I have noticed a lot of people complain. I suppose this is just part of life. People complain and I must suffer through it. I consider myself a patient person. However, I can not stand people who ramble on about an issue yet offer no solution.
I am interested to know about your forum, community, city, or country. One of the best ways to learn about other cultures is to be able to relate with certain aspects of that culture. Every person and place has some sort of problem.
What would you change if you could? What law would you create, amend, or abolish? What is the source of turmoil where you exist? Sometimes, it is good to vent, but I am looking for something that resembles a constructive response. Anything come to mind?
Good thread(in my opinion at least); maybe it would have been better placed in the "Religious and Politics" section.
In my not so great post-communist country Romania(God, I'm such an attention whore for always saying this line!) the best thing that could turn out false 20 year old democracy into a real one, would be a mass plague among the politicians.
It's not that I hate them, it's just that they're the exact same guys(give or take) that were ruling form the shadows from before the 1989 revolution. Well there was this fanatical ruler how put all of them in place, and did some economical and political advances for the country at human costs but he was executed and his reign ceased.
The problem is that all the current political and economical leaders at the moment have fully lived the commi years. Their old mentality mixed in with a fucked up democratic and capitalistic one, created only shelf-interested leaders.
The nation is fairly stupid and has no real idea of what a democratic state should be like, and all because this was only a ferry tale during their childhood.
The thing my country need is a breath of fresh air, a new generation that knows the true meaning of moral and politic values. The old generation(well most of it) understood human rights as:"We can do what ever the fuck we want"
"We can steal because the commis wanted us to respect the rules"
"We can get into international debt, because the commis wanted us not to have any, and they were 100% evil so they're wrong about international debt being something bad"
"We shouldn't worry about earning a living because it's the state's responsibility to oofer us jobs and financial security, just like they do abroad"
"We should import all our culture and dismiss any of our own's, because the commis said that we have good cultural values and they were worng!"
Et cetera.
The main problem is that the new generations thinks it's ok to be immoral like these guys(I'm not saying that all of them have been immoral, but since the revolution most people had a 180 degree change in all their aspects upon life, either good or bad).
I think I overdid it again, and when off track...
The only way to save this country would be only by investing in education. Laws that would benefit the students and teachers. I don't see any other way out of our hell whole considering we sold out our electrical companies, our banks and firms, our resources, and any little that we had just to make more money for the state budget(do you know what we did with that money? the politics spent it on roads that didn't last, on new salaries for them, on poor health care, and on other stuff; then they said, ops no more money to fix things: solution sell+international loans, rinse and repeat)
