@zombiasnow15 ... for sure. society has a few real problems. they're called denial of reality, apathy and malice. its called "capitalism." they're not flaws in capitalism. they're designed results of capitalism. it pits us against one another. when we see someone in trouble we either turn our heads and close our eyes or we say - "thank god that's not me" and go on with our selfish lives. homelessness could be solved tommorrow. 1st, property values are ridiculously, artificially high. lowering the damned property values to realistic and reasonable levels would solve a lot problems. oh, but the elite tells us we can't do that. it would interfere with their profit margins. 2nd, we have empty buildings, abandoned homes, empty stores and entire malls no longer in use. they cost BILLIONS to build but just sit and rot as the homeless live on the streets. 3rd, STOP doing what the damned ruling elite tells us to do and implement a SANE economic system that benefits everyone. not just the rich!

well. its not a happy sight here in the u. s. either. adults living with their parents. families living in their cars. the full-time employed unable to pay their most basic monthly bills. these people are the invisible homeless that aren't counted in the official stats. the perfect solution to poverty and homelessness. DENY IT EXISTS and rig the official state stats to reflect it. the problem is capitalism. its an undeniable failure yet we're not allowed to say it or consider other options. the nazi's had a great way to end unemployment and poverty. put 15-20% of the population in prison. that's actually the capitalist solution to everything. don't build a more inclusive, just and equal society. just build more prisons.

@danarzechula3769 .... its the social system that encourages and rewards greed and selfishness that's the problem. you never hear anyone get rich from kindness or compassion?

@preyanuchpromhong3777 ... actually, that's not true. its a claim the ruling elite make to demonize the homeless making it seem their problems are of their own making. yes, there are homeless drug addicts. but there are RICH drug addicts too. why aren't they homeless? the world's homeless are made up of a variety of different people. but they all have one thing in common. their homelessness is caused by a fascist, capitalist economic system that's unjust, cruel and apathetic.

@ethanwilliams1880 ... yep, a standard denial of reality by a standard neo-liberal. you claim to hate the effect but deny the cause. no, the nazi's weren't socialists and neither were the soviets. see, here's the problem, you don't know what the hell you're talking about. capitalism, as fascism, is ANY system based on social predation and conflict, creates a ruling elite and enforces its will over the will of the people and systemically violates human rights. socialism, as democracy, is an anti-elitist system, that's based upon social cooperation, mutual benefit and protects the rights of the individual. Not that any of this will get through to you, you know that slavery is freedom, and I can't take that away from you. but hopefully i can open the eyes of others brainwashed by the corporate police-state so they will acknowledge their own slavery and want to end it.

@aoeu256 ... i believe over population to be the basis of all the problems humanity faces today. overpopulation creates economic misery, cultural suspicion and hate, environmental catastrophes and cut-throat competition for daily survival. but just how exactly do you "limit" the birth rate of one sector of society while allowing another sector to reproduce at INSANE rates? whenever i hear some damned celebrity say they want a large family and then hear the audience break out in applause it makes me SICK! do these people want a better world or not? because they sure aren't willing to do anything or make any sacrifices to obtain it. "its all about me-ism" is a capitalist disease that's infected and corrupted our entire species.

@aoeu256 ... and btw, govt regulations is what sets standards and protects consumers from unsafe and profiteering business practices. without building regulations our homes and buildings would collapse because we all know business cuts safety to increase profits. and that's not a good thing.
