Question: What is the truest definition of Globalization?

Answer: Princess Diana's death.

Question: How come?

Answer: An English princess with an Egyptian boyfriend crashes in a French tunnel, driving a German car with a Dutch engine, driven by a Belgian who was drunk on Scottish whiskey, followed closely by Italian Paparazzi, on Japanese motorcycles, treated by an American doctor, using Brazilian medicines! And this is sent to you by an American, using Bill Gates' technology Which he enjoyed stealing from the Japanese. And you are probably reading this on one of the IBM clones that use Taiwanese-made chips, and Korean-made monitors, assembled by Bangladeshi workers in a Singapore plant, transported by lorries driven by Indians, hijacked by Indonesians, unloaded by Sicilian longshoremen, trucked by Mexican illegal aliens, and finally sold to you.

That, my friend, is Globalization! Finally, an explanation in English



Any opposing opinions?

Wow, that was also posted by paradox, and no reply

... so which one do I close?


It's somewhat interesting, though, but you could probably do that with many other things ...

Personally i think it would be best for Australia to keep out off this one. We are already involved in so many things its to hard to keep track.

IBM clone... long time ago I heard that word.

IBM PC clone, almost all computers are clones now.

Still, there is alot of nationalities missing in this story.

if that is the case, if there is a question on what globalization means, you better answer it using what you said paradox
