  9. This is all true and exactly what I see when I take the time to look at individuals around me. If individuals act without forward vision in selfish ways it is slightly bad for the rest of us, however is governments likewise do the same, it is potentially catastrophic. Today many people are critizizing the power of multinational corporations. It is almost fashionable, but it misses the real problem of a society based solely on short-term gain. Corporations and governments are products of the society that nutured them. Without customers, a company cannot exist. You could say that as taxpayers, we are the government's customers aswell. The main thing on the mind of both organisations is satisfying their customer's needs and desires. If we have short-term desires, they will be met. This is especially true of simple desires that are easy to meet. A company will give you 1000 toys before it gives you a single long-term solution. Interconnectivity is a problem as well as an opportunity. With so many people requesting short-term fixes to meet their desires they overwhelm the ones who ask for longer-term goals. Meet the needs of the majority and you will always be reelected. The system in America works for supplying people who have money with new things to buy. It is a quick fix and an easier solution than planning for global change. With interconnected marketing, we are continueously bombarded with new products to buy. It is the easiest solution to fill, even though it may not be your individual solution, if it works for enough people, the rest can be ignored. Most people, when presented with a limitless amount of options for what to do, will choose to do the simplest task - go to the store and buy a new product. Freedom for the undirected mind is a waste of time and resourses. It hurts the environment and untimately the world all of us live in.
  10. Same way here in America, on the cheap I eat Quaker instant oatmeal.
  11. I wouldn't give teh "reger" spambot too much credit.
  12. Part 1 Most of us realize that almost all of human action has had profound effects upon the world in which we live. The notion that we are just a speck of dust in an uncontrollable ocean is becoming quaint in the modern world although there are still those that believe in it still. From the moment man took conscious action to control his world, he rose above the great majority of other animals and declared himself unique. Today we live in a world that our great grandfathers wouldn't recognize if they saw it. Seemingly irreversible change has made the Earth into our orchard. With great power comes great responsibility. Yet our world is ruled by bickering politicians who are more concerned with increasing their net worth. When you examine why it becomes clear, most people can not decide. If I randomly picked 10 Americans off the street, I bet I wouldn't be able to get them to agree on anything. The countries of North America, and perhaps the entire industrialized world, are made up of individualized fantasies. We all have our own dream world we either live in or are trying to live in. It is long past time when humans begin to think collectively and in multidimensional time. We as a species have outgrown our ability to just take care of our immediate family at the present moment. If the human race is to continue to flourish, it must adapt to the role of pilot. It must always be looking past the immediate future at what may come years ahead. Cultures, political organizations, and social networks all must change to support this new role. It is not impossible. It only takes an idea to grow and spread.
  13. I am having to give Chinese people instructions on how to enter data onto a website using English.
  14. Boo to all hotlink banning sites! this one made me LOL
  15. listening on headphones from Youtube just doesn't cut it- All of these posts are missing the point: Real Drum and Bass should be heard from seven-foot tall speakers in an unheated space with few, if any lights in an industrial wearhouse you've never been before around a bunch of people you don't know or trust.
  16. The "reger" spambot lurks this forum. Wash hands after use.
