Na, for it to get that bad you need a love for guns, more racism, more consumerism, and well yeah more slumps.
Well Costa Rica has Panama at south which had its problem by separating from Colombia, and then immediately getting invaded by the US, then regaining independence, so yeah i don't see them wanting to stir up problem any time soon XD, then they have Nicaragua to the north, which among some inner troubles has been engaged in constant political struggles over territory, the good thing is that they do care about face, so is not like they can go and mess with Costa Rica, that means allowing their neighbors to mess with them and hard so Nicaragua cant really do anything there, in short Costa Rica is protected by his border neighbors.
Wait ain't that just the Red Cross?
Yeah i am sure they do have internet (if is included in the project), hell some even have web pages when you can follow the progress they made, because i remind you, they are projects that in some cases are being backed by government institutions, not always but some times.
I some times think about it, maybe i should go and live in one, if i get too tired of all this.
Live free, die hard, except in japan when you live chained and die hard, sometimes even at work...
Oh i was using the term more from here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Filial_piety as in filial of family XD, good to know there is that other use for companies which makes sense since a branch is part of a family in economics i guess.
Aaaah, i see, that haha, well that is kinda normal really, since they no longer live together.

Eh? so even Sweden has gang problems, who would have think of that.
Weird i was sure that Sweden had quite a decent military (the equipment at least, the soldiers are never mentioned, but the weapons sure are, weird... anyway the future is drones), but i guess the police is another tale.
Ah no no, one thing is those crazy towns whit weird people living like pilgrims and another is Ecovillages XD, hahaha oh man now i can't stop picturing those crazy isolated small towns.
Well is adults at an age when they can no longer work, are pensioned and they are being taken care by someone else, that someone could be the government, a hospital, an asylum or family, and they don't produce anything really, because for most of their lives all they did was work so now they don't have any real hobbies or entertainment, and are also too old to leave the house.
Filial factions? like in the middle ages? XD, i know about old people being abandoned but not of families dividing into factions, i also know about people getting disinherited but that is different.
Yeah greed is the wall everywhere.
Oh well you talked about being your own self, but if we go into that other approach then sure, what you do in work is not necessarily known at your study place, and what you do there is not necessarily known at your neighborhood, true.

It'll be just as messed up as the US in no time. :L At least we don't have so much guns; violence...
Sweden did have a decent military, then for some reason they sold off huuuge amounts of fully functional equipment to the third world at insanely low prices and decided it was time for an era of peace and... I don't know what they were thinking. Admittedly Costa Rica does do a good job without an army, but wheras they don't have any soldiers and no possibility to provoke, we have a few and thus both the possibility to provoke and to be an easy target. And for some reason the government keeps sending troops to remote locations like Afghanistan to aid the Americans. I don't know what they're thinking... I guess we do have good weaponry though, that's one industry that's still going strong.
Haha, so... do Ecovillages have Internet?
Aha, sounds like the same problem then. I think everyone needs to be involved until their dying day, people need jobs they want to have until they collapse. The 'work now, rest later' ethic is pretty messed up (unless it's a metaphorical 'live free, die hard'.
Filial actually means a branch of a company in SV, just saying (for no reason)... hmm, the middle ages weren't that bad in a lot of ways! Though they were also... bad in a lot of ways. Well I just mean family members move to different areas; build their own families, socialize with their own groups, it's not the same family community any longer.
Another brick in the wall.
Yepp.
