I can't take this world

So I'm in England. How am I supposed to deal with all the $#%^ we are doing to the people of the world on a daily basis??? I try to tell people but nobody wants to listen...how the hell can we keep on tolerating this government and this system where we are slaughtering people for our own profit and letting millions die to keep our exploitation in place. This country makes me sick I see now that we are no better than any of the savage tribes throughout history and the sad thing is that all the victims and all the people who say they want to make the world better would probably end up being just as bad if they ever got the chance. It's like the whole thing is a sick joke...how can people live with themselves knowing that they have blood on their hands? I guess they don't know, but at the same time they must know deep down which is why they refuse to give anyone who wants to change things a fair hearing.

This world and this country disgust me right now, and I feel that the only way all this injustice will ever end is if we are all just washed away and someone else can start anew. It's a lonely place to be in when you know that everyone around you, and you yourself, are no different to the Germans who tolerated Hitler.

i hear ya but whats up in england thats so bad? r u referring to englands support of the iraq situation? the world is a horrifying place and gets worse every day. more hatred, violence and destruction every day. the world ego has grown out of control. the "i am better than you thus more important thus u must die" mentality is everywhere from punks on the street to presidents of countries around the world. i am embarassed to be an american under our current administration, words cannot describe how pathetic the situation is. anyhow things only get better after reaching a breaking point of utter destruction and pain. similar to one seeking help or self introspection after a breakdown or depression this world will only shift in mentality when we are brought to our knees in utter despair due to widespread destruction. many were brought to their knees after 9/11 but it will take everyone to feel that pain for real change to occur. the direction things are heading i can only foresee complete devestation of the planet within 50-100 years. egos are too skewed, irrational value and beliefs are widespread and hate, anger and the need to kill and conquer is what world leaders and fantanical groups see as just. the planet needs to be flushed out and slowly let life begin to grow again from scratch and forge a new path based upon love, acceptance, peace and understanding.

that is a great point goomba.........i try to simply be pleasant and nice to the people i encounter, especially those whom seem down or unappreciated. if we could all embrace eachother and stop fighting and trying to prove something we would be better off. what is there really to prove anyway? that u r better? more powerful? richer? smarter? i dont get it....i never did......i remember walking the hallways of highschool seeing the other kids running around, acting out, trying to get attention and just perceiving such trivial nonsense as so important and it made me think what on earth is wrong with these people....i actually got it, i was in a sense above it all.....until i too gave in and played the game, bought into the shenaningans and then crumbled in pain and depression which brought me to my knees seeking answers and relief form anywhere possible.......maybe everyone on the planet who is causing problems in society, from criminals to world leaders to punk kids to shady business leaders needs to experience a major clinical depression with a lil ocd and anxiety on the backside to bring them to their knees and discover their personal truth and see whats real and whats not.....then we would all "get it" and understand eachother as people and not as objects to exploit and conquer

you bring up an interesting point tim86, i have sort of the same view, like, well, i'm kinda of and atheist -agnostict-borderlining, haha, get it, hah, nevermind, anyway.....well, my theory is that the whole apacalypse thing is never going to happen and it's all a bunch of #######4. people 100 yrs ago, when things were going wrong, and getting worse with every year, don't you think that they could have thought that the apac. was going to happen? probably, hwat about 100 yrs before that? think about that folks.

I get to feeling down about the world often. What sets me off is reading newspapers and listening to the news a lot.

However, I have to remember that I'mn basically powerless over all that stuff. But, there is a lot that I can do for people in my family, in my neighborhood, in my community. I do a lot of volunteer work. I help out where I can. It makes me feel better. If everyone did a little, the world could be a far better place.

If all you guys walked as much as I do, we would not have to bow down to the countries that have all the oil. Why do we all have to drive our cars for little trips? Why do we have to circle parking lots for a spot next to the door? Why do all the parents have to pick up their kids at school every day, when tax payers like me have provided buses that are mostly empty. Oh, there I go. I better shut up and go help someone.
