World issues ~ deep thinking matters.
Posted: 18 Sep 2009, 19:33
To start this thread is basically because I don't know if to post it in the CAB-thread or CL-thread as these are matters that I either don't understand although can empathize to.
1. * Europe based ~ on the news this week we see farmers in Holland, Belgium and France not happy with the milk price being so low that it's not worth the production of it. So they are protesting by throwing milk away or letting it spray on the earth in litres at a time as they are not happy. In Holland they *thank the stars* blocked distribution centres. My first thought was WHAT A WASTE OF MILK in these times of economical crisis. This same week we were reminded of all the children & people in this world still starving to death. More so in Africa because of draught. How screwed up is this way of doing things in the world? Is the saying still "the rich get richer and the poor get poorer" or "f**k the poor while I get rich"?!
I still think it's because governments are all screwed up still and need a really good wake up call.
2. * Violence ~ something that IMO is a very bad thing. On coming Sunday there is an International Peace March *don't think the hippy~thing, more like the weapon thing where in this world (not so much Europe but still) so many innocent people are being killed. Isn't it time to stop the killing and start building a better tomorrow where education, well-being of the elderly, sick and those less fortunate that are the victims to this?
Globally as the common person we are indivuals as to what we do. We as people with a good heart do our best to support these things and I salute you if you do. In this economic crisis some of us who would love to help but don't have the funds to contribute, could you just then please lite a candle or go to a march if there is one in your part of the woods, saying you stand behind a certain good. Let our actions speak louder than words and let us just stand behind the greater good of this planet and human kind as it's our actions that are building a future of younger generations.
Like the monkey, we see, we do. Thank you if you can just feel why I've started this kind of thread...
...it's been long missing in the history of HL...
