...That the truth is the truth, and that there is no escape from that. The movie isn't insulting you, I'm sure most of you are very good people, and It isn't insulting America ... It's insulting the world. Yeah this big piece of sh"t world, where horrible things can be done so that the newest car can be in your garage. You may love your country, it's probably a great country, but there are things it did that you cannot change. You want a perfect America? Well then, start first acknowledging the imperfections, so that everyone can work together for an improve. But with your eyes closed, you'll never change anything, and things will get worse every time.

As long as (some/many) people value PROFIT over HUMAN LIFE, this kind of evilness (that we saw in the movie and, alas, REAL LIFE) will continue.

Things won't change until people's attitudes change. Illegal gun running,drug dealing, & other criminal enterprises come from greed. People are greedy & self-centered. This is why concepts like socialism & anarchism don't work.

People want more than what they need. Other people don't contribute to society at all, just living off food stamps & welfare. Not the disabled just the lazy.

To do things, you got to have the motivation to get something out of it. If I would have grown up in a poor family, in a poor district and the most probable income you will get by working as an adult is 1000 euros a month you wont feel like working for it. The problem is not really the attitude of the "foodstamp collectors" but is really the ghettos and the fact that they most likely won't live a rich life. Almost all humans are like one another and I bet that many more people, including all races, would live on welfare and foodstamps if they were put in such a situation. I am of course only referring to your last sentence.

It's not difficult to accept when you're born into the wealthiest 1-5% on the planet.
