You did know we are perfectly in sync with the natural world and not just a random abomination?

It has a lot to do with the bad things of the world.

Unless you are blind to the fact that one whole generation can fuck up the world?

I'm sorry, that's just how things work...

if you read my post you'll note I was referring to the oppression of homosexuals as what's wrong with the world. I don't know how you could have misinterpreted when given my history here I'm one of the biggest LGBT rights supporters you'll ever meet.

Thanks Yootopia for pointing that out to him.

That can be debated..seeing as the word "natural" can be twisted..

Some the natural process of the human life is to pass on its genes to the next generation...

homosexuals do not do this. I.E. not natural.

I'm not saying I agree, just playing a little devils advocate.

What`s wrong with the world today, *mumbles* never said nothings wrong with it
Uooo, what is wrong with the world today?

What man, whose the man, when`s a man a man, why`s it so hard to be a man
Am I a man? Yes, technically, yes?

Oohh, come on, they`re turning kids into slaves
They`re turning kids into slaves just to make cheaper sneakers
But what`s the real cost, `cause the sneakers don`t seem that much cheaper
Why are we still paying so much for sneakers when you got little kid slaves making them

You can take away society from the world, and it'd still be full of -

Every generation is dealt a new hand , no one generation has fucked up the whole world , couple of them have slowed us down ; but we just keep right on going
somewhere I am sure there was a cave man watching his kids hit something with a rock and asked the self same question. A club a club not a rock

It has a lot to do with the bad things of the world.

Nothing that wasnt wrong with the world 500 or 2000 years ago...

The difference is that you know about it, if anythings different, and therefore "wrong" compared to the world of yesterday, its that, ;)

"Never be deceived that the rich will permit you to vote away their wealth." - Lucy Parsons
Socialism is an economic system characterised by social ownership of the means of production and co-operative management of the economy. "Social ownership" may refer to cooperative enterprises, common ownership, state ownership, citizen ownership of equity, or any combination of these. There are many varieties of socialism and there is no single definition encapsulating all of them. They differ in the type of social ownership they advocate, the degree to which they rely on markets or planning, how management is to be organised within productive institutions, and the role of the state in constructing socialism.

The truth is that, as bad as things are now, they're better than they've ever been. The only reason you think the past is so much better is because you tend to only remember the good things about the past and forget the bad.

Scientists are motivated by greed. Makes sense. After all, the scientific profession is extremely lucrative and pays far, far more than being a doctor or a lawyer.

You forgot the Jewish conspiracy... :p
The Earth is a very small stage in a vast cosmic arena. Think of the rivers of blood spilled by all those generals and emperors so that, in glory and triumph, they could become the momentary masters of a fraction of a dot. Think of the endless cruelties visited by the inhabitants of one corner of this pixel on the scarcely distinguishable inhabitants of some other corner, how frequent their misunderstandings, how eager they are to kill one another, how fervent their hatreds.- Carl Sagan

Four pages in, but I'll put in my two cents worth. What's wrong with the world today? Nothing that hasn't been wrong with it for millenia. Technology outstrips ethics. Population outstrips resources. As it was in the beginning it is now and ever shall be, but NOT world without end. One of these days the technology will be just a bit more than we can handle and the resources won't be able to catch up and it will be world with an end.
