I do believe I said big-girl pants, DCS, not big pants. From a woman's perspective, there's quite a difference, and quite an important one at that.

 

I think that china thinks it can pretty much do what it likes as russia is on it's side too (pretty much) so who's going to stop them?
Like on the "team america" film, all we seem to do is send them a letter saying how displeased we are etc....
Basically, nothing.

 

Well there are 1.4 billion of them. So they can afford to sacrifice a good few million, and not even notice. They have also built so many massive cities, that the west don't have enough weaponry to deal with them all. While i am pretty sure, they have more than enough, to obliterate all of the American cities, any others that they choose.They are rapidly getting aquainted with India, ( Population 1.2 billion) and Russia. Dangerous times ahead i reckon.

 

If only we could believe the bastards eh.

 

Slightly different. One is a failure of leadership across a whole organisation, the other is a failure deal with one person not doing the job well enough. Both carry responsibility though, I agree.

 

I bet he wont be the only one either.

 

Good God - there are some real sick manipulative opportunistic bastards out there.

Copy cats should get double the original sentence.

 

Sorry I had an IT issue. I did NOT mean to click funny against that post. Have now corrected it.

 

Not stuck for a dickhead around here, so far as it goes....

But… Why?!?

 

Yes, a very reasonably written piece. Much of it applies to conditions in the U.S., too. While I agree with you, DCS, that the question should be what big finance is doing to focus on supporting and financing strong ethical companies, I'm feeling rather cynical these days and think that the bottom line will continue to be money. If it's profitable to invest in ethical companies, not make money off modern slavery, or withhold support from Russian and Chinese companies with questionable ethics and politics, then those things will be supported. If not, well, hmmm. I'm not confident that much change will happen. Companies can manage to "look good" with stats on diversity in hiring while little true change happens. I do wish we'd learn from our history but it seems we're doomed to repeat it oft times.

 

Not a clue-insurance scam?

 

Well remembered! This goes back to when l first joined MAG, I remember Peter Bottomburp well enough!

 

Funny you should say that, I was just thinking the very same thing. I reckon people should be aware that it was MAG that lead the charge against Bottomley's ridiculous and downright dangerous support for leg protectors.

 

Doubt they have any munitions coming up to their sell (or detonate) by date.
