Re: Can the World be a Happy place?
I don't think the entire world can be a happy place. There is just too much [censored] going on in other parts of the world other than the U.S., where I'm from, places where constant war, poverty, hunger, disease, etc. exist to the Nth degree. Some of these countries, some continents, such as Africa, have little to no resources to help themselves without outside assistance. I remember hearing Oprah was one of their biggest contributors in terms of providing education for females.
Anyhow, it's practically impossible to ever think about having the entire world be happy at the same time. Lots of people will never be happy, even people who we may think have it all. I think it's important to be happy. As long as you're happy, then you can start helping others be happy. Maybe then, we can start some kind of global chain where we pass it on to the billions in the world. Like Pay It Forward.

Re: Can the World be a Happy place?
So you said my mother doesn't respect me? Damn that is harsh. How do you know that? You are able to infer close details of my personal relationship with my mother based upon a snippet of a conversation I posted in here? What makes you able to do that?

[/ QUOTE ] I could be wrong but I read your post and the only part I found interesting was the fact she did not try to change your mind. Did she do this because she wants her son to live with a negative view of the world? No mother would want that Did she do this because she has learned in the past you don't change your mind when she tries to debate with you? Good chance. I guess you could have been so convincing that she has changed her view. I hope not. I would not respect someone that I felt was incapable of changing his or her mind. So I assume your mom does not respect you. I do not think you are on the right or wrong side of this debate as it is a toughie. I do think the chance of you changing your mind if you happen to be wrong is very low. And I know for a fact that the world is an unhappy place when your mother does not respect you unhappy for you and for her. I'm not even happy about it!

Re: Can the World be a Happy place?
She did try to change my mind. She saw we were stalemated and gave up. You are projecting. How is your relationship with your mom?

Now you got me worried. I will ask her at xmas. You are good at this debate stuff. My world was happy before I entered this thread I'm going to leave now. Deep down don't you wish I could have won though? Both our worlds would be happy now if I had. [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]

Re: Can the World be a Happy place?
I would hazard a guess that OP is a college-aged person.
Thread reminds me of the old political saying: If you aren't liberal at 20, you have no heart. If you aren't conservative at 40, you have no brain.
