Welcome to Gaia! ::

low self esteem maybe, overly optimistic. and other less nice reasons sweatdrop

i hope she tells him to get lost 3nodding

you're more right than you know about knowledge, it's a burden for anyone with a conscience.
i always notice whenever i see people with Down Syndrome, they're always so happy!

the thing is, society is the way we make it, human greed is what causes most of the strife on this planet, we're not the nicest of species redface

I'd say we're some of the worst species... We have slaves and such; no other species enslaves itself. We have cognitive thought.... but how does it give us the right to destroy so much? But I cannot say too much... I use lots of water and electricity and I don't know where I'd be without it.

Did you know that they stopped making electric cars because they were SO popular? Basically, the company would lose money selling them because people loved them and they'd last too long. The same way with lightbulbs. Go out to your garage with an old lightbulb and you could make alightbulb that would burn for over twenty years. Some guy got so fed up with changing lightbulbs that he did that! (Think of what that would do to the lightbulb industry if everyone was like that!)


It is fairly warm here today, but I'm inside, and I'm supposed to be studying hehe.

Good luck with university Bolon. It sounds like you're in engineering perhaps? I know those deal with physics, anyway since I'm in physics II at the moment.

"green house effect" I think is what you meant. The USA is indeed a bad, bad place for those gases, and China is catching up to us...

The biggest problem is big corporations. Turning to more efficient power sources would cost THEM huge amounts of money because they wouldn't have a monopoly on the new power sources and such.

Oh my, that's quite a hard field. The math that's involved just goes straight over my head. In fact.... the math in physics II goes over my head completely. I have a terrible teacher on top of it!

Yeah... It seems America is going downhill fast because of the "good old boy" system. Which works just fine when you have a lot of good old boys, but most people aren't.

It could be a lot different if people cared. But young people have... television, funny videos on the internet, videogames.... a million and two things to do instead of looking at the world and being a part of it. Those of us who do care, well, it's so hard to get anything going because of the lack of care. I was once part of a council in my high school that promoted cultural diversity and basically was against prejudice. It lasted one year. No one would take our place as leaders because they'd rather go talk on their phones or something.

that's always been the way unfortunately Bolon, laws prevent companies from fouling up their own country, so they go and pollute elsewhere, and because poorer countries don't have the Health and Safety rules either, they harm their new, extremely cheap workforce too mad

I ask a Russian about it... and she tell me that they feel european instead of asian becuase Russa Isn't just in asia... part of it is in europe and a tzar made the cities european stile.
