An interesting aspect is the foreign investment side of it, and which countries are preferred for this.

I just read in an unrelated article, that contrary to popular belief, Danish companies invest more money in the recently admitted 10 new EU member states, than they do in India and China combined. And Denmark is now the world's largest foreign investor in Lithuania.

The French themselves are not anti-semitic. North African and middle-eastern immigrants however have been trained to be anti-semitic monsters and there are many of htese monsters in France. Thus France has the highest rate of attacks upon Jews in Europe.

taking start from vetty's subject, isn't it funny they now talk less and less about "globalization"? even in this study the word is used out of its first meaning.
in the '90s they used to say "globilazation and people would stage riots and others would say "globilization more globalization and blah blah blah my two blue balls.

but now hehehe
they've dropped it. people didnt react too friendly on that notion after they realized what the hell it finally meant.

now it's "democracy" all over the world and things like that but you dont hear "globalizaion" so much

Globalization is inherently neutral, it is what people in positions of power do with it that can make it good or bad. If it is used to foster peace, democracy, intellectualism, ecological awareness and cultural tolerance, it is good. If it is used for exploitation, oppression, and economic colonialism, it is bad.
