Forum Update

It's always a bit of debate whether to leave a forum open to the public or to make it viewable for members only. I want to encourage people to join and participate in discussions rather than just reading so I have closed it to members only. If you have been reading it - please join and join in!

Don't forget that translation is built in so you can post in any language.

Old News Revisited

Ok I know Jackie's comments at the Bao Economic Forum last year are now such old news but I found this blog post this morning that enters into a very interesting discussion on the comments Jackie made and the reason I am posting the link to it is because it highlights some of the cultural differences between East and West, the differences in interpretation and meaning and value certain words have in different cultures and how that colours how certain words/phrases are interpreted. If this kind of stuff interests you this is definitely worth reading even if it is very old news.
