Why is the World So Screwed Up

Why is the World so screwed up, well I wish I had the answers. We have so totally raped this planet that in our generation we are starting to see the effects already. The major western governments are hell bent on declaring war on terror that they don’t even realise they are perpetrating such large scale acts of terror on whole countries themselves. Such huge amounts of money and resources are being spent on keeping troops posted in countries like Iraq and Afghanistan, for what seems to me to be absolutely no effect other than further destabilising those countries and causing more upset. Meanwhile capitalism is continuing on it’s global domination. All anyone seems to care about now is money, how much can they get, how much can they save by cutting various costs and how much people can be manipulated to give it up. Just like most people I enjoy life’s comforts and desire for nice things and the new technologies that come out, but I am not willing to rip off, kill, scam, cheat and lie for it. All too often it seems the majority of people and companies are willing to do this.

If everyone could be more tolerant of each other opinions, views, religions and mistakes then maybe some real progress could be made. Nearly all religions have their areas where inhuman acts on others can be justified and condoned. It is not just Islam that employs violence as a method of defending ideals, Christianity has also done more than it’s fair share of blood letting for God. In ancient times it was the Islamics that were the forward thinkers and the moderates in the World, while Christians were killing heathens and burning witches, Islam was accepting all religions under their wing provided they believed in A God. We all need to let bygones be bygones. There is no point harbouring a grudge for so long that it embitters your soul and drives you to violence.

Australia should sign the Kyoto treaty and start being proactive in the search for alternative fuels and energies. We have such a vast resource of land, wind and sun here that we could be World leaders in producing environmentally friendly energy. Many people say that nuclear energy is the answer….. I am not so sure, it only takes one disaster such as Chernobyl to cause such catastrophic effects that it is too risky. Anyone that says ‘well that was in Russia, in the west things are done properly’ you need only look at Coode Island, had that been a nuclear plant that went up in smoke we would all now be dead or seriously ill.

We are becoming such a throw away convenience led society that we are becoming apathetic and lazy, the ’smarter’ our technologies become the worse we become. How many jobs are now gone, taken over by robots and machines. No wonder we have such high levels of unemployment and subservience to government handouts. People have little pride in their work anymore because it is loosing it’s value in terms of actually contributing something other than money for the CEO’s, shareholders and Owners.

Anyway, I don’t mean to sound like a miserable prick, but this is just my two cents worth. Feel free to leave comments and tell me your opinion.

The White Australia Policy Returns

Back in the Fifties Australia introduced a white Australia policy whereby they made it possible to filter out any immigrants they didn’t like by conducting literacy tests. The policy was scrapped years later for being discriminatory. Now the Howard government is looking to reinstate it with a few alterations. The proposal now is that all immigrants must sit a written and verbal literacy test also they will be tested on Australian history and culture. Should they fail the test their application also fails.

I can’t see how this is of any benefit. Surely people shouldn’t be discriminated against because they can’t read or write English or because their knowledge of Australian history is poor. If these rules were applied to many Australians now half the population would be kicked out of the country. How many natural born Australians have literacy problems? How many natural born Australians are completely ignorant to Australian history and culture? If our own population is lax in the knowledge we are now expecting immigrants to have then what hope is there for them. It’s just another way that racist, war mongering Johnnie Howard is fucking our country.

More on the ‘Supermarket Menace’

Thanks to everyone who has been checking out my blog, and even more thanks to the people who are leaving comments on these topics. I can’t say I agree with all of the comments, however agree or disagree I love to hear what everyone has to say.

There are some additional points I would like to add to this topic. While I recognise the fact that Coles and Safeway have to protect there bottom line and provide the best profits they can, I question whether this has to come at such a cost to Australia. While I agree in theory it makes good business sense to be doing what they have, I take exception to them wielding so much power and making the demands they do. Safeway and Coles dictate to their suppliers a number of things, some of these are price, packaging, distribution and quality systems. Some of the demands that they place on companies are extortionate. Some companies simply cannot afford the new infra-structure needed to provide what they ask. All too often companies are being asked to reduce costs which comes usually at the expense of Australia and jobs. If local produce is more expensive it is changed for imported produce. If wage costs are too high, redundancies and sackings take place. The cost on companies in conforming to the Safeway audits are quite high and usually not needed as most places implement ISO 9000 or other forms of quality control. It is the megalomaniac mindset of the supermarkets that causes the damage. Safeway was recently trying to take on pharmacies and has recently bought out many IGA stores, some IGA still do remain independent. The decline of local green grocers toy stores and fruit and veg stores is apparent in many towns. This directly affects local areas as these stores generally give something back to their community and distribute local produce. If the supermarkets could be less cut throat, less worried about making record profits and more interested in supporting Australian made and local products while contributing back to the community then they would win back a lot of support.

Alternative Fuels

Is anyone else here sick of seeing people die, starve and become impoverished for oil? Why do we continue relying on it instead of joining forces to devise new alternatives or even assist to develop existing alternatives. Why is Australia under utilizing solar power? Why doesn’t the government offer subsidies for making bio diesel instead of imposing excises on it? How about regulating that cars being made and sold meet certain fuel efficiencies to prevent sheer waste of petrol for the sake of driving at speeds which are illegal anyway.

If everyone came upwith some ideas and technical boffins investigated them with goverment grants maybe we could solve our energy and fuel crisis. We have such a huge budget surplus at the moment I don’t think any voters would really mind several million dollars being spent on such projects.

Supermarkets are destroying the economy

There is a push from the two main supermarkets in Australia at the moment to remove named brands for substitution of their homebrands. If you don’t believe me check your local Coles or Safeway and look for some of the brands you used to know and try and find them. This may make your shopping bill slightly cheaper but at what cost? If this trend continues it will result in the loss of all that made Australia great, our quality of life will reduce drastically. Manufacturing jobs and food processing/growing/harvesting jobs will gradually decline. What can we do about it??? As consummers we simply have to ask for and demand Australian owned and produced products, if enough people regularly say to the supermarkets they won’t buy the imported crap but only want Australian brands, they will do it.

Bush; the new Nazi

Is it just me or does George Bush appear more like a nazi everyday. He is engaging on his own world domination tour picking up where his dad left off in Iraq. On his list is Afghanistan, Iran, Syria and Lebanon. Reminiscant of times of old during the vietnam war, where soldiers were sent to die to prevent the scourge of Communism throughout the world. Now it is terrorism, the new fear to spread among the people and the new excuse for wiping out any country or political leaders the US government doesn’t agree with. Any countries who say they won’t join in the war on terror gets told “your either with us or against us”. It doesn’t work that way, just because you don’t want to destroy a whole countries stability because they harbour a few terrorists doesn’t mean you support terrorism. It just means you aren’t a war mongering egotist who needs to blow crap out of anything he doesn’t like. Launching pre emptive strikes against people because so called intelligence suggests they may be planning something is terrorism in itself. If it wasn’t for this gung ho stance that the US takes with everything in the first place there wouldn’t be such threat of terrorism now. Had the US not stepped in and fucked over the Afghanistan war with Russia. Only to then promptly dropped the ball in the middle of the game and fuck off home, but still maintaining a military presence in areas they were asked to leave alone than Al Quaeda wouldn’t be so intent on harming them now. It’s the same in Iraq, they barged in and wiped out Hussein and have created such a vacuum of stability that the country is tearing itself apart with the onset of civil war. America creates these problems in the first place by starting a weapons race with Russia thus creating such a huge stockpile of missles and other weapons of mass destruction, Leading to the collapse of the USSR because all the money they had went to trying to win the cold war and the space race. So now a poor country is left with shit loads of weapons in a continent where there is more consummer demand than you can poke a stick at. America didn’t want to miss out on any money either so they put Hussein in place after driving out the Ayotola and sell him some guns and missles and stuff. Now after hussein gets arrogant and says fuck you america all of a sudden he is the bad guy and they go to war with him. These are only the recent events, they have done similar things in South America for years, look at Nicaragua, Cuba etc the list goes on and on. America even wages war on it’s own people with implementation of Eugenics on people secretly. Then the war on drugs and gangs.

Fuck Censorship

Censorship is one of the biggest evils of the world today. Gradually all of our liberties and freedoms are being eroded by thin skinned puritans who love nothing more than controlling what people see, hear and read. It is getting so bad that even childrens nursery rhymes are being altered so that references to death and unhappy endings are no longer there. Even the language we use is being changed, the new guise of censorship is ‘Political Correctness” just another way people can get rid of any opinion or ideas that they don’t feel comfortable with. Everyone is too thin skinned now days, it is this lack of tolerance that is causing conflict throughout the world. I don’t see how hearing swear words, colour references, gender specific names etc is a bad thing. If people aren’t given a chance to express their opinion then it is another form of repression and discrimination. I don’t agree with actually treating anybody differently, whether it be due to colour, religion, politics, or sexual persuasion. However if we deny people the right to hear, see and say what they like then isn’t that just as bad.
