Nov 18, 2008 - Sir, the world is for a certain part in this deplorable state because a lot of people do their jobs as badly as you did this video. I hardly can hear, forget understand, what you are saying.

Nov 18, 2008 - The most grassroots way to improve evrthng in the world is TRUTH. Whether thr is a God or not, whthr the Bible is true or not, whthr we came from frogs and rocks or not, people must forget wht seems popular, wht their friends or fam would think, how coocoo many religions and religious people are, and find the truth for themslvs. Read the Bible for yourself. I've found it to be truth, and found a relationship with the Creator and Savior. Faith is not without evidence, not blind.

Nov 18, 2008 - It is meaning what we should ask not for a better world. And the answer what gives meaning to live is love. We should teach how to love. Most people doesnt. The reality is that many powerful and decisionmakers doesnt anything about love. But love is not an emotion or a fealing. Love is a force that moves and change human beeing. It is the most poweful. Lets start by changing a dishumanized economy and by educating our children. But asking, it is meaningful for our world?.

Nov 18, 2008 - What would happen if a coalition of countries and corporations could be gathered up to support, feed, cloth, heal, educate, and finance just ONE country and teach that country to do the same for one other country? If we can empower one country, we can empower the world.

Nov 18, 2008 - Don't believe and trust everything your government and your media tells you. learn and educate yourself about other religions, cultures, and people .Don't hate and get angry! Remember, they DIVIDE AND CONQUER! protest issues peacefully.Don't mix people with their governments. We are all victims of our greedy governments! Raise your voice, it matters!

Nov 18, 2008 - anyways we have other things to do than labouring in crappy jobs, we have a universe to explore, science to make advance, we are on the verge of connecting humans together to maybe become one new system (like cells group to become living thins like humans, humans themselves can come together to become something new ie internet mmo games).

sacramant1979 Says:
Nov 18, 2008 - One way to help the poor ppl is automation and the indendance of automated systems from corp's. What I mean is if there was (or when) there will be ways to produce everything man needs with automation (robots, etc...) then everything would be free. The reason is...If no human intervention is needed to produce a goods then there is no cost to produce this good. Im talking about automising every part of the goods production.
sacramant1979 Says:
Nov 18, 2008 - This is corporations worst nightmare...and they are gonna do everything in their power to keep the technology intheir hands....Of course to get there, it is necessary to have a 'transition' phase wich will require human (PART2)intervention(conception, repair, management, production) but as automation is augmented....human intervention is dimished, and I can see it dimishing to virtually nothing....as jobs in these sectors
sacramant1979 Says:
Nov 18, 2008 - (PART3)diminish....technology will advance and new needs and hence jobs could be created (uselessly keeping dinosaur jobs is not good for mankind...keeps goods prices up and is anti povert in the long run). So if we can have an automated system that takes care of verything so that we are in global equililbrium between the generation of ressources and the consumption of resource then it could be possible than everyone on earth could
sacramant1979 Says:
Nov 18, 2008 - have something for nothign (this then leads to an ethical question as too will the world become 'spoiled' wich I think it would unfortunatly so maybe this pyramid scheme the world is under actually makes sure the world keeps going round). anyways we have other things to do than labouring in crappy jobs, we have a universe to explore, science to advance, we are on the verge of connecting humans together to become one new system(like cells)

estadis Says:
Nov 18, 2008 - Estimado Pablo:He leido parte de tu obra y eres el guía o maestro de personas (por mi parte no). Te recomiendo que coloques la traducción al español (creo que no perderías mucho tiempo en hacerlo) dado que para el inglés soy malazo.Una vez que tengas la traducción, conversamos.De lo contrario, suerte.No te olvides que eres latino también. Saludos a los amigos Brasileros que sin duda son buenas personas).
milenapiscis Says:
Nov 18, 2008 - I think all of us should be less selfish.. in a way all of us are selfish.. we need to help other people, people who need more than us.. there is always someone next to us waiting for some help, someone that need more than us..
milenapiscis Says:
Nov 18, 2008 - ...also it is necesary to teach the new kids to understand that there is more people in the world who need us, and make them less materialistic, dont teach them about brands, or "cool" things.. just the truth.. the real important stuff!!...
