There are not too many ppl on this planet. I know what you mean, but there actually aren't. Every person on the planet could fit into Alaska. It's just we own land. There's too much greed. There's too much consumption. If you look at the footprint from say a poor person in comparison to a rich person, the poor person barely leaves any environmental footprint while the rich person contributes a ton. We enjoy too great of lifestyles for everyone to get their basic needs met. And I simply don't understand that. It's simple edicit when in a line for food, that you don't go up for seconds until everyone has had a turn. So we can be mature when it comes to a food line, but not people's lives. We are a completely uncompassionate society who likes to boast about its generosity and goodwill. We act like taking care of everyone is an impossible feat. I mean, come on, set up a system that supplies everyone with food, water, and shelter....then go from there and don't change the things that offer the 3 basic essentials. But no, it makes total sense that a guy like trump, who is clearly an asshole, as well as most politicians and ceos, is a billionaire, while I know really good ppl who live in trailers. When you see someone like trump succeed, don't you kind of think....well we messed up this system somehow. When it's hillary vs trump for the president, can't we admit...well, this system obviously doesn't work.

It's called getting a job, renting a space to live, and a grocery store. All of these wonderful things are available to everyone that goes out and seeks them.

  • You think America's corporate run system is perfectly fine? If so I'm not even going to start a convo with you. Because that is a high level of ignorance right there. A system where the big banks ceos caused millions of families to lose their homes and money, and commit suicide and no one went to jail. Yet I watch a dairy Queen manager go to jail for being kind of mean to an employee who then killed himself. A system where medicine is more expensive than drugs. A system who says give us all your poor and sick ppl, but doesn't even supply Healthcare for our current citizens. I think you missed my point. We have a system that offers ppl this shit in a way. What I'm saying is, globally, if we globally set up a system that was made so everyone has easy access to the essentials...this world could sustain itself and it's entire population. Then build on that system without effecting the basics. And if you say, we have that system, then explain why any single person in this world, either is starving, thirsty, or homeless?

The reason medicine [i]is [/i] expensive is because of the government. Medicine needs to be approved by the FDA. That is not cheap to do so.

It was called communism. Last time I checked that wasn't very sustainable.

  • Ya I'm not having a convo with you. It'd literally be like arguing with someone like trump. Just say, nah uh. You're so wrong. This system is the THE best system. I've never seen such a great system. Literally everyone is depressed and needing medicine to deal with our society...and it's SO great. Get your head out of your ass, and look at how many people are suffering. You started this thread with there are too many ppl. You're wring, the pr9blem is the people in power do not morally provide for their ppl, they provide for themselves. You need a new perspective.

    Because a lot of people at the bottom are scum and willingly choose not to contribute to society to purposely leech off the government. The whole point of a society is to have everyone contribute to it and to reward succession. That's how humans have come up with all these great inventions and technological advancements in the past 100 years which have ultimately bettered our world. By feeding people who choose not to contribute, you're encouraging other people to be lazy and not contribute, and we'll never make progress that way. It may be a free country but you don't have the freedom to sit on your ass 24/7, the world doesn't work like that nor should it ever. If people choose not to get off their asses and don't get a job, then they can starve for all I care. Survival of the fittest, just how mother nature intended.

  • There are just as many scum at the top as there are at the bottom dude. The difference, the guy at the top is able to look you in the eyes an smile while they take everything from you, and it's legal. I know what your point is. I hate welfare and think it's taken advatage of. I watch the guy with no job have a nicer car than me and go on vacations all the time... and ya that shit is wrong too. That's part of the horrible system that I was talking about. Btw I'm not poor. I live in a 1.6 million dollar home on the water. I've also been in a spot where I was stealing money so I could buy drugs. I've seen a little of both worlds. You have a very incompassionate view and the world is more complicated than you think. Ppl have problems. Most of those ppl are on disability or welfare because they can't work. I've suffered from depression most of my life, extreme depression and I still went to work even though it was torture every day. So I have little compassion for those who say they mentally can't handle work. But I'm not them. I personally can't get over a girl easily like most. I've been hooked on a girl that broke me for 4 years now. I can't help it. You also have to think about why did those ppl become like that. No parents? Brought up in foster homes surrounded by gangs. Than another guy is brought up with 2 loving parents with lots of money, 2 houses and all the toys ever so it was easy for him to make friends. I laugh because it says men are created equal. Bull to the -blam!-ing shit. And again, my family is in the top 1%. My sister is 30, and just bought a $1 million house and has a porsche, and she can't handle being told no. She still acts like a baby victim all the time. I could get away with not working or doing anything and my parents would pay for me. I have a nice safety net when my parents go. Do I think that's fair? Yes and no. My parents were brought up poor and worked their butts off to get there. But my parents also neglected my teenage years because they were working and it really -blam!-ed with me. We lost what was really most important about being a family in search of capital. There's a point in which our progress is actually regression. You think flying cars is a positive future? I say no one starving is a positive future. I don't want ppl to suffer while I'm out on my private beach, smoking weed and drinking beers with no cares in the world. I'm sorry that's not fair to me. I didn't have to work for that. My parents did. But I get the rewards. And we're not really really rich in comparison to these families around me with yachts and 3 houses and live like royalty. It's disgusting to watch. Absolutely disgusting. It's literally like watching ppl wipe their ass with money while others are willing to kill for it because they're so desperate.

  • So you have to power to help but choose not to, but expect others to. Gotcha.

  • I give plenty back to ppl. I'm an eagle scout as well. I volunteered alot of my child hood. So my 20s, I worked for myself and gave up my entire 20s social life so I could save my own money and not be dependent on my parents. I got over the drug life on my own without rehab or support from anyone. I chose to be an honest person even though I could clearly see the dishonest route would be more profitable for me. I chose to to break my heart by letting the love of my life go because she didn't seem happy with me. You have no idea what pain I've made myself endure because I feel bad for my opportunities and feel bad for unfairness of the world. I could have easily taken advatage of all my opportunities and network connections and cheated my way to success. But I said no, that's not fair. And chose to take the harder route in life, and it -blam!-ing sucks. And I did that, because I can see our biggest issue in this world, is everyone sees 2 paths to success. And too many ppl are choosing the bad hurtful and selfish path because it's easier. If I had done that, I would have been contributing. I refuse to contribute to thay as much as possible. Again, I'm not saint. I just choose to think of others in every decision I male, or as much as I can. Have you ever given up a job, because you see the person next to you has 2 kids and needs the money more than you? I have. Have you ever thrown yourself in front of someone else from being fired because they have a harder life than you. And it'd be better if they kept their job than you? I have. Have you ever purposely broken your own heart so the love of your life has a better shot at the future she wants? I have. I see very little pros since I have become a nicer and more honest person. Yet I choose to stay this way and still try to become even nicer and more honest, because I know it benefits others on a daily basis
