Why all this ludicrous calls for 'democracy'? Democracy is unsustainable model, a dictate of 51% over 49%. Democracy is the rule of mob (and self-appointed elites behind it). What the world finally needs is rule of law - REPUBLIC and FREE MARKETS damn! We are told every single day by corporate mass media that Western countries are democracies. And they really are - look at the mess around us!

I completely agree that there are too many people. Too many stupid assholes are popping out truck loads of sprogs. I personally have no intention of making any babies.

@PeterSodhi Democracy is boring,anyway everything will end soon

[texasB666]

heres a solution : Abandon all ideologies. Cause they hold us back as human beings. If you'd say "we are not ready for that", than you are contradicting yourself because if you NEED ideologies (institutions, churches, schools, capitalism and wut not) you aren't an independent /evolved /advanced human being. AUCH. Now the government, my ex-teacher or whatever, can suck my balls. i'm gonna smoke indoors now HA!

@igorvasilevsky The 28 Allies and Russia work together as equal partners in the NATO-Russia Council (NRC), which was established in 2002. The NRC provides a framework for consultation on current security issues and practical cooperation in a wide range of areas of common interest. Its agenda builds on the basis for bilateral cooperation that was set out in the 1997 NATO-Russia Founding Act.

@gringodeltoro1 Of course gov won't reform itself. (not in any "good" way anyway).

I watched a few documentaries on election rigging machines etc - Quite good.

"...government works today because people still believe in it...." EXACTLY.

[gringodeltoro1]

@zalida100 I don't think the government will reform itself. I saw a video about a guy who explained how he got pay to create a virus to rig the election machine for the gov (breaking news, I know !!). The government works today because people still bellieve in it. As soon as people unite and stop cooperating, everything will fall. So right now it's the people we need to work on. I don't how long it would take for mankind to realise how they are getting screwed. My hope is with the third world.
