Why do most people hate community spirit? - Help.com

Have you mingled with people lately? There’s not really anything there to be a part of. At least that’s how I feel about it.

yes you are

and community is based on the fact that we are all equals witch is not true

as nice as the world may seem if we where all the same thats not how its is

emm, i think it depends where you are dood, community spirit is alive and very well in a lot of places.

no, communism is based on the fact all wealth should be shared equally, that is not what community is about at all.

yea, plenty.
to me, a community is not about everyone being required to share wealth equally, it is about people helping others when they see a need and can help, in order to, well, help. it gives them satisfaction, it gives the person they helped satisfaction and something they needed,it gives anyone witnessing the action the warm fuzzies, and raises the general level of happiness. but community is also just about hanging out with people you enjoy hanging out with, having a chat with your neighbours etc.

Last year i was in Thailand, trekking through some fairly knarly jungle to stay with some of the hill tribes. they absolutely have community spirit. they simply couldnt survive without it.

in more modern communities, like my own, my street has a community watch programme, a street bbq every summer, and i know i could wander up to most all the houses and ask for a cup of sugar or something like that.

well yea, i would say you cant really view the entire world as one community.
sure, we are all of the same species and shizz, but there are so many different cultures in the world, it would be **** near impossible to expect everyone to hold the same views or get along.

i think thats where a lot of problems come in with war etc-like in iraq, a western culture is being forced upon people who have lived differently for thousands of years. that is never going to go well.
world peace and a global community is a grand idea, but i think in order for that to happen we all need to realise that we just need to back off sometimes and respect that people are different, and leave em be.

i dont necessarily think that geographical boundaries are really that important, i think cultural are moreso.

theres nothing wrong with visiting of course. but i didnt go there with the view that MY culture is right, and they should all do it the way MY culture does it, and everything they do is wrong because its not MY way.
i went there purely to experience and learn.
not to change them. which is where the difference is.

good times indeed :)
ya the language was a bit of an issue, lucky we had a translator though

lol, well communism is a grand idea in theory. never works in practice though does it. i prefer to just hoard everything i have and gloat over my mound of treasure hehe. or…lack thereof.

nothing’s wrong with it - it would actually be a good idea. on more then one occasion it has been tried as well, but if it stands the test of time and actually gets anywhere, then the government intervenes. they don’t like large groups sharing ideals that are not theirs - a group like that might revolt…

i hear what you’re saying, but just in our heads? ever tried to brake free?

If people bring so much courage to this world the world has to kill them to break them, of course it kills them. The world breaks every one and afterward many are strong at the broken places. But those that will not break it kills. It kills the very good, and the very gentle, and the very brave impartially. If you are none of these you can be sure it will kill you too, but there will be no special hurry. - Ernest Hemingway ~A Farewell to Arms

thats not a community lol. thats a revolution. community is for the greater good, not to disrupt the entire governing body and make up their own rules.

I guess sometimes a community can do revolutionary things — and indeed, such revolutions are sometimes good… and in particular they can also be for the greater good.[/quote

Yeah, some revolutions are very good.
