The World Today

Well tollbooth that's a heavy first discussion, usually people just want to say 'hi I'm new' so you are really jumping in at the deep end. Well I guess I'd better try and answer your questions as best I can! 1. Political affairs - very touchy subject and not something that us mere mortals can do much about. It seems there's only a few people that can tell the rest of us how we should live and what will happen in the world. We all hate wars but they continue mainly for the financial benefit of the few. People are still starving in the 21st century, many hate this but again it's the few that let it continue and again it will be for their benefit. 2. The world needs many improvements but again what can individuals really achieve, not a lot. Even organisations that are in favour of changes have difficulties in achieving anything let alone changing the world. 3. So how come when we all know that the rainforests should be left alone are they still be destroyed - because a few of those 'top' people are making money out of it. As for forest fires, this is down to the environment, arsonists or careless people and they destroy peoples lives and livelihoods. 4. Wars and killing will never stop, and we all know that's because of the few again making money out of the destruction of people. Be it for land, oil, etc,etc, people don't count, they are insignificant when weighed up against what money others can make. So all in all it's a sad state of affairs. I imagine that every individual would like things to change but it doesn't happen, maybe we just sit back and think that others will do something but they don't or maybe we're just glad that the bad things aren't happening to us, or our families, or our countries. Or maybe we are all waiting for a 16 year old from america to change the world, so is it down to you Jon and your friends?? Will you be changing the world? Someones got to do something and soon, so have you got any suggestions?? By the way, welcome to mylot and I hope you enjoy our community!!

You are absolutely right, the world today is going on its worst state and even worst for the years to come. We cannot do anything to stop it as an individual but if we will all work together we can do something about it. Forest fires are sometimes caused by illegal loggers, in our country that is the main cause of forest fires. Politics also plays a great role because they dictate the whole situation or stability of a certain nation.

Crime, violence, greed, pollution, contamination and population are all entertwind. The higher the population, the more crime, the greater the violence, all the more there will be to cause pollution and contamination of the world, and the more the number of the greedy becomes. The more people there are, the more brushes with each other, the more wars will take place. Because, population has multiplied by leaps and bound, wars have also multiplied by leaps and bounds. So, for everyone out there who wants to have a better life, cut down on population. Help to keep population at its lowest growth. If you feel the need to have some offsprings, be considerate and keep it to just one. Looking it from your point of view, the world's political affairs shall become more intricate as the population rises. The world is sending its distress signal. The populace has been too cruel to her. Pollution and contamination are too much to manage, causing the destruction of the ozone layer, this in effect, causes the inhabitants to suffer in many ways. Rainforest destruction is caused by the rich and the influential. The poor and the needy have minimal use for them. Thus the needs of the ordinary man will not hurt the rainforests. Forest fires happen because aside from man's activities which maight have caused it, there are some which were triggered by nature itself. Nowadays, when temperatures are much too high, forests are bound to catch fires during the very dry days. Wars and killings will never be put a halt. It can be reduced if we reduce our world population. Lowering down the population, will lower down the number of people who will be colliding and attacking each other in the process of leading their lives.

OK, here are my answers. Answer 1: Political affairs are atrocious and corrupt and will NEVER lead to world peace. Answer 2: The world and its inhabitants are in dire straits and need DRASTIC improvements soon or it will all selfdestruct. Answer 3: People should learn to preserve the environment and not interfere. Answer 4: The good news is, yes, wars will eventually come to an end and the world will be saved. However this change will not be brought about by man but by divine interference. It is only when Jesus Christ returns to the earth that we will receive appropriate guidance to improve our caracter (for those who choose this path) so we can allow ourselves to honour and enjoy eachother and celebrate the glory of the universe.
