I'm 14 (technically not a child, though still young I admit), and there are a lot of things in the world I'm not happy with. But mentioning "the world would be better if"s obviously seems naive to some people. These people would roll their eyes at me and murmur something offensive under their breath (pretending that I can't hear) at the mere mention of "can't we find a better way to solve problems than attacking each other?".

Yes, children everywhere probably wish there was no such thing as war. But aren't these children our future? Can't these children some day find a civilized way of solving issues (as opposed to chucking bombs at each other)? Following this logic, shouldn't people (especially young people) be encouraged to think of the world this way? Or is there something that I'm missing?

I am proud of any child who wants the world to change for the benefit of the all. Does that make me naive?

Hello,

People it kinda saddens me when i see countless people follow like lambs to the slaughter, trying to be part of the "MAINSTREAM" crowd why is this, can't they just be unique and special like they were intended and be their own person?

Cheers!!
Any opinions appreciated!!

I mean, think! Arrows, bows powerful enough to kill an animal (even though we'll be shooting at foam ones), woods, DARK! Just a couple of teeny flashlights.... Can you believe this is legal? Whee! No, we won't be the only ones there....it's a competition.
Wish me luck, too! I really want to win something!

Ok. This is about the use of the word "sweet." I honestly think that me and my friends thought of it, and I need some honest feedback. I am all for being proven wrong, so hear me out, and then let me know honestly what you think. This would probably be around 1996, but me friends used to play this really old crappy game where you actually make a salad!(how retartded!). and one of the really obnoxious sayings in that game was "you're making a SWEET salad!"(this was if you were adding fruits, etc)..when it would say sweet, it would be really high pitched, and we hated it, so we started saying everything was "sweet." this was back in 1996. we basically loved being retarted, we didn't care what people thought of us, and honestly, we had so many people make fun of us. i used to say it so much, that i remember this one girl would make fun of me all the time. And now, its like a common saying. I had never heard of it being said before then, and im really curious what people think.

Also, why is it that Muslims have a problem everywhere, what is that makes them not get along well with the non-Muslims around them?

Why are they always whining about injustices heaped onto their community, when in fact non-Muslims have also been victims of injustice since earlier times?

And, as someone said:The problems with Muslims is that wherever they are in a minority, they talk about democartic rights, and wherever they are in a majority they fight for theocracy.. why is that?

Why are the regions with substantial Muslim populations all over the world, center of unrest.. be it Middle East, Russia, India, Europe, Philipines, Thailand, Pakistan, Africa etc.?

Moreover, why don't they want to change with the times and join the rest of humanity in making this planet a better place to live... why is it they still want to live in the past and not place emphasis on current issues like education, family planning, environment and rest of the sundry stuff?
