Globalization is:

[Fran]

INTERNATIONAL THINKING

Question: What is the truest definition of Globalization?

Answer: Princess Diana's death.

Question: How come?

Answer:

An English princess

With an Egyptian boyfriend

Crashes in a French tunnel,

Driving a German car

With a Dutch engine,

Driven by a Belgian who was drunk

On Scottish whisky, (check the bottle before you change the spelling)

Followed closely by Italian Paparazzi,

On Japanese motorcycles;

Treated by an American doctor,

Using Brazilian medicines.

This is sent to you by an American,

Using Bill Gates' technology,

And you're probably reading this on your computer,

That use Taiwanese chips,

And a Korean monitor,

Assembled by Bangladeshi workers

In a Singapore plant,

Transported by Indian lorry-drivers,

Hijacked by Indonesians,

Unloaded by Sicilian longshoremen,

And trucked to you by Mexican illegals...

That, my friends, is Globalization

Funny but true!

The reality of globalizaation was driven home to me many years ago when I started seeing summer fruits available in the winter and vice versa.

Yes, it is now a world community. Think of the possibilities! Dream big.

And get over it.

[Dr. Shane]

It really is a small world. Not hard to see how prophecy will be able to be played out.

[Nicodema]

Or not ... not hard to see how we could all come together AS one community, and put an end to the stupid intertribal warfare that still too easily plagues us, both in thought and in deed.

I say we take back the apocalypse and f*** 'em in the eye.

I want to make this very clear and public.... there is no need for profanity, be it visible or 'invisible' on ANY forum that holds my name as the owner and the one responsible for the forum.

It's just an expression, Stan.

Change it to "to heck with 'em" or "devil take the hindmost" whatever you think fitting, I don't care. The edit period has expired or I'd do it myself.
