Rich get richer
Our current economic situation is an example of why greed is bad. Lots of rich people have and are profiting from this mess, which they mostly created, while the rest of us are going to be devastated, or worse. We’ve been hoodwinked. Greedy individuals have manipulated the economy into a situation in which everything around us can be purchased at a fraction of its value. For one thought on...

Prepare to vague.
I'm so incredibly sick of email as identity!
Email was never intended to be used for identity purposes. Please, everyone stop using it to identify accounts. Sure, use it to register for accounts but never make it the account identity. Email addresses change. In the future, hopefully, no one will even have a fixed, static email address, each address being one-time use.

But if the criticism...
It's discussions like these...

There are no prejudices here. No one cares who the person is, just that it is someone that can use a helping hand. And people step up. Beautiful....
I'm never voting for fear, war and hatred
I’ll never vote for a candidate that believes starting a war is a solution. When human lives are involved, the best defense is not a good offense. With that mentality, we should just kill everyone and there’ll be peace. At most, the best defense is just the presence of a strong offense, which should be the UN and only the UN.
Will you stand by and let one man pummel another on the...
