What do you think will be the biggest issues our children will have to face?

Question

Is it gay marriage, gun control or terrorism?

Is it environmental issues, dependence on foreign oil, health care and national debt?

How do curb or change current activities to lay a better foundation for their future?

Answer 1

Hatred
Narcissism
Provincialism
Break Down of the tenets of our Country -The Constitution and Bill of Rights.

All other issues fall under these issues

Gay Marriage?
Hatred-Why prohibit others from getting what you have because they are different from you?

Narcissism- Why force your beliefs on others? I've got mine! You can't have it!

Provincialism-Most civilized countries treat same-sex couples the same as heterosexual couples.

Tenets- All men are created equal (And Women!). All men should be treated equally!

Gun Control:

Hatred: People with guns kill people.

Provincialism: Most countries severely limit who can own guns.

Tenets: The Bill of rights gives us the right to bear arms for a militia. This does not give every Joe Schmo the right to carry guns.

Terrorism:

Hatred: Much terrorism is due to peoples hatred of each other and....

Provincialism and Narcissism: Trying to force our beliefs and type of government on others. Many terrorists sprout from a country's citizens lashing out at us for forcing our beliefs and ideals on them, Who says we are the ones that are right?

Environmental Issues:

Narcissism and Provincialism- We are more civilized and need power. The only reason there is a problem is because places like China are developing and need progressively more power. It does not matter if we pollute the air, it is beside the point that everyone else need to breath that same air.

Dependence on Foreign Oil:

Narcissism- Our companies are making money off the oil. We have relationships with the Saudis to give us the oil at a price we will profit greatly from. We cannot change things as our donors (To the politicians) will lose money.

Health Care:

Narcissism- I am covered who cares about the others! No one sees a problem until they are cut off by the insurance company practicing medicine.

National Debt:


Narcissism: Who cares about the debt? As long as we have low taxes and we do not have to go fight or ot does not affect our lives. What people do not realize is that the National Debt is a tax! Just one our children and grandchildren will pay. What is more it affects the security of our country. China owns most the notes. If they want to bankrupt us the can.

The only way we can make it better for our children is to educate them. Teach them to learn about other countries and their people. Teach them tolerance and charity for their fellow man. Teach them to learn by doing their own fact-finding. NOT TO TAKE THE WORD OF A TALKING HEAD HATE MONGER.

Teach them to follow the "Golden" rule. Do unto others as you would have them do unto you!

Teach them to be nonjudgmental. Rather than judging people, find out about them personally and never judge a person for what they are, rather judge them for who they are.

Love and respect the land and your neighbor.

Sound a lot like religion? In fact it is but too many Americans threw out what they knew was right for what they knew was wrong in the name of terrorism. Time to get back the reputation we once had. To do so we must fix all the problems by working together not listening to hate mongers and not caring about the rest of the world.

Answer 2

gay marriage will cause more gun control laws.. leading to all guns being confiscated.. which means the terrorists have already won.

ok ok.. I'm just joking (in a bit of an odd mood.. sleep deprivation and all)... it may not be the most pressing issue in and off itself, but it has so much attached to it that I'm going to go with dependency on foreign oil

break our dependency and the level of terrorism falls, most likely we'll also start working on alternative energies more seriously as a result.. helping the environmental issues.. and finding/using energy sources from America and investment in that will help lower the national debt.

Answer 3

I remember a generation ago Libs used to argue that "this generation will be the first in America's history that is worse off than it's parents" - - - actually it wouldn't have been, since that was true of the generation that came of age in the 1970s.

But that generation and the one they were talking about are now both much better off than their predecessors because economic policy took a major shift in 1981.

The biggest issues our children will have to face will be economic if we go back to Keynesianism with its high taxes and dependency on Fed inflation to support growth, or will be something other than the economy if we maintain neo-classical economic policies.

Uh, Master Fufu, WTF are you TALKING about "no jobs" - unemployment is 4.5%!!!! Incomes are rising!!!

Answer 4

Paying off the debt being created by "drunken sailor" spending like that we have seen under the current Administration. The solutions: elect TRUE Conservatives, stop engaging in foreign misadventures, rebuild our manufacturing base, reverse illegal immigration, institute a rational health care system, enforce anti-trust laws, penalize corporations that move their addresses offshore to avoid taxes and/or engage in "outsourcing," etc.
