Great post with lots of true facts, but, how do we solve at least part of these problems, since it will be impossible to solve them all.
How do you stop children from becoming bullies and be friendly with others?
How do you stop kids from leaving their cell phones for an hour, without freaking out?
How do we stop the MSM from creating, instead of giving us the news?
Where can we find some more Walter Cronkites, to give us the news?
How do we stop young Muslims from getting radicalized? Their parents were not like that.
How can we teach politicians, journalists and bankers to be honest and stop lying?
When can we stop with open borders, forced on us by Liberal politicians, against the will of the people?
When will we in Europe and America make a law to force all Muslim Imams to give sermons in that countries language, instead of in Arabic?
When will all Western countries ban the Niqab in public? After all, if I were to walk into a bank or some public places wearing a helmet I could be arrested right away.
So many questions... not enough answers.
All good questions. Here is one simple answer from a super innovator.
https://www.brainyquote.com/quotes/quotes/j/jimihendri195397.html
1. Bullies will always exist. You had them, I had them our grandfathers had them. It starts at home. The family unit is a fucked up. No solution, but when I was in school, you respected teachers and peers and they used to paddle misbehaving kids, until some dumb people decided that was too harsh.
2. Smart phone/Cell phones are a bane to all human interaction and communication. Email for that matter too, I used to talk on the phone, now nobody answers the phone. Kid's need to get into sports or music or something postive. Parents are to blame for the current entitlement generation. These idiots teachers and admins with no graded report cards is ignorant. Just showing up to eat their lunch and get a pass fail grade.
3. The Corporations run the media. Small business is being crushed by changes- Google and Amazon are not our friends. They have so much influence, and it's been fed like a drop of poison each year, not enough to kill you, but make you insane after 20+ years. No solution, we are cooked.
4. Walter Cronkite- what an icon. He's gone forever I am afraid. At least the internet allows anybody a forum on youtube, abeit some real tools. Instead the traditional airwaves, Blabbermouths on both sides drone on and on on the same spiels nightly. The hate against our elected president is unprecedented in my lifetime. Solution is to tune out.
5. The current parents are of another generation than before. All they have seen for years is war. The radicalized issue is where one grows up with no hope, don't learn the language or want to be part of the culture of their new homes. Then their fears are manipulated into hate against those who have something of material value (House, car, better food). The French ghettos- the french are a closed society, it's their fault imo, so is Germany- so politicians they allow "outsiders" in the border, but also are at fault for not patronizing their business' or giving the ones deserving a job. I have spoken to a German business owner who hired refugees and says their work ethics are culturally incompatible with german business. They want to clock out at 2pm. Work 5 hour days. Maybe in the brutal heat of the ME, that's what they do.
Inclusion on both sides is the solution. The Volunteer organizations and side entities of Gov't need to reach out and provide some sort of job opportunity even if it is make-work, since they sit around and have nothing to do but feel sorry for themselves.
6. Liars all. Gov't's, Politicians, Bankers and Journalists have an agenda. And it does not you or I or include the normal working person, it is to extract as much money from you as they can for their own agendas and power. Same with Big Pharma, Monsanto, Big Health care. I remember when Hospitals were run by Church groups, where people really cared. Not anymore. No easy solution.
7. Open Borders is being worked on. I think that might be a viable solution at least in the States.
8. Sermons in English/German/French? Forcing languages in mosques- that will never happen. The congregation is most likely all arabic speakers, as I recall Korean Baptist churches where I was from, they spoke native language. Gov't should not be involved in religion. US Constitution is separation of Church and State.
9. Entering a bank, wearing sunglasses, a helmet or mask is strictly prohibited and enforced where I live.
The idea of wearing a religious mandated scarf is equal in principle to wearing a halloween mask- it's sole purpose is to hide your identity. I see Austria banned them recently. This has a solution.
I believe the speed at which news is transmitted and absorbed is the bane of our current existence. Information travels too fast, life goes on too fast. Everybody wants instant everything- look at the obesity problem- fast food- Oh McDonalds add them to the list with Big Pharma.
