All living creatures wear the world out.
Not just humans. Certainly our society takes
takes a lot, but humans are also the only species
that altruistically helps the other species to survive
hardship they encounter.

Well, I disagree with the-burden. Humans may be what's destroying this world, but we can save it too. It's called sustainable development. We just need to take stronger steps for it, ssteps that honestly make a difference.

There are times when you will miss what you never had. I wonder how you will find what you so desperately need.

I think earth should just become another gas planet, none inhabititable then we would have none of this to worry about because we would all be dead.

Dude, even if I agreed with your euthansia idea - which I don't agree with - you are suggesting the death of so many innocent animals. That is not acceptable.
And whom is your plan supposed to help? The planet? Animals? Or yourself?

It would'nt matter in the end we would all be dead no worries, no oh but is this right or is this wrong, your questions will be irrelivant because you would be dead. Unless your religious believing that your going to go to hell for comitting suicide. Don't worry we will put a man who is on death row who is going to go to hell anyway on the trigger so in theory it is not your fault the whole of humanity is is going to die.

Also inocense will be remained as a life would not of gone on to cause any bad acts being children animals just everything. It does not matter if it is grim the truth of the matter is we can't save the world only change it there will always be war and corruption no matter what generation you are in. if you truly want to so called save the world then kill everything living and just have basic particals floating around on earth. 😀

Well, I do not believe in God. I do not need some all-knowing being to judge me - I am my own judge. If there is a hope of a chance of a possibility of a solution that saves lives and the planet, is that not preferrable to just giving up? No God judges you - can you look yourself in the eye and say "I give up. I do not have the strength to go on. I accept defeat." and still be proud of being yourself? I can't.

Edit: If God exists, and he watches while thousands die every day for nothing, and many more die in accidents like 9/11, 26/11, the two tsunamis, so many earthquakes and cyclones, in foolish wars, for any other useless reason, he/she does not desrve my loyalty and belief. If he cannot do anything to save innocent lives, he may as well not exist.

You have to decide and you have two options:

• Bad people aren't majority.
• This topic is crap.

Everyone here seems to agree that the world is not okay and shit, so we can assume that everyone here cares about it and by definition aren't bad people, they may have flaws, but they are not bad.
If after seeing the topic and you still think bad is majority then you also think that we are all hypocrites and we don't really care, what makes posting here unuseful.

I believe good people are majority. Every monday I, with my parents help, donate 100R$(around 60 us dollars) to and ONG made for homeless people and every monday I stay awake until 2:00 am helping these people in everything they need, taking bath, serving them food, singing, telling stories for them to sleep. With me there are around 100 people, everyone "workin" in different days, helping 50 homeless persons. With our donations(around 6000US dollars) we help the ong to buy them dinner and pay what we call technical school for them. Since I started we helped 20 or so people to get out of the streets, all of them employed.

But what really makes me think good persons are the majority? Every one of these 20 or so ex-homeless persons are donators and helpers at the ONG. Together It's possible to change

What is wrong with the world? People that don't believe it's possible.

At the end of the day mate I could not care less I sit here in England with a democracy so people like you can argue amongst yourselves about what is best for everyone else. Let's all just sit down watch some thundercats with dorito's and kettle chips and chill the fuck out. Let's not worry about the starving africans and the corrupt north koreans and the drowning japanese with there crappy placed nuclear power plants and the growth of the chinese econemy and the potential bombing from the Russians on the US.

Didn't know about that one.
I agree, let's let it be 🙂

If we didn't die, it would be total anarchy. Imagine if everyone who was ever born was still alive. We already have an over-crowding problem. There just isn't enough room. Besides, how would we eat if things don't die? Plants, animals, they're alive too. We kill them to eat. A life of never-ending suffering where you're constantly hungry and without space to move is no life at all. Not to mention yes, innocent people die, but what about all those awful people we've executed, or just don't know about? Ted Bundy, Jack the ripper, etc. If they didn't die, would they just torture people for eternity? Since those people couldn't die either, would they just live through all the tortures and sadistic acts those people would inflict on them? Death is preferable.

Anyway, my thoughts on what's wrong with the world today - Overcrowding + lack of education. We need to stop breeding so fast (which we already are kinda not, at least compared to awhile ago, but we still need to cut down a bit more since more children are reaching adult hood), and we need to improve/expand education. The real problem about overcrowding is we need to do it without infringing on human rights, which China is doing. So I guess give people a little bit of money every 5 years they don't have a child? That way they can still have as many children they want, they just won't get money if they do. (Not entirely sure if this is a good idea - I love babies and children... but something needs to be done.)
We need to bring education up to a certain standard worldwide (the US school system sucks), and then bring it everywhere. Yes, there will always be those who won't succeed in traditional education, but we need to encourage alternate education or trade education for those who simply aren't suited to school, and put less pressure on those people to go to college when they don't want to and will simply drop out anyway. (I know already other countries do this, so that last sentence was aimed at the US.)

Does the walker choose the path, or the path the walker?

To every student, his/her education system is the worst. The grass on the other side is always greener, so to say. We need to realise that everything has a flipside - China's law about children, for example. is cruel, but it controls the population (not saying I support it). We need to gather up all the pros, and use them to their fullest advantage. It's not education we need to bring up, but awareness - more accurately, common sense. I've seen villagers who are far more intelligent than IIT graduates. If people think, they won't need to be told to control the population, to be a part of a community. They'll do it themselves.

And yes, dying is a part of life. I accept that, and respect that. I also accept that some people need to be contained so they cannot harm others. I meant all the other atrocities that claim lives that should have continued. Watch the movie The Law Abiding Citizen, I think you'll like it.

There are times when you will miss what you never had. I wonder how you will find what you so desperately need.

How do you propose we cultivate this...common sense you speak of?

You can't if people don't want to, just like you can'r educate people if they don't want to learn. You can only hope.
