what does this have to do with politics? that's what you've made it into. All because they are facts and statistics that you don't want to hear so you call it "propaganda". freedom of speech DOES allow you to disagree with people but you do it in such a way that you are saying, "I'M RIGHT, YOU'RE WRONG". that's ignorance.

I like that the guy is driven, but you need to compare what's happening as a ratio to get a good understanding of he importance of the problem. People don't need to get more stressed...if anything they need to be less stressed!

It's actually both you idiots. The world is shades of gray, not black and fucking white.

Please don't push naive Utopian ideals. Human nature has proven time and time again that Utopian societies, especially one as misguided as the Venus Project, cannot work.

It's clearly someone who doesn't have any kind of educational background. Don't feed that trolls :/
