The truth is, I'm just plain stupid at explaining myself in one hit; my best hope is a conversation. My intelligence, for what it's worth, reside elsewhere. What he said... +1 Indeed, stop buying shit we don't need...

Being obtuse is a great way to dig through the knowledge of understanding, and a great way to disguise one's knowledge... I have no idea...

Panorama for me...

I'm sorry that seems a little aggressive, I forget you're new to the forum; thanks for the neg rep, whoever it was... Only if you chose to spend more money, a privilege only afforded to people with an excess; and they tend to spend more money on protecting their money. It's a curious concept (money), it has no value, yet it's all we seem to care about... Two now!!! That's rubbing it in... 😣 🤣

Well, I have to walk to my local shop and carry home what I need to eat; and if I'm cold I throw on a blanket; how many tons does that equal? I wouldn't expect you too... The neg rep; is a badge of honour; thanks...

Indeed: If you have enough money, you have a choice...

Yet, you've missed my point... Reducing your carbon footprint, is a red herring; perpetrated by those who want to maintain the status quo and "Stop trying try to gather more money than you one can spend..." Do you mean the low income households: Who don't have a car. Who struggle to find enough money to be both, warm and enough food to eat. Who can't afford to buy shit they don't need. ??? What's tough, is for a middle-class person to look in the mirror... 😉

We need a fundamental change in the economy, for technology to save us; but do what you can to help, for instance: Stop buying shit you don't need... Stop buying more than you eat, only to throw away the excess... Stop trying to gather more money than you can spend... Though I fear Aurelien Barreau may have a point, history provides many examples of it happening on a local scale; but now we have a global economy.

It's not like a culture, to describe a disaster...

What do you think? January in 2020 was the month where media start to talk more about virus etc.I don't know how to look at this whole situation, and need your rational look on this. Government doesn't control culture, however much it tries too; what makes you think a conspiracy theory, would have any more success???

I think it highlights the start of the pendulums return swing.

90% of the children I grew up with, were homed by the state; then the state sold (out) 90% of the home's; in England that's why "big city rent is so expensive"...

Nice post +1 Change what you can, enjoy what you can't... And easily manipulated, when they're not understood... +1 BTW

Shelter is a basic need, and in a just society, rental costs should be affordable for all; before it's subjected to market force's.

What do you mean, by profit?

LOL +1 I wonder what a job is worth, without a farmer???

I thought I'd said tit-for-tat goes wrong when we demand revenge; and pluck out more than a tat...

Revenge wants more pain in reparation, to compensate for our limited perception of 'their pain'; it's that perception that spiral's down to blindness; not tit-for-tat... Indeed, my bad, I suppose I mean 'natural justice'... A bully doesn't intend malice, at least they're not born that way and they don't see themselves as monster's; but maybe, with one less eye they will see with far more clarity... I absolutely would agree with you, in an ideal world such as Eise suggested; but I don't live there, I live in a world where the criminal is made to pay, with no chance of redemption; except in a dream, where only the elite can hope too see...

Indeed, There's been a few; Nelson Mandela springs to mind...

Only when tit-for-tat, means two eyes for one...

I'm sorry, it made sense when I was aboard that train of thought, fortunately I managed to jump off... 😣 Isn't an eye for an eye, a perfect justice? For the family??? When is justice only good for you?

For most, seems optimistic...

But not from suffering... All life end's, what can we learn from that?

Society as a whole... Which makes Eise's model an ideal; justice is to benefit everyone, even giving the guiltiest of the guilty a chance of redemtion. But in a country like the UK/USA, where rehabilitation is almost non-existent and is indeed a lose-lose for the criminal, I think the benefit of justice, in this type of society, is to inform society why it's wrong; I think capital punishment is more efficient, than throw away the key; they're both out of sight, but one is still alive and capable of suffering. Therefore, when society realises its mistake and there's no chance of redemption, with capital punishment; it's more likely to change, rather than pat ourselves on the back for a job well done... Haven't you heard? I'm very ineloquent... 😪

An eye for an eye only becomes vengeful, when we demand two eye's...
