Definitely the class system, not only between Rose and Jack but also between the different classes of passengers.



YEs, I agree 100 %
Also, to see how reach people was saved first and third class people had to wait until the end, this was really tragic.


I've realized that airlines often have a more convenient location for obtaining the life vest in case of an emergency for business/first class flyers, which is really implying that they have a greater right to life than those who could not afford it. It really is tragic.

As mentioned by awesome31312, this is definitely the most intelligent and thought provoking answer! Poor people are most certainly treated as second class citizens. I honestly don't know how anyone can miss it. Recently, I was reminded of this when I took my dad to see the doctor regarding his pneumonia.

My dad received oxygen when he was in the hospital and he says it helped him immensely, but the hospital couldn't discharge my dad quick enough. In fact, my dad came back later the same day, due to feeling short of breath, and again they discharged him asap the following day. *sigh* The next day I took my dad to see a doctor (which was filling in for his family doctor) and asked him for oxygen, but he denied me three times saying my dad can't have it and even told me I was being difficult. I just couldn't understand why not, knowing full well there are in fact old people who do have oxygen at home. Finally he admitted it was because my dad didn't qualify to have it covered by medicare and if we wanted it we'd have to pay for it. "FFS! Of course we'll pay for it!", I told him.  Angry

Lesson learned - If you have to go see a doctor (at his office) you will be lied to because you obviously cannot afford good treatment and so must die. If you can afford a doctor to come to your home then you can obviously afford good treatment and so have the right to live.

Sorry if this seems a bit off-topic, but I just had to get this off my chest.  Sad

It's not off-topic at all. I'm sorry you had to deal with such outrageous oppression due to class warfare, oYo. It really does seem like we are one nation indivisible, with Liberty and Justice for all that can afford it. We don't like facing it, but it's true, there is in fact a condition where one cannot afford rights. The right to life is mentioned in our Bill of Rights, but unfortunately, it seems that you need to be able to pay for your right to live. Titanic was a good example of that, airline tickets are another. Health care in America tops it all.

Thank you awesome31312. Indeed, I'm sure things are the same there in the USA as they are here in Canada.

Don't you guys get free healthcare in Canada?

Yes, but it doesn't cover everything. My dad's oxygen level wasn't low enough for him to qualify for free coverage. What pisses me off is that doctors hide options which are not covered by healthcare if they figure you can't afford it.

Am I the only one who is saddened by this?


Indeed, thinking about the horrors of this world makes me sad, too. How can one bring themselves to appreciate such a horrific god that would condemn any life to such terrors? That's definitely not a loving god. Not the way I understand love to be.  Sad

WHERE do YOU take God in your life journey?

I suppose god set it all up. I'm just left here to watch it unfold. I haven't seen or heard from him. Have you? Has anyone here? Are most of us here just part of countless numbers who are left out of loop. Believing in the wrong god, or religion, or neither one. Are we all therefore condemned to some unpleasant afterlife? Seems rather torturous don't you think?

Why would god need messengers? If god has a message for me, I'm positive sending a messenger or using some middleman is just highly gratuitous and I assure you completely unnecessary. Hell, in this day and age, we could even email or a text on my phone.  Smiley

In the same way there is no possible way for an ant to conceptualize our galaxy, we do not have ability to know the mind and ability of an omnipotent being. This is basically agnosticism in a nutshell.

Lower-order levels of logic are essentially the exact same as higher-order ones, just infinitely smaller. It's my opinion that this is what is meant in the Bible when it says man was made in God's image.  I believe that our logic and mind functions exactly the same as god, except at an infinitely-smaller level.  Logic is a closed system, and inasmuch as we use logic as the only basis to rationalize about the Universe, it is possible to construct a perfectly self-contained logical theory of the Universe which would essentially equate to a God-level theory of reality.  The only criteria is that it must be self-contained and consistent throughout, and must be capable of explaining not only everything the Universe contains, but also itself.  Therefore, its structure must be self-reinforcing and circular such that any attempt to deny it only reaffirms its existence.  

An example of such a self-reinforcing and circular argument is the argument for absolute truth, for any attempt to deny absolute truth, e.g. "There is no absolute truth" automatically invokes the unspoken assertion, "It is the absolute truth there is no absolute truth."  Of, if someone said, "There is more than one truth," or, "Truth is relative," it is the same as saying "It is the absolute truth there is more than one truth," or, "It is the absolute truth that truth is relative."


I believe you were referring to -
Quote
The first step in forming the Seed of Life (or The Flower of Life) is to begin with a circle (as in a 2D model) or a sphere (as in a 3D model).[2]
According to some, the first step in building the Seed of Life was the creation of the octahedron by a divine "creator" (or "God"). The next step was for the creator to spin the shape on its axis. In this way, a sphere is formed (see diagram). The creator's consciousness is said to exist within the sphere and the only thing that physically exists is the membrane of the sphere itself. This "first step" is to be identified with the "first day", the latter being in reference to the six days of creation.[2])


The belief being, that god would need to explore his surroundings. As in, god chose to "forget" at the moment of the Big Bang.
However, there is no exploring, as there is no beginning or end. No not knowing, then knowing or vice versa. I believe this god character is all (always) knowing, if it truly exists.

From an agnostic point of view, god is infinitely unimaginable. Therefore, you cannot make assumptions of god, like "I believe that our logic and mind functions exactly the same as god." There's infinite levels in the "God-level theory of reality". Ones that you literally can't even imagine.

Using the multi-verse theory as an example. An infinite number of universes having an infinite amount of possibilities. You won't ever come close to imagining the unimaginable, even if you started right now and thought about it for the rest of time. (ie. The laws of physics and time don't exist.) Universes where anything you can imagine does not exist, replaced by the unimaginable. 'Words can't describe' kinds of unimaginable things, whereby you would de facto be in the wrong if you even tried using words to describe it.

All there really is to say is... Have a nice day.  Smiley

Beautiful, she is a living doll.

I "dated" her sister once, but she was inflatable.

I "dated" one of her "sisters" too,
but she was a witch.
As soon as I put it in her,
she flew out the window with a "Hissss."

Religions claim to know the mind and ability of (their) god(s).

Legalization is a trick, so that government can tax it. Don't legalize. Simply repeal laws that make it illegal.

For example, is the comb in your pocket legal? Is it illegal? Neither. It is simply your property, the comb in your pocket. Is the ring on your finger legal? Is it illegal? Neither. It is simply your property, a ring on your finger.

The point is, repeal all the laws that place any restraints on people. Let the laws apply to corporations and artificial entities only.

Base all laws only on harm or damage done, where someone harms someone else or damages his property. And make such laws very strong laws, like the death penalty for first time robbery. If we set all government up around this thinking, then we would have complete freedom.

Think about it before you reply.

Smiley

Wow! Well, said. This is absolutely your best post! (And, it's not just because you didn't mention god in it once.)  Wink

I agree. Even though that comb can be fashioned into a shank to kill someone and that ring (what it symbolizes) could be used to legally (illegally) manipulate someone, it's not the property of people, but the actions of people that we ought to be concerning ourselves with, if harm is done.

Pussies don't like dicks, because pussies get fucked by dicks. But, dicks also fuck assholes. Assholes that just want to shit on everything. Pussies may think they can deal with assholes their way, but the only thing that can fuck an asshole is a dick, with some balls. The problem with dicks is they fuck too much, or fuck when it isn't appropriate, and it takes a pussy to show them that. But, sometimes pussies can be so full of shit, that they become assholes themselves, because pussies are just an inch and half away from assholes. So, if dicks didn't fuck assholes, then we'd soon all have our dicks and our pussies all covered in shit.  Cool
