If the OP said he wanted to fly to Africa and help teach them to basket weave I would applaud him for it.   When he suggests taking every dime from the military and giving it to those who "need it" I take offense.

Spend one minute looking at government aid or even charitable aid and see the misuse and just outright theft of it and it makes you sick.


Are you saying that you take offense to my philosophical video? I'm a medically retired Nightstalker and I am NOT suggesting that we "take every dime from the military and give it to those in need". That concept would be far in the future if we ever reach it as a species.

Im not just talking about the US military. Its just we are the country that comes to mind when the military is involved. I know foreign aid doesn't really work and that hardly any of it actually get to those in need.

For the philosophy in this video to work it would take a complete 180 shift in our global conscience or a "golden age" to achieve it and that is a long ways away.

If by long ways away you actually mean never, then you're right.

You are basically word for word parroting empty headed socialist drivel.

You may not think of yourself as a socialist, but you believe much of the same nonsense that they do.

People will always have selfishness, violence, insecurity, and hate. No matter how much you give them, you will never fill the hole that's in them. Individuals may transcend this, but as a species, we will not.

















This philosopher says that the have's should be giving to the have not's. Is the assumption then that the have's don't have their own problems? Would you say that the German's before WW2 lived in the same conditions as some of the countries in Africa? Certainly they were impoverished and their discontent gave rise to a brutal dictator, but they were leaps and bounds better than what is in certain areas today. Yet their society still produced some very bad people.










Shelter and Food =/= Peaceful Existence. It is part of the equation but not the end all be all.

















I don't know what the answer is, but just "helping people out" is not going to change the world. You are looking at the symptoms and not the cause of their condition.











BTW, OP what is more important to you, the end's or the mean's? Was removing Saddam better as we believe Democracy is the most fair way to rule on principle, or was the stability he offered better than the stability we have now? Serious question, I am not being sarcastic.

Personally I believe the stability with him there was better. I think far more Americans & Iraqis died because of it then what he would've done to his own people.
