If we were to start a campaign to save the world, where should we start? Obviously, a lot of people see there are a lot of problems in the world. So, out of all of them, what do you think is the worst and humankind should tackle it right away? Poverty? Famine? Global Health? Perfect the First-World countries so they can help others? Or bring the Third-World countries up to date? Make one world power? Disease? Where would someone start saving the world? |

i think we need to focus on everything. people are so concerned about world power and who will rise to the top, that we as a country are losing focus on what is really important. screw the folks in iraq we need to be home fixing the problems right here on american soil before we worry about other countries problems. poverty and sickness suck and we are after all AMERICA and we need to get back on track. i feel that if we dont do something soon our country will fail.

Unfortunately our economy is dying yet politicians keep sayin that our economy is great. In the world of technological technicians... there's been many companies who have laid off hundreds of their employees. Fortunately I free lance (contracting) |

Unfortunately our economy is dying yet politicians keep sayin that our economy is great. In the world of technological technicians... there's been many companies who have laid off hundreds of their employees. Fortunately I free lance (contracting) Our economy isn't nearly as bad as everyone seems to think it is. We had estimates of a big time stock market downfall (like a couple weeks ago it was supposed to occur), and we were supposed to fall into a recession or at least get very near. Unemployment/stock didn't do nearly as bad as predicted and we came no where near reaching a recession. Our economy has for the most part been a staggered rise/fall, ultimately rising more and more each year. |

You're so naughty Kryo.
Our economy isn't nearly as bad as everyone seems to think it is. We had estimates of a big time stock market downfall (like a couple weeks ago it was supposed to occur), and we were supposed to fall into a recession or at least get very near. Unemployment/stock didn't do nearly as bad as predicted and we came no where near reaching a recession. Our economy has for the most part been a staggered rise/fall, ultimately rising more and more each year. Thank you. So true. It's funny because the news was like, businesses were reporting low sales, whatnot, and that Americans weren't spending enough for Christmas which hurt the economy. I was LMAO because I went to 5 different malls and the average time it took me to find parking was a good 20 minutes. And when I sat in the parking lot, a bunch of people walked out with bags and bags of things. The same was observed by my friends in California, and Massachusett. Low sales my ass. Also, I was keeping up with predictions of a recession because of my Mom's work. It was a big no show. So CONTRAST TO WHAT TAMA-ON-CRACK WAS SAYING, politicians and economists were predicting a RECESSION, not that our economy is doing great. Were you on Mars when this was happening, man? So please, enough with your conspiracies, Tama. There are a lot of people on CB who will actually believe what they read here from an outspoken individual (such as yourself). And another thing, just cuz politicians say it, doesn't mean everyone believes in it. People do use their brains sometimes you know. Whenever I read something you posted, it sounds like you think everyone but you is an idiot or that they're brainwashed. LOL. |

Whenever I read something you posted, it sounds like you think everyone but you is an idiot or that they're brainwashed. LOL. ^ LOL (News?) Watch C-Span... you'll get a better understanding, not half assed News. Not everyone in America is a middle to high class American. Just because you and your friends across America claim to see so many people at malls doesn't make a difference, nor holds weight. There's been many people who went from the middle class to nearly if not already lower class. There's people losing jobs left and right, Toshiba, Comcast, Bellsouth (before AT&T took over) Mitsubishi etc.. all laid off "THOUSANDS" of employees Nation wide (some world wide) Hundreds of employees per based location. On top of that, the real estate industry is goin to shit. No one's buying, no one can sell. New homes that were recently built are too expensive. Do you realize what happens when the real estate becomes shit? That causes a chain reaction of lay offs and companies folding. This effects contractors and their construction crew, engineers, land surveyors etc.. Why do you think there's all this talk of tax cuts? Now don't get me wrong, I'm not claiming our economy has been the worst, but it seems for every point it rises, it then drops 5-10 points. Stop thinking on a small scale of shit... the bigger picture is right under your big, fat nose. Defaming me is quite laughable. Lets see your attempt on your next post lol Also I never claimed that people believe our politicians in terms of the economic issues. Re-read my post, you fail. |
