I would like to know.. how many of you living in the UK think we are a corrupt nation?

Question

If you have experience of corruption on a small or large scale.. and OBVIOUSLY.. not proven because some people are good at covering tracks. Do you think we are getting worse or is life here in the UK getting better? What country can you think of is corruption free.......... mad init' cos I CANNOT think of one. I have first hand experience of lies. Anyone else there.. don't mention what it is.. but i'd like to know numbers really.. any friends or family acquaintances.. etc.

Answer 1

Pride yourselves on one thing, your leaders are probably not as corrupt as the leaders here in the US.

Answer 2

corruption is proportional to power, ie to overpower relative to others

money = power -

no money, no power -

more money than others, more power than others

history has rarely if ever seen overpower without exploitation, thieving, taking advantage

who has the gold makes the rules

measure injustice and you measure corruption

there is no science of justice, of measuring justice in pay, although justice is essential for happiness

injustice produces resentment produces violence produces unhappiness

justice is equal pay for equal work

we have pay from $1 to $1 billion a fortnight's work

ie, super extreme injustice, super extreme unhappiness

the good news is that we can therefore be super extremely happier

1% get 90% of world income - US$70 TRILLION a year - obviously not doing 90% of the work - doing less than 1% of the work

99% getting less than 10% of world income - doing more than 99% of the work

ie, extreme injustice/corruption/theft/violence

the bad news is that we have had this for 1000s of years, growing injustice/inequality/violence/corruption

more bad news is that violence is escalative, [even when injustice isnt growing, which it is] as both sides try to win

more bad news is e=mc2, meaning that we can now put up enough smoke to block out the sun permanently, triple iceage, everything frozen [including the seas] - we have jumped in 50 years from being powerful enough to rase a city to being powerful enough to kill the whole planet dead

more bad news: people are very unconscious

the good news is that all we need to do is convince 99% of people to be better paid, including 90% of people to be 10 to 1000 times better paid [because they are now paid 10th to 1000th of world average hourly pay]

more good news is that this average is based on including paying homemakers and tertiary students [who also work]

this average is higher than the pay of 99% of people

this average is US$15 an hour [2006, doubling every 12 years or so with global inflation] - and US$75,000 per family working average hard

and we will therefore have a huge majority to pass laws to:

limit fortunes to the just maximum, earnable, by making money by work, not by raking money by all the wideopen legal methods of raking money, [US$2 million] and

spread the overfortunes equally, directly, electronically, fully, immediately, to every person on earth [into one account per person of course, everyone to open accounts of course]

[govts to pay transfer costs - govts benefit by the money inpour]

[spread equally to everyone, overpaid and underpaid, because it is much much cheaper than having a giant [and corruptible] bureaucracy deciding who shall receive - and anyway, 99% are underpaid, and the overpaid are being whittled anyway]

more good news: everyone in the planet will learn of the plan in just 31 times the time to tell [and properly teach, so that they understand the essential importance of passing it on to two] two people

more good news: everyone in the world already agrees with the plan, that it will work and avoid ww3 and extinction and bring 100-fold happiness to all

proof: everyone will readily agree that everyone will readily agree that, if a govt were to commit the injustice of taking 90% of income permanently off 90% of people and giving to 1%, that would cause enormous violence, tremendous problems, and diminish happiness 100-fold

that is only 91,000% injustice

we have 100,000,000,000% injustice - ie the ratio of highest to lowest pay for equal work is equal to one billion, or 100 billion%

ie, bill gates, increase of fortune 1997: US$18 billion - in 2006 dollars, US$27 billion, ie, over one billion per fortnight

per capita AVERAGE annual income, burundi, under $100, ie, $4 a fortnight - in all countries, most people [like, 99%] are under the average -

wages of automechanic in cuba, $3 a month, ie, $1.50 a fortnight - automechanic would not be the lowest paid

the UK/british empire, among others, has been plundering the world for centuries - until the huge costs of defending themselves against the huge numbers of plundered put the UK out of business, exhausted the plunder

is the UK corrupt? britons have been slaves for centuries - anyone is a slave who is underpaid and others are overpaid, ie, privileged, ie, more equal than others

can britons wake up, face it? can they act to save themselves from extinction? can they get real?

observe yourself after you read this - do you start being real? do you wake up? do you start doing something practical, realistic? do you face any facts? do you shake off any hurt pride and begin to strive to get real, wake up, smell the corruption, the waste, the senselessness, the misery, the torture, the terror, the cost, the uranium?

Answer 3

i don't.
