Reality and Humanity.. Must read.
Entirely too long has humanity sought out to destroy that which he has created. Generations of war, famine, disease, and so much more.... yet.. What do we have to show for it? Countless homes are one or more persons smaller. It is we who created what we are today. It is we who will destroy that tomorrow. Power hungry nation leaders, behind thousand dollar desks. Picking and choosing where to strike next. Many people claim its terrorists that make this world so unbareable. I say it is everyone's fault.
Look at the moral values of the everyday working person now. So many have lost sight of their families. Many families torn and shattered into pieces all because of greed. Everyone worried how they are going to survive from day to day. People with more money then they know what they could do with spend thousands upon thousands on new carpet or drapes. When people starve to death everyday on our slowly rotting streets. Healthcare systems turning away patients, due to lack of funds and resources. People killing their fellow man everyday for anything from a large sum of money, to a few choice words that should have remained unsaid.
I may not be but 22 this year. But, out of the 22 years that I've breathed this air of pure and utter hatred. I've grown very sick to my stomache to witness what we as a whole have done to this once beautiful planet. Far too long have things which need to be spoken have remained unspoken. Far too many years have these things gone unrecognized and forgotten. How many years does it take for a society to rip itself apart?
Many years have I been taught of the world and my surroundings. I've listened to my friends and family over the years.... even strangers that I just met. Out of these years of living and breathing this existence, I've come to learn one thing....
The one true power that every human being is born with... is free will. The ability to choose to do, whatever it is you want to do. The thing is knowing right from wrong. Thing is, there is just too many people in this world that want something and can't have it.
Sooooo many people have claimed there is no such things as world peace, that it's impossible.... I've heard and learned from the day I was born. Nothing is impossible, just improbable. The problem is that the leaders have grown blind with greed. They desire more power and care nothing of those they have to hurt to get it. Sadly, it will never be a person with passion and compassion for his or her country. Always someone looking to sit in the hot seat and see how much trouble they can cause, or see how much money they can make.
I know a lot of people will tell me that world peace will never happen. Why? Because there are far too many people out there that would rather kill for power then settle for total well being of not only humanity, but for the world over. Think of the possibilities and the profitability from a world united. No longer would countries fight over resources, when they could barter with them. Humanity needs to work together to prolong our existance on this small spec in the universe. There are far more important things to worry about right now.
I don't know about anyone else. But the most important thing in my life, Is my fiancee and the little girl that she carries within her to be born june. Other then those two things. The only thing else that matters is family. Money means nothing when there isn't anything to spend it on.
To the world leaders out there. If you ever happen to read this. Stop and think a minute. What about the people who you swore you would protect? Sending them off to fight some meaningless war is what you would consider protecting them? Think about the families you destroy when you pick up arms. Better yet, ask your self this. Would I want my family to get the call saying I was killed in active duty?
Years have gone by, and each year our freedoms get smaller and smaller. Freedom of speech is almost completely gone. A man can't do hardly anything in this world now with out being smacked down by johnny law. I'm sure I'll get my share of problems from this document. But, so be it. I'd rather rott behind bars with world peace outside, then sleep outside where the stench of greed and hatred consume me. Years have come and gone, yet the rich still help themselves and never those around them. The richer get richer, and the poorer get poorer. Yet the government still does nothing. When they do, it's the little guys that get the penalties.
Take a look around people. Look at the news and the recent events. The crust on the planet is falling apart slowly. The planet is slowly dying and there is no stopping it. We had our chance to fix it back when the timing was early. But now, the damage has been done. When the time comes, what will your money do for you then?

You are welcome, there's an old saying "The truth will set you free!" There's another saying that follows up to that one. "Free your mind, and your ass will follow!"

Coot, I appreciate you coming and giving your thoughts on the situation. As I didnt go into much detail about pearl harbor and all. It wasnt as i was misinformed. It's just the fact there was too much to say. Thank you for saying what needed to be said about it.
Its good to know that there are people out there whos eyes have opened. Its time that we stand up for our freedoms and voice our opinions.

Hi, Max,
I thought you had to be dead to be reincarnated but I could swear that you are a younger me!
I agree with just about all that you have said - especially about the 9/11 fiasco but I must disagree with you about the attack on Pearl Harbour.
This was not a random event created by Japanese Imperial designs.
The attack on Pearl harbour was forced upon Japan by American intransigence in dealing with a power they did not understand, an ancient culture they did not understand an

cheryl, after reading what you have written. i only have 2 things to say.
1. (hug) im sorry that you fought for a country that has no concern of its society or its protectors.
2. Thank you for voicing your opinion about the war. It takes even more balls then me as your a veteran.
Lemme just say that i respect your choices in life, as you rule your own life. Never let anyone tell you different. I respect that you had the courage to say whats on your mind. If only we could get more people to s

I'm a veteran of the armed forces and along with many other veterans who have served their country during wartime and peace I will say that this whole Iraq war is nothing but a big set up based on fear and hatred. Hatred fostered by a knee-jerk reaction to 911. The War on Terror. Somebody please point this nation out to me on a map. Somebody please tell me when the word Sovereign ever meant subject to the rule of another nation. Somebody please tell me when the words defend and uphold has e

Once people see that there are people out there that arent scared to speak up. They will follow. People say nothing because of the FEAR of what their country would do to them.
Its time that society stop being so scared of their government. Speak up and tell people how you feel. Speak up and tell people what we can do to prolong our existence.

We choose the way we deal with it because we feel there is no other way~ Exactly because that is what we are 'programmed' to do.
I will be back later. I have clothes to wash, and a house to clean....and it wont get done with me sitting here. I have been on your article almost all day. And you said no one would listen....;0)

Its one thing for people to read and comment and top.
Its another thing for people to react and voice their opinions. Not just here, but any and everywhere.

We choose the way we deal with it because we feel there is no other way, The government wont listen to what the public wants. They could care less if it doesnt involve money.
Lemme put it this way. Im not mad about the way IM being treated. Im mad about the way that the world is treated. Its not me that i worry about nor care what happens to. It's my family, my friends, and even people i dont know. Its the corrupted that profit and the innocent who bleed for it.

Right.....what can we do about it????? Sit here and complain...and let it eat you up inside?
There is no reason to be mad, you posted an article knowing that you would receive comments. You said it yourself. The government makes us deal with it. No, we choose HOW we deal with it.

I beg to differ, we aren't taught to deal with it. The government makes us deal with it.
Society far outnumbers the leaders and their armies. But yet we are scared to say anything to them. Its time that society stops being scared to say whats on its mind. Far too long has our freedom of speech been tampered with.
Mind you im not mad, im just upset that our government does so much to suppress us.

And war has been around since the beginning of time. Max, can you do something about it? Then do it!! But really, stop letting it control your feelings. Focusing on all of that, you are missing all of the greatness that surrounds you! I focus on things that I can control Me! And when I am in control everything around me that is falling apart doesn't matter. I am not falling apart!
Peace within yourself is the only thing you can control. This world is made up of madness and we are taug

Crackers, im sure they would correct it in a millisecond. If you were risking your life, wouldnt you?
I refuse to risk my life for people that wont do the same. To the people that ARE fighting in the war. You have my sympathy and so does your family. I just wish it didnt have to be this way.
The sad part is after the war. The people that fought it, will NEVER be the same. NEVER.
They could try all they want to try and claim they are, but deep down they know they are broken and shattered within

I cant remember who asked me why i wasn't in the mainstream voicing my opinions on these matters. 2 reasons, no one wants to hear what i have to say, and i have no connections to get there.
Simply put, I'll never be mainstream as I cant afford it due to this great country eating my check up with taxes. If i were to work a straight 80 hour paycheck, i SHOULD make around 800$, but actually after taxes you know i only make about 500$. which would have to pay for gas/food/bills/repairs and such. Pl
