The True Finns party doesn’t want to give financial support to Portugal in it’s current situation. They suggest that portugal should be removed temporarily from the euro, until Portugal “is back on it’s feet again”. Discuss.

So, technically, I don’t believe in bailing out banks, so I’m kinda conflicted by this one. But I definitely don’t think that those that have joined the Euro should be booted out of it, temporarily. The European Union, for all … Continue reading →

How do you see EU? How has it developed, what has it improved and what should be done differently in the future?

Posted on April 28, 2011 by

Big hulking lefty bureacracy. Which unfortunately is roughly how the right see it, and obviously they like that even less than I do. The EU is, by the nature of its goals and history, quite a complicated beast. Getting countries … Continue reading →

True Finns want to cut the support for modern art completely. They want to move the cultural allowances to support art that aims to strengthen the national identity. Finland’s other big parties think this is impossible – only in totalitarian societies the politicians have taken the right to decide what art can be like. Discuss.

So this is just bullshit. I guess it’s a vaguely populist appeal to people who find modern art elitist (which is the fault of dickheads who only talk about things in rarefied terms, not artists or the art itself), with … Continue reading →

Finland’s third biggest party True Finns wants to significantly make cuts in these areas: development aid, EU-membership fees, Immigration. If all these cuts were made, how would it affect the country and it’s international relations?

It’s common during economic downturns for this sort of attitude to rise, it’s happening here in the UK (BNP, EDL etc), we can see it in America (Tea Party), and in Finland, it’s led to a far right party with … Continue reading →

Who’s holding back the electric car?

Posted on April 26, 2010 by

If you want a serious factual answer to this there are much better sources, and I don’t have the time to do the research in detail, sorry.. I’d recommend this film, and talking to Robert Llewellyn (he ranted excellently about … Continue reading →

Is finding balance necessary?

Posted on April 22, 2010 by

When on a tight rope, yes. When lying on the beach, it comes naturally without any effort. And it means something else entirely, if anything at all, when swimming. But my first thought is actually politics. As part of it’s … Continue reading →

How do you find the balance?

Posted on April 21, 2010 by

You just put things on and take things off until it starts to look about right. Then try and hang on for dear life. Just like a traditional weighing scale. I’m tempted to argue that everything in life is about … Continue reading →

How could you be in two places at a time?

Posted on April 20, 2010 by

Quantum entanglement. Fold your hands in mine and tie our veins together, stretch across an infinite void and be intertwined forever. Like atoms, married and split. Carried across a distance and still conjoined. Breaking the laws of physics to stay … Continue reading →

How can you live in a moment?

Posted on April 19, 2010 by

With the skin. Or senstation might be more accurate. Though this may just be me, I tend to find that my memory (the past) and imagination (the future) is more of a conceptual thing, with the past in particular being … Continue reading →

Can you smoke, sleep and eat to storage?

Posted on March 14, 2010 by

AK explained this concept to me last night, so I might well do to explain it briefly for you all. Apparently the finns have a notion, and a phrase, for when you try and stuff yourself full of something before … Continue reading →
