what we have in common conference.

I wish the world leaders would have some type of conference regarding what their countries/cultures have in common. You could say what's the point. But, just my opinion, I think it's why my dad has so many different kinds of friends. I've started to see there's certain things about them that are the same...no matter how different they look. And I wonder if that isn't the same in the world among peoples. For instance, I'll bet in Bagdad there's the neighborhood gossip...always in someone else's business and someone like me who my dad calls the town crier...telling news. (Told him he's wrong. I'm now the world crier.)
I wonder if some kind of common conference would do any good?

But a conference for common people, i.e. the voters who put them in power, would be a nice thing.
I think people should be encouraged as much as possible to spend one or two years abroad. It would certainly broaden the horizons of many. A much needed thing in today's world.
an interesting idea but ...it's always financial interests that dictate these kind of things ...understanably to a degree.
i'd be interested to know about your dads varied freinds ...ex marine etc ...does he drink ...does he smoke anything interesting ...do his freinds?
YOU ...as in americans are basicaly europeans who moved house ...but the divide seems to grow by the day.
This is the kind of idea which will be dismissed but would do a lot more towards world peace than many others. I grew up in a multi-cultural area and my experience of this makes me more tolerant.
Having the chance to speak to those you oppose or think you oppose makes a lot of difference.
For it to work, the leaders would have to be shut in a conference room, with hot water and some teabags (see, i'm not completely mean ) and someone to say: "right, now what is your opinion on this" and to filter out all the jargon and vote-seeking policies.
