I don't steal from people, I may have stole from some corporations.

No actually

well the USA said they were leaving in 2017, but every time they said they would leave the just add more troops. I cant see this war ending soon. Vietnam 2.0 Peace would solve problems. The demand isn't always constant, it goes up and down.

Money shouldn't matter, our priorities are so messed up, we care more about paper then we do about helping people. No, we haven't. They can go away completely but that would mean drastic changes to our current system. These problems are a result of how the current system is structured, it is flawed and we need a new one, something closer to the heart. . How does making drugs illegal lower crime, it creates crime. Gangs and terrorist groups are funded by it, need I say more? As for poverty if we were trying to solve it, we wouldn't be kicking people out of their homes. I saw on BNN about a week or two ago, it said "expecting record defaults in 2010". Why are we kicking people out of their homes, what are we trying to prove. They don't have enough paper so they aren't entitled to a home, great system. What are you talking about, fear is why we are fighting a war and putting scanners in airports, fear is an emotion. That voice in our head, that's what makes us who we are, not this mask we call our bodies. Emotion always defines policy. We just got to stop living in fear and start living in love. Love isn't something you have to work for, you just have to love. Love resonates in the right side of the brain, fear in the left we are a left brained society Don't be afraid to let your heart ignite. "You may say that I'm a dreamer but I'm not the only one, I hope some day you'll join us and the world will live as one" - John Lennon Dream is destiny.

We are not solving the issue of poverty, what creates poverty. We could feed everyone on this planet if we chose to. There is no reason we can't. What creates crime, what creates poverty, we can solve these problems, we just need to understand what creates these problems. It is the system is that causes these problems. Why must it continue? for what purpose? Who benefits from this. Don't any of you still know how to feel, do you know what love is?

Our downfall is we or at least many of us can't see passed the lies. The lies have become truth to many. What is getting better? we now have HDTV's instead of black and white? The problems that plagued society in the passed are still here. We still have poverty and we still go to war.

The universe is made up of energy just like we are. We don't just live in the universe we are part of the universe. My question to you is what is real? Is real what you can see, taste, touch, feel and smell, for those are merely electrical signals interpreted by your brain. Matter is just energy's vibration slowed down to be perceptible by our senses. To your brain a dream is no different then the "real" world, so is that dream world real? some say no but you could argue it is real only as long as it last, but then again you could say the same for life. So what is real, is consciousness the only thing that is truly real? Thanks, I know what money is. Do you know how money is created? Money runs the economy and the economy controls society. In the hands of the government would be better. Truthfully I would like to say lets scrap the money concept but I've noticed many people think that society cannot function without money and if we did scrap money we would all live like Neanderthals. Guess what, the economy isn't real, we made it up like we made up Santa. Laws are societies answers to problems it can't solve. Every problem has a solution. Don't stereotype. There are lawyers out there with good hearts that are trying to make the world better for us. And as for George Carlin, I will disagree with you on that, I find him funny. As for abortion I feel it should be up to the parents, not the courts. I understand why many find it immoral, but the decision should be left to the parents.

What does it make better and for who? Yes, these problems can be solved, what makes you say they can't.

Everything is for our security, it's lies. Do you even know how money is created? And if the government was really trying to protect us from big security shocks, they wouldn't be fighting a war that puts us at risk of a retaliatory terrorist attack. Why do you constantly say thing are getting better, is it because the TV says so? The Haiti tragedy killed 100-200 thousand, since jan 12, In the same time frame 325,000 children died from poverty at a rate of 25,000 a day. We never try and solve any real problems, we keep doing these stupid quick fixes that don't actually solve problems or they make the problem worse in the long run. A social program won't solve anything when it is the system that is the problem. You have too much faith in a system that was created through deceptions and lies. If you don't think people are gullible to lies look at the monarchy system, it is one person or a group or people lying to the majority of the people to seek control. A king or queen isn't royal, there is nothing special about them, they are a person like me or you. All they did was lie and deceive to gain power, I guess now they are just born into power their ancestors obtained. Need another lie more recently, America, weapons of mass destructions in Iraq, lie, majority believed it. The really messed up part is Bush and whoever created the lie isn't in prison and the war is still going on today. Want a lie that is going on right now, we are in a economic recovery. Think these are the only lies? H1N1 pandemic was I lie, wait I know what you are going to say, it was for our security. Governments lie all the time, why do you trust them. This is a song someone made. The 2 last verses I am asking you that question, democracy(in its current form), what do you want it for?

Depends on how you look at it. I believe god didn't create the universe god is the universe, so technically we are God. What do you mean by that, like when lobbyist pays for a politicians cooperation? Money is power, if you haven't noticed, money runs the world. And we gave control of issuing and regulating money to private hands. As for the charter of rights, I think George Carlin again said it best In our case, the Charter of privileges.

Maybe we are not just on something, maybe we are onto something. Keep an open mind. Security and Prosperity Partnership of North America Too bad CNN fired Lou Dobbs. This is not a democracy, don't be fooled, it is fascism. We are already headed towards a North American Union. They just need to sell it to the people, they need right crisis and make it seem like it's good idea. The American economy and dollar are about to take a nose dive, maybe that will be it.

How do you know they don't want to give anything back, how do you know they aren't making an effort. Who are you speaking on behalf or are you just stereotyping. Try walking a mile in their shoes. Your solution is slavery and would not solve any problems. Lets legalize drugs, we would get rid of many gangs, lower street violence, free up the court system, lower the prison population. Lets stop producing human waste instead of just dealing with human waste. I don't like that term human waste, find it offensive and demeaning.

I think George Carlin was bang on. We allow wars to go on slaughtering millions We let millions starve We let millions die of disease We force millions to live on the streets we are f***ed. and the really stupid thing is it is all in the name of money and greed.

Scrap the system, monetary based system is a joke. solution: Resource Based Economy

maybe it's not the people that are the problem, maybe society is the problem, ever think of that? Their is no wrong way to live.

thanks guys, I know what CO2 is. This whole CO2 climate change ordeal is nonsense. The problem isn't CO2 it's the fact that we don't stop polluting. We should not be dumping toxins in our oceans, in our atmosphere and we shouldn't be creating more and more landfills for our never ending stream of garbage. Why not force companies to make products that must be recyclable and green(or as much as possible) and the product must be created in a green manner. What happens when the air that we breathe becomes air that we choke? Money should not undermine the well being of this planet and its species. I'm just gonna go out and say it, Keynesian economics is fascist economics, we've become slaves to central banks. We need a better system, this current system doesn't work if people haven't realized by now, if you haven't, you will soon enough.

Guess what, it doesn't matter if climate change is happening or not, we shouldn't be polluting this planet either way. And if it is happening, the solution isn't to create a world treaty to reduce CO2 emissions. It's every country making its own laws that will end pollution(not just CO2) and force industry to go green. Industry shouldn't be shaping our way of life, we should be shaping industry. Solutions don't have to take 50 years like they want us to believe.

nobody wins when everybody loses. It doesn't matter who is in power in the states, it's a two headed one party system down there. Some people like Gerald Celente are predicting the emergence of a third party by 2012 that will actually compete with the republocrats. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hlxISUjU7dQ

communism, democracy, they are both fascism at heart. No matter which you live under you're forced to obey state rules and laws that are enforced by people with guns. The difference is in a democracy the people think they are free.

Are you sure it's worth it, who are you really fighting for, Canadians or the Canadian government? I know many Canadians who do not support the war in Afghanistan or the War on Terrorism in general, me being one of them. I don't think war or increasing penalties/sentences will solve the problem of terrorism, if anything we are increasing the likely hood of a terrorist attack occurring by starting wars in their homeland. We have to look at what motivates a terrorist to be a terrorist. Why do they want to hurt Americans or Canadians or whoever. Helen Thomas asks security chief John Brennan about what motivates the terrorists and he kept giving non answers. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W1pURIukrjw&feature=player_embedded We should be listening to what the terrorist are saying, they usually say its because of our foreign policy, we are over their bombing and starting wars. Do we not expect retaliation?

no man your not alone, I agree with you.

Here is the G20 protests in Pittsburgh last year. I guess we'll see how Canada handles the G20 protest in June when it comes to Toronto, I'll be there. As for news, mainstream media is a joke, it is mainly propaganda and its main objective is to shape public opinion. They tell us how to think and how to feel.

Governments constantly try to give solutions to problems they created by enforcing laws and regulations, this won't solve anything. Let's legalize drugs so gangs and terrorist groups don't have a billion dollar black market to fund operations. Gangs and street violence would reduce dramatically as it did after America legalized alcohol. Also I think actually solving poverty instead of saying "we are working on it" would solve many social problems. Lets try curing the disease instead of the symptoms.

Yes we are justifying the killing of innocents, the War on Terrorism is our justification. You still haven't answered why you think it's a good idea for China to send tanks to crush people who protest peacefully. It doesn't matter what the problem is, people should not have to die over it. Whether it is a civilian death or not, a death is a death. In December 2007, the Iraqi government reported that there were 5 million orphans in Iraq, almost half of the country's children bjre, it isn't about money, it is about power and control, it always has been.

whats your point Vanessa? They didn't fight the war just because they were itching to fight a war.
