Open you're eyes - you just have to look around to see that society is not sick. The support on this site is an example of this.

Unforrtunately, small acts of kindness are not reported on the news just the bad stuff - and it is kind of hard to see the good side of society when all you see is the media reporting all the murders, rapes etc.

Sometimes, that is the view you get with society as well particularly when you are bullied at school.

My school years were a nightmare, and I thought this way for a long time - but now I just have to walk around my neighbourhood and know that 95% of the people out there are basically cool.

I think human beings tend to be quite pessimistic as well, but I try to live my life thinking it is a blessing.

I leave you with a quote:

I never saw a wild thing
sorry for itself.
A small bird will drop frozen dead from a bough
without ever having felt sorry for itself.

-D.H. Lawrence

Cheers

Just an observation while my stay on this planet(heheh) Society will never change ..goverment will always look out for the means of the upper upper class (the tax bracket where the zeros are continued on next page) SOME people( mostly the ones that make the largest impact on society)will aways care whats in your wallet opposed to what talent you have been blessed with. You would think the world would learn from it's past...hell we all know MONEY is the ROOT to all evil..but what do we do about it... rack our brains to make it...because we all know with out it you will not survive..Im sure you could...but come on..you know what I mean.. The end being close I wouldnt be surprised...Society has come along way from the 50-60..when certain preduices(sp?) were allowed the only difference is the govrment has bettered their art of cover up. It is a shame it takes something drastic to open your eyes..but in all respect how open do your eyes really come..what level of awarness do people really get too.. They seem to look at everything on an Isolated level not on a gradure scale ..and that is what truely pisses me off. I know Im ranting but goverment policies are a mystery to me how can they really get away with some of the crap they propose and pass. For some reason I have a felling it will always be like this..unless of course we have a nuclear war...then who know what the hell society will look like...

Im personally for the first option, but then again there are days when i feal its not worth saving and we should just enjoy the downfall.
Arioch,

I happen to agree w/ you on this point that a revolt needs to happen in this country. The rich control the gov., the media, and the law to qoute Queensryche. But I think that most of the sheeple in this country will just sit around and watch it all go by. They are all 2 worried about what they are wearing, whats going on w/Ben and JLo and discussing the kiss between Brit and Madonna. They all walk around like mindless zombies. You know why you get your income taxes taken out every week?? Because if they took at the end of the year in one lump sum, people would go beserk and overthrow the gov. Big business can do whatever it wants they have the politcians in their back pockets. I am not anti business but when wrong doing is done they should be held accountable. Everyday we are losing our rights in this country slowly but surely. First they take your right to own a firearm then they take your right to free speech. It happened to the Jews in WW2 it could happen here. I think its time for a change, I vote but I think it doesnt matter there is way 2 much corruption. I think that generally about 95% of the people in this country are OK and probably think like I do, its the upper 5% that control everything and that is what we have to change.

heres my two sentz

it is my current belief that the human race is headed down the shitter not with a bang but with a societal whimper. Back in the day a villages highest building was its church, its temple. Now take a look at our "temples". Money is the new god. I've got to agree that human rights are definatly on the backburner for cash. And heres another contention, the revolution isnt coming. Over the last several years I've been involved in several activism groups and I can tell you from what I've seen at protests/demonstrations all over the nothern hempishpere that a rev isnt coming. People in this country are just too lazy and content. A class war isnt coming because no one wants to get hurt or put in danger, they want to sit about and watch the lakers game, sipping on pepsi, and generally become ignorant to the fact that while American citizens do have some nicities in there lives, America is a sucking the life out of the rest of the planet. Did you know that America is the only Industrialized country in the world not to have government supplied health care? For fucks sake there is federally aided medical care in fucking south africa, and they are faaaaaaaaaaaaar from perfect. That should say somthing about how this grand fallacy is run.

I have to agree pretty much with nightbreed and meetthecreper... The goverment will protect it personal interest but FUCK the little guy... After the war in Iraq broke out there was a huge thing about a certain someone cleaning up after their daddy..Then it came out from the associated press that "their" family had had bad buisness with Osma "Butt Catcher" something about Texas Power and Oil.. Imagine that.. SO are we loosing American lives over bad buisness and Oil..dont know but then again if we were they would cover it up:rolleyes:

It is quite the contrary. I am having a moral dilema about wether I truly want to help people in the world if no one is ever goin to get along. I want to take the pain away not make. I etiher want go military and I'm already in Protective Services at my High School so I in no way want to hurt anyone.
