Given the situation going on in the States, and UK. Has the
world gotten you down. Are you jaded, by this shallow society ?
It seems that, the main criteria is money. Do you agree ?
Do you dream of the good ol' days, when people had common
sense. And cared about one another, instead of self. Best
answer wins.

kids these days will never know what the good old days were. So much conflict now that it cant ever possibly end untill someone drops a nuclear weapon. Yes the world gets me down and yes money is an issue but i think the biggest issue is power. Give guns to little kids and they will all want the biggest gun. the world sucks. no one has pride in their country these days cause if you fly your country's flag you might offend someone. Freedom of speech? Gone. Freedom of anything much? Gone. The planet we live on is doomed, over populated and dismall. we are all killing it off. I wonder how mang extinct species we have made in the last 500 years? Never mind we will make ourselves extinct someday then no-one will have questions or answers cause the lions and tigers and bears will be back in charge. Im missing the point but thanx for the opportunity to rant on about the whole thing :)

How nice was it to be a child again and things where what the where and nothing else. You where naive and young and thought the world was perfect and everyday you saw your father dressed suit and tie ready for work while you went to school and learned. And as the times past you got older and wiser and realized the world isn't so perfect after all and you started hating things around you and people who where crued. People who are selfish.. Many many times.. And you can't help but think maybe if i do this it'll change at least my community which can then change a city and state and so on and so on... But everywhere you go and everything you do your gonna have people dislike you and dishonor and act like you don't exist and break down your chain because they feel threaten for whatever reason. This world this society is not like it used to be and everyday we lie to our self. Because figure at least i'll be able to sleep and wake up in the morning and start this day all over again.

I think life today is too materialistic, nobody really cares about each other its all money and possessions, as soon as people achieve something (bigger house, car, better job etc) they dont stop to enjoy it they start to crave more and so it carries on. I was a materialistic person until I lost my 17 year old son three years ago and suddenly I realised that possession dont really matter, family and friends are far more precious. Somebody asked me the other day if my sons death still bothered me after 3 years like i should have forgotten him and moved on, I couldnt really believe that she asked me the question and it seems people even see human life as something which you can chuck out with the garbage and replace with another possession. If we all put the effort we use into getting things we dont really need into caring about one another what a better place we woukd have to live in.

Absolutely. Take me back to the 30s or even the late Victorian era. When people cared about each other and families were close. I would have been a gamekeeper in a little cottage and life would have been great.

Life is rather poo.
I hate working hard all week long and ending up with nothing but cold, hard cash.
It's literally depressing to give too much consideration to the reality of today's society.
I think the suicide booths from Futurama are a great idea.

We only have one chance at this life. Happiness can be found anywhere, but we alone are responsible for finding it.
