America may be first, but I'd guess Europe, then Japan are not far
behind. We have far more "stuff" than people living in the rest of the
world.
Now that you raised the question of how much we consume, what do you
suggest we do to bring us in line with the rest of the world? Restrict
what we buy? Restrict what we eat? How much we travel?
We were fortunate to be born to a family here as opposed to a third
world country, but I don't think we have to feel guilty about it. We've
tried to help other countries to raise there standards of living, but
that is not easy. Some of those country's economy is based on our
consumerism as we buy the resources they have. In some (many) cases the
citizens of those countries are exploited by their own government.

Stop working as much, and use the savings we achieve by stop helping people

Yeah of course that's the answer - they need to tax their way to prosperity!

Cuz it's all about collectivism, right...
You need to go back into orbit, statist.
And the Obamabot quote of the presentation:
"You should have abetter idea of what you owe your individual success
too, which is not so much your own hard work or fine mind, but the
broader society you live in which was produced over centuries and which
you now draw benefit from unknowingly..."
<BARF!>
This kind of collectivist swill, this Marxist veneration of the state,
institutions (but not religion of course), diminution of the
individual's efforts and blame shifting to resources and the fucking
tsetse fly is a steaming pile of rhetorical self-loathing.
Very much your charter.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_School_of_Life
The School of Life was founded by philosopher Alain de Botton[2] and
Sophie Howarth, a former curator from Tate Modern, in collaboration with
a number of writers, artists and educators.
On Sunday mornings The School of Life hosts secular sermons in which
cultural figures are invited to give their opinion about 'what values we
should live by today'.[7][dead link] These theatrical events are usually
held at Conway Hall in London. Past preachers have included Tom
Hodgkinson on Loving Your Neighbour, Geoff Dyer on Punctuality, Sam
Roddick on Seduction and Alain de Botton on Pessimism.[8] The Financial
Times described the sermons as being 'hedged about with all sorts of
ironic paraphernalia, designed to reassure the trendy young audience
that they are not about to be harangued by a religious zealot'.[9]
The School operates a psychotherapy service run by Professor Brett Kahr,
one of Britain’s foremost psychotherapists.
The service is described as offering clients 'a fascinating and valuable
tour of your own psyche'[11] and aims to counter the stigma often
associated with mental health.

China and India each create more waste/pollution. The US makes a
mighty effort to limit and clean up its pollution through several
policing agencies, no other country does anything to curtail their
pollution... Mexico is a huge offender regarding pollution too.

That was unmitigated propaganda.
A pastiche of par-truths with the fallacious conclusion that personal
achievement must always take a backseat to the collective that precedes it.
As if somehow, in the Obamaverse, individual creativity and
accomplishment isn't to be lauded, rather it must be diminished because
some else built the highways we use.
It's sophist neo-Marxist BULLSHIT of the worst kind.

There is a palpable 'little brother' syndrome going on there and it
boils forth in spite such as that.
Meanwhile, by realistic measure, their nation is a major resources train
wreck in the making, so understand that when it comes to pollution and
environmental despoliation Canadia is at best a second tier disaster.
I guess it makes them feel better to blame us, so it always goes.

Bla bla bla, you're so clever. NOT! ROFL! And the webtv reference....
seriously? *You're* making fun of *me* with webtv? Do you not realize that
you have just validated everyone who has laughed at you for it?
One note... you can't lay off the crossdressing stuff in your lame attempt
at humor. You got caught on it already, and we all know about it, and "I
know you are but what am I" doesn't fix it.
Now fuck off and die, you phony little pussy, and next time you decide to
start flinging shit at people outside your own back yard, try to prepare
your freeble little mind for the fact that you need to be willing to take
what you dish out, because someone may do the same thing back at you. If
you're going to keep being a pussy who wants to give shit but screams like a
sissy baby when you get it back, you'll just spend your sad little life
going through episodes like this where your true nature is revealed to all.
I'm done with you now, shithead. That is, unless you want more.
And unless you decide to resume making personal attacks on people who are
trying to discuss reasonable things. A little good natured banter between
rivals is fine, but you cannot seem to understand why it's offensive to
invade other forums and turn on a tirade of hateful personal attacks on
individuals. So if you go that route again, I'll be back on your ass, with
Goatboy, Ronald, and a bunch more tasty morsels. And go ahead and post all
the stupid shit you want in the Chiefs forums... you're not getting any
action because they are too smart to take your juvenile bait.... and
besides, yuou're just not funny.
Now please refrain from being an asshole and I will do the same.... or not,
your choice.
Besides, I can be a much bigger asshole than you when provoked, so do the
smart thing while you have this one opportunity at a truce.

So if they "take" your purse or car or food away from you, you won't
"blame them"?

There are some things in my life that I'd like to get rid of to simplify

I think any silly survey can be made to appear the norm by a complicit

"...the publication presents the results of standardized tests given to

That's out of roughly 4 million, sheesh.
