That really is unbelievably two-faced don't you think?
I'll have to have a read.

Could the world "go back in time" 20+ years?
by Simon in.
the situation with sars in asia appears to be worsening and travel restrictions alone are likely to have a devastating effect on the immediate asian economy (singapore, taiwan, hong kong etc...) as a lot of these rely on trade and travel.. i wonder if the world could now cope with going back 20+ years to a time when fewer people travelled and international travel was a rarity for the majority of people.. nowadays we take for granted that we can jump on a plane and jet off to faraway lands ... but what if we couldn't?
i think one "benefit" (bad word) to sars is that it could put a brake on globalisation which i see as a bad thing.

Just to clear it up, I am not really nationalistic, but it's the way things are being dictated to another sovreign nation against the traditions of that nation.
Traditional measures may be a small point, but not to all the shopkeepers that had to but new scales and faced fines for not doing, and also the older generation who get confused buying in grammes instead of ounces. I agree that it seems a small issue, so why did it need to be changed?
Jayson,
Yep, it's a big issue and I don't think it is at all wrong to be worried about the borders being too open. Not everyone who wants to come into a country has good motives so a country should have the right to stop them if they wish, but only with sufficient reason.

I don't really know what you mean, 'leave a bitter taste in the British mouth?'
I don't think anyone in Britain likes to have laws passed in a different country that we then have to follow. In the past few years we have had to change from the imperial measuring system (which is still used in the US) over to the metric system. It is now against the law for shops to sell in imperial unless it offers the price in metric aswell.
Would you be happy having laws dictated to you from a country outside of the country you are living in?

Jayson,
Hope you don't mind me responding to a direct question of Simon.
The way the borders have been erroded over the years especially in Europe has caused more problems than the freedom of movement it was supposed to give.
I think this is one of Bill O'Reilly's beefs with the US government about the lack of border controls between the US and Mexico and I think he's right on this issue.
In order for a country to protect it's citizens then it must have control of it's borders. The movement of economic migrants into Britain has sparked major diebate in the House Of Parliament, and some fascist parties here in Britain are actually winning seats in local government because of their twisting of the issues and putting fear into the people of the area.
The likes of NAFTA will start the same as the EEC did, but will eventually turn into what we have now in Europe, the EU were we have laws made for us in Britain by minister in Brussels.

It would be great if it happened, but they would just dis-fellowship them all and employ a new batch of suckers.
As long as there are new people being born, there will be new people taken in by the witnesses.
It proves it with their changing doctine. New ones don't know about it, as they are not told about it, so are unaware.
I'm afraid there will always be new blood for them to abuse.

Sixofnine,
It depends on what you mean by a traditional media source.
Is the BBC a traditional source? Or maybe Fox News? Or Pravda? I think it depends on which country you come from whether you will believe anything that is said from another. I don't think many French people would read German newspapers and visa-versa.
It has been proven many times that the mainstream media is biased for many different reasons. Rupert Murdoch owns Sky News. Can you imagine any criticism of him on that channel?
Conrad Black, a Canadian, The Hollinger Group, owns many newspapers around the world including some East-Coast US papers and the Jerusalem post.
The mainstream media over the last 10 years have been buying each other up so there is less objectivity than there was before. Can you imagine ABC news condemning Ford when they are major shareholders.

Sars A Red Herring.
by Englishman ini'm not unduly worried about contracting sars, particularly as the chances of getting it are remote.
there's plenty more threatening illnesses around that aren't remote, but leastways i can have some control over these far more dangerous diseases by how i conduct my lifestyle.
look at this from today's sunday times: .

Pleasuredome,
At the height of the foot and mouth crisis, I was staying up in a place called Ponteland, near Newcastle. I met a vet at the hotel who was working for DEFRA, the government agency for controlling the outbreak.
The news was that the out-break had started at a farm nearby and they were up, checking out the farm.
He told me a few interesting things.
~ That the infected animals will recover all by themselves within a 3-4 week period, with no bad effects from the disease, they would just be unsellable.
~ That burning them on pires only enhances the risk of spreading the spores for miles on the wind.
~ And his take was that the governmented just wanted to kill off a lot of the small farmers livelyhoods, so the production of food could be controlled in larger farms.
~ The vet fees for these small farmers with maybe 50 sheep where the same as for a farmer with 1000 sheep.
