Greetings,

My name is Exile. Many of us joined the Dollars for different reasons, whether it is because they wanted to be part of something big, because they wanted to belong to a community, because they loved Durarara, and much more. The reason why I joined the Dollars is because the dollars is a place with many kinds of people, people with different aims, people with different wishes, people with different desires, people with different backgrounds. I have a unique goal: Changing the world in order to create a better place for everyone. I've seen that many other members shared the same goal, but not with the same conviction. Some believe that changing the world can be done by leaving notes in public places, some believe that changing the world can be done by helping the homeless. I am not saying that they are wrong and in fact, I do agree with them. It changes the world, but the changes they make is too small to have any real impact. I am looking for people who fit the following requirements:
- a deep wish to change the world, to the point of having given up on their on life to realize it.
- skills: I am looking for people who are skilled in a particular field (art doesn't count unless you are really skilled)
- a deep love for mankind. Trying to change the world is easy. But people often do it for the bad reasons. Also, you may encounter many obstacles on your way that could change your mind. I am looking for people who want to change the world for everyone, who wouldn't let themselves get corrupted and who are ready to sacrifice themselves for the sake of everyone.
- hard-working: Nothing can be done if people don't work hard to achieve a goal.
- thinking out of the bubble: I will be clear, people who live their lives by the rules and cannot think for themselves are not qualified to change the world.
- a certain autonomy: You should be able to take actions on your own if needed.
- You must be over 17 years old.

Those are the main requirements that I am looking for. If you meet those requirements, post your email address (not your personal one) here and I will contact you. If you have any question, feel free to post them here as well.

How would you like to change it?

I would like an honest answer, as many have a different view on the world.

I am not asking about anything specific, if you truly want to change the world, then you'll know how to answer to this.

finally someone who is like minded. :3
here is my email:
beyond.dollars123@gmail.com

Look me in the chatroom by the name information. I regularly share information to other dollars members like:
Business info
School life
Uni life (XD close to finishing it)
Travelling info (i am a traveller myself)
Volunteering work (did a lot myself when i was growing up)

Please contact me and we can get together

>>2 I would like the change it overall. It may sounds crazy and yet when you truly want to change the world, you have to consider all aspects. In a general way, improving our current democracy would be a great step. As you know, corruption has a strong presence in democracy so reudcing it would be a first step into improving the current system.
There are many other various ways in which I am going to change the world such as fighting crime, finding missing people, and once I gain enough influence, I could have an impact on the diplomatic level, as well as politics and economics. There are many conflicts around the world, and our currently world is based on cooperation rather than unity. One of my goals is to unite the world, but doing so will be extremely difficult and a delicate process. The people I am looking for do not need to have "changing the world" as their main goal. They can have their own personal goals, but as I wrote before, they need to have a deep wish to change the world, to the point of renouncing on their own life if needed.

sorry I made a few grammar/spelling mistakes but I didn't sleep much.

Forming a Organisation called Dollars GmbH yea its doable but you need a concept to get money and your idea must reach other well its like 50/50 you Start little and can end big people will like your idea your Plan and then the more you get then you big as google / Apple/ Amazon But thats, thats just dreaming for now

I would love to help change the world. Email me with what you want me to do.

I wouldn't necessarily like to join your movement, yet.

However, I would enjoy it if you were to update me on your progress.

Hi, I'm new and I would like to help, I'm a freshman in highschool and I've been thinking of what I could do with my talents too.

Hey, I'm back, this is my email, please email me about exactly what we should do, if u have any ideas and I'll share my ideas with u too.
Email: heartshadow46@gmail.com

To those who sent their email addresses, I sent a message

Email me. I have some ideas that can change everything.
ravancha8395@stu.d214.org

Alright, I sent you an email.

Bump

All I have are language skills, does that count?

What exactly do you mean by language skills? That term is too vast and vague.

I just want pointless murder to stop. Live is hard enough as it is killing just makes it that much worse.

wanting murder to stop is one thing. Making it stop is another one.

agreed wholeheartedly.

Seems like you don't like me. www

Greetings Exile,

Whilst you claim to have an admirable 'ideal', in the first place, what does 'making the world a better place for everyone' even mean? Surely such an ideology is merely a convienient fantasy? After all, if you eliminated murder, as some suggested, then you have prevented those killers from doing what they wish and therefore made the world a worse place for them. Therefore, you simple goal of attempting to 'make the world a better place for everyone' has actually made it a worse place for some. And claiming that other do 'not have real conviction' is merely an arrogant statement lacking evidence. Where is your proof that they lack convication? Why should we trust your conviction? In the first place, if you wish to change the world, why are you starting in a small community like this? Surely it would be best to start somewhere larger where you could get the world out faster? In the end, all you have here is some sweet-sounding ideology, that shall most likely achieve nothing...

I have to say that no matter what you do, it may never stop. Murder is like bullying. No matter how hard you try to avoid it, there is always at least one person in the world who continues to do it. In the end, it may help a few people become aware, but it won't stop it. It just so happens that it's a part of life. It's inevitable. I'm sorry if some of you don't agree but this is just my personal opinion.

Dear Sadir,

'making the world a better place for everyone' is a generalization. Obviously, it would only be a better place for innoent people and those who deserve it. The proof that they lack conviction is in the actions they take. And here again, it is merely a generalization because it would be impossible to take into account each case. What you didn't get is that by saying so, I would light the "candle" in some people's heart, and if they believe I am wrong, then they will try to prove it by their actions. Why you should trust my conviction? You don't have to. You can trust it or not, it doesn't matter to me. I didn't start in the Dollars, you are assuming something completely wrong. I already started looking for people in different places. I never said that I am looking for Dollars members, I simply said that I am looking for people who fit the criteria I want and who want to change the world.
It may be an ideology, but only a coward would give up without even trying. If you are not even willing to try, then it will simply stay an ideology. Whether I succeed or not, I will at least be proud of trying and I will accept the results.

You can't entirely make the world "a better place" because of its blemishes. No matter what you do, they will always be there. It's part of what makes the world.... well... the world. Even though we want world peace, there will be war etc. It's what we call life. Even though I believe this, I also believe that we should be able to make an impact on the world. Everybody on Earth has a purpose and a meaning. So please, anyone reading this remember, you have a place in life. Don't think that no one cares because that's not true. You are valuable to someone. No matter where they are around the world. You aren't useless and you DO matter. You don't have to try hard to be noticed. Don't put on a lot of make up to look pretty or do something reckless just to get someone's attention. Please everyone, just be yourselves. We are all unique. Express your inner uniqueness. That's all. Thank you.

PS: I've never said anything about eliminating murder being part of my plan. People can change the way in various ways. And as Saika said, murder may never stop. Let's be realistic, it is not about creating a utopia, it is about creating a better world. There is a big difference between the two.

Thank you for acknowledging my thoughts and I agree. Even if we don't make a HUGE impact. We can still try, even if it's not a lot. At least we did something.

Try. Even if you fail, it's better than staying silent and not doing anything at all.

Saika, your message only takes into account people who live somewhat a proper life. It is not about looking pretty or getting someone's attention, it is about caring for other people's life. Your message may reach some people, but it will never reach those who are at war, it will never reach the kids who are dying of hunger, it will never reach those who are being kidnapped and killed because of terrorism, it will never reach the refugees trying to flee their country, etc. Sometimes, you have to stop looking the world through your eyes and start looking at it through the eyes of other people.

I know this and I have considered it. I have thought about it a countless amount of times. My teachers even express these events to us at school. I'm sorry if you see what I say in that way but I have given it a lot of thought. I always say to myself, 'what can I do?'. I know that one person can't really do anything for those purposes. So, even though my message might not reach that many people, it still stands. Also, we should try to help as many people as we can. We can start by donating or something of the sort. I along with my class at school, decided to donate $200 dollars to children in Africa who need food. it may not be a whole lot of money, but it's a start. And also, it's important that nobody gives up. Keep trying. And maybe, just maybe, we may truly be able to change the world. But, that will only work if we all STICK TOGETHER.

I'm sorry if what I say may have offended you in any way. But I DO understand. My family in asia has had problems themselves and some of my family members have even been killed because of other people being mad at them for reasons that I don't know of. So please, understand that I do know what people are going through. I try to help in any way that I can. So again, I'm sorry if I offended you. Gomenasai.

Well well, from the looks at it everyone have own personal opinion. But from my perspective i see a lot of people who CARES.

I like it. It's one thing to be pessimistic but try to find someone who wants the world to be a better place is rare. Hey at least we are talking about to make a change rather than doing anything right?

Exile dude please reply the email. I need your current attention ASAP :3

doing nothing* uggghhhh.....

Hello Beyond. Do you happen to be bored at the moment? And also, thank you for noticing how many people care. Many people DO care and I thank you for noticing.

Greetings once again Exile,

You are certainly correct in your argument against me making the assumption that you started here, if what you say should be true. However, your ideal is a 'generalisation' and you would only make it better for 'innocent people'? Tell me, in the first place, who decided what was 'right' or 'wrong', 'innocent' or 'guilty'? Aren't you merely arrogantly judging such people by yourself? And, if you are doing such, then surely it could also be argued that you yourself are not 'innocent'? And you would have 'pride' in striving for your ideology? Why? What did it achieve? What makes your 'trying' better than anyone else who did not try? In the end, in it not all mere vain arrogance? 'I am better than these other people because they kill or commit other wrongdoings, therefore I shall attempt to improve the world'. That kind of sentiment is mere arrogance, and will undoubtedly lead to animosity by those whom you arrogantly say are 'wrong'.

>>36 Hi hi saika. I am going to have a BBQ in the next 2 hour actually. So yeah hanging around here. I would to have a chat with you in the Durarara chat :D

Dear Sadir,

I have to about disagree with you on this part. You may see it as arrogance but others may see it differently. It doesn't exactly meant that Exile is better than anybody, it mostly states the obvious. Terrorism, Murder, and Kidnap can be seen as evidently "wrong" in may people's eyes. It may be true that no one can be considered truly "innocent", but accusing someone of being arrogant for trying to change the world seems wrong to me. I'm very sorry if you disagree, but this is my opinion.
P.S. There is no need to be straight up RUDE about it. Your message may be taken as very offensive to others. I'm sorry, but please don't talk about someone else's "arrogance" if you are going to be rude to them in return.

Sorry Beyond. I barely saw your message until now. That's cool!!! You get to have a BBQ! I'm stuck here at home with no AC doing homework. UUGHH!! XD

/saged

???

>>40 well i do have work but what the heck it is like very sunny outside and i get to eat lots of food muahahaha

Hey hey if you want to chat up just go the the chatroom, search for my name :3

Greetings Saika,

Firstly, I must thank you for disagreeing, after all, without debate and questioning, nothing would ever progress. However, in relation to your point about right and wrong, I would say that merely because the majority believes one thing does not make it correct. After all, the majority once believed the world was flat? Did that make it so? Surely, most people in the current times would disagree... Why should it be any different with right and wrong? Furthermore, certainly I accept that arrogant is subjective, however, surely, if we accept it as such, then that would mean objectively the action of trying to change the world is both arrogant and humble? After all, you are, in the end, trying to force your ideology on an entire world of humans... And finally, as for my posts being 'rude' I would merely say that 'rudeness' is a subjective concept, and in the end, they are merely words. Any offense taken from it is what your brain chose to assume from the words, you cannot be certain of their true intent, therefore I shall merely post as I wish.

I thank you for replying Sadir and although you believe that they are merely words, I have to disagree. I they were JUST words, then wouldn't cyber bullying not exist? I have to agree with you on the arrogance and humble part, though. It kind of makes a form of a paradox. Again I thank you for accounting and replying to my message.

I'd love to Beyond but you may need to help me on that part. You see, I am new to the dollars and have only truly been a member for about an hour and a half. (Heh, even so, I've already gotten myself caught up in a very heated conversation.) Can you explain how?

Cyber bullying exist because the users apply meaning to the words themselves and then derive emotions from those meanings. After all, surely the letters and words themselves are nothing by concepts we can see? The oringinal writer could write anything, however all meaning has to be applied by the reader. Therefore, in the end, it is the reader's mind the bullys them, not the words themselves.

*sigh* That may be true but, most times, cyber bullies have full intent on either teasing someone or making someone feel miserable/embarrassed. Although it's the reader's interpretation, It's also the bully's full on intent to do so.

lleeeeeeeee

Whilst that may be true Saika, surely, in such a case it is hard to say what is right? After all, a writer could offend someone without meaning too, and a bully could make someone happy without meaning too. Whilst original intent certainly exists, unless you are certain of that intent, surely merely not writing is pointless? After all, using such reasoning, it could be argue that no-one should ever write anything...

???

I am suggesting, that lacking the knowledge of the intent of the writer, then surely it could be argued that nothing at all should be written for fear of harming others?

>>51

Take this. It should contain all the info that you need
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3t9tUe63prI

Cheers. GTG to BBQ now be back in 3 hours

If you put it in that sense, then if I would have to agree. That is, IF the writer truly doesn't have the intent of harming others. Some bullies do it truly on purpose. Some people sometimes say/post that they straight up hate someone or they threaten them. That is intentional. If you can understand me, cyber bullying is mostly of that sense.

Ok. Bye Beyond! Hope you have fun!

The problem with the internet is, that it is anonymous, after all, neither you nor I currently know whom the other is, correct? Therefore, before inferring their intent from their words, surely you would need to know whom they are. After all, words are easily written, and it is very difficult to know the intent without knowing the persona.

Everyone in this world is govern by their own set of law. For example:

A-Stealing is not ok.
B-Stealing is ok.

It is up to an individual to choose whether which one should they take as their principle.

Someone might choose A where they have a good life, proper life, proper job, they work hard to get the money, pay the bills rent etc. So they choose to take A

Someone might choose B because he grew up in a harsh environment where food is scarce. He has to feed his/her children. And stealing was the only option that he/she had to make. At that time, he choose B

In my opinion, I believe in the here and now. Sure we can debate on the future, what if, what if. But in the moment what did you choose? Would you really choose B when your children is hungry to the core, not eaten for 5 days and they might die? I believe in this situation there is no right and wrong.

I believe in action and consequences. If you choose to do this action, you gotta live with the consequences. There is no right and wrong.

Greetings Beyond,

It is interesting to hear your opinions. In my case, I would agree with you, there are merely actions. 'Right' and 'wrong' were invented by humans and are merely labels they place on such actions and the requirements for placing such labels constantly change.

Sadir, that is considering that you don't know the person who sent the message. I think we had an understanding. In cyber bullying, there are people who KNOW who is sending them the message. In your case, you are implying that you DON'T know. I understand now and even still, we may still have different opinions.

I have to agree with Beyond. To people with normal lives, it is east to say that you would choose A since you have no motive to steal in the first place. To someone else around the world, B would be their only option due to the crisis that they are in and they don't even truly consider option A.

If you think in the multiple perspectives of people all over the world, the answer may vary.

Certainly, I would say the answer is subjective. However, if that is the case, then how can you say anything is either 'right' or 'wrong' universally? Surely, trying to make everything fit one person's view must be arrogant?

I'm not saying that you see it in one person's view. You have to see it in everybody's. You have to think about what it would be like in their shoes, how they must be feeling, what their emotions are. You have to understand someone first, or else you might interpret them wrong. (Wow, isn't that the definition of empathy?) Anyway, ya. You should understand before you judge.

However, that would beg the question of whether it is every possible to truly understand another human. After all, the difference between anima and persona can be rather large, and without truly understanding the anima, can you make fitting judgements?

Ok, I think I'm gonna have to fully agree with you on that.

It was nice talking to you Sadir. Since this is my first time with the Dollars, I'm glad that I got to have this conversation with you. It was surprisingly fun! Again, thank you!!

fannydollars186@gmail.com

Would you be as kind as to name an example of a 'job'?

Thanks.

>>69 An example would be to locate missing people or criminals on the run.

Is there a to leave after joining?

Are people allowed to drop out?

People can leave by simply writing a letter explaining why they want to do so and as long as they don't hold any sensitive piece of information.

>>70 Exile, I would once again question both your means and your goals here. If it was really so easy to locate such people don't you think it would be done already? Or do you have a specified plan to solve such a problem? Furthermore, even if you were somehow successful, you will anger many parties, and upset many people. Do you truly wish a mere group founded by random internet users is strong enough to handle that?

>>71 Faraday, I would put it to you that exile is not exactly making a crime syndicate or mafia here, if you wish to leave or long longer participate, what can they do to stop you? This is the dollars, we are colorless and have no rules. Just do as you wish.

Sadir, sometimes you have to stop talking and do something instead. It is easy to criticize everything but it is another thing to do something. What we will do depends on what we CAN do. It would be mere foolishness to attempt something that you no chance of accomplishing.

Also you are still getting something wrong. It is true that we are in the dollars here, but not every person I will recruit will be from the dollars. Therefore, the group I am trying to make isn't a dollars group. If you wish to get into a dollars group who want to change the world, you can try to contact Dollars Act or Dollars International.

>>74 Actually, Exile, on the contrary, you are the one with the wrong idea here, I was suggesting to faraday, that being a dollar and an individual himself, if he no longer wishes to follow a group he can merely leave. As for your other point, certainly, nothing will change without action, however taking such major action as 'changing the world' without careful thought is also folly, and criticising and questioning ideas leads to their improvement and refinement. Furthermore, I would question, that if you group merely acts within it's own means, do you truly expect to 'change the world'? The organisations with power currently as unlikely to be inclined to share their power, and if you are only changing minor events that wouldn't affect them, then can it truly be said that you are changing the world? It's some food for though in either case.

Of course, taking actions without thinking carefully about what to do is foolish, that is why I am making a strategy. However, even if I was to make one, you always need to improve your strategy.
What you are talking about in your questions are factors that can only left to the notion of uncertainty of the future. We won't know until it happens. And of course, it is not changing the world if your actions don't have a real impact. That is why I talked about a real impact at the beginning.

>>76 How am the factors I am talking about uncertain? If you truly do manage to somehow affect the 'whole world', then you are undoubtedly going to irritate at least one, if not more, powerful organisations. Futhermore, your ideals here are too vague. Tell me, what is a 'real impact'? You have go on about changing the world and making this impact, but you have not once suggested even a theoretical way of how to do so...

I think you misunderstood what I was saying. The uncertainty of the future is a basic concept in the art of war. You can have a vague idea of what will happen in the future, but you cannot be sure of what exactly will happen, who are all the people will become allies or obstacles, etc.
I will repeat it: we will do what we CAN do. Changing the world is a vast concept and there are many ways to do so. I ask for the people who want to join to have some autonomy, because they can take actions by themselves if they believe those actions will change the world. A real impact means that what you do will affect society physically and psychologically (every aspect in general).
However, I cannot tell you more as you are not among the people I am looking for.

Naturally, you cannot be certain of what will happen, however you can logically assume you will have at least one opponent, else there would be no war. Futhermore, if you members have autonomy, then your operation can be corrupted or have it's integrity destroyed by a mere one member, how will you overcome such a weakness? Furthermore, tell me, do you really think it'll be that easy to affect society so much? War, Death, Disease, and many other 'disasters' happen daily and society pays little heed. What makes you think that your organisation could affect such a large group when they are already exposed to such problems and merely ignore them?

This is all very interesting, but also very irrelevant. This is for member introductions, not long debates about how people want to "change the world". As if such change could occur on a website like this. /saged

Ritvik,
You shouldn't be so pessimistic about things. It's better to try than do nothing at all. To you, it may be a lost cause. But, others may believe in this and give it a try themselves. Answer this, how is anything in the world going to change, if you don't do anything to try and change it? There is a possibility that this little project might not work, but if we don't try, then who else will?

Plus, you shouldn't doubt the Dollars that much. If you are a member, then surely you believe in what other people have to say. Have faith in your fellow members!!! Don't take this offensively, but I would like to ask you a question. If you doubt this website and it's members that much, then why exactly are you here?

There is no inherit right or wrong in this world, those lables are just artificial constucts. Right and wrong are held by positions of authority, that's the way it's always been, so how could anyone know this truth you speak of? Don't you see the reality is that truth long ago became nothing more than a shadow of itself; it's a mere echo of the past now.

wolfeimmer.dollars@gmail.com

I am trully interested in hearing about your "plan".

I'm willing for a message of yours , after that i'll tell you about my ambitions to "change the world"

>>83 An excellent quote, and rather appropiate given the topic of conversation...

Why thank you Sadir. ^^

Saika

Funny how you completely disregard the entire point of my reply. This thread doesn't belong here. Regardless of what I personally think, this thread should be moved or deleted entirely. You do realize this is for introductions?

Then where do you suggest it be put? The main? What if someone says it should stay here and it shouldn't be on the main? Everyone thinks diffrently and has diffrent opinions on things.

Ritvik,

To add, I did not completely disregard the point of your reply due to the fact that in your reply, you stated, '... as if such a change could occur on a website like this.'. That is the part of your reply that I answered to.

Sorry to tell you that Ritvik, but you are wrong, this thread belongs here. I clearly introduced myself through my post.

>>90 That is also true. You DID make your introduction along with your post. So yes. It is an introduction.

I totally agree with you but my problem is that I dont have this dollar@gmail.de e mail adress... i know that somewhere here I can create it but i dont know where..

oh..and my english is not the best (im from germany)
but I hope everyone understand me :D

Ey moron, Fuckin moron. If youre looking for people to change the world, youre in the wrong place.

IT IS VERY RUDE TO CALL YOUR FELLOW MEMBERS "FUCKING MORONS"!!!! I KNOW THAT WE HAVE FREEDOM OF SPEECH ON THIS SITE BUT THAT IS JUST RUDE!!!!!!! IF YO MUST KNOW, THIS SITE DOES.TRY TO HELP PEOPLE.OR "CHANGE THE WORLD" IN A SENSE. WE HELP PEOPLE BY DOING MISSIONS AS SEEN ON THE MISSIONS BOARD. IF YOU ARE GOING TO BE THIS RUDE AND BITCHY BY CALLING GUT FELLOW.MEMBERS MORONS THEN YOU CAN LEAVE!!!!!

P.s. My spelling is kind of bad because I was typing this really fast and auto correct wasn't being very kind.

"Gut" was supposed to be "your" (I don't know where auto correct got gut in the first place)

There are a lot of unessecary periods
I'm saying this so that my message makes sense for those who thought that the grammar was horrible.

I like what you believe in Exile. I would also enjoy making this a better world, however I can.

Lol. What makes you think what you say here matters? Most likely none of you will do anything to impact the world in a meaningful way. Neither will I, but at least I'm not crying on the forums on how the world needs to be changed. Humans are flawed beings, there will never be long lasting change.

If you are fatalistic, so be it. Your opinion on something doesn't mean that you are right. You aren't God, you don't know whether we will succeed or not, you simply criticize because you are incompetent yourself. What matters are not the results, but the fact that we tried.

I want to give it a try!
I already make a mission but no one respond so it looks like that will not make something. Tell me your ideia, what to do and if I can help I help

@Exile I want that the world now our names I want that they know Dollars exist I want to know I can make a diference and I want to know people know that the community Dollars or gang Dollars what do u want to call it make a diference in the world
