      Could you clarify a bit? Without technology, living standards tend to be really low. Keep in mind that technology includes healthcare, green energy, transport, access to internet, high agricultural yields... I find it your observation hard to believe.

        In terms of happiness people actually talk to each other there is more community spirit.

          Ask any slumdweller, they would happily trade their community spirit for comfort.

          Oh I agree with you that people can be poor and happy, just as people can be rich and miserable.

          However that's really down to culture, individual outlooks and expectations. The blame doesn't lie at the feet of technology.

          People could be happier if they weren't shitting out their bowels every other day thanks to cholera.

        I'm assuming you don't live in America. If you do then why are you here?

        America with all its problems is still better then Europe, Africa, Asia, and the Middle East. Some people preferred Europe but now it's been run over by terrorists.

        We do still have a little bit of freedom here. While it lasts...

            What about London? What about the push for shariah law?

              Yes, what about London?

              Because some of the more extreme muslims take it upon themselves to protest for the implementation of Sharia law doesn't mean much. Over 95% of the UK population isn't muslim. Of the approximately 5% that are, the majority aren't actively campaigning for Sharia law.

              Sounds like you've swallowed some scaremongering rubbish. Or maybe you're just trolling?

                Its sweeping Europe but just keep your head in the sand. I'll stay here in the USA thank you.
