| trashleg said: oldschoolfool, you speak as though there is no country but America on this planet. Zucas, I salute you. I have thought this myself many times, not just in the wake of the Haitian earthquake. its a sad, sorry state of affairs but people in general are too selfish to see beyond themselves, their own nation or even landmass. the whole world is bloody crazy right now. i wish i could just float about in space for a while. |
Yes being able to see past yourself is something most find difficult. But one must ask, should a human be calculated in monetary value. That doesn't seem humane to me. So yea I agree with you this world is bloody crazy but I think it is mainly due to ignorance. They don't know there is another way. They think only that to live you have to work or do these things. Why not have a capitalist market for everything but the neccessites of life. Just no one either thinks that way or no one thinks they can think that way.
But thanks for the imput. I'm always trying to analyze all these different arguments and look at all sides. Always been curious in seeing masses of opinions and trying to find the best solution out of all of them. Or more notably, trying to find what is the status quo and finding why it is flawed. With such a crazy world, there has to be something better than what we have. Oh well, but every now and then I just like to write things like this to see if I can get people to look at a different take on things that are commonly held. Think people would be surprised how differently you can view the world if you just try to look at more opinions than their own.
