What Is The World coming To Today

Ch, one could argue that not much has really changed throughout the evolution of man. There has and will always be murders, backstabbers, immorality. It's very sad, but true. Humans have primal instinct. Some just can't control themselves...and that's very, VERY unfortunate.
I fear the world, too...and people in general...that's why I'm anti-social :D You can't trust anyone, but you have to live with it. Sad, but true.

Lindsey,
That is true all the crime that has been out here jealousy,hate and greed.Why is it that we try to change the world and make it a better place but it just keeps getting worse?We are always gonna have to live with it but it is a shame how one can be so cruel,I love everybody I don't hate anyone even if they make me mad I still love people but there are some people who can't maintain their composure and go out on a killing spree!And it's like if someone does wrong to them they have to take it out on the whole world and go and kill everybody!But hey those are the people who have the devil in them the ones who hate and get a thrill off of kidnapping little children and raping them them then killing them!Those are the people who have no remorse for doing what they do, the ones who try to plea insanity when it is all said and done ,but its not over because those are the same people who sometimes kill so many innocent people and then finally get caught!I feel for the families who have lost a love one in life over crimes like this and like you said we can't trust anyone but it shouldn't have to be like that!

I pray for these predators these aren't people these are animals!

It reminds me of that Al-Qaeda tape that was broadcasted in the television few days back. The close follower of Laden said they also want peace but as per their terms and conditions. I guess, if we follow their terms and conditions, the whole world will become puppets and it will lead to mass destruction.

Yes Ben,
But why does the United States Government make us suffer for other people's wrong doing?

You have to understand the concept of "Peace by Force". Children don't discipline themselves - their parents do.

The United States is the only super power in the world right now. We're the only country with a military that dominates the world's oceans and airways. And we're the only one's with a ground force that is backed by phenominal technology and reinforcment/intel that most missions cannot be stopped.

When something goes wrong it is our moral duty to do something about it, and becuase of our involvement we become the scapegoat for faults.

There is always a better way of doing things, but you need to step back sometimes and take a look at the big picture. A lot of people don't seem to grasp that these days.

Be it your family, your society, your church, your town, your state, your country or the whole world, there is a valid or invalid reason for everything. We can't do a fire fighting every time, we need to solve the cause of the fire and make sure we know the cause.

I wish the world could be as free as debtconsolidationcare Logo's Bird. As Psalms 55:6 says "I said, "Oh, that I had the wings of a dove! I would fly away and be at rest."

God give everyone the understanding and a mind of peacemaker.

Peace starts within yourself....that's my opinion. If you're stuggling with an inner battle, you're a ticking time bomb. I'm dealing with A LOT in my life, internal and external struggles...some I share, some I do not...but I don't let it get to me and I don't use other people as an outlet. Be friendly to your friends, neighbors, co-workers, etc. Have a grudge? Apologize? I did this the other day with someone and she accepted my apology...we let bygones be bygones and I couldn't be happier. If you have peace with yourself and your peers, that's getting pretty close to having peace in your life.

Lindsey....let's forgive and let's forget...

Im pretty sure Lindsey has forgave and forgotten and I think if we all have that moto Ben,then the world can be a better place I live my life to the fullest and try not to let what some people say or do side track me from being who I am!I am a kind hearted person but sometimes people will take kindness for weakness but I don't let that stir me wrong because I love all of god's children and as I stated before we are all god's children!
So basically what I am trying to say is we should all try to work together to love one another cause we only have one life to live!

chmartinbaby06, I appreciate your noble thought.

Keep going with such simple intentions. Trust me, you will always feel happier.

Thanks Ben,
I will keep that in mind and I am happier than I've ever been want to know why because everyday I thank the lord each day that I live to see another!

I to am thankful for all the things I have been blessed with.I have a wonderful supportive family.
They have gone thru good times with me,and now the bad times.I look forward to the day that I can pay my bills without bouncing a check.I wish that I had never heard of a payday loan.I try to look for the good in everyone,my family always calls me Swizerland,since I try to stay neutral most of the time.Sometimes I feel sad because I see so many like me in need it seems like no one cares.Its nice to come to this board to get support,I dont like to let my kids know quite how bad it is,there is no need to upset them.I know that when I dig my self out of this hole,I will do every little thing I can to help those in need.There are good people out there,sometimes they are just hard to find.I do believe I found some of them here.
God Bless you all!!!!!!

Amen to that twokidtwocat. I long for the day without a bounced check over my head. I try not to let the kids see what is going on with the financial situation. My 9 year old, has an idea but doesnt know the full aspect of the situation. funny how we dont realize how much kids really know.

Me too Rhonda and twokidtwocat,
I wish I could say that day has come!Soon it will be here for me so I don't have to write bounced checks anymore I just pray everyday and keep my faith alive with god to makes things better for me and I can't wait till that day comes that I don't have to worry about another struggle!

Careful planning and meticulous vigilance of funds, will lead to that day of little or no debt. All throughout life, you may have debt...be it from buying a car or house, etc...but there's a smart way to handle it all. And we all know PayDay loans aren't one of em :lol:

It's better to feel happy for what we have rather than blaming our fate for what we could have. The feeling of peace should come inside our soul first, and then only we can spread it around.

If from today everybody looks at things from other peoples' point of view, this world will be called heaven from tomorrow. How simple the process is, but tough to implement!

The first and foremost thing in the process of peace making is LOVE. We can never feel others' suffering, if we don't love them. So let's start loving others generously and pave the way of everlasting peace.

I used to think it'd be neat if everyone made the same pay, paid the same bills....then I realized that's a little thing called 'Communism."

Oops :lol:

Seriously, there is more good than bad out there. People IN GENERAL are good. And I think by good people fearing the world and being anti social is really bad. If you are a good person you should stand up and be out and make a difference because if all the good people stayed out of the way and in the shadows then bad would take over.

Ok now on to the bounced check convo...yeah bouncing checks is the worst feeling. Last month a bill was taken out of my bank on the 4th and it was supposed to be taken out on the 8th; we got payed on the 7th and so the money for the bills before the 7th ALL BOUNCED! $125 I had to pay the bank...at least none were returned.

I feel that you should have discussed it with your bank. They should not have allowed the debit. They are required to give efficient service in order to retain their customers.

Well the thing is...the bill that I payed was never set up for a specific date. I thought that it would come out on the 1st, but then as the months went by it was always the second week of the month, not the first. So Im not sure if I could do anything because technically they I guess usually take it out on the first, but hadnt been. I don't know. I guess it was partly my fault, but now we are going to call and set up a SPECIFIC date. NO MORE GUESSING.
