I wanted to make a blog about how I feel about some of the issues that we as a generation are going to face in the next couple of years, the issues that we have inherited, and how nonchalantly we are taking these issues.
Please read and comment, hopefully I can lay this edge off and get back to gaming.
And remember Internets, they are big business.
hmmm, well it's good to see that you are not just someone that blindly answers questions, and also aligns with either party blindly, I live in New Zealand so we are more or less lefties with capitalist undertones, we are very agriculture and more distribution & logistics so whilst we are a clean and green country we don’t have a cap & trade although our last government tried to bring one into law, It's one way that companies can make a bit of dosh out of a pending disaster. (environment issue)
This is something that should be a forefront discussion but I am going to condense it for time. I am pissed off with this issue.
my generation has been saddled with the elephant in the room. While my kids and grandkids are going to be saddled with the affects, why aren’t we upset about this. (oh right we play games, and are being dumbed down by the media and fucking texting) The environment that we live in now is comfortable, we take it for granted how good we have it, Cheap gas, Cheap food, Cheap travel, Consumables, Consumerism.
We rape the land (and that’s our fathers and our grandfathers fault,) that we are being brought up in the mindset to continue to rape the land to continue to walk blindly whilst the walls close in on us, and we think that if we ignore it it will go away. (It Wont) What will happen when gas hits $200 a barrel, what will happen when we have millions of refugees from (war, famine, natural disasters Etc) and so on.
We need gutsy politicians to stand up to these companies that are making massive profits of the back of our future, remember it's not the leaders we want but it's the leaders we need, and often we don’t even know whats good for us.
Moving on from the environment now and on to another point you made.
Health Care.
Why don't you want this to be fixed? from my understanding you can only get health-care from a Insurance company and then they will do anything under the sun to not to pay even though you have paid your premiums, I don't see why you would not want a health care system like ours, I get sick go to the doctor pay 15 bucks and get better, why would you not want this.
Last one.
Capitalism, just saying that oh hey you know we always had capitalism so why would I change now, well look as I said it's not the ideals it's the people, people are greedy etc etc.
I am going to have dinner now ill come back later.
