If a person wants to live in a good world, he should ACTIVELY do things to make the world better.

Rebutals will be in the speech; I won't rebut like in a normal debate, but you can probably find wear I rebut your points. This speech has been boiling up for a while.____________________________________________________________________I must say... this debate has affected me. These feeling that you've helped illicite from me today, I don't know what these feelings are, but I thank you for putting me in the position to feel whatever I'm feeling now. Humanity? Mortality? Contentment? Whatever I'm feeling, I thank you.____________________________________________________________________It is worth noting what my life is like. I am a young lad of not quite 15. What influence do I have? This is the question that I ask, and the answer tortures me.I have zero influence on anything. I still try to change the world for the better, but all I can do is spout optimistic nonsense.I sincerely want to live in a world without pain and murder, violence and hate, possesions and greed, but... I have no means of seeing that reality short of hallucinagens, and I don't have hallucinagens.Maybe I'll mean something as an adult, but, as of now, I'm just a useless drone without a cent to his name... Excuse me, I have a five dollar bill on the dresser and a laptop under my fingertips.I guess it's time to change the world! I have a YouTube channel (with no means of producing video) and barely enough money to make a cappicino! Let's change!But, as you well know, proclaiming that it's time for change does nothing. We have to start the change. But I can't. To quote Charlie Sheen: "Can't is the cancer of happen".Then that means that the world we live in is a tumor. So many people with different ideologies. It's a cluster of morons, extremists, and us (who are classified by others as morons and extremists).We are all sad, strange little dudes to other people. What influence do we have? All I can do is manage to survive until everything's fixed or I reach 18.When I reach 18, I'll... I'll... VOTE! Yes, I'll vote! I'll vote for the guy who supports my values! Mine! Forget everyone else!Voting will do nothing. As you can see, the way you vote is based on each individuals values, leading to a dog-eats-dog mentality.It's not as if these leaders uphold the values that got elected. Bill Clinton ran on integraty. Bush on security. Obama on ending the wars.What's happened?If it is up to each individual to encourage societal improvement, then we're screwed. I can't curse, so I'll only say "we're screwed". Indeed, we're dug in deep.What would we encourage?Education? Fair enough, we're low on the totem pole, but how does encouraging education fix the problem, especially considering that our leaders are greedy tools.Equality? I don't know if you noticed, but blacks can vote. They are equal members of society. The President is black. Women? I don't know if you noticed, but women can vote. They are equal members of society. Hilary Clinton was nearly President. Muslims can vote. They are equal, etc.So that must mean that we should be champions for those idea overseas. If I had a week, I couldn't explain all the reason why that won't work.There is no way to change the greedy ideals short of John Lennon coming back alive or Jesus returning.I kind of admire you. "If we fail to effect our environments in a positive way - then we deserve that bad world we live in!" Ha!. I don't have an impact on the environments. The oil companies do. The greedy bosses do. A billion drivers do. I do not. I cannot change anything.You say you don't want to live in a vitriolic, biggoted world. Then move to Mars. Humans wont become nice and loving just because we want them to. You can promote all those things you try promote. I don't care. Or rather, 6,800,000,000 don't care. You are a speck of sand on a polluted beach. The catch? Most other grains of sand agree with you. They just can't do anything.You say failure to pretend to be within a world where love is reciprocated leads to pain, but acting as if you are in utopia only makes the individual happy, and the individual is not the problem. The world is.If believing that the world will reciprocate goodnes makes you happy, then more power to you!But until we, we, not the individual, but the collective Earth, make a move to make a few things right... We're all screwed.http://www.youtube.com...
