  I recently come to see that the world has no moral absolutes and that is considered bad is up for the own person's interpretation.

  Living in the western "rich" world we are spoiled and don't understand harships! Agree?

  just saw a documentary on bolivia how a woman gets up while it's dark, puts a barrel on her head and walks 10 miles to get water for the day from a filthy well we would not swim in!....thats what 1 billion or more people have to do everyday!

  they also scavenge for a hand full of rice or dirty flour...meanwhile, i buy 4 litre "springwater" and run down to the supermarket to pick what fruit, vegetables, meat, i want to eat today.. our kids want nike shoes and ps 3 while there kids need food and medicine.....and clean water!

  i jump in a nice car and complain about petrol prices, while they walk many miles a day to work and home......i think we are lucky but don't know it, just born on the good side of the world.. agree?.

  This is true we do in the United States enjoy a high standard of life. Whereas in other countries people experience civil war and awful poverty.

  Surviving the Economic Depression

  by metatron in

  first, let's clear something up: for many people, it's no longer a question of recession - the depression is here and may last for many years!.

  this could be true if you live in many parts of europe, or africa or ...... michigan!

  let the 'experts' quibble over definitions, to me jobless rates of 15 to 20 % with little hope of change signals a depression where you live.. some suggestions:.
