And that's only because they have unlimited energy and energy/matter conversion tools like the replicator. And if we ever managed to get those things in the "real" world, I bet it'll take hundreds of years before this stuff would stop to cost an arm and a leg to use, just because they can.

Glad to see lofty has a clue ;).
You might think it's awful, but i'll bet they're just damn glad they even have a job.
It's the way the world goes round, the sad fact is, these people are even quite lucky, look at the strife going on in Africa and plenty of other places around the world.
We're lucky, they're not. I bet you wouldn't trade places with them though, would you?

As it happens... Yes. Having been over to Asia, they have a hard life but much more laid back by comparison.
It may come as a shock to many here but Asians seem to laugh and smile more often than Westerners despite their poor income. Take a walk around any Western town and see everyone with their head low, not smiling, not talking, not even aware of anything but their own troubles. Compare that to Asian towns where commuters often chat, laugh and smile, even with people they've never met before. Also, look at housing estates. Western estates are desolate, devoid of life and everyone stays behind their own front door. In Asia, most people are sitting outside in seats, laughing and chatting to their neighbours, sometimes, it's so busy, you can hardly see more than a few yards, the whole place is alive.
Western life is a hermits existence, locked doors and lack of communication seems to be normal. People are so geared to it that they don't know how to react if a stranger should actually say something to them.
Now tell me that money really has a good impact on your life. Westerners may be better off financially but Asians have a far better quality of life.

One reason why I am staying where I am while I get laughed at.
The depressed thing is the first thing I realised when I set foot in the UK. It was shocking to see how downtrodden the people were and yet were so proud to be living in a 'free and democratic' state. If only those same people woke up to the fact that they are an oppressed people living in a bankrupt third world dictatorship maybe they will stand a chance at 'freedom and democracy'.
China is such a bad place, they should aspire to be like us! Who doesn't envy 75% of the population being on Valium and Prozac?

Yes, my Philippino gf went back home and vowed never to return to the UK. She told me that she was better off living in the Philippines because people there looked as if they were alive. People in the UK looked as if they had already died but were just waiting for the government to tell them they had.

Ha ha ha what an uninformed tool. How does communism have anything to do with this?
Pretty standard for communism.
Its only in non-commmunist countries that Unions that are NOT tools of the state form (yes, that includes the evil capitalist countries for REAL labor unions....)

Originally by: Nebulous There are more than enough rescources to see to it that every person on the planet has an above average lifestyle.
It was as if millions of brain cells suddenly cried out in terror and were suddenly silenced.
Well, if he changed the words "above average" to "very comfortable", he'd be right. But achieving that state is pretty near impossible.
Step one, before anything else can be constructively done, is to crush and discredit any philosophy that confuses a legitimate "need" with a "right". For example: The need/right for food.
Rights flow from accomplished duties, NOT from needs or victimhood.
