Future of EMU

What do you think will happen to EMU ?

The recession has already taken its tool on Greece, Italy, Germany, Iceland, Britain, Ireland and it seems like France, Portugal and Spain will follow. Scandinavia has also been affected by the current recession. IMF and World Bank sure has its work cut out for them.

And not too mention the US and Asia.

Positivism

Why is it that all journalists and reporters usually only wants to talk about big sensations like disasters, death and sadness ??

I think it’s sad because there are a lot of positive things happening in the world, despite everything.

Let’s take Moldava, they are hopping that a possible EMU membership will help them boost their economy. Or why not Andres Manuel Lopez Manador who is hoping he will become Mexico’s next Leftwing president in the coming election of 2012.  Despite the fact that the international economy isnot only in current recession people have apparently not lost hope in love. There are numerous dating shows  not only in the US but many, many Swedish shows as well. Why not date a farmer or a single mother and then propose in TV in the old show Kär & Galen… I guess it’s popular with marriages in Sweden again, especially since the Crown Princess recently got married…

I wonder who will be aworded the Nobel Peace Prize this year ….

Every cloud has it’s silver lining.

Ne omittas solum ambulantem – don’t forget the lone wanderer.

Responsabilites

The death of The King of Pop, seems to finally have been settled and solved, as his physician Dr Conrad Murray has been found guilty of inflicting death to Michael Jackson, the King of Pop.

Julian Assange’s trial is still ongoing and it seems like they soon will be able to decide weither or not to release Mr Assange to Sweden, as the alleged crimes he is accussed of apparently took place there. As for Wikileaks it has been decided that they shut their business down due to lack of resources.

Berlusconi might be the next to fall in the EMU mess, since Italy has a larger central government debt than Greece had so now the Italian government seems eager to replace him. Will he be able to politically survive or forced to step down as Italy is about to vote about the country’s future. And yes, Berlusconi has apparently resigned to save the future and economy of Italy. Who could be next, maybe France, Ireland, Portugal and Spain… but who really knows…

Nobel Dinner – Swedish Democratic Party leader not invited this year either. Sweden is supposed to be a democratic country, where everyone has a right to their own political and religous conviction. Is then right ow wrong to exclude them ? Recently the other Political parties participated in poltical debates with the said party yet not everyone accepted to debate against them.

SIDA has donated 150000 to anti-Israeli transcript.

SAAB’s future still unsure as GM never was included in the negotiations with the Pang Da and Youngman.

The success of Chinese Olympus has not been what it seemed to be, apparently they have delibrately cheated for 30 years or so.

Confined Writers’ Day 15th November as apparently many writers has been put behind jail. I guess everyone knows of Dawit Isaak ? Nazrin Sotoudeh, Muharrem Erbey  just to name a few. Swedish PEN is fighting to release all of the wrongfully inprisoned writers.

Bye, bye EU

So Greece seems to be really desperate to stay in the EU, despite the fact that their economy has been severly weakened like Iceland’s and Italy’s recently was. So what does this mean for the rest of the world (EU members) will there be a stop of countries wanting to to convert to the EURO soon? Or will there even be members that seriously would consider leaving the EU? It was said that Greece would have an election to stay within the EMU or not but instead they will create a new government. Giorgios Papandreou’s days as Greece’s Prime Minister might be over.

Do you think the economic crisis will affect the future of the euro in the long run ? The EU has apparently decided to choose to save the EURO instead of helping Greece. Do you think that’s right or wrong ?

Marriage not sacred anymore

My parents have been married for over 30 years now, I think it’s 34 years now to be exact.

It seems to be really rare these days that a marriage last that long, for 3 decades. I know it’s not a world record but it seems to get more and more rare that a marriage lasts and really becomes

for better or worse, in good times and bad.

I’m not a Catholic I’m a Lutheran, but that’s not really the point here. Take Britney Spears for example who mangaged to be married for a staggering 55 hours. And now another starcouple is getting a divorce if we are to believe the tabloids. Kim Kardashian is getting a divorce after only 2 months of marriage (that some says was an arranged marriage)… Then there’s also those people who seems to have found true love or their special someone. They can stay married for years and then suddenly they’re getting a divorce like Jennifer Aniston and Brad Pitt or if it’s not a divorce it’s repeated infedelity.

Most recently it was stated that Ashton Kutcher cheated on his wife Demi Moore, they’re not getting a divorce… at least not yet. Maybe they’ll stay togheter after this, unlike Tiger Woods and Elin Nordesjo; Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck or for that matter Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman back in the days.

It seems like people these days are rushing into things like marriage and playing house way too soon.. or without really knowing each other… I’m not sure why there suddenly seems to be just as many divorces as marriages… (generalization).

Is a lasting and stable marriage just pre luck or is it something else ? What’s the potion or quick-fix for a lasting marriage, does such a thing even exist?
