Waaaay off topic - society is never cruel, it just seems that way to the involved participants. Also by blaming society you are not being a resposible individual, etc. "If you cant afford to do the time, don't do the crime." "You have the right to remain silent forever."

Hmm to be fair i blame society cause what do you see when you turn on the T.V? When you walk outside, what do people find acceptable? no no, i also reach my extend of blame to politics, I'm tired about hearing people going to war over which goverment a country should adopt, or for a power stuggle. Don't say I whine to much, or I can't talk because I'm not doing anything to help, im just adding my thoughts about how the world has jaded me with its ways. in the words of a great man "lets all cry now, do you want to cry?"

Ok, we both agree that our society has terrible public relations. "The ugly American" is a syndrome foisted upon us and we respond in kind (also known as television, the newspaper, magazines, etc.) When I walk outside and look at the different areas that I travel to (inluding the so called "bad neighborhoods") I find that everyone has the same asperations, dreams, ideas, wants, that I have. A better world and they will do whatever it takes to help to make it happen. The negativity comes from the "media" and their need to make "news." So let us seperate the issues - the projected image and the "real world."
Pojected image - lousy rotten times Real world happening - it is very good out there
War is an instrument of government. Until such time as we can devise a replacement tool it will happen. "The needs of the many outwiegh the needs of the few." Spock from Star Trek
If we remove government we have anarchy. Therefore govenrment is a necessary evil, and of necessity it must use some evil methodolgy. Call this circular logic if you must but there must be a starting point somewhere in there.
The problems come because we always have a few idiots that make the trouble. No way around them but to outlast them and move on. This is the only way to survive and thrive. This goes for individuals and as a species (aka the human race). This is the new age statement "Deal with it."
There is nothing wrong with being "jaded". It mearly means that you are being honest with yourslef. YOu recognize your own internal conflict and have come to an understanding with some of it. Nutty behavior is not knowing that you dislike some of the conclusions you have come to and then saying "So what."
Time to get off my soapbox, stop preaching and go play a game.

for the first part i guess its depending on alot of changing factors so i wont start anything.
for the second part war is sumthing my country is still in, and they haev america breathinf down their back as we speak. it was once a great country and now its the worst place with bombed out apartments, men carrying guns in the road to stop u along the ay cause its also a occupied country, which made it into a big deacade of a depression.
never said goverment should be removed, just checks and balances are not cutting it.
and as for the jaded part, ive gone thru to many things that a kid thats 7 should never have to experience, no one should ever have to, nothing about being honost with myself, its being exposed to the horrors of the world when i should be playing around with my friends.
"rabbi t'wan wu allah" and may he guide them to a better place.
