The English and the Americans have a weird expression for “sorry for the foul language”, which is: “pardon my french”. Don’t knock the French language! It’s a beautiful language. More so than English, at least in my book.

Americans impose some weird conditions for collecting prize money from sweepstakes on Canadian citizens. I’ve seen this in the “Sweepstakes Rules” on several American web sites. Canadians must either pass a math-skills test or a full-fledged IQ-test in order to claim the prize. In my opinion that’s really rude.

Still, the English and Americans are, as a people, generally extremely polite and friendly. That’s why these observations are so confusing.

Anyone care to share similar observations?

There’s simply too much wrong with the world. Too much to say.

So in brief:

• War is childish and uncivilized - let’s grow up, OK?
• “An Inconvenient Truth” needs to be on the curriculum of every school in the world.
• More stuff in the public domain please…
• More people need to learn not to take themselves so seriously.
• Let’s all keep in mind that there’s nothing in this world more valuable than a person’s life.
• The death penalty? Seriously?
• People should be more open-minded
• Some people need to be less open-minded
• Some people need to start using their minds in the first place
• People need to learn the difference between insignificant and minute details and focus on the things that really matter
• More companies need to understand that renewable energy and environmentally friendly products and production processes can be Big Business.
• More companies need to take better care of their most valuable assets - their employees.
• It should be illegal for a company to sponsor any sort of political campaign aimed at getting somebody elected for something. It corrupts politics, and politics is bad enough without corruption.

I could go on, and on, and on, and on, and on, and on, and on, and on, and… However, I’m afraid the list would (much too quickly) degrade into a list of minute and insignificant details.
