What would I be labeled as in the realm of politics?

Question

GO BY WHAT I WROTE @ http://www.sorryaboutourpresident.com/ BELOW:

It's sad for me to say, but as of now, i'm not all that proud to be an American... and i'm certainly not proud of our president.

When BUSH was brought into office I was just becoming a teenager (I am 19 now).

I was carefree and innocent, unaffected by the reality of everything that was happening around me. My mind was devoid of the truths of this world and the injustice within it. It wasn't until 9/11 that I began to wake up and notice the world around me.

As I grew older, I realized the true nature of my country and it's president.

Not only my country, but the state of OUR world.

I am one person.

One person in a world of nearly 7 billion (7,000,000,000) living human beings. I didn't choose which country, city or town to be born in, and neither did anyone else.

9/11 was terrible, indeed... but in the grand scheme of things, it was small in scale compared to things America itself had done before. 200,000 people have died as a result of the Hiroshima bombing, though that is besides the point.

The main things that are halting our progress as a civilization right now are:

1. The widespread intolerance of each others religions, and the mixing of these view points into the realm of politics.

2. The boundaries we have set between each other- country borders, religion, race, generalizations and ignorance. No one is worthless, everyone whether they realize it or not, has attributes that allow them to be useful in certain fields.

3. Greed, hate, lack of effort and care.

I think i'm getting a little too passionate with this, i'll just lay down my main concern:

The demand for food on this planet greatly outweighs the supply. We need to figure out ways to up the production of food, and somehow fairly regulate the population of the world...
I'm afraid it's too early for these things... hardly possible now. For this to work, we would need a true sense of worldwide fellowship of which I hope to see within my lifetime.

We need to break our boundaries and realize we are all human... to leave our archaic methods of running this world behind, and move on to much more intelligent and humanitarian based structures.

I know it's far off, but here's a tip of advice for our current world leaders-

The "War on Drugs" is a sad facade for an organized business of many, many greedy individuals.

Summon the courage to make the world a better place. All drugs should be legalized... free will is key.

If one wants to do harm to their own body, let it be done. As long as one does not interfere with the free will of another, then all is fine: that is the way of the future.

The trillions, and trillions of dollars saved from this can be used to begin a TRUE start to the bettering of the lives of unfortunate people around the world.

I have hope for the future, and if you do too, than anything is possible.

Edit: I see many are missing the point, I am not against any people, in fact, I am a humanitarian to the MAX. Therefore, I do not hate america, just it's flawed system of leadership, tbqh.

My main belief is that every human life has as much meaning as another. I have no ties to any one group or thing, and I try to be as unbiased as possible in all sections of my life.

I love all the people of the world unconditionally, and give extra chances.

I never give up.

If you want to go by this in the sense of astrology, well, i'm born on the same day as Jimmy Carter.

I see I was a bit too vague with some of the things I said... in order to make sense of most of these ideas in my head, I would need to write a book.

Answer 1

Sadly, you'd be labeled "unelectable".

Answer 2

You are a thoughtful young person so you deserve a thoughtful answer. Let me start by pointing out some errors in your assumptions.

1) no country on earth is more tolerant of different religions than we are.
2) Boundaries can be good or bad. Without countries having enforced borders there would be no diversity only chaos. Religion or lack of it, race, class are distinctions without a difference. There are good and bad in these groups. Accept the good resist the bad.
3)Greed etc. These are shortcomings people have whether or not governments or countries exist.

Your "demand for food" statement needs attention. This great country is known as the breadbasket of the world. By using our capitalist methodology, we produce more food per acre than anyone else. People go hungry in other countries because of the types of govenments they have.

Drugs? Now this is way wrong. Have you ever seen, first hand, what narcotics can do the life and health of the people addicted to them? If drugs were legalized how could we protect the young from them until they grow wise enough to keep themselves off of them? Will these drugs be produced and distributed for free? If not, how will the drug addicted afford to buy them? Crime? That isn't solving a problem that is shifting it from one hand to the other.

If you produce them and distribute them free of charge who will pay for that? When you end up with many, many unproductive drug addicts who will support them? They can't support themselves. If they decide they want to get off the drugs who will pay to rehabilitate them? How many will have to die lost empty lives before you realize it was a mistake to provide drugs to them?

The problem is you have a grave contridiction in your thinking. On the one hand you want to help your fellow man and on the other you want to provide him the chemicals that will destroy all that is good in his life. Drug addicts do not only destroy their own bodies. They hurt others that love them, they hurt others to get money. They hurt others by their lack of productivity. They have children they cannot take care of, they have contageous diseases they spread. They require medical attention that they cannot pay for. They drive under the influence. Sometimes the drugs can drive them to madness and cause them to murder. There is nothing humanitarian about any that.

What you should be looking at is the model of government we in America have. Plenty of wealth, food etc. There are plenty of countries that have more natural resources than we do. Why are our lives so much better than theirs?

The answer you will eventually be led to is liberty. Free people with a good moral base require very little government. They are free to persue happiness. We create more and more wealth every day. If the worst country on earth adopted our model they would be wealthy in a generation. Look at post WWII Japan. A tiny island country totally decimated by war. They are now a capitalist powerhouse.

Anything is possible. If you want that "anything"t o be positive learn and embrace the American way.

Answer 3

You still have a lot more to learn and most learn to be self efficient.

Nuking Japan saved 100,000's on the US and the Japanese side the Japanese planned mass suicides so the bomb was the correct solution..

In other words the result would have been worse and where are you feelings about Pearl Harbor?

I'd say you might need to re-value your entire value system or find a country that hates the USA and move their.

Answer 4

sigh

This long rambly post is NOT a "question" -- if you want to spout off (which is fine), do it in answers to questions where various things you have to say are relevant.

If you want us to give you a label, then simply state your views and ask -- though why you want that is beyond me.

This "question" violates the Guidelines for use of this site -- ordinarily I'd report it as a non-question, but somehow just couldn't.

I glanced at the link, but couldn't tell who was saying what, so it doesn't tell me what you think.

If you insist on getting a label, there's a web site that has a bunch of questions, and will give you a label, based on your answers.

I'm happy to see your concern for your fellow critters, and agree with much of what you say (didn't read it all, but skimmed some).

So, continue to educate yourself -- read and hear what others say; think, and speak, and write.

And give your time and money to those things that seem worthwhile to you.

Dunno if you're in school, but I highly recommend it. If you have a degree, you can look for jobs where you are contributing to a better world.

(That's what my jobs have been -- in education, as I believe that's our best hope; if we get a generation that can think well, they'll be able to sort things out.)

Feel free to email me (click my image to get to my Profile), to discuss things.

But please don't post long speeches as questions -- you'll just get reported and removed for it.
