I totally agree with you. I've recognized this trend awhile ago. Here's a good link for you that supports what you're saying: foreignpolicy . com / articles / 2010/08/16/ best_decade_ever
i agree that there is quite a bit of reason to be optimistic: thanks for presenting this so clearly! might i propose that you invert your peace sign, changing it from a symbol of despair into a symbol of optimism?
search for a bbc article from 2008 about the history of the peace sign...
Well said home slice.. Im actually reading the Singularity is Near right now. Imagine if all money that funds the worlds religions was spent on science / tech.
peace is coming - 平和が来ている (Heiwa ga kite iru)= (coming peace) when a man finds the star (love) in his heart and puts the spark into that star and lets it Burn brightly he will know Love for others as he knows himself it is only then he will find God.Do not Be deceved by man.seek this truth on your own ask to be shown ask God what is this Love in my heart seek wisdom 1 Corinthians 13 or continue on the wrong path.in the fallen earth that I never loved.This may be your last don't wait, Truth.
There is a wonderful Baha'i document called The Promise of World Peace - available on the internet.
There are a number of issues which need to be addressed and steps which need to be taken for us to be able to achieve peace - this document discusses these.
First you need to find someone who would give money for food,houses,schools and many other things and we all know that people are selfish and it is hard to be generus in this economi and most rich people are selfish becouse they got rich being selfish the only way to achive world peace is to get rich people to give money to the poor and wars start becuose of greed
You keep thinking that, kid. Unfortunately very little of what you blabbed out is true. AND, you forgot to mention one of the two major factors that will finish us off as a species.
Climate change will be increasing in speed and violence just about the time you have picked for world peace.
war can only come to an end if the state comes to an end.
i believe the criminal gangs called states will be overcome within the next 20 years.
but first people have to open their eyes and see that states solve their problems only through violence. not only by war in other countries but by the "executive" in the country itself. you may check the youtube channel "stefbot" for more information.
The first thing to do is realize who is holding the gun in the room. It is apparent to see that the government is holding the gun in the room. If you don't purchase tobacco or an iPhone these companies will not come to your door and stick a gun in your face. However if you ultimately refuse to give half of your income to corrupt politicians (taxation) eventually you will be greeted by armed men in uniform at your door. Statism and religion are mass murdering mechanisms. Freedom is the answer.
@qkholster your totally right, however technology like cellphones are more damaging then good they cause cancer and car accidents. Texting is like a disease of the socially impaired, instead of having real meaningful conversations while having cake and coffee or wtv, people waist their time with stupid insignificant little messages that amount to nothing....
the one good thing about cellphone is to able to be reached at all times but honestly i dont feel more connected to people
@jystyle Hmm, Generalizing much? I only text important things that do not require calling somebody, like "I'm on my way" or "are we still up for tomorrow?". Maybe teenagers do what you are describing. Let's not toss the baby out with the hot water. Text messages allow me to communicate instantly with someone, from any place, and not have to talk on the phone (something I can't stand much of).
@meloearth i am sorry but if you do not understand that cellphones and laptop are only distractions compared to real life socializing. It is too bad, i can't believe you cannot stand talking to real people!!! It is the best thing you can do!!! Even a well composed letter fail miserably in comparison to real conversation.
I am sure u might be successful in school or "work" but if you continue to rely on such technology, you will be disappointed in how you will not understand real people.
@jystyle As if I'm not a "real people" too, eh. Your comment is funny b/c you don't know me and it's totally not applicable. I've only got a cell phone for a year and a 1/2. But yeah, I'm pretty private, and into being alone with my art materials. Is that a crime? I love it, and then I like the company of animals next. Humans are not at the top of my list. But hey, maybe I'm terribly flawed. ;)
@meloearth I agree with you 100% animals and nature are pretty cool and could be an excellent source of inspiration for mind and body expressions.
I am alone all the time also and i have learn to enjoy my own company, However as flaw as people are, they are still the most beautifully flawed beings here. The reason why people seem "flawed" is because most people are inheritors of the pain and ignorance of their parents
To say human are Flawed is to say You are flawed. Trust me you are not!
@jystyle Dear person, let me try to clear this out for you. Is there any piece of equipment that you don't own because you simply don't like it? Or is there anything you own b/c you need, and you use it sparingly? That's what the telephone has been for me. Would it totally blow your mind if I told you that I also don't like TV's, faxes, videogames or a crackberry? WTF is so hard to understand, and why do u keep twisting what I wrote to fit your need to argue this? What do you care, really?

THE BAHA'I FAITH
I am a Baha'i and the Baha'i Faith teaches that world peace is inevitable. However, no timescale for this is given.
Bahá'u'lláh said:
"Ye are the fruits of one tree and the leaves on one branch."
"The well-being of mankind, its peace and security are unattainable unless and until its unity is firmly established."
"Yet so it shall be; these fruitless strifes, these ruinous wars shall pass away, and the `Most Great Peace' shall come."
One God, one religion, one human race.

Unless i am wrong talking on the phone required 2 people, if not please explain why hearing another person's voice tests you patients?
