    DK, your ignorance and <i>prejudice</i> (ironically the same thing you accuse of other people) know no bounds.

    Wars? Since when has this not been a problem in known history?

    Terrorism? This one is up, but it's mostly just now all over the media. There were terrorists before.

    Racism has also always been a problem. If anything, it's gotten BETTER in the past couple of generations. And in the US especially since the Civil War.

    "Killing Earth (factories, pollution, etc.)" A planet can't be killed. You may be talking about killing animals, but you do that all of the time yourself.

    "Job exploitation." Exploitation is one of those words that I call "nonsense words."

    "prejudism." That doesn't even warrant a response.

    Economics and the state of society are not separable.

    I think things are good.

    Well, if your expections are low, that's not my problem.

    I expect 21st century humans to have DELETED racism, prejudism, terrorism, and job exploitation(specially that one).

    You know, like when people who work at McDonalds are forced to eat the food too. That's exploitation, man. By THE MAN.

    So you're labeling me? funny, if there's anyone ignorant around here is yourself.

    None of those things should be around in the 21st century. At least not thriving.

    Yes, well, by 2000 I expected hoverbikes and moving sidewalks everywhere, but I guess I had to get something reasonable.

    Why? And this very thread shows your ignorance of history, as most of the things you pointed out are BETTER now than before.

    EDIT: And job exploitation is a nonsense word with no meaning. It's a standardless word - there is no objective definition of exploitation, it can mean whatever you want.
