Deep-Blue, not sure where you’re going with this? When you say “you will find corruption in” and then list a few institutions as examples, and you’re right you could go over the page, you are right and you are identifying a single common thread, us.

Whatever we humans do and have done since records began, have been corrupted by us. This began long before the mighty dollar and it is not a recent phenomenon.

We consider ourselves to be intelligent but we neither demonstrate this, nor can we identify what we mean by it. We have tried every conceivable set of rules to curb our corruption yet we are no better today than we were 8,000 years ago. We have tried social, political, economic, religious and ecological rules, millions upon millions of rules and all have failed.

If we are to discuss “truth” then there is only one truth, we are all flawed and we can’t help it. We have still not abandoned the fanciful beliefs we have carried through from our medieval darkness, these include the belief in:-

-the divine right of egotistical kings
-the inferiority of women
-the idea that a wise State knows all
-the idea that the individual is always right
-the bitter-sweet addiction, that transforms a doctrine from a mere model into something sacred and worth killing for.

It is values such as these that define our species as superstitious primitives. We are not a benign species and we are definitely not intelligent. This is why, each and every human endeavor, entity and institution created by humans is corrupt.

That is reality and truth.

I find looking inwards is futile Deep-Blue. Protecting oneself or others against corruption is not feasible when the power to question or refute is currently in remission.

When honesty is silenced, abridged, or forced to become fraudulent there is no complete truth as the messenger is isolated and deceitful by compulsion.

Perhaps we could ask why corruption is used and whether for a particular gain or to lesson discord is acceptable to us. There could be arrogance or benevolence at the core in conjunction with authority and influence.

It probably does good to occasionally imagine what could be achieved with a magic wand as it may slow down the embrace of nihilism or even WikiLeaks.

Dear runner,

As I am under instruction to withdraw myself from you I suppose I am sinning in responding but I will beg forgiveness.

Did you really just accuse me of self righteousness? I am sorry my friend but to have that coming from you has really made my day. Thank you. Lol.

Spindoc,Lilith.

I guess looking inwards is a little pointless considering all the evidences against mankind. However that's leaves a moral dilemma. How can the future generations have a future, when all is nothing but a lie? EG The religious cults have being fool people for 1000's of years, knowing the false hope they sell is just another dishonest business. So again......if someone breaks the law........in the sence of financial gain, how can one be held responsible when the corruption in today's world is the norm.

Iam asking these questions since my son and I talked about corruption in sport just recently........and the under-the-table deals and so on......and he was wondering why should I follow the law.

I honestly didn't know what to say.

And I very much doubt anyone else would either.

I guess corruption is just a dirty word that know one talks about.

Arrr human nature.........is no wonder how some can predict our demise.

BLUE

We follow laws in society such as stopping when the light is red, society agrees with this law.

Other laws or what we see as corruption are challenged. No promises are made that you will be supported or that you will avoid being corrupted, isolated, or punished in some way while on this path.

We cannot each save the whales and the FIFA World Cup; we must all pick our own battles.

The corrupt system in place now supports all other corruptions and a loss is hardly a reflection that the truth was not fought for. The futile part is taking a loss onboard as a personal failure.

Many people are fighting whether it is feasible or not, predictable demise or not.

Your son, he could be the one that wins one for us. Hope usually backs Truth.

BLU/BLUE:LOL.. i didn't know u started a new thread, jeez i'm slow, weel too busy actually.
"What is truth?" how many people actually question that today, how many actually want a change. i reckon from what i know, it's a lot more then a few decades ago.
your response to AL was classic! hahaha
"I'll be at the bottem of the page." hahahaha.. too bad, you can't type that many letters mate.(i'm going to fall of my sitting place soon)
all the good role models got murdered, period.

i don't see why when u post quotes, it always only refers to 'men'. truth: what about the female species, so is it supposed to be men, men ,men, and hopefully one day there will be no more women. after that, you won't be able to reproduce. on the other hand, if there were no more men, with all the technology we have now, the WOMEN, will be able to. so men...u are not anymore superior then women. and that is that truth.

ya, keep thinking that the only way to solve all this is by getting rid of us humans, real smart..wow! the superior species in action.

howabout just stand up and fight for your own rights for once instead of letting everything/one control u.
