to clarify my point, if someone is truly persuing owning their own business in some capacity and developing a specific passive income that they would consider to be wealth, put a plan together, and implement it, it will come to pass. dont sell human potential short. you're right it won't happen over night, but it will happen.
If that were true, then there would be millionaires left right and centre. The world doesn't work like that. Yes, some people do make good, and well for them, but everybody tries to make it, and the majority fail. It's a fact of life. Simply trying isn't enough. Everything has to go your way. Faith, god or Karma, call it what you like, but you still need it to make it.

I wanan ask who would this world war III be between?
Iran have just reactivated their nuclear power stations. Imagine this. America, takes the first step, assuming Iran is about to sell nukes to terrorists. Us soldiers invade, cities blown apart, lots of people die, similar to Iraq. The only difference is that Iran has nukes. In a fit of rage they send one your way. Before it hits, the US retaliates. Other countries see an opportunity. North Korea makes a swipe at the US. India launches at Pakistan, claiming that Pakistan was hiding terrorists. Pakistan retaliates. Israel invades Palistine. This goes on and on. This is just one example how escalation can wipe out the majority of the world, all because of one nation doing what it's leaders thought was right.
And the UN is impotent. They do nothing. When a war breaks out, they'll have committees for about 3 months and then decide to fine those involved!

sure, our government is not the best, but it sure as hell beats everyone elses, in my opinion, it's better than any country's government that i can think of.
In fairness, there are many better systems all over the world. Each has it's pros and cons. If you lived in Cuba you'd claim that was the best. If you lived in North Korea you'd do the same (although, probably because they'd kill you if you didn't!).
Oh, and I love the new sig!

Who has been punished for their opinion here? We have liberals, conservatives, ,moderates,anarchists in this nation and even on this thread, none of them are being imprisoned. Back in the day, a woman feeling she wanted to show her face or be independant in several middle eastern countries could be stoned just for that reason
Infairness that's the way their religion works. It's extreme by western standards, but Christians worship a corpse nailed to two planks of wood. Questioning peoples beliefs is an entirely different thread more suited to the TMF where everyone argues
😀
Sure. I think the mere fact that Nazism could be discussed here in Germany when its thought of one of our darkest periods proves that. I mean you cant discuss Nazism unless youre damning it in the USA. Here we have a Nazi party that is rapidly gaining power becaue we miss the brotherhood of it. Try writing a pro-Nazi letter to the american papers...hell try writing a pro-Nazi thread on this site and watch how quickly itll be swept under the rug. So all this US cheerleading about freedom of speech is just a bag of wind in my opinion. If someone were to say something positive about Bin Laden or an american enemy hed have the infamous "Homeland Security" up his ass faster than a hemorrhoid. Im glad I dont live in america or id have the US officials on me just for mentioning things like these. Americans are living in fear and the only way they can remain safe is to resort to much of the cheerleading like this thread has with cliches like "good ol' USA" and "old glory flyin'" I dont blame you guys really...if I lived there id be singing the scar spangled banner while nervously looking over my shoulder as well.
And yep, that's trolling!
