Why do governments spend more money to find, buy n improve technology to kill people than to make them live?
Whn
ppl are dieing of hunger, of diseases, why does the US, CANADA, UK,
CHINA, AUSTRALIA, JAPAN, VENEZULA, RUSSIA and all countries of this
world where “people†of the same human race live invest for guns,
warships etc. to kill and draw blood of their own race speaking a
different language, religion or skin color. Is it wrth it? Why do we do
it? Why do we have to let this continue? Ppl die without food, without
medicine. Isn’t it time we undrstnd? Why can’t we all be like
brothers and sisters and share this world together? Would it ever happen
and when do we decide to make the change? Humans breathe, they eat,
laugh, cry, love, understand, hate, forgive. Every human lvng and dead
has done so at least 1’ce in their lives. Why can’t we make a change
and for change make humanity #1? Spend so that ppl get to live longer,
happily with all their material, social and spiritual needs satisfied?
Why does medicare comes at a cost and bullets to heads for free? Is
violence the wepon to quell violence? If I'm in a different opinion, is
elimination the answer? What has happened to compassion? I don't want to
foreget 9/11 but how many people killed would capture osama? Are we
really there yet? Is this working? Is the world any safer? At least a
bit? Now are the freaking terrorist not trying to behead others anymore?
Have we stopped them? Are we effective? Am I asking too many questions?
I don't belive that once osama's stopped the world would become any
safer at all. I think if we try more compassion and love, kindness,
forgiveness, we might stop the violence. Love and peace comes only
bythemselve... through love and peace.
No gun is powerful enough to bring peace on earth, no technology advance
to do the trick. Peace is a decision we have to make, at heart, in
action.
Is billions and billions of dollars on medicare and many more on killing
an answer or an illusion?....

It's
true that governments do spend too much on weapons. But I wonder if
they spend more on that than on other things. Do you have the numbers?

dead people can't blow you up

The
Kennedys tried to do just that.Bring peace to the world and bring
justice and freedom to the people of the United States but The Skull and
Bones club had them both assasinated so they could conquer the world
for oil and profit and its still going on today.

Couple
of things.
(a) Some of the nations where innocent people are dying from hunger,
disease, etc., have been screwed by their own government. Foreign
nations have given them food, water, money, etc. Ay, but this never
makes it to the people. Instead, governments have used the food and
water to feed their army, money to buy themselves private jets, etc. So,
its their own fault for letting their people die. Not ours. So stop
asking for so much money!
(b) At what cost does this come to us? You are talking about lending out
an insane amount of money worldwide, enough to change how we live
ourselves. Not every nation is as well off or as rich as it seems. Every
nation has a debt, and its not everyones fault. Blame the rich! They
are the ones getting richer, while the poor get poorer.
(c) World is constantly at war. There seemingly is one threat after
another of an impending war, and the only way to survive is to arm
yourself.
(d) Sadly, it makes better news. More people are keen on hearing about
war, military, violence, and all that stuff, then good humanitarian
acts.

Becuase they are run by men who MUST have bigger,
badder "toys" than anyone else in the world to "prove" thier status. If
Women ran the countries, more money WOULD be spent on Humanitarian
issues than creating war, because women VALUE their children and aren't
interested in sacrificing thier lives for the sake of lining thier
pockets with the almighty dollar.
6 :
Because the
people,who are in power always feel insecurity in themselves and such
feeling motivates them to develop the technology of destruction,hence
the government under control of such people spend more funds.
7 :
Because little children loves playing with computer and video games on planet earth.
So they always ask daddy to buy the latest models that is available on the streets on planet earth.
When they were at loss with loss of I.Q. - human intelligent.
Could no longer outsmart another living human kind on planet earth.

This
is history. Nations do not trust each other. Innocent people are
sufferers.
Self interest of rulers, to gain superiority over other nations and fear
of attack has compelled nations to pile weapons more than enough to
destroy the universe. The problem is too complex and in near future
there is no hope that governments will come to senses.

The
goal of any political leader is the protection of his people. This is a
mind set that has been a part of politics since people first began
building walls around their settlements. To overcome this human ideal
is no small task. 5000 years of semi-success has kept the arms race a
constant. Of course, we know that there is always someone stronger who
comes along, who later is taken down by someone strong then they. I
believe that until we can learn compassion and empathy, wars will still
occur. This is no easy task. It starts with teaching the young, as
well as ourselves. And, it won't happen overnight. It will probably
take many generations, but as the saying goes, "there's no time like the
present."

The good ole U.S.A. spends billions and
billions each year on medical research, presciption drugs, medical
treatment, medicare, and medicaid. We have even built hospitals in Iraq.
We could cure every disease known to man but if we don't eliminate the
bin laden types of the world our heads will land in our laps. Is it
worth spending billions more to kick the s*** out of those who want to
FREAKING BEHEAD US!?!?!?! You bet it is!!
