l0rd Posted January 22, 2007 Share Posted January 22, 2007 The world at the moment is probably at an all time low(IMO). Humans, for the most part have caused this, through indirect and direct forms of destruction. Many people dream of changing the world, by inventing, saying, writing, discovering, or doing something else that could alter the human culture, and possible change the world. ......People have done it, can you? If so, what? As for me, I'll have to answer this question is a bit, I'm still thinking.

l0rd Posted January 22, 2007 Author Share Posted January 22, 2007 IMO: Peace is not reachable by humans fully. and to even partially reach a stake of peace, humans must have a "set path" to follow to keep peaceful, kinda like comunism. In the most part i think Peace is just to hard for our little brains to handle. :( [iNSERT "I R EATIN TEH SHIX ATM" BILL COSBY SIGNATURE GIF HERE, LOL] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timmay929 Posted January 22, 2007 Share Posted January 22, 2007 I don't think that the world is anywhere near an all time low. It's not that bad except for the situation in Iraq. 1920's to 1940's was the worst IMO. WWI, WWII, Great Depression. A lot worse than it is now. 122 Combat : 99 Hits : 99 Attack : 99 Strength97/99 Defence : 99 Fletching : 99 Woodcutting Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jackalope14 Posted January 22, 2007 Share Posted January 22, 2007 I dont know.

rushrock Posted January 22, 2007 Share Posted January 22, 2007 I think the world needs to stop all wars and start living in peace. That's much easier said than done, but you're right, we all need to lay off the violence for problem solving. Just look at the Middle East...

Obsessive_Passion Posted January 22, 2007 Share Posted January 22, 2007 What is, changing the world? Is it the global world, domestic world or our own personal world? But I agree with you, l0rd, with your previous post. Social unrest / conflict is largely caused through conflicting ideologies, ideas. But our ethnic, cultural and religious diversity is what identifies us as humans, to some extent. If we all followed the same singular 'set path', as you said, it would remove diversity but encourage peace... Maybe. I don't think the 'world' will ever be at peace, because our diversity denies that, I think. Now I'm confused. EDIT: How can I change the world? Let's see. Use more public transport. Install a domestic rainwater-tank to ease the pressure of the dam, which is nearly at 30% of its capacity. By accepting others opinions, and being constructive in mycriticism - essentially, respect others for being different, there's no need to place a definitive value on different religions, cultures, etc., in being 'the best' or 'the worst'.

warri0r45 Posted January 23, 2007 Share Posted January 23, 2007 Why is the world in such a shambles at the moment? one word; greed. People always want more and are never satisfied. More money More power More knowlege (and the subsequent debate about the origins of existance) More control More democracy More capitalism More freedom (the search for freedom can be flawed. Try too hard and you end up killing people for your own gain) As Bob Marley once said - Emancipate yourself from mental slavery, None but ourselves can free our minds. In other words, be content with what you have and you wont end up as another greedy CEO of X-company and a subsequent cancer on the world. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
malo2 Posted January 23, 2007 Share Posted January 23, 2007 all time low? the world is at its best ever. Sure there are the few crazy people like the terrorists, and some child molesters, ect... but this has been around forever, most other bad parts about the world are long gone, it looking much better than it did about 50 years ago, ALOT better. I think you're just spoiled by the good life you're living. We cant make the world perfect, but we can make it better, and were doing a hell of a good job. you as a single person, you can start by looking at and criticizing yourself before you do so to others, if people can manage something so simple, then well have alot less conflicts.

Grim_Jokes Posted January 23, 2007 Share Posted January 23, 2007 I disagree. Greed is not necessarily bad. After all, it's greed that brought us many invention. World peace will never happen until people realize that we're all the same race regardless of skin colour. A few genetic diffrences but that's nothing worth categorizing people over.

Greed means people live in rediculosly lavish houses with many cars, boats and in some cases helecopters and planes while children in africa, india, cambodia and other places around the world starve. That just dosen't sit right with me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That just dosen't sit right with me. Greed is human nature. Nothing can change that. The problem is that we utilized it wrong thus the people in their lavish homes. Those who used it properly invented stuff for us. But so what if a person lives with a helicopter/car in a mansion? If he earned the money, what right do we have to tell the person to sell them and help the children in Africa? That's too much like communism.

insane Posted January 23, 2007 Share Posted January 23, 2007 Those who used it properly invented stuff for us. So inventions came from greed? I don't think so. Inventions came from intellect and a desire to learn about the world. Obviously money was an aftereffect but if it was just greed fueling our actions we wouldn't invent stuff, we would rob others.

Greed plays a part in every action of our lives. Whether it is to invent or to rob. And why is robbing greedy if you're stealing to provide some form of comfort to your family because you're being screwed over by someone?

Obsessive_Passion Posted January 23, 2007 Share Posted January 23, 2007 Without greed, many countries would not have been discovered and colonised. Ok, so let's bring wealth into this. What if they worked hard to earn it? What if you're the true embodiment of a capitalist who has worked your own way up the social ladder? What about people like Oprah who have also helped the poor?

That just dosen't sit right with me. If starving people in africa and asia are going to be saved, their whole government needs to be rebuilt. Right now, many celeberties and donors are just throwing money at the problem, and buying those people more time. The whole economy and government needs to be changed, so the countries can at least start to support themselves halfway. Like I said, were just buying 10 years longer for a family. Not a bad thing, but another family doesnt receive the same benefits, and eventually, people are going to stop donating as greed slowly takes over. Ofcourse, revamping all their governments will take a lot of money and violence. Dictators' wont be so willing to abandon their power. And, if we attempted to start changing their governments, we would just be in a tangle like the situation in Iraq; we would most likely be critized and chastized like we are now. And last but not least, its much easier said then done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bloodredsword Posted January 23, 2007 Share Posted January 23, 2007 1920's to 1940's was the worst IMO. WWI, WWII, Great Depression. A lot worse than it is now. +1 agreed Even if their are fewer things going on now..alot of those things are very serious (Nuke factor, war in iraq) I think the Nuclear weapons factor is the scariest. If a nuclear war starts...well..I'm not even going to say :notalk: Listen to the mighty words of Bloodredsword. Tip it MGC Xbox live leader board!

crimsonking Posted January 23, 2007 Share Posted January 23, 2007 Really the only 2 things that could make the world perfect is to stop all violence, or to annihilate the human race, and right now I'm leaning towards the latter of the 2 since the first isn't exactly possible. ~^v^~Ex-Leader of the Divine Flames of Redemption~^v^~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Viktorkrum77 Posted January 23, 2007 Share Posted January 23, 2007 If a person worked hard for his money; he deserves to keep every cent of it and not be told what to do with it. Amen to that. Though I agree you should probably use some of your power and money to do something good in the world, like Oprah has done on countless occasions. Me doing staff.

dusqi Posted January 23, 2007 Share Posted January 23, 2007 My ideal is to become rich and become a philanthropist. One plan is to set up more prizes for outstanding advances in science. In the long term, I think that education is necessary, so that we can identify and understand our own greedy, vengeful, stereotyping human nature and then work on overcoming it. How we will do that? I don't know. For it is the greyness of dusk that reigns.The time when the living and the dead exist as one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They deserve what they get, and can use it as they wish but if I were rich, I would feel guilty if I don't at least try to help someone out. It's almost a duty of rich people in my eyes. A lot of good philanthropists are rich, but then again, alot are poor, because the poor know what it's like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
