Instead of the government feedings money to pointless causes, we should focus more on the development of natural energy sources..

Like using hydrogen or even good ole h2o to fuel cars and other transportation or devices.


i agree, there is a bmw that runs on h2o

another thought,
we should stop exploring space right now, and start exploring underwater
do u know that we have only explored 50% of the us?
the other 50% lies underwater
also this would save a great deal of money

granted this is very true, but with modern technology the way it is....think about it. what DO they contribute? the most i can suggest is the odd one that becomes an instructor of some kind, and the majority that take up the small, albeit much needed oddjobs in our society. Really, what we should do is have preteens/teens doing these jobs, preparing them for the working world. perhaps integrate this into school somehow, as a job skills course or something.


Agreed.

A lot of teens are coming out of high school thinking life will be a breeze.

However, FEW if not ANY realize the full of extent of living YOUR life is...

3 of my own cousins have had to move back home and switch colleges because they could not handle the expenses..

They did not save up while they could..they did not have any jobs during high school.

In short, they were completely and utterly unprepared for the harshness of the outside world once outside of the basic schooling bubble.


/e: Just a random thing.

What about that Ice Hotel somewhere in Alaska?
If people can survive living in ICE, and actually pay to stay there...why don't more people populate the colder regions?
Other than bitter cold in winter, most arctic places do have B-e-a-u-tiful. And with clothing now-a-days I'm sure people could survive...though they would have to wear several layers of clothing ofc...haha

That's there own fault, they deserve nothing less than death.


That is something I will HAVE to disagree with. Were you perfectly capable of supporting yourself straight out of high school? If so, congrats...but my guess is "No."
They are young, naive, this does not mean they should await trial by sword...they may just need more time to adapt. They still have a long life ahead of them (what with the 79.5 average lifespan stated earlier). They could still support themselves in the long run, maybe they are just not ready straight out of high school? (18-19 years old)

So? They have to earn the right to live, it's not something given to you and isn't something that should be upheld by others.


ok that is just awful
that is pretty much saying a retarded person or a person who is paralyzed should not live because they cant do anything and people "waste" money on them

well what they do contribute is having their daughters and sons the state of mind of knowing that there is always some1 there for them, their parents
i dont agree with your next statement because i beielve they should be able to choose one or another because some children need to provide money for their family at a young age
others dont have to, luckly i was one of those kids who did not have to because i was given a fantastic education at a privite school and am now persueing a career in economics

I agree, they are a waste, why let them live? In fact, anyone with an IQ below 85 should be killed outright.

I know its awful.  I'm just saying it MIGHT come to that.

The health care bill that the U.S government is trying to pass right now, will basically do a surgery on a young healthy person, rather than spend the money to prescribe some cough medicine for an elder person.
Want to know why? Because in the long wrong they'll get more taxes out of the young person than the older person.

It's terrible, but that's what's happening RIGHT NOW in some European countries.


Thank you for clarifying, before i didnt not think we were on the right page
"History repeats itself"-Thucididies
history is repeating itself in a way because just like the older times, the average life span was like 30-34
if this bill passes then i feel that if the average life span right now is 79.5 it will lower to about 70
and that is not good at all

That's too far.

Everyone and everything deserves the chance to live life as best they can.

last thought of the night,
we should not use styrohpome (i dont know how to spell it)
but we should use something that we can recycle

Almost everything is recyclable, its just sometimes "The process isn't worth the effort"

There is a way to take the salt out of saltwater, but apparently its "too expensive" when we have a perfectly good dwindling supply of freshwater.


I'm done.

I'll check back tomorrow.
