Yo. I'm 16, I'm a senior in high school. I don't ignore these things. This shit disgusts me, but what can I do about it? I could go puke in the crapper just thinking about it, but does this solve anything for us? You come to the simple conclusion that the world is a severely messed up place, where injustice, violence and ignorance abound. At this point in time, I can't do much to change things, but I hope to in the future, and with or without me I have hope for the world on a whole. For society on a whole, I see a trend towards less toleration of violence towards one another. Look at western Europe. Power struggles and open warfare between nations for hundreds of years, but the eventual outcome has been stable democracy. The job of the United States and all developed nations is to expediate this process in the rest of the world, through any and all moral and practical means availible. Just how I see it.
