back in the day, when the Iran war started. i was really, really, poor. I was living on bread and butter, literally, and very sensitive to the price of bread. a loaf of bread went from 49 cents to 89 cents to prevent hoarding. i agreed that was good. then they brought down the statue on live TV, every one breathed a sigh of relief, we all were really worried.
when the statue can down, the next day, bread went back to 49 cents a loaf. about half a week later, i noticed a couple of suits standing by the bread rack at the store, wringing their hands, with a gleam in their eye, the next day, bread was 89 cents again, because the store realized people would pay it.
a few years ago, with the oil price hike. the price of everything went up, because oil is our economies life blood. as a result, people drove less, and the demand went down, so did the price. it returned to near what it was before. how ever, the price of every
Obviously balance is the key! Each and every individual has personal responsibility for themselves. This has been lost. Now everybody wants to blame their station in life on some outside influence because they have been disadvantaged somehow. However with that being said, We, humans, do not have all the answers. We must do what we personally can but depend on and rely on God to permanently fix the problems.
This is why the 'model prayer' or the 'Lords prayer' in Matthew chapter 6 is good. Because in it you pray for Gods kingdom to come, for his will to be done on earth. Humans cannot make that happen, that's why we pray for God to make it happen.
So just as any kingdom or government that you support, you live by its 'constitution' or 'rules' or 'code of conduct'. You most certainly don't support any other type of government, otherwise you are called a traitor. Well, the 'constitution'
I don't believe in God. I only believe in Good. I don't believe in the Devil. I only believe in Evil.
To deny ourselves the right to do good because it may disconnect us from the Evil society we live in is a sin in the eyes of the Good. Only the Good people can defeat the Evil people. Only the human will ensure the survival of the future because the human rules the World (Mother Nature rules Earth as she is showing with her attempts to compensate for the actions of humans) It is up to you which side you work hard for. Unfortunately too many Good have been brainwashed into working for the Evil. This has left the rest of the Good on the ropes, poor and disadvantaged, and the Evil running the show with all the status that comes with being The Boss.
Point:
If you are a parent you have limited means of being a guardian for your childrens planet as you are also a guardian of their immediate existence. But if you are not a
Interesting take nix. Here's my take:
I don't believe in god, or any higher power.
Neither do I believe there is any such thing as good or evil. People have good and bad sides.
Further, one person can be seen as a "good person" to some while being seen as a "bad person" to others.
And I don't believe that the 'evil rich people' are running the planet. That argument has always struck me as an indicator of Tall Poppy Syndrome.
As for the environment, never give up hope. I think we're entering a turning point in the Green movement where things will get better quickly. In fact, the environment in the USA in the 21st Century is already better than it was during the 1940s, due to the replanting of forests in the 70s and the movement toward recycling. Further, solar panels are booming in places like California (and here in Australia). We're slowly going to go renewa
man, Canada could run on Hydro Dams, but we'd dehydrate the U.S if we did so. Btw how do you americans like our water?
I'd say things are getting worse environmentally. Sure you've got developed countries like the U.S. and Western Europe making significant emission cuts but then you've got countries like China, India, Brazil, and Russia that are expanding their industries and emissions.
These countries had to react to the might of the US military that has been built on debt and exploitation allowed by a capitalistic society. If they did not become industrialised and capitalistic they would have been swallowed up. Up until then the Chinese worked to the Han philosophy of the father looks after the son until the son can look after the father. A philosophy of natural protection of the future generations.
The Indians were Religious. Again. morals conquered profit at the table of power. Brazil again a strong Religious and family society.
Russia....Dam Russia has learn't alot. It is a mix of many but it got destroyed by the onslaught of The Capitalists.
Capitalists are thinkers. Straight out. They get taught it at the age of two these days. This is what your going to be....Rich and powerful. A soldier is honour and protection. A nurse is compassionate and strong. 95% of the last two are who they are because

Ian, you stole that from face book, or somthing, cause i heard that before lol. Nix, you got WAY to much on your hands, you have wrote more times on this forum in the past couple weeks then i ever had in the last 5 years.
Nix are you referring the Capitalist to the corrupt money changers that Jesus broke up for their desecration of Holy things and thoughtlessness for the souls that are here?
What do you expect when one trades happiness and good for a soulless object?
Sorry tom just trying to help nix get the most post award.
Actually Dud, I watched a documentary in school about America running out of water and needing us to ship it down to them. It's on netflix but I can't remember what it is called.
