it seems soo illogical???

Question

it seems so illogical
how can it be?.... they put braile on baby changing stations (could be messy to say the least), and drive-through ATMs. we park in driveways and drive in parkways. there are so many people in this world, yet the majority feels alone and abandoned. we have a constitution and a declaration of independence establishing our rights, yet we are not free from our own governments, set to protect us. a government of the people for the people and by the people, but hundreds of laws are passed every day without our knowledge by a select few. a person can blame God for the misery in thier life, yet say they do not believe in a god. ignorance of the law is considered no excuse, yet they do not teach us the laws. in fact, to learn the laws, one must be accepted into law school. we have an internet, available to virtually all of us, and still we have politicians make our choice of president. in the last how many years have we had a president elected from a write-in ballot? Ross Perot, (an oil tycoon), can run for president, on the promise to not even take pay, let alone allow lobbyists to bother him without success. yet two George Bushes, ( not commonly known, father and son oil tycoons,) can be ellected president. the internet is considered a tool, but is more commonly used for entertainment, harrasment, invasion of privacy, and destruction. we have freedom of the press, but the truth is only printed in underground newspapers and magazines and back pages in fine print. we have the right to free speech, yet can be thrown in jail for what we say. we can even be thrown in jail for victimless crimes. there are almost as many laws in this country as there are people. we are taught proper reading and writting in elementary, then taught shorthand in highschool. in schools they tell us that Columbus "discovered America", what of the nomads, vikings, eskimos, and Amerigo Vespucci ( not sure of the spelling)? we are supposed to have separation of church and state, can't pray in school, yet can get credits for attending a mormon church for one hour a day in high school. our government spends hundreds of billions of dollars on wars, and rebuilding the countries they destroy, while we have millions of people living below poverty level. we are offered Social Security that is not considered secure. we pay income tax, then sales tax, inheritance tax, road tax, sin tax, (that is correct, SIN tax), fuel tax, state tax, county tax, and even city taxes ( talk about taxation without representation!!!). the rich can keep getting richer, while the poor keep getting suppressed. if the 2000 richest people in the world, along with our governments, surrendered 60% of thier monies to the public, the middle and lower class people could join the upper class on vacations and owning thier own homes and cars, as well as eliminate all debts from the lower through upper classes , (life liberty and the pursuit of happiness). we go to war over oil, when all of our cars could run on our own waste. our governments start wars over pipelines, then claim we are at war with terrorists, (I have lots of info on this subject). how the hell can this be? it just seems so illogical to me!!! are we blind, or just docile, like cattle? well, you tell me. better yet tell a freind!!! oh yeah, let us not forget, we speak english in america, Hmmm!!!

please rate other's answers. also posted in politics

Answer 1

Some of your points I agree with, while others, I don't. But that doesn't matter. None of what you said matters. (read on, if i haven't offended you enough)

There is always going to be some **** stick stuck in your face, making life miserable. Unfortunately, we can't have everything, we can't get what we want, and life isn't fair. I hate hearing that, too. In the end, though, it's true.

The only thing I've come up with to try to stay sane in all of the b.s. out there, is to find something I'm passionate about, and put some effort into it. It may all be in vain, but at least I'd try.

And when it's all said and done, in a thousand years, none of this will matter.

Answer 2

It is illogical, but it is life. basic values have already been lost. Why ensuring an awesome future for our partner if we can buy an outstanding comfortable world for our sad and poor beings? Why follow rules, if they are meant to be broken? Who cares if I do drive in the parkway, if I can pay the fee?

From my life, here in Argentina, all I may say is that this Little logic, here is somewhat worse. Imagine having three hundred rich people, and 40 millions who live under the line of poverty. having governments, and more governments based on clientalism which keep on leaving our economy, more, and more buried. very sad. Just try to picture how blue and logical seems this Nation.

Some people simply say:
Life is not logical, we are cattle. We may all realize we are been guided by laws "which's" existence we ignore, and still, it would be too much effort to help the situation, if, after all, we are one of the lot ........

SAD, SAD SAD!!!! The world is sick, tiered and unguided, all it takes to bring it back on the right lane is some commitment, responsibility, and wide opened eyes which, now, seem to be as closed as they could be.

AWESOME QUESTION... HOPE YOU LIKE MY ABSTRACT ANSWER!

Answer 3

Why do I get the feeling this was just a major ***** session? I could hardly get through the first twelve lines of badly written literary rantings.

Hun, stay away from anything caffeinated, get a dog, turn your TV off and go for a walk and enjoy the fact that you're breathing.

Life is made of the small moments we can take for our selves and enjoy. Right there, this thing you wrote, well, you're missing the point of living.

Love, learn and let go!

Oh yeah. Check your grammar, for the mercy of us all :)

Answer 4

Ok, I don't think this is much of a philosophy question, i came here to get away from politics. Please do not hate the rich, they should not be forced to give up there money, just because they have so much, most donate to charities, and the rich do pay the most taxes by far. Giving money to the poor, only solves where 95% of them will be getting their next drink. Yes some do deserve money, but how do we determine that? The ones that do deserve the help, usually find it and work themselves out of their hole. http://www.rushlimbaugh.com/home/today.guest.html (scroll to the bottom)

The war in Iraq, is a difficult situation, because we are no longer there to defeat the enemy, which is stupid.

War is not only over oil, but i do understand where you are coming from. The reason it seems so illogical to you is because, right now you are thinking emotionally and not logically. Bless, you, and God be with you in your struggle

Answer 5

You know what's really illogical? People not being able to follow the guidelines, people complaining about others not speaking English not even using it remotely properly himself, and ranting about crap no one gives a care in the world about while ignoring the important Internet rule of KISS.

Answer 6

A Star Trek Quote -- "Whoever said that human beings were logical?"

Answer 7

I'm just curious, who ever told you that the world was supposed to make sense?
If the whole planet worked logically it would be a far less entertaining place.

Answer 8

this is called corruption, all of it. We live in a corrupt world, and there is nothing we can do to change it, because if a couple of people don't want to participate, then nothing can be done.

Answer 9

This happens for the same reason you wrote an excessive, ill punctuated, boorish diatribe.
People are people and will act accordingly.

Answer 10

I hear you, but you wrote too much. I didn't read it all.
Sometiems you wanna pull your hair out with all the BS we're bombarded with.
