I went when I was really young. I think I mainly visited resorts and amusement parks.
The G8
-
Do we care?
Why? -
I care.
Because i am interested in what happens in the world and which topics are brought on by which nation, and how they are addressed. -
I care. The G-8 are looking to solve real issues. They are asking for 40 Billion dollars in aid to Africa! That could make a huge difference. They are also coming down hard on the US for weapons sales.

pardon my ignorance, but what the heck is g-8? and people are going to get their weapons from elsewhere like russia and israel.
-
Let’s just hope that those 40 billion dollars are well spent and don’t end up as a “endless barrel of waste.”
-
G-8, G8, same difference :)
-
I’m finding it a little bit interesting -
less violence than previous G8’s
the NEPAD initiative
the anti-terrorist actions . . . . -
I have read some on the the G8 and I have one question. What the heck are people protesting it for? I don’t get it.
-
Too much “Big Brother” is out to get us. But I find it futile to protest the way they’re doing. (I hate to say this) Be like Hitler! He too wanted to overthrow the Weimar Republic, but the failure of the Munich Beer Hall revolt taught him an important lesson. You take over the government using the system to your own advantage – from the inside. It’s a waste of money (having to pay for security and damages) and hardly results in any intermediate change.

Well, it depends…
the generation of '68 went on to “go through the system” and change it from within. What happened? The system changed the ppl (e.g. the greens in germany, in power with the social democrats).
It’s all a matter of time, once you are in the system, you have to act quick to change it. Assuming positions of power does take some time though (normally). -
Horten,
The G8 are a summit where the leftist european intellectuals try to make the US do things which are bad for them :) :) :) -
“It’s all a matter of time, once you are in the system, you have to act quick to change it. Assuming positions of power does take some time though (normally).”
Plus you need a strong leader (ie Hitler) that isn’t easily swayed and can carry out orders.

Don’t rely on standing on a table and shooting in order to over-throw a country!

although standing on a table and shouting can do many other marvelous things . . . .
