(from canada) (just visisted america, came home to canada; and felt the same mindset from its people) I mean, why is it happening, the dumbing down of so many, and the hateful remarks they all laugh at; what others call pessimism i call optimism, (because i care about modern day global issues) i get called a "pus**" for crying when i find out 100 people just died in a single day(they were only "********s" and the next day i have to put up with people whining over 1 star from tv who died that day 1 person is more important then an entire city to some of these people the system is wrong; and i'm so angry they call me crazy for caring about human life and liberties what has the world come to? oh, and yes, i'm a terrorist too, i'm against my government; i could go on slavery was abolished? THERES MORE SLAVERY GOING ON GLOBALLY THEN THERES EVER BEEN just cause its not happening in your country, as a stupid mindless drone of a consumer - putting handguns in soldiers hands; that works for a system bent on making the rich richer and the poor poorer so you can wear your Adidas sweater and eat McDonald's why can't people see whats going on? and why does it make me so....i can't even say angry..... or depressed...or even apathetic - all three at once hit me when i think about what humankind is/ has put up with as history repeats itself over and over; i'm a "terrorist" because we're willingly enslaving ourselves needlessly consuming, and letting our government kill for resources so we can take them for granted? i'm a neo-con for not believing in color? i'm even ... insane? i don't understand these sheeple it makes me sick to my stomach - and feel like crying at the same time but none come as i lose hope in humanity day after day after day as i look around me; and see hollow shells of what should be people, poor misled people its so bad .
Your post is more like an incoherent rant, but I think I understood the general theme of what you are saying. Injustice is going on all around you, people are struggling to live their lives in these times without enough decent paying jobs. And most people do not seem to care about all the real problems. They are too busy watching televission, which is all mindless trash.
Crybaby. The world has always been a (*)(*)(*)(*)ty place. Accept it, get over it, and live your life and remember that in today's modern day, the world is in much better shape with regards ot human justice than it was just 50 years ago. I wonder how softees like you would've survived WWII and the Depression!?
Ok it is in better shape than it was, but it still has a long way to go. The OP (is it a poem??) is right to complain and comment on what is in front of her face, though probably best to toughen up for her/his own sake.
Let me try to answer this one. Some of us see the worldwide economic shift faster than others. And these few of us take advantage of this vision, and herd (and pillage) everything in a newly found greed to protect the self for a while. But I think there is no worry, because on the mid-to-long run everyone's investments are a function of everyone's economic contribution, so if that is slim, the greediest herder looses its value too. (HAHAHA)
The reality is that everything in the world has been moneyterised, which suits the worlds rich as they can pay for anything, including people's morals.
Just because "The world has always been a (*)(*)(*)(*)ty place." doesn't mean it should be. If you are happy living in (*)(*)(*)(*), stay there and wallow. But don't pretend you're a hero for staying there.
Because it is about Western Europe.and the system on this forum allows members to trawl back for years to find something which takes their fancy (there is at least one member who makes a bit of a hobby in doing that). If you have a problem with that.or anything.... take it up with the powers that be. But given it has been pulled up...my response to the OP. if I have read him/her right.....is the problem is Friedman economics, slavishly followed by the US and UK Governments, imposed on other countries at the point of guns....or threats to remove aid, institute trade sanctions....and all the other bully boy tactics used by "The Gods Who Are Western "Democracies"" as epitomised by the USA and the UK (USA-lite so far..but they are working hard on making us a USA-clone)..and imperial attitudes which the UK has had since God was a boy..and the USA is working on making their own. I think if you think about his "incoherent rant".......he tells the truth....the world is going to hell in a handbasket....and we in the West have to bear an extremely large percentage of the responsibility for that.
This rant is about someone from Canada visiting the USA and has nothing to do with Western Europe. Europe is the best thing that has happened to the world
And Western Europe, (particularly the UK) doesn't ask when the USA says jump......How high? Really ? When?
I think that people are just more aware of it because of the internet and mass media. I don't think basic human behaviors are more or less anything than they were in the past--the negatives just manifest themselves differently as time passes.
Thats it is it? thats your argument? I suppose with your silly Palestinian flag avatar you think eh Arab world has something to offer? Almost everything good comes from western Europe and its diaspora. As for the USA we in Europe have gotten the USA to massively subsidise our defence for decades. You just have no clue.
Nope.that's not my argument.....the wee smilies rolling on the floor laughing and my comment......that was my reaction to your argument! Isn't about time you got over your disgust with my avatar.....especially since it is going to be my avatar on here until the Palestinians have a state. It's not the first time you have had a pop at my avatar...even when, like here, the thread subject is not Israel/Palestine. Define good for me.......in the context of Almost everything good comes from western Europe and its diaspora. We haven't actually.....but we have gotten the USA to massively subsidise their own defence which starts at the borders of Europe with us the first line of their defence. After all..when was the last time the USA did anything which wasn't going to benefit the USA? Really?
