Re: Societies Problems
In this case, religion is not better than having no beliefs regarding the afterlife. Admitting you're not sure about something is better than simply making something up. You investigate, you think about it. You eventually come to a conclusion. Never let yourself think that it's defiantly the right one though, beliefs can always be updated.
The meaning to life is whatever you give it, it's essentially your project. It has no true meaning, other than that it's a mechanism to allow you to experience.
Education and the knowledge that comes from it is never too much. Human minds were designed to be able to store an exceptional amount of information, more than you'd possibly be able to gather in a single lifetime. Sex education is getting better, it's certainly better nowadays than it was 20 years ago. It's not just a matter of education though, it's the example adults set. Generally, kids grow up believing sex is something to be embarrassed about, and you're quite right in that if adults don't set an example that suggests safe sex is preferable, children will naturally subconsciously do the same.
People having casual sex is not the problem, people having unsafe sex is. A lack of caring, and a lack of control over instinct (especially since people are often drunk at the time) is what creates the STD's and unplanned pregnancies you have today. The laws in place might well be sufficient, but they are rarely enforced, partly because it is difficult to monitor, and partly because society in general doesn't really care about it, so it's not a big vote winner. Still, regardless of Gabriel's activities I stand by what I say. I do not care what humans do, but I do observe that if they are to be in a society without these problems, and without the physiological damage that comes from inhibiting their natural desire for sex, then their attitudes must change towards it. It is also obvious, that religious views are not helping this change.
Most of the problems in your countries economy and services comes from a lack of efficiency and lack of a standardised system. You certainly have the technology nowadays to solve these problems, but it will not be used until people start to care enough about it. NHS dentists are an obvious example. Most everyone agrees that everyone should have easy access to an NHS dentist, but there are no protests about it. Very few people write to their MP's, and it is not mentioned as a political issue. People like to complain about it, but they do nothing. This attitude is what is causing societies problems.
Police are another obvious example. By becoming more regionalised and spending less time on the streets they are losing touch with the public. They are also losing the intelligence information that comes from knowing local people, and becoming (as in the case of the traffic wardens) an annoyance more than anything. People are feeling out of touch with society and government, and it's only going to get worse without a big shift in attitude taking place.
Zimbabwe is an obvious example of the second worst of your kind. The rest of the worlds reaction is an obvious example of the worst.

You're different to me, you have good things happen to you occasionally. You haven't met me in person though. My very soul makes people feel suicidal bad. I know, because I feel it all the time...
The problem is for you, it's quite possible to do what I suggested. I however, can't change what I chose at the beginning of my life. Your future possibilities are broad, but with mine, any that involve being happy (or even just less depressed) are closed off to me. I just have to live with it. When angels begin their lives, they choose not to have a choice. It's the very nature of being angels. God I'm getting depressed just thinking about it...
Love and light are things that affect other people,
