We aren't going to do anything? What do you suggest we do? Its to bad... but as much as some people would like to do something unless you have a couple hundred million dollars I doubt we can make a difference.

What pisses me of is why we allow so much to happen as the citizens of the world...the keepers of our world. We allow money the powerful to reign. Why is it that the Walmarts and the Gates etc. have billions of dollars and many people around the world suffer and die daily because they wish to to think they are supreme. ha ha I have more money than you attitude. This is unbelievable to me. To some who question that if I were in those shoes would I help....the answer is yes I would....how much does one person need?? Why is it that if our gov't and gov'ts around the world care so much about us that they charge outragous amounts for medical care to keep us healthy and alive? Why is it that the gov'ts keep the cures for fatal diseases undisclosed? Why do we fight and kill over such petty things as religion and race?? You say they aren't petty....why do you say that? They are petty when you think about the consequences of your actions towards them. I could go on a on about what pisses me off and ask why things are the way they are. My question to all of you is WHAT ARE WE GONNA DO ABOUT IT?? We made this world and keep it thriving so we must make the changes to make it a better place....if our gov't won't do it....then we MUST.

Well, there are people who are in power with great wealth that contribute part of their wealth to charities for the less fortunate. I know that Oprah Winfrey, who is now a billionaire, contributes part of her earnings to charities.

The way I understand it, this is just the system that people around the world choose to live their lives by, having money as the basis for transactions and trading of goods and services.
Yes, there are a lot of people less fortunate that do need help. I think that the best thing that we can do is educate ourselves about what is important and what can make a difference in our lives and in the lives of those less fortunate than us.
I think that Oprah does not have any known children.

So what have you done? Have you saved anyone from their our choices? We all talk the talk, but do we talk the walk. Paradox, isn't it?

I don't think that money is the root of all evil, but people's own minds. It's what you do with your money that counts.

Money has no real purpose.
Why do we need to work for money to pay for things produced by other people working?
If everyone had a job and all things were exchanged freely... no one would ever want... and no one would ever have more than anyone else.
If you at least worked nothing would be free it would be earned through actions. Then people could simply do exactly what they really would love to do in life. The advancements that we would have in technology and the knowledge that could be realized would be unbelievable and for the benefit of humanity and its eternity.

its very easy, if in todays world you have no money, you will be poor, you will be homeless, and you will be a burden to those with money. money isnt the problem its the people that have it. ........................ money is nothing more than paper. its what it represents. nothing is ever free.
