What is wrong with society today?

[StoPCampinGn00b]

Give it your best shot.

and I think humanity itself...

 

[Awsan]

I think greed and laziness (which is actually greed too, NOT wanting something...) are the greatest problems in society.

Capitalism. Too many rich and poor people. We need to share the money more! I recommend higher taxes for richer people and especially companies. Also we should isolate countries like Luxemburg which have too small taxes and where people put their money. And maybe there should be some kind of limit how much you can actually own and rest of the money goes to the government.

a combination of freedom and technology, which allow more people to complain about things more easily

for example, had you asked 'what is wrong with society today' in nazi germany, u wudve been 'given a shot'

 

[gorillabull]

what on earth would make u think there is something wrong with society ?

I mostly agree, but I don't understand the limit thing. If you've earned your money, and you pay all your taxes (which should be higher), then you should be allowed to keep the rest

If you own more than another whole country that's just wrong.

EDIT: And that idea just popped to my mind.

 

[saphiree]

Just remember. It would be impossible for the entire population of earth to live like we do in the western world.

 

[Aeroblyctos]

Why impossible?

 

[saphiree]

We use too many resources. Even something like food would be a problem. Actually, we're running low on resources as it is, and if everyone wanted to have the same luxuries we have we would diminish these resources fast.

 

[Awsan]

maybe there are just too many people on the damn planet.

 

[nhs325]

People in the big cities don't care about eachother anymore.
Also, money is everything, and the society do anything to get it, even the most inhuman act.

We have enough space on earth to give everyone food, there is no need to have thousands of people starving to death. ^^

http://overpopulationisamyth.com/food-theres-lots-it#header-3
"Both of the world's leading authorities on food distribution (the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization [FAO] and the World Food Programme [WFP]) are very clear: there is more than enough food for everyone on the planet. The FAO neatly summarizes the problem of starvation, saying that "the world currently produces enough food for everybody, but many people do not have access to it." Food is a lot like money: just because some people have none doesn't mean that there isn't enough of it--it's just spread unevenly."

But yes, I agree that we should reduce the amount of resources we use, we the people at the top, not the poor folks at the bottom scraping for food.

Stupidity, ignorance and not knowing who the enemy is.
There is no freedom and there never was in this new age.
People are careless, look for money they don't need and pay for their souls when they don't even know Satan exists.

Thus they are not able to fight against the enemy as they don't believe it exists.
This makes them unhappy because it makes them feel it's all their fault.

Too less confidence for those who are nice and too much confidence of those who are greedy, lustful and insane.

Too less people who actually give a damn about doing things the right way, not the easy way.

Too much people wasting their life trying to have fun, as they don't know the soul and the body are connected, but the soul persists after death.

So too much fear from big companies that promote war, criminals and such to get money and power.

Too much control and too less people who care about data privacy, as they are trying to get any of the attention back their parents didn't give to them because they have to get the money for the home they don't really need.

Pick any combinations of the reasons above.

 

[saphiree]

Well, I don't believe in souls, and life really is about having fun, and not regretting something you didn't do at the end.

 

[Anachron]

The soul is feeded with experience by it's link, the human body.
Therefor, the human body is only there to mature the soul by experience.

I didn't say you shouldn't have fun, but there are other ways of knowing what you truly want rather than just doing everything that gets on your mind.

I was birthed on this planet to bring peace and happiness, and I will keep looking for it (or, in other words, Jesus, who is the real peacebringer) until I find it.

You can distract yourself with other stuff, like movies, pc games, music, mass media, tv, books or anything really, or just look for something that truly makes you human and doesn't need to be replaced by something better.

I wish you the best, may Jesus bless you.

So people are are stupid ignorant slaves because they "don't know who the enemy is", which is apparently Satan? lol

Thus they are not able to fight against the enemy as they don't believe it exists.

Nice generalization, it must be true for all of humanity.

as they are trying to get any of the attention back their parents didn't give to them because they have to get the money for the home they don't really need.

wat

Too much people wasting their life trying to have fun, as they don't know the soul and the body are connected, but the soul persists after death.

Wasting your life having fun?

The fuck else are you supposed to do with your life.

Also, what does enjoying your life have to do with your "soul" being connected to you.

You're just stating wacky things and expecting it to be common knowledge or something lol

Fascinating, when did scientists discover this??

You're looking for jesus? Is that supposed to be like looking for bigfoot?

Sorry Anachron, I just had to reply to these crazy posts

 

[saphiree]

I don't think it helps to discuss this with him. I can feel this thread going off-topic already

 

[Anachron]

Yup.

Nice generalization, it must be true for all of humanity.

Nope, but for the majority.

wat

What's unclear about it?

Wasting your life having fun?

The fuck else are you supposed to do with your life.

I just told you. To learn and to learn from your time being here.
If you live your life by having fun only you don't need to follow any rules.
That is the teaching of Satan who will make you believe that there is no God, thus you are free to do whatever you want.

Becoming wise and faithful should be on your todo-list, not bungeejumping and whatever.

Also, what does enjoying your life have to do with your "soul" being connected to you.

If you are wasting the time of your body to only pleasure the body, not the soul, how is your life gonna be worth anything after your body dies?

You're just stating wacky things and expecting it to be common knowledge or something lol

I'm telling you what I know and what I experienced.

Fascinating, when did scientists discover this??

I did discover this, I have no idea about the public or anything else. And I don't care.

You're looking for jesus? Is that supposed to be like looking for bigfoot?

How is this not offtopic?

Sorry Anachron, I just had to reply to these crazy posts

I'm fine with any replies, but I don't like that you become a troll like many others. Why not just be serious and try to understand me instead of wasting your time trying to make fun of me?

 

[TriggerHappy]

Nope, but for the majority.

Really. How big was your case study?

What's unclear about it?

That sentence was word vomit I couldn't interpret it

I never said only having fun.

Listen, you're not going to learn much of anything by sitting in a dungeon fearing "Satan" and the Illuminati, lol. You're definitely not going to be wise that way, you need life experience.

Also what does having fun have to do with following rules? What rules are we talking about here? The bible or something? Is that what you meant by faithful?

So basically in your eyes whoever doesn't have the same beliefs as you is doomed (not to mention "stupid" and "ignorant") because they are unaware of Satan? And are having too much fun?

I'd say one thing that's wrong with society are insane ideologies like this.

If you are wasting the time of your body to only pleasure the body, not the soul

What's your definition of "soul"

how is your life gonna be worth anything after your body dies?

Your life isn't worth much once your dead lol. I assume you meant "soul"?

I'm fine with any replies, but I don't like that you become a troll like many others. Why not just be serious and try to understand me instead of wasting your time trying to make fun of me?

Oh, I'm not trolling. Just merely pointing out this craziness and I'm curious what you have to say

I know I'm not gonna change your mind or anything and it's not my goal either.

._. Proposals?

 

[Anachron]

Actually, THIS THREAD is a perfect example what's wrong with society.
I told everyone my opinion and they tell me I am stupid to believe in such things.
Where is the freedom of thinking and believing? Doesn't it exist anymore?

I don't get why you guys are talking bad about something that you didn't experience or know. "But you know it?" Yes I do. "That's ignorant!" No it's not.

Why not just try to understand me and talk about which opinions you share?
That's the right way to do a discussion, isn't it?

If I don't agree with you that doesn't mean there's no freedom. Actually that is definitely freedom when we have different opinions and we can express them.

 

[Adiktuz]

Expressing each other's opinion is freedom...

People telling you that ur stupid thinking about something, is their freedom...

You choosing to still believe that something, is your freedom...

 

[The_Taxidermist]

Perhaps civilisation finally peaked when they cancelled the doritos 3D makes u think...

 

[Edhel-dur]

No actually the answer would be "socialism, capitalism and jews".

[Adiktuz]

the more you have, the more you realize how much more there is to have...

just like knowledge,

the more knowledge you get, the more you learn how little you actually know

innocence is sometimes really a bliss...

 

[Linaze]

Liberalism.

There's a clear difference between classic liberalism and the modern ditto. I agree of course that the modern liberals are nothing but fanatic globalists who dream of the resoution of the national states, nuclear families, traditional values etc.

But if you look at some 19th century (and earlier) liberals for instance they're much more conservative and pragmatic than their modern counterparts. Look at the founding fathers of the US for example, and see how liberalism can sort of be a force of good.

Please keep the preaching to yourself, if you want to preach your religion you can do so where appropriate.

Liberalism.

I see liberty and equality aren't important to you.

I think the world is a pretty damn fine place actually. If you look at the past of the human race, I'd say we're doing pretty fucking good

Took me some time to realise this, but I think it's true. At least for most of the western world

Old-school liberalism might be much more conservative, but they still oppose the moral principles on which earlier forms of leadership (such as monarchism) were based. They are simply more conservative, because the people partaking in liberal movements back then came from a different world order.... one liberalism and its spread around the world slowly dissolved and replaced with not only a different political system, but a different general mindset as well. The key, harmful concept of liberalism, one that relies on the illusion of freedom and equality never has changed.

I see liberty and equality aren't important to you.

What liberty and equality?

These are the two worlds that kept the general populace of the world in ignorance and submission for the last two centuries.

There never has been and never will be liberty. The term "liberty" is something that is impossible to manifest, given that there is always someone in control of a human society, always someone telling you what to do, and always someone who relies on your help or vica versa. Humans are created to be interdependent, not independent. Being independent means that you stop caring for your society, people who might want to rely on you, natural things like family and relatives and it is exactly what makes you act greedy and selfish, something that is not meant to exist in a balanced human society if we want it to function properly.

Equality? How do you intend to make a banana and an apple equal? Okay, they might both be fruits, just like how a veteran marine and a muslim imam might both be humans, but since they are both very much different, they all have different physical and mental abilities, skills and knowledge, they each have their own ways of benefiting society.

Liberty and equality do not exist. They DO NOT NEED TO exist, since humans are societal creatures. The "freedom and equality" liberalism preaches about is merely an illusion to give the stupid cattle well sounding words to base their silly revolutions on. Revolutions which all end up steering the new "republic" under one banner, the banner of a malicious globalist slavery and instinct-driven individualism breaking down well-functioning human collectives.

And that's a good or bad thing?

 

[Heinvers]

We're commenting here about society not politics. Anyway I'd say too much ignorance and less intelligence. Although the banking companies have their hand in this heavily. Mainly financial interests. Always isn't it?

 

[StoPCampinGn00b]

And that's a good or bad thing?

I just want to hear what people think about society and if there is anything specifically wrong. It's not good or bad.

 

[Zombie]

It is (was) a political discussion because societal deterioration is mostly created and influenced by the society's leaders, which are politicians.

 

[StoPCampinGn00b]

Makes sense, yes. I'm split thinking there is no wrong or right, or if there is actually something wrong with society.

 

[Nuclear]

Obviously there's always something wrong. If there wasn't anything wrong, there wouldn't be poverty, exploitation of third world countries, homelessness, legal bribing of politicians etc.

 

[istvan921]

Well my opinion is that today's society is pretty much fucked up beyond any hope of repairs.
