  • A comment on Conversation: Recession Proof Jobs

    Nov 29 2011: At the height of the recession the Merchant Navy still had a lack of officers. My jobs safe.
  • A comment on Talk: Tim Jackson: An economic reality check

    Oct 14 2010: He tells us about a company "Ecosia" that takes 80% of its profits and reinvests them back into the economy, In this case the rainforest.

    Surly this is what's happening anyway with taxes. Its just that the people we rely on to make sure the money goes where its best suited "Governments" generally do a bad job.

    They tend to try and please people only on a short term basis creating economic highs by spending excessively (normally their time in office) then leave the future generations to pick up the pieces, Its a viscous circle that I cant see ending any time soon

    I'm sure we've got the right idea and the foundation is already in place for a sustainable economy, its just we haven't got the right people at the top with the vision to create it.

    A reply on Talk: Stephen Hawking: Questioning the universe

    Sep 3 2010: I feel sorry for you...Just because you cant fully explain or understand everything, Doesn't mean you should attribute everything to some manmade deity...That would be boring.

    There is a universe of evidence for all of these theories, Where there is only a book created by man to prop up christianity.

    Personally i see religion as a comfort blanket the human race should have outgrown centuries ago.

    Not to say there isn't "Somthing" out there still beyond our comprehension...,I just dont think its a "God" sitting on a sea of clouds with a cool beard.
