well, it wasn't just today. I realize this every so often, and it's because of the fact that the world keeps reminding me....
This world is ******** up and it needs to be dead now. Where the hell is that damn apocalypse?
question: Do you think our economy is going to hit a depression? If so, when do you think?
scream is very stressed and upset right now! YAAARRRRGH!!!

Indeed. The world is screwed up, and the few people (compared to the whole of the population) who know what should be done to change things lack the political power to do so.
One of the large causes of everything is the rediculously rising population. We don't need six billion people on such a tiny planet. Another major problem would be the fact that people are so lazy and greedy that it costs way too much money to do things that often shouldn't cost anything at all. People all over are lacking something as common yet vital as water. Why can't we just purify the seawater? It's not like it doesn't happen all the time in nature. It's called "evaporation". Though the lack of such resources will most likely spark wars in the future, dealing with the population problem.
Really, the solutions to most problems are obvious. People are just too unwilling---or stupid---to use them.
Also, yes, the economy will most likely go into a depression, possibly in the next few years.

congrats Zeo, you just hit the mindset i arrived at 5 years ago. and no, it only gets worse not better. people as a general rule of thumb are lazy, stupid mindless sheep better sent stampeding off a cliff then anything else. an individual person can be a good thing. Cunning, determined, resourceful, a person is ok. but get too many together and all sorts of bad things occur. group mentality takes over. social order is determined, and often results in the inept leading and the rest following if only to stay in the group. resourcefulness gives way to lethargy and laziness. cunning gives way to acceptance of what is presented. determination is directed by the taskmaster in the lead. all goes to hell.
the point i make is that if one wants to make the world better, they should give up on concentrating on the groups acceptance of them and rather what is best for everyone from their own perspective. Americans are seeing this to a slight extend as we watch the country go to s**t because our elected officals don't give a crap about us, merely their own gain. and they only care of their own gain because they precieve that is what it will take to accepted in their own groups.
i don't know, i feel a bit rantish myself, most likely why that paragraph seems logically flawed

Wow! Such great, detailed posts. While I'm happy to hear that someone agrees with me in my suffering, I think I'm going to take a break from life for a while. I might not be on for a day or two. I think my soul is growing weak from all this bullshit that surrounds me.

dragonmatt5 xxKiria-Kunxx Third, I need my Death Note to do some good to the world. i think i'll give that a 'Amen' I think I'll give that a 'Swords and guns both work just as well and are far less cheap, and less lethal when death isn't necessary'. It's much better to make someone realize that they were completely wrong rather than kill them, turning an enemy into a potential ally.

domokun I think we might need to backtrack on the whole vampire slaying and do some human slaying of our own. Seeing as humans being the biggest threat to our world right now. domokun I'll start off with my neighbor. Death by inhalation of bananas.
domokun [p.s. I'm joking, mr. government agent who could possibly be reading this]

I lead. I win. Can it get any simpler?... Naw... It's just Bin Laden trying to figure out how to get information from a soldier he kidnapped. Surprise buttsecks doesn't seem to work.
@Arukai- Screw it. Unless they start planting some damn trees and give their salary away all the time, my death note shall act as a broom and sweep the useless dirt from the world. Mikan Itsuki...

But do you plant trees and give away money?
If you did something wrong and were capable of redeeming yourself, would you not prefer to be allowed to do so?
Death is permanent, and so should be reserved only for when it is absolutely necessary.

Checkmate. I'm not the problem. I just assist the solution. In which I would not be obliged to do so.
The death of many have been necessary since '05.
Not if you're a rich mogul. The chances of that are slim, if you threaten them with death, it would put you in jail. It's the cycle of anarchists. Protests are currently of no use for our country. Might as well head back to the Philipines while I can! hahaha.. Rynan Seihara...

I seem to be unable to determine how relevant that was...
Nonetheless, yes, deaths have been necessary, but not on the level of Kira. And it is cowardly to kill while you sit far out of harm's way, where no one can touch you. Or see you, or even know you ever existed.

[Arukai] I seem to be unable to determine how relevant that was... Nonetheless, yes, deaths have been necessary, but not on the level of Kira. And it is cowardly to kill while you sit far out of harm's way, where no one can touch you. Or see you, or even know you ever existed. the idea of honor has long since faded from this world. to try to threaten the power of some of the worlds worst people will not only have your life forfeit but that of your family and anyone they think may have been influenced by you. in that case to attack unseen is not cowardly to defend ones own life, but as a means to protect those around you. the very act of trying to stop them is honorable if they themselves are so cowardly as to not accept other's ideas and have to kill them to silence those notions. as for the deaths in general, i prefer to try all alternatives, but at this point i cannot come up with any other solution to rid the world of such menaces and keep them from doing worse in the future. while all people have a chance fr redemption, so to do they have a chance at even more horrors. and with the system of the world, those with power are often immune to the laws of man by sway of their own power. Death is the great equalizer, and no matter how much power they have gained, it is still permanent

I said nothing about honor. I merely stated that if it is physically impossible to retaliate against an attack, it's rather cheap. But when it comes to honor, snipers have more of that than some misguided guy with a notebook sitting at a desk.
And criminals don't count as a world power, unless they have all formed a secret covenant of some sort. The government openly states that it opposes crime, yet we see no army of criminals attempting a coup every time someone is arrested.
Also, as to what else but death can be done, first, if a felon has been caught, then imprisonment is enough to prevent further violent action. They should only be given a chance at redemption if they truly show signs that they regret what they have done and/or can live peacefully among society. Such a state can be influenced if proper communication can be established with them. Those who simply enjoy suffering and killing, and thus cannot possibly be made to think differently, are those truly deemed evil, and are the only ones who truly deserve death. Someone who drove drunk and hit a pedestrian should not be killed.
Second, would you continue to commit crimes (hypothetically, not saying you do) if every time you did so, a living shadow intervened?

Someone who drove drunk and hit a pedestrian should not be killed. Second, would you continue to commit crimes (hypothetically, not saying you do) if every time you did so, a living shadow intervened? you say that such attack is cheap, and while i agree, but that is based on a persons ethics and ideas relating to it. One's ability to stick to tht code of ethics would be honor, wouldn't it? my comment was based on how few people will stick to their own ethics. as for criminals being world powers, i meant that 2 ways. first were tyrants, dictators and general leaders of nations that oppress and drasticly intentionally harm their populous for whatever reason. though not criminal by their own laws, i think such disregard of humans is criminal by any standpoint, thus would call them criminals. secondly it referred to current leaders, congressmen, executives, etc. that disregard their nation's laws because of greed and in effect cause a different sort tragedy by abuse of the power their populous elected to give them. To have such capability of power in the lives of so many and misstreat it so badly for your own sake is also criminal to me. as for redemption, i will agree with your idea. those that wish to change will demonstrate such a desire and those that do not tend not to. however you must have both the reward and punishment for behavior in society, and as such those that kill without regard of human life (pre-planned murders for instance) have shown a contempt for another life over their own comfort. those that kill in self defence on the other hand react to a situation when someone else has decided that that persons life is not worth. i do not mean simply wipe out prisons because they broke a rule, merely that those that cannot change and have killed before be dealt justice. as for your second point, i don't follow. what do you mean a shadow intervened?
