You are obviously quite young. I don't mean ths disrespectfully, but you exhibit thought patterns that are mostly found in the young. You are very emotional about your ideas and you seem to believe that they naturally follow one another and that to accept one is to accept them all. You also seem to think that people who adopt revolutionary ideas are natural allies. Life would be simpler if that were the case. It unfortunately is not. Both the ultra-conservative religious right and communists are uncomfortable with society as it stands now; Yet, they are far from allies. You also believe that extreme action against an imperfect system will necessarily lead to something better.
On the one hand, you display moral values which encourage me into thinking that you are growing up to be a decent, moral and caring person. It is good that you think of the world around you and that you would like to see it changed for the better. However, I would advise you against rash judgement and to take the time to listen to opinions that are not your own more. I have found that I have learned sometimes a lot more from people whose opinions I completely disagreed with.
As far as a revolution goes, I personally prefer to avoid violence whenever possible and believe that words are the unique dignity of man, while force can be used by any animal on earth. I agree with you that the world is far from perfect. However, I prefer the idea of a series of evolutions to that of a revolution. This requires patience, courage and openness.
Best of luck to you.
Cheers.

You must remember the Golden Rule: those with all the gold make all the rules. If you want a revolution stand up and do something, get a group of like minded people to help in your struggle to right all the world's injustice. Or just get a job and shut up like everyone else. The choice is yours. Nothing easy is ever worth doing.

Easiest question to answer: "Who made money god?" Simple. Money can be freely exchanged for resources, and you need resources to survive(food, water, etc.). Money is merely an agent that aids the flow of resources.
"What right does any human have to judge another?" Who are you to say that humans cannot judge anyone? Humans have been judging things in their environment for all of human existence; it is necessary for survival. In fact, the judging of human behavior is critical to the learning process. Humans judge behaviors and either adopt them or discard them depending on how useful they percieve the behavior to be. A question for you: are you not being judgmental by criticizing the judgmental nature of others?
"Am I stupid to believe there is more than life than power?" No, but try to figure out what life consists of besides power. Try taking up a religion; it will help. One last thing: Never underestimate power.
"Who says that animals are our inferior?" I do. Never underestimate power.
"Is there anyone else that knows there is no such thing as truth?" Truth exists. Even when all your senses fail you, you still exist, and all truth is derived from that. Look up the quote "I think, therefore I am."
"Was I wrong to express my dislike for a croud of commuters response to the information the loud speaker echoed over the train station?"
No. However, remember that empathy is a learned skill at best. You cannot expect people to inherently have it. There are a few factors at work here: Most people were concerned with something else; most of them were frustrated that the train hadn't arrived yet (and never underestimate frustration, either); I doubt any of them knew the person, and people are usually more concerned with what happens to them than what happens to strangers. Quite possibly, someone could respond to your anger with "So what? He's dead. How does this affect me besides the train being delayed?" If you really wish for people to "wake up," you can help by being able to counter that argument logically and calmly.
To be perfectly honest, your "revolution" will lead to nothing but anarchy. Your thoughts are simply too chaotic and not logical enough to produce a stable change. You must produce answers. Inflammatory questions have their use, but no stable change can be built upon them. Instead, work to understand an issue completely. Build a picture of where society should move and why it should move, as well as the benefits it will bring to humanity. While the speed of revolutions is attractive, their unwieldy nature usually forces humans to give in to their evolved instincts, and these instincts will undo your revolution. Instead, work for slow, gradual, and logical change, the kind that inspires people to rise above their evolved instincts.

yes, a revolution is due, but everyone is too obsessed with themselves to realise anything other than the desire for new shoes.
the "truth" supposedly is what everyone else tells you is the real thing, or so they want you to believe. did you see science happen? can you pick up a molecule? have you ever been to space?
the death of thousands of people didn't even open their eyes. all they did was find a scapegoat and point their cellulose fingers, then return to their cell phones to talk about last night's "football" game. time to send more people to kill other people, then get killed.
all these ignorant kids with their name brand clothing and sixty dollar hairdos will someday grow up and realise that they have no clue what is going on outside of their own shells (or what is going on inside of them for that matter) and one of them will be chosen as a leader. will they then ship abercrombie and hot topic to every country in the world to end social deprivation? noone wants to be left out of the cliques! man! that was a punk statement.
what was once rebellion is now fabric, not of society but of cotton. what once was trying to change something terribly wrong with government has now been replaced by wanting to change one's hair colour. what are you standing up for now other than the fact that your girlfriend broke up with you and you want to cry about it to the whole world? oh yeah, that's punk. that's rebellion.
way off subject.
end note: i agree with you.

Any chance you might just mind your own business, stop being so self-righteous, and leave other people to their own values system?
