REVIEW OF 2016

Postby Wansul » Tue Dec 27, 2016 4:20 pm

Well, 2016 is almost over. It's been quite a year. What's happened?
-Middle Eastern Conflict winds down
-Disney releases lot of movies
-2016 election ends with Trump winning
Landed on a comet
-Numerous Celerberty Deaths
-Republicans keep Congress
-Terrorism Worldwide
-Would population nears 8 billion
-Vika Virus grows
-Ebola cure is close
-North Korea threatens war(again)
-Britian leaves EU
-Russia ocupies Crimea
Its been a pretty bad year. Things have been going bad all over. But as Lin-Manuel Miranda said,(Director and lead role of the play Hamilton) everything can be better. New Year resolutions can help change things. What could people do to make the world better.
WHAT CAN WE CHANGE TO MAKE THE WORLD BETTER?
MAKE 2017 BETTER!

Mod Edit: Corrected the typo in the title.

Altogether it's been pretty bad. Some people like part of it, others different parts, some none.

It took many talents from the world and gave the world President-Elect Donald Trump in exchange.

Raw Deal.
Crimes committed by Muslims will be a pan-Islamic plot and proof of Islam's inherent evil. On the other hand crimes committed by non-Muslims will merely be the acts of loners who do not represent their belief system at all.
The probability of one's participation in homosexual acts is directly proportional to one's public disdain and disgust for homosexuals.
If a political figure makes an accusation of wrongdoing without evidence, odds are probable that the accuser or an associate thereof has in fact committed the very same act, possibly to a worse degree.

...erm, last time I checked, Russia took over the Crimea in 2014, not 2016. Unless they took over a different Crimean peninsula in Estonia.

Also, the DPRK threatens a war every other week. I doubt anybody takes them seriously anymore, since they cried wolf so many times now.

But yeah, 2016 has basically shown that humanity is not fundamentally good. We're pretty much doomed to treat each other as though we are wolves, and even if we can "mask" our animalistic instincts, we're always one incident away from being savage to one another.

The first things everybody should do in the world is accept how people love. People have to stop prosecuting LBGT people, just because they are different. If it's against your religion, here's this.
I won't do that, it's against my religion Is perfectly fine

So?

Israel has been occupying the Golan Heights since 1967. Doesn't mean that Israel invaded Syria this year.

Next year will probably be worse though, I'll have to buy so much stuff in order to survive the impending Nuclear Holocaust.
