do you honestly think that the world will be better in the future?

the world isn't going to be any better.

whether it be 10-100 years from now...

i don't think so.

some people fight to make this world a better place, and i SALUTE them for that, but honestly, this world is going down.

do you agree or disagree???

    As long as PJ keeps making new albums and going on tours, the world is destined to be a better place.

    The world will always have problems. As long as the entire world isn't turned into some fucking Sharia state, things could be worse.

    at the rate we are going, no. it seems it will have to get pretty bad before people are willing to make an effort.

    I think that once human beings are wiped off the face of the Earth, this planet has a shot.

    Agreed. Duty to have kids? Bullshit.

    good question. but kind of vague, as everyone has different meanings of better. some may look at technological advances as better, some may see them as being worse.

    are we better off now, than 100 years ago?

    Depends. White, rich, upper/middle class, religious straight people are no better off.

    ...This is how I feel. I think the world is pretty much how it's always been. It's always been riddled with wars and someone trying to conquer and rule the world....it just happens to be the U.S. who's attempting that right now. I'm sure they'll get close before being taken down then someone else can have their turn.

    Actually, the only difference I see between now and any other time in recorded history is the state of the planet. It's really fucking scary. I'm sure it will be turned around, but likely not until a few major disasters.

    LOL, if we wanted to conquer the world it would already be done.

    Yea...that makes sense...seems the only reason you guys can continue this fight for freedom is because you have allies...You can barely handle Iraq yet think taking the world would be no problem.

    Hope you were joking.

    I hope he was joking too because it's very far from the truth. America is an enemy to the world with only a few allies that matter.

    The only way America could conquer the world (besides nuking every continent but North America) would be if the greedy motherfuckers helped all of us lower class get rich off of war. The only people behind this war are the ones profitting somehow. If we all profit, we'd all be behind it. I mean, personally, I wouldn't, but the majority certainly would. We're a greedy people and can live with justifying just about anything to get gain.

    cause we're pussy footing around.

    we'll send chuck norris into B.C and have you singing the star spangled banner before dinnertime if you keep up that talk.

    The atrocities of today just seem to be reported better (and that's quantity not quality) than those of yesterday. Otherwise I think we've been on the straight and narrow since the renaissance.

    What is your plan for Iraq? Nuke it? Kill every man in sight? The moron in charge could really use some help.

    lmao....I saw Chuck on Yes, Dear the other day. It was very funny. Maybe we are pussy footing around, but even if we weren't Iraq wouldn't be a simple task. Conquering the world would definitely require a draft and I for one would follow Chuch to B.C.

    The 'decider' certainly needs help but the arrogant prick won't ever admit it and would never listen to anyone but dickless cheney.
