The state of economy is in such a state is because of us, yes, we caused this as individuals in our own creative ways. We abused the econmy in various ways some by using their job positions like fat cats, some by consuming habbits such as their sealingless wants, needs, desires, selfishness, greed, the love to own and not to let others own, some by their politics at various levels being micro, meso and macro, therefore we need to work together to correct the mess we created in the first place.

I agree. Thank you for the thoughtful comment.

I like to think that if we knew, we would work toward it by now, which tells you we are not yet even close!

then we should work on getting closer to it

Talking about it is always a start! :)

Hoping others will listen..

wow, didn't know there was someone out there thinking pretty much as i do. but waiting for something to happen within the next 50 years is also not the right thing to do, or is it?

like u said, obama can be a hope to change some things, but its still each and every single one of us who gotta work on making the world a better place.

getting rid of ideas like racism, and letting us get ruled by money, we also got to find a way how to convert all of this into something better~ how to do it?

...(continued) So yeah, we can say that world peace is a solution, to dissolve racial, economic,... barriers would be great, but man kind is NOT ready at all to live in an "eden-esque" world. So money is our safety net, something that distracts us from the hopelessness of life. So theoretically, this Earth is doomed and morbidly there is truly nothing that is going to prevent the eventual demise of our systems of life (i.e. Economy). Question are you like a youtube version of a philosopher?

[shakalaka09]

haha, btw... the response to ColonialismIsEvil was entertaining to read. But yes, I completely agree it all comes down money. I believe that money is something that has been created to "Busy" us. When we look at the basic divides in the world, they all lead back to fiscal reasons. But hey, if we didnt have these petty divides (race, status,...) wouldnt life sum up to be meaningless (almost absurd). ... continued in the next comment...

Is China not a first world nation?? Ha, I really loved the part about "90% consumption" .. you must have just pulled that number out of your ass. The simplest solution to the world issues is to simply get along with one another.. your attitude is simply outdated and insulting to the rest of the civilians of this world who only want peace and prosperity for all. Go bark up a tree that wants to hear your faint whimper of racist bullshit, and quit wasting time being full of hate. It is unbecoming.

I have an even better idea than that. How about we take all the racist fucks (this means you) and ship them to Antarctica to fend for themselves and be racist fucks with others who share that ideology. You telling me that Europe is comprised of only 'whitey's'??!! Haha you ignorant piece of shit, not any more!

The only way the world will ever get better is to take people like you who feel oppressed by the 'whitey's' and who have a grudge with the world and take them out back to be shot.
