Topic: Let's Cure Cancer, Solve World Hunger, Help Africa & Discover Some New Species (Read 2155 times)

While now I know that you're just crazy I do want to know how a building is considered a state.

It cites itself. That is what 3 stars means. ANY time you have stars on a modern flag, that is what they represent.

America: 50 states, 50 stars
Texas: 1 star, representing that we don't need the other 49
China: Representing its satellite nations

Those 3 stars represent 3 independent nations. The only nations as independent as DC in the world, are the palace and the Vatican.

Can you cite where that is the flag for the Vatican and Buckingham as well? It is certainly the flag for DC, but the other two I would question...as they do have their own flags and it does not look like that.

3. Wait, so you thought my idea about redistributing the wealth of the world to Africa was stupid yet you think one building has enough wealth for everyone? Are the royal baby's diapers going to be pawned off?

1. What the hell is the R word?!??!?!?!??

2. Buckingham Palace may not be a city state in the same EXACT way that the Vatican is, but it IS a city state in the way of Ancient Rome. And it is a remnant of the Roman Empire, which shares power of the world with The Vatican and Washington DC. Which are all city states, they even share a flag. I'll get a pic of it for you.

3. My point is that the money in that palace needs to be more evenly distributed among the planet. And the only way to do that is to ask them to stop inbreeding, or storm the palace.

Why do you keep acting like it's either one way or the other? There IS middle ground on the way to change.

This is the flag of the Vatican, DC and Buckingham:

Lay off the r-word, buddy. Let's keep this nice and civil.

Buckingham Palace, as I understand it, is not actually a city state like the Vatican which is not answerable to any other authority. That was kind of the point - no king was supposed to be able to reign in the Pope's shenanigans. The Palace is located in Westminister, which is a part of London, which is a part of England. It's still a part of the country they are in charge of.

I should actually correct my previous statement though. The Royal Family is not exactly irrelevant to modern politics, but they aren't really wielding much influence. They're more about the catching-up than the game-changing, which I think makes them a poor candidate for the "only other 2 things in the entire world that really need to be done" list you threw them on. How recently was it that Prince Charles was "allowed" to marry the woman he always wanted to? This most recent birth would have been the first time a girl might have actually been allowed to be in line for the throne without giving up her spot should a son be born. I've heard way more stories related to topless beaches and baby names than I have interesting political moves.

Really? You didn't understand the comparison? I wasn't talking about El Salvador and Mexico, I was using them as an example to show you how ridiculous what you are saying is.

1. Cancer- More Cannabis research, as well as testing out new things. Many Cancer patients are told that they are inoperable, and that treatment is helpless. I'm sure it wouldn't be hard to find cancer patients to test new rainforest plants and research chemical effects on their cancer, as long as regular human tests were done first.

2. World Hunger- GMOs are hated on like they are straight up poisons, all GMO means is "Genetically Modified Organism", which can range anywhere from a plants genetics being manipulated to produce more seed or fruit, to splicing the DNA of a jelly-fish into the genes of a pig. While it is true we shouldn't be putting corn on the market that has jelly fish DNA, or that produce their own pesticides. It is also true that if used properly, GMOs could solve the worlds food shortage, and actually give us a surplus.

3. Help Africa- We need to write history books, philosophy books and more that AREN'T meant for 1st world English students. Then we can begin to educate the world about itself. I am friends with a Nigerian who works for the government, and he said he never took a history class his entire educative career.
I was watching an idiot abroad, and it only costs around $700 to build a little house for a family in Africa... I don't see why it's not solved yet.

4. Discovering New Species- This goes hand in hand with Africa, World Hunger AND Cancer research. The Rainforests of the world need to be searched for new species of plants for cancer research, as well as new species that may be able to be bred with or spliced into the plants we currently use to make them have higher yields or more/less seeds, which in turn helps world hunger.

I happen to understand that it is impossible to eradicate these things instantly, you have to start somewhere, you can't just tell them they don't exist anymore. That would start a world war.

And to say that Buckingham palace is irrelevant to politics is retarded. It is its own city state, as is the Vatican and as is Washington DC, and they are tied together by blood.

I thought it was only reasonable to talk about Africa, not El Salvador or Mexico.

Lol, "Main Producer" and "Sole Producer" are two different things. I am not talking about ANY GMOs related to Monsanto in any way.

You can't judge a people's wealth based on the continent. That's like saying Mexico and El Salvador are fine because America brings up the GDP of North America, that's just fuckin stupid.

1 - I want to see more cities with cult leaders! Why are the Catholics the only one who get their own city??? I'm putting in proposal to quarter off a section of Vancouver for a Pagan leader with a shiny hat and lots of gold.

2. This is silly. The Royal Family is useless and irrelevant to modern politics. They're for mass-entertainment, charity events, and celebrity-gossip.

Yes I can. Monsanto is the main producer of GMOs. They basically have a monopoly. But they do not care at all about making genetically engineered crops for the greater good.



How is there not enough wealth? The entire continent of Africa's GDP is about 1.476 trillion. That is about 1/57 of the World's GDP. If wealth was distributed even remotely evenly, Africa's GDP could increase dramatically.

The only other 2 things in the entire world that really need to be done, is:

1. The Abolition of the Private Vatican (not its traditions, just its secrecy), with a new democratic policy. Meaning every catholic bishops and cardinals, in EVERY country has their masses vote. Then a new pope is chosen. This will firstly open up the Vatican's ranks to the world, secondly it will make it where the people get to choose where the money they donate is going (not directly, but at least by representative).

This would also lead to a revolution in the church around the rest of the world, which means we will be electing priests and cardinals in our own towns eventually.

2. Abolition of the Royal family (not the traditions, just the bloodline). We need more marriages like Kate, where REGULAR people join the family. First off, I can't believe they just inbreed within their 300 families. 2nd, they have tons of money and make more every day, that doesn't need to be kept away from the people of the UK, let alone the people of the world.

If Monsanto doesn't care about world hunger, then it is the job of the people who research GMOs to work towards doing good things, and supporting good GMO producers.

You can't just come in and say "Monsanto" and suddenly I'm wrong.

MORE THAN ENOUGH WEALTH FOR THE PEOPLE IN AFRICA, that's a fucking joke.
