The World's Curse = $

i think banning people who think banning should be banned should be banned.

makes ya think, doesnt it ;) :p

I belive tyhe problem with money is than it create unfair situtations... For exemple : Even if you have the potential to be good at any type of job, if you dont have the money well you will never fudill your potential... Imagine how many talents was lost because of this...

In our socity money is more imporant than anything (more than your childrens)...The proof ^ Well who is better pais... your badysitter or your banker?

i guess we're all too selfish here to thin about our children's children's children's.....

Dark, you seem to be the only person here to make a comment towards the protection of the earth. Whats up with that?

tree hugger :p

yup I guess I"m a tree hugger :D

mattboy, look at the date of that article.....for every tree one is replanted? you seem to forget the large deforestisation (sp?) in south america....but blah...money is a curse, that's it...but that's most of all because western arrogance toward the majestic planet we live on ;)

woohoo western arrogance, we rock!! :D :p

i thought you meant money was a bad thing and should never had existed. that's where my comment would've fit in :\ oh well...

DarkMephisto....yes, I saw the date on the article. It is irrelevant. Did you notice who conducted the study?

Take a gander at it. Redefining Progress. an offshoot of GreenPeace? More than likely. "ecological bankruptcy"...what a giant load of steamy s**t. I'll believe it when I see it. Whoever said a word about "massive deforestation" has never lived in the northern United States and southern Canada. I have 5 trees in my yard alone...and I have a small yard. There are millions of acres of forests in Iowa alone. I've never been to South America to see this "massive deforestation" with my own eyes, so I won't believe it. I lost all faith in nonprofit ecological groups years and years ago when GreenPeace ran out of things in nature to complain about so they started attacking McDonalds.

Gheh well I've quit trying to shove realilty down people's throats on forums (especially on forums that are not about politics :p) and I have definitely quit trying to make things clear (or at least my personal opinion) to western people (gheh I'm still trying to convince this jew internet buddy from jerusalem that jews as well as palestinians are both guilty of doing the same thing and blahblahblah). We live in a consumer society, people are seen as 'consumers' instead of 'people' but that is ok, it's just our way of doing things. I won't complain about the lack of culture, the lack of individualism, the lack of values, the surplus of lies, the ignorance of man, the arrogance of Europe and the US toward the rest of the world, the fact that islam and christianity are holding things back but at the same time are the only ways of making people act like civilized beings, the lack of opinion, the lack of reason, the lack of love.....et cetera :D:D:D

Btw, it's all imho and I'm still a nice guy (sometimes :p) and I'm a member of this marvel of a forum because of the beauty that is created and the help that I can get here (and maybe give) so don't hold this against me....I'm a treehugger! :D:D:D

damn treehuggers :D :p
