Society is pretty much going on a rapid downward spiral. Opinions being forced upon us, people generally becoming more filled with hatred as time passes. When I think about it too much I like to sit in the wilderness of my garden and have a cigarette 
thats cool. what can make society better tho? |  | |

hey guys, just wondering what your opinions on our society today are. like how do you cope with it.
mine is probably a bad one, like society is here to keep us safe and secure, i don't like the way society is going at all and is very hard to be heard and we all know whos fault that is. anyways the way i deal with it is thinking that we can live here and still make our own minds up and what ever we think we can think and that is one thing im trying to not let them get hold of. if they ever try and brainwash me into thinkin anything against my will which they try and do everyday through the media then i just escape it all and go camping if i can. anyways i want to hear about your opinons ive never really heard anyone elses before.  thanks for reading and posting, take it easy.
i think that to many people rely on society to get them by. there are exceptions of people that do need real help..... the ones that want everything handed to them or the ones that manipulate the system are the ones hurt the greatness of what a society can be. i don't know if there ever will be a fix to the issues with society, but taking care of yourself is a good way to start to fix the whole.

Hmmmmm good question. I think first of all everyone needs to slow down their pace of life. Since technology progressed people seem to have less and less time for one another and fail to communicate directly, which ends up in us all being less open minded. Basically we should just be more friendly and have more time for people we see in everyday life, and also be more accepting of different ideas, opinions, cultures etc. Maybe hippies had the best view on life :L | | | |

i am not sure about the hippies, i kinda feel they are part of the reason that society is hurting, because they were the group that started taking from society and not contributing back. i am sure there were exceptions.
i do agree they were more open minded and accepting of other cultures and opinions

well if you believe theres something wrong that makes you obligated to fix it in my mind, ignoring it and hiding out in the woods lol if there is a problem with society its people like you who allow it to happen meaning your to blame for not making you point heard.
Get out there and be a positive influence on others you never know you might start a trend although doing nothing then complaining is a good idea too lets all do that | | | |

i think exactly the same way, have you seen a film called waking life?. yer i think society makes us judge everyone. stereotyping is the worst of it all and is not the way forward it makes us look at someone and think things that we shouldn't, i don't think it's the way forward. | | | |

I think cynical politicians manipulate us by scare tactics. So that even though we live in a safe society, and are well off financially, we are paranoid and unhappy because we think we are constantly in danger.
We are fools if we let them mess with our minds.
i think thia qouls probably go away if we lived in the countryside, like somewhere in the wilderness and lived in tents and camped, lived off the fat of the land. dont you think?, we have to worry about "predators" but at least then we can live our lives in peace. kind of | | | |
