I mostly connect this to governments all over the world. have you seen the things happening nowadays? morals gone and criminals get royal treatment. the world needs smarter people in top positions.

You need both smart and strong people. People who can enforce thier ideals and morals. They also should not be influenced by people getting to draw them away from these morals.

very true. but do you see that in true life? its a viscious cycle.power makes people crazy.


myLot reputation of 96/100. alokn99 (2931)   ranked 532 out of 38,421 in life  1 year ago

In true life it is extremely difficult and you will find that people trying to be like this get easily removed from the system or get incluenced away from thier morals.


myLot reputation of 89/100. Zorrogirl (769)   ranked 1,495 out of 38,421 in life  1 year ago

we just need to keep on trying to be the best we can be. small gesture but if enough people are kind and use their wisdom to benefit the world around them, earth may just have a chance.

We are already having too smart people in top positions. We call them politicians.


myLot reputation of 89/100. Zorrogirl (769)   ranked 1,495 out of 38,421 in life  1 year ago

can you guess what i think about african leaders... please note that i am not racist. i have black friends. i just get sick of the thought of stupidity ruling. how do you feel about foreigners working in canada?


myLot reputation of 65/100. BCMike (3316)   ranked 3,587 out of 38,421 in life  1 year ago

Unfortunately, "HOW I FEEL" is irrelivant to governments in Canada.
Our politicians are fully out of control (even worse than the states) and they do what they want.

i was just asking as hubby and me want to look for greener pastures outside of africa. canada and australia are on our short list. wanted to go to usa but getting in there is a nightmare.


myLot reputation of 65/100. BCMike (3316)   ranked 3,587 out of 38,421 in life  1 year ago

In out small community of Vanderhoof in the center of BC in Canada, has a population of only 4500+/- and we have a half dozen docotrs from South Africa.
In fact, my own Dr is from South Africa.

I had a friend of mine from a church I went to in Victoria, he was South African. during the years of racial issues surrounding Apartide.

You would be more than welcome here I would think.

What does hubby do?


myLot reputation of 65/100. BCMike (3316)   ranked 3,587 out of 38,421 in life  1 year ago

Your chances of getting in are better if you are prepared to look into a more rural setting rather than into a city.

I would love to act as an unofficial ambassador for this area. We came here on purpose and love it.


myLot reputation of 89/100. Zorrogirl (769)   ranked 1,495 out of 38,421 in life  1 year ago

hubby is an automotive engine fitter. just means he is qualified in petrol and diesel engines. i am in bookkeeping. its great to hear the other sa's are happy there. thank you for all the info.


myLot reputation of 65/100. BCMike (3316)   ranked 3,587 out of 38,421 in life  1 year ago

You guys are in if you want to come. Being a fully qualified mechanic is a good thing because they are in short supply here and I believe this is one of those trades that's needed.

Now all we have to do is convince you that winter is nice here. It is, but we get snow and cold, and you folks aren't used to that....yet.

This is the best idea I've heard in years. Do you think the people who really need it would use it?


myLot reputation of 89/100. Zorrogirl (769)   ranked 1,495 out of 38,421 in life  1 year ago

not a chance. but i pray for the world. wisdom is crucial. you should see the companies here with their uneducated bosses. its a pity.


myLot reputation of 99/100. nannacroc (2370)   ranked 5,702 out of 38,421 in life  1 year ago

We have educated bosses but they have no common sense.

I agree unfortunately it seems to be the people with money who control the top positions. I sometimes think they don't want everyone underneath getting smarter as they are scared they might lose their spot. We are surely lagging in the morals category though.

You would have to have a smart fountain beside the "learn how to use your new smarts" fountain. Some people are smart, they just use it in the wrong ways. Some of the "best" criminals in the world were genius. Why do you think they got away with so much before they got caught?

I do agree that criminals need to stop getting such good treatment. I heard somewhere that a prisoner was trying to sue the prison because they wouldn't do something or another for his teeth. Really? A toothbrush should be plenty. We provide them better food, medical care, places to sleep, all of this better than some people have that are behaved citizens. Pretty sad...

I agree it would be nice if we could just put some smartener upper in the drinking water so everyone would get smart,

I mean do you know what I saw the other night at night time? I saw someone on the fourlane highway and they were riding a bike, with dark coloured clothing, and this was on a very dark section of the road, we almost did not see them, they were in the wrong lane even for a bicycle.

I could go on and on about the dumb things I have seem people do some things stranger than others.

yes you are very correct and unfortunately many people still think this is the way to go,people easily commit crime knowing fully well that they will only be released on bail its a shame,if you live in the country whre i live then i guess you have seen this thing in operation where hardend criminals even go on strike saying they are not given the kind of food they want its really a shame
