The world is run by the rich and powerful.... the end. You don't like it? Well your going to have a miserable life whining about it. Because you are definitely NOT going to change it. It's been this way since the begining of civilized culture. It is mans nature.

So no matter who you are or where you come from... either you have or you dont have. If you feel strongly about some political issue, get out there.. take a stand! See if you can rally some people to your cause. Maybe...just maybe, in some miniscule way you can make a dent. But laying out a biblical novel in a submarine video game forum isnt going to change anything.

Take a moment and look at yourself and say what have I done.... and I am not talking about writing a check to charity or recycling. What have you really done?
You think voting constitutes a change? Or helping effect a change?

I have to laugh at all the voting threads. Do you think for a minute that I really care who gets in office or that my vote makes a difference. Whoever they want, gets in office. What do they do for the little guy once in office, nothing. Well actually I did receieve a check in the mail from "W".

And you know what? Whether its democracy, socialism, communism, the little guy is still going to get the shaft. So B.O.H.I.C.A. (Bend Over Here It Comes Again) for you non military types. Grin and bear it, etc., etc.

So if you don't mind, I am going to get back to much, much more important things.. like sinking merchants...


PS Actually that "Supersize Me" movie changed something.. because of that toolbag, I cant order a supersized fry anymore. I'd like to meet that guy and punch him right in the grill.
If I were to prescribe to your view of the world, I might as well take my life now and be done with it as there is, in your world view, no reason to believe any kind of change is possible and I will always be on "the receiving end"...

Thankfully, throughout history there have been those people who, despite the odds and their "hopeless" political/social environments DID something instead of retreating into their own little pitiful worlds and saying, "Screw it". Nothing I will ever do will change anything."... YMMV.
