humm... sounds like environmental influence is the primary reason for this
topic...
It depends where you are in the world and what you choose to experience. There
are places that are peaceful, then there are places that are morbid. Places
where people live happily and where people are pissed.
- stealing: usually caused by greed, some do it for survival. Have you ever
craved for something really badly?
- murder: usually caused by some emotional disorder, or greed. Why would you
ever kill someone?
- terrorism: usually caused by some radical thinkers, there are many reasons.
Think about this though, what would cause you to become a terrorist in the first
place? Unfair conditions?
- drugs: usually to escape reality, people are dissatisfied with things in life
or just wish to feel higher. Drugs are in the medicine world too, but most only
alleviate symptoms, not cure diseases; thus, drugs are controlled and
uncontrolled substances that people consume to generate a response or degenerate
a response in the body.
The reason you choose the word "stoop" and "down" is because
you look down on people that commit the acts you deem negative. Thus, you are
now the victim of circumstance and society's innate dwelling over the populous'
behavior. The one thing people do most often is the easiest, just talk about the
ongoings of life and it's predicaments rather than trying to educate themselves
through experience and understanding. The quick and easy fix for this does not
exist, it's generally not understood well by the majority.
I hope that makes sense and everyone can derive where I went with the argument.
If you look at the world globe you would already know that each country has a
different color coding saying that they are not one nation.... it would be
embarrising if aliens came down to find out that we are not yet united because
if we were then it would be one color right?
The world changes almost 24/7 and that life is challenging for most of us whiel
its hard for the rest to cope with the whole technology boost in the world... as
people get richer, more people die and when countries economy goes down then you
know that crime goes up .... i think it was Sarjevo or a north middle eastern
country whos prime economy is actually kidnap and ransom because there was no
goverment or Somalia where is full anarchy. People are people because its in out
nature to survive or get higher up in the fod chain, theres no stopping
it!
But were just one person to begin with, if you want to change the world then
help as much as you can in your own country or neighborhood... or join one of
those "save the world" groups who do that job almost everyday.
Well...if you look aroudn you'll notice that except for a continuos change in
some points the world remains the same...so if you look at the people and
observe them you'll notice that they changed from worse to worst or they remain
the same...bitter,selfish oh and most of all hypocrites...and when you think you
find someone reliable that person might prove to be the same like others!What is
even more frustrating is that people like me try to be sincere and love the
others but with all that for the others they seemed to do everything wrong and
no one appreciates them!So I don't only feel unappreciated and little in this
big world but also alone!Even if I have my family around osmetimes is not enough
because I just feel overwhelmed by the hate in people's hearts!Why do I have to
care so much for others...I'm simply lame and stupid they don't even care if
tomorrow something happens to me,why do they have to put so many masks and
act,pretend to be someone they aren't!I am not antisocial at all and can make a
lot of friends but still I don't feel them like friends because they only look
for you on interest~_~!My idea isn't to offend anyone my idea simply was to meet
a friend,a true friend,to be happy,to be able to say "I'm happy",to
love and to be loved!In a world liek today there is no room for true feelings
anymore I guess it is a world full of superfical,fake things and like it isn't
enough there is also these fight between people...like I said hate that
degenarates into wars!Bye!

Oh and sorry to hear about the things that happened to you...hmm just like I
said what is happening ot the world is the increase of feelings like
envie,hate,fake(should I say better hypocrisy) and money simply steal people's
hearts and minds!
I really don't think the crime rates have changed that much it's just that it
seems to be reported more so it seems like the rate has gone up when it probaly
hasn't gone up that much at all.

its just society i guess, and the way we've been brought up, bringing us in a
never ending downwards spiral ;P
eh i'm not going to try to think about it too much
just find my own happiness in my own way
thats my human selfishness
and if any one tries to stop that i'll do whatever i can go make them miserable
^_^
What do you mean happened? The world's always been like this. They didn't call
em the dark ages for nothing. Things are actually getting better. Less people
are starving, fewer wars going on, no real territorial disputes among nations,
no bubonic plagues killing 1/3 of the world's population. Your great
grandparents would call you a sissy for sitting in your big comfy chair, bag of
cheetos, talking with people all over the planet, whining about how bad the
world has gotten. Do you realize how much less likely you are to get away with a
crime now than any other time in the past? I mean you do realize there was
slavery going on 150 years ago right? Yeah the world's really taken a turn for
the worse....
Seems like Plunkies' right. It has always more or less be the same thing. Hey,
even during the Roman Empire you had people complaining that foreigners from the
borders of the empire were taking the jobs of good Roman citizens...

Are you kiddig me? Most older people I know say the world has gotten worse than
it was in their day. Why they remember a time when they didn't have to lock
their doors...etc...etc...
You get the idea. Fewer wars? Are you kidding me? There has been a never ending
stream of them since WW II ended, most are just small gurellia action that no
one will ever heard about because the media just thinks of them as unimportant.
Unfair conditions are every where so tell me though why in an oil rich country
like Kuwait every one lives like kings, yet in Iraq or Iran the people don't?
How is that our fault? I certainly can't live like a king. And just because it's
hard to get away with a crime in this day and age hasn't stopped people from
commiting them, and for your information slavery is still alive and well in this
day and age. Does the term indentured servant hold any meaning for you?
.. I agree with you.. you could really say the world sucks.. bu twell.. we can't
do anything.. so just try to enjoy the good things ok?... even if you really
don't like it ( I really don't like it eather)
The world is the way it is because poeple like us live in it.
We are all weak, then again some are weaker than others.
Yeah, there are 9 million traded poeple a year in the world, mostly sex trade.
150 years ago isn't that far back, since year 1 we've been doing it and most of
the countries in the world are built on the annihation of other races, not just
America (for the america bashers) but the entire old world and all the ancient
states were built on robbing and destroying the original inhabitants.
Rome granted citizenship to poeple in all provices of the empire, not just the
white latin poeples, Racial superiority wasn't a big deal back then, Romans
prided themselves on being from the home territory but all were welcome to join
the legions and administation. Noone cared about foriegners unless they were
eating all their food and burning down all their settlements...
Quote: Are you kiddig me? Most

Uh duh. They're old. They remember the good times when the media didn't
constantly assault us with scare stories and murder investigations and terrorist
threat levels. They forget about the whole civil rights movement and kennedy
assassinations and that hitler thing, I forget what that was about.
And I didn't say the world was perfect. I said it was always like this and it's
gradually getting better. The standard of living keeps rising, people are living
longer, medical care is getting better. Doesn't change the fact that people are
jerks but nothing is going to fix human nature so deal with it.
As for the romans it wasn't all pretty red togas, public baths and eating
grapes. There were constant threats of riots and uprisings. Most of the normal
people lived in cramped, dirty conditions, trash flooding the street. A single
fire could destroy thousands of homes and kill hundreds. Barbarians a constant
threat. War on foreign lands just to keep thier own military from taking over
Rome itself. What do you think the collosseum was for? What better way to forget
that your life sucks than to watch some other guy get mauled by a lion. Oh and
the Goths would like to hear more about this Rome not thinking racial
superiority was that big of a deal, maybe they can avoid that whole Adrianople
fiasco.
The world really hasn't gotten worse. Its just now we can all see everything
happening in alot more detail. Add in the fact that bad news seems to make great
ratings and you get a huge influx of information that is blown way out of
proportion. Take everything the media or anyone else says with a "grain of
salt" since people tend to exaggerate (and in some cases understate) info
for a variety of good and bad reasons.
Man does nothing because it is right or wrong, good or evil, but because he
can.
And sometimes he does what he must to survive.
Sadly, the only way to survive is to pursue more power, to dominate others. No
wonder when god got angry he cursed us to walk the earth!
We often cling to numbers. Just because this is "21st" century does
not mean the world is better. This century is a continuation of the last.
Good and Evil are relative.
It depends on the point of view.
But the world is goign insane indeed.
I sometimes feel like putting a stop to certain people that behave unfair.
And i actually had several fights in the last year cause certain people their
behaviour is just unaccepteable.
Because we are human and not perfect and therefore bound to make life-ruining
mistakes. Each of us has to choose which path we will take in life. Some of us
learn from other people's mistakes. Some of us have to learn from our own
mistakes. Some of us are incapable of learning either way, very often with
horrifyingly fatal consequences. It's up to each and every one of us to make the
right decision for ourselves and stick to it, come hell or high water.
what has happened to the world?
you can always see stealing, murder, terrorism, drugs, etc. what drives people to do such things? what makes people around stoop down in such a way?
i experienced being robbed in my home back when i was 12. i have a cousin who went on crack... god what is this? why do people do these things?
I don't know but it seems like the world is become more evil by the second.
it's the way people are yo u have to face it i guess..
humm... sounds like environmental influence is the primary reason for this topic...
