Every night you can turn on the evening news and for a good 25 minutes are horrified by what people do. Rape, Beatings, Murder, Thieves and parents who kill their kids. I know not everyone is like that, I am not. But I also look around and there are a handful of good people in the world but that part of people seems to be hidden under fear maybe. Fear of being that nice guy and giving a hand to someone in-need who then turns around to rob Rating: 5

I dunno man... I see a lot of scumbags but that might have something to do with where I live.

I think women are pretty heartless.

[looseends]

...and that's why we smoke weed and there's women on this planet.

The reason people are like that is because of how the world is, the world is too much about money, you need money to do stuff nowadays and people with money get respect.

The world is becoming more and more fucked up everyday, if the governments opened their fucking eyes to what is really going on then the world would be a better place.

The only person you have any real power over is yourself. In order to make the world a better place You must be that person, live that life. And hope that it spreads, like a sickness In the end it all boils down to how well you Love imo

If you don't like rants don't read this.

I'm fucking sick of people blaming EVERYTHING on the fucking government. I'll admit the govenrment can do better, but how does people being good at heart have anything to do with the fucking government?!?!?! Why don't you take some fucking responsibility for YOUR actions and be and active member in YOUR community to improve the human condition. As much as you would like to think its us versus them we are all in this together. So quit using the govenrment as a scapegoat for your own short comings its time to man up and make the difference yourself or shut the fuck up.

I think people are essentially good. I mean, if you take the rudest, most selfish person you can find and take them for a joint (or whatever), just the two of you, then you'll find that without all the pressure to 'perform' and act up in front of anyone this person will be just as kind and understanding as the rest of us. But that only applies to one type of person - the type of person who's negative behaviour (for want of a better term) is a way of boosting their own ego, showing off, etc. When talking about people as a whole, then I still think that people are essentially good - it is the system and the way we have been running things that generally corrupts and distorts peoples sense of what is right and wrong, what is normal and what is abnormal. Take a person out of this environment and I think everyone just wants to eat, sleep and fuck.

mono,

You are right, we are in this together.

The government needs to beware of this fact. It seems that I have to fight unjust laws all the time because the Government is getting paid or does not want to look bad or like they were wrong so instead of doing the right thing FOR THE PEOPLE the government defends its unjust ways to look like they are right. Sure the government has many good things about it but it has many bad things as well. To get these things changed so that laws and the way of life is better, we the people must bitch and complain until are voice is heard and the government has no where to go except to grant the wishes OF THE PEOPLE.

America would be so much better if the government sucked up its pride and admit when it is wrong and change the laws so that, "example" a person who needs medical Marijuana can use it without going to jail. So many other things the government is wrong about but being a Marijuana forum I thought that example was best used here.

The government is great, do not get me wrong but needs much improvement. If they spent the Billions and Billions here at home instead of in Iraq, Africa and so on, I think America would be better of having that money spent here in America.

It makes me so happy to see a mother of 2 on welfare, I am so happy when I see a homeless person on the street, I am so glad we lock up people who still stuff because he or she was trying to make some money to eat or pay the bills. So much work needs to done at home before we save the world. If you broke your arm and leg, would you fix it or would you spend the money to help an Iraqi get a job? The government tryâ??s to do well around the world but it should be fixing its own issues at home.

Sort of like when we give a friend advice, break up with her, she is no good for you. Those words are so easy and it is a clear choice but when it is you, sometimes we are blind and do not listen to our friends and stay in a fucked up relationship. The government is BLIND.

The government tells us it is wrong to get in debt we cannot pay back and has made it harder to file for bankruptcy but the government is trillions in debt that I wonder if it can ever pay it in full? The government can tell us how to live and act but those words do not apply to the government.

Mono, you cannot write negative things on the forum but it is ok if I do.

People you cannot do this but the government can, wtf?

You cannot smoke Marijuana, even if you need it for medical reasons.

It's just a BS government and I bitch because I am part of the group who wants a better America and fight to have unjust laws and ways changed for the good of the people and not for the good of the government. Our founding fathers did not have the vision of America we live in today and it seems to become more like a dictatorship ran by a group known as, the government.

Project, I agree with everything you said. What I state orginally still stands, stop blaming the government for EVERYTHING. Like I said the government can do a better job with a lot of things (marijuana laws included) but the human condition is something that needs to be addressed in OUR day to day happenings. Spread the love so to speak. No matter what rules you put in place your not going to change peoples hearts without first showing a more compassionate way of life, and then bringing others to your compassionate way of life. Say all the negative shit you want on a this or any message board. I know I'm going to. At the same time, make sure what you are saying makes sense, your anger is well founded. Just some thoughts as always feel free to disagree.

[ProjectEight]

Right, I agree.

Well is it not hard to follow the rules of society if you cannot get a good job because you got busted for smoking Marijuana and no good company will hire you or you cannot get government help because you got busted for Marijuana?

Sure, that was the persons fault for breaking the law. Shame on him or her for smoking Marijuana, life should be hell for them and his/her family should suffer. People have the instincts to survive; if they have no way out they will steal, lie, cheat and kill in some cases to survive. On this point, the government is the fuck up here. They would rather kill you and your family than help you with a drug problem or take Marijuana for medical reasons, if Marijuana is really a problem? Put all Marijuana users in PRISON instead of getting the people treatment.


But so many people are raised in poverty in America and funds are cut back every day to support the world. We tell our kids they can be whatever they want to be but it is very hard for such a young mind to do so when raised in poverty or parents who do not act like parents. If everyone grew up the same and had a fair shot, yeah it is on that person to be all he/she can be. People adapt, they become what society and the way of life has thought them.
