I agree with cil2008--but, having said that, I also believe in freewill and that there are choices involved. Some people think that, once things get too screwed-up here, God will just rapture us out of the situation--and think that way to the point that they just don't bother to fix things because something better is coming along any day now. Some even go so far as to try to hurry things along in that direction. Check out what I asked here several months ago... Well! It seems to have disappeared, but I was wondering if George W. Bush might be planning all of these wars in order to try to bring on Armageddon. Anyway, I don't believe that our duty is to try to make things worse--or even to just sit on our duffs--in hopes of being rescued. Instead, our duty is to be doing our duty--the one that God assigned to us early on--of being caretakers of our planet (which includes taking care of both ourselves and others). We need to start caring. Even if Jesus returns at the end of this year to rapture us away, that doesn't mean that He doesn't want to return to find us just sitting around and looking at the sky. Otherwords, the first thing we need to be doing to make things work here on earth is to lose all signs of apathy. We need to get thoughts of apathy out of our heads--even the most noble thoughts of "Jesus will be returning soon, so we shouldn't bother our heads with the things of this world!" Certainly, we need to lose the depressing thoughts of "This planet is going down the toilet, and there's nothing we can do about it!" or (as is a thought of some young people) "What does it matter? I don't expect to see my 21st birthday." We're here, so we need to make our here-and-now the most positive we can make it. We can't save the life of every starving child, but that doesn't mean that we can't give what we can to save children one-at-a-time. If more people took that attitude, every starving child (or closer than we are now) just might be saved! How we will be in 50 years--with the factor thrown in that we will still be here in 50 years, and we very well just might be--depends on whether we choose positive action or apathy.

Action or apathy is truly the point here. People can go on talking till the cows come home, but until people can collectively look past each others' differences and personal beliefs, we can expect nothing positive to take place in the world's current situation.

I think now a days crime rates have evolve and our world is slowly becoming less safer and more dangerous for the young. Some people are just not sane anymore, they're robbing orphanages, killing grandmothers; what is going on?; People no longer understand the value of right and wrong. Legal or not. Stronger actions should be taken out on people who disobey the law so that the younger generation would not be influence by it. DAY by day children see Shia Lebouf or paris hilton getting DUI's and so they think its cool and do the same but they are also endangering their lifes and the lifes of others. Values need to be thought and learned from.
