Anyone else here feel like the world is entering into dangerous times?

[Deicide]

Worldwide, economies are going down the tubes, government bungles, massive raising of university of tuition, wars, etc...

I think, looking at the facts of today's world, it's hard to be optimistic. The question is, what to do? I think we and by that EVERYONE are in for a long and very rough and bumpy ride...

Anyone else worry?

[haider]

how 'massive' is the raising of tuition in the UK that people are going crazy about in the ol UK?

x3, so for example for home students (Europe+UK) ca. £4,000x3=£12,000. That's a lot.

damn, brutal austerity measures! welfare recipients must be fucked too!

[~UN_$ung~]

to put it simply............im my opinion............someo ne just needs to push the "reset" button the world.............we went so far out of balance in EVERY way, nothing is sustainable

Yeah, they are going to cut welfare as well. Simultaneously, the British government plans on massive cuts in university funding across the country. Everything is going to pot. You should have seen the recent protests.

yeah i saw some footage from FOX... really hard to believe this is going on right now. Hope its not all in vain; doesn't come as a surprise to me that there will be a painful period on the road to recovery due to past excesses. what is the general view about the austerity measures? do you agree/disagree with what the gov is doing?

Correct, we haven't seen the worse yet...

As soon as I saw the Charles and Camilla limo get rocked, I said to myself: Deicide.

Well, people aren't happy. At Imperial they are axing important departments on the grounds that research revenue isn't high enough; cell biology, bio-chemistry, botany, etc.

The government should really be cutting elsewhere BEFORE jacking up tuition fees; people are in debt as it is, they don't need to borrow more to go to university. There are other things they could be doing, places they could be cutting.

Planetary Enema?

well in england, the masses should have got rid of the so called "monarchy and royalty" decades ago!

it's the people of england and their taxes that are paying quote "the salary" LOL" and lifestyle of the so called "royalty"

queen elizabeth is worth a billion dollars and for what?! she doesn't do anything! her worth is the taxpayer's taxes and the working people's money they've actually earned!

give up the royalty and their mansions and their lifestyles and you will have plenty of money to go around for students to get an education!

so i guess the "rocking" of the pompous and ludicrousness of charles and camilla was for a reason!

x3, so for example for home students (Europe+UK) ca. £4,000x3=£12,000. That's a lot.

converts to about $18,000 - a bargain compared to US tuition.

edit: and i agree, the problems we are having now are beyond the petty nonsense that we usually worry about - a few people getting blown up by terrorists, ethnic wars, etc.  these things do very little to effect the world, when you get down to it. we pick up and move on within a few years. complete economic breakdown is the sort of thing that could destroy civilization (no money -> no shipping -> no food.etc.)

The corporate mentality is everywhere.  It's not good enough to turn a profit, every little company has a growth (or greed) mentality, which defies the laws of economics.  I agree, it's time for a crash and reset back to simpler times. 

[Rami]

I think it's getting better, I see many good signs.
