  A comment on Conversation: What can governments do to end poverty in their countries? Is a solution possible under capitalism?

  Jan 19 2013: in Capitalism, a country’s businesses and industry are controlled and run for profit by private owners rather than by the government. If a country is willing to support poor people through giving them money, the budget deficit will increase. I think all governments should play the role if the investor in order to create more jobs and support poor people. The governments should run and control companies like the individual owners. Neither Capitalism nor Communism are good economic systems.

  A comment on Conversation: Should we travel to find our happiness?

  Dec 12 2012: Sometimes yes. But it is much better to be home and surrounded by your family and friends.

• A comment on Conversation: Is modern communication going to produce a generation that doesn't understand body language or verbal expression?

  Aug 14 2012: No. As long as we are far away from internet or modern communication we will use our body language and verbal expressions spontaneously with people on street, at school at work... etc.

• A comment on Conversation: What if "Genetic Engineering" -cumulatively- created a world without Evil ?! ... What could the consequences be?

  Aug 14 2012: It's really impossible to eliminate evil from human beings. Evil is part of the nature of human beings. But if we had the chance to eliminate evil our world would be like utopia.

• A comment on Conversation: Can China really become a super power, or will it remain a great power among other great powers?

  Aug 14 2012: China is among the superpowers in the world. I think any country in the world would think twice before it wage a war against China because its power increases every year. But it really can't be a super power because it has no bases all over the world like US. In addition, US is is obsessed with power and dominance. US would not allow China to be a super power. US is already feared of the increasing power of China.

  A comment on Conversation: Is Morality on the decline!??

  Jul 21 2012: The way we raise children has huge impact on the way they behave. If you raise children in a good way and teach them morals that would make them better in future. If not, they wouldn't be good and they would have no ethics and morality. This era proves this. Media ruins the minds of children. When children see they way that bad singers,actors and their friends behave, they try to imitate them. We should bare in mind that nowadays people consider wrong deed right deed. We have to make people wake up.

  A comment on Conversation: Working children: should we prohibit, permit or promote it.

  Jul 12 2012: I think that children should be stopped from working. If they are allowed to work, they wouldn't go to school and therefore they are going to spend their whole life withoit education and the chance of having a good job in future. Every state should prohibit this.

  Jul 9 2012: we all try to create our own philosophy in life in order to improve ourselves. Let's say that humans are paradoxical and we do things unconsciously even though we try to avoid those things.
  My greetings Lia :)
