Why can't the world be like this. I think everyone should look at this and reflect on themselves. This is why it should be on the main board.

Yes.

This.

This speech is godly.

This is..
This, I need to share it with people. I just felt like posting the speech in case people couldn't watch the video, but the music in the background and the way he speaks makes a big difference.

(Charlie Chaplin):
I'm sorry but I don't want to be an emperor. That's not my business. I don't want to rule or conquer anyone. I should like to help everyone if possible; Jew, Gentile, black men, white. We all want to help one another. Human beings are like that. We want to live by each others' happiness, not by each other's misery. We don't want to hate and despise one another. In this world there is room for everyone. And the good earth is rich and can provide for everyone. The way of life can be free and beautiful, but we have lost the way.

Greed has poisoned men's souls; has barricaded the world with hate; has goose-stepped us into misery and bloodshed. We have developed speed, but we have shut ourselves in. Machinery that gives abundance has left us in want. Our knowledge as made us cynical; our cleverness, hard and unkind. We think too much and feel too little. More than machinery we need humanity. More than cleverness, we need kindness and gentleness. Without these qualities, life will be violent and all will be lost. The aeroplane and the radio have brought us closer together. The very nature of these inventions cries out for the goodness in man; cries out for universal brotherhood; for the unity of us all.

Even now my voice is reaching millions throughout the world, millions of despairing men, women, and little children, victims of a system that makes men torture and imprison innocent people. To those who can hear me, I say "Do not despair." The misery that is now upon us is but the passing of greed, the bitterness of men who fear the way of human progress. The hate of men will pass, and dictators die, and the power they took from the people will return to the people. And so long as men die, liberty will never perish.

Soldiers! Don't give yourselves to brutes, men who despise you and enslave you; who regiment your lives, tell you what to do, what to think and what to feel! Who drill you, diet you, treat you like cattle, use you as cannon fodder! Don't give yourselves to these unnatural men---machine men with machine minds and machine hearts! You are not machines! You are not cattle! You are men! You have a love of humanity in your hearts! You don't hate! Only the unloved hate; the unloved and the unnatural.

Soldiers! Don't fight for slavery! Fight for liberty! In the seventeenth chapter of St. Luke, it's written "the kingdom of God is within man", not one man nor a group of men, but in all men! In you! You, the people, have the power, the power to create machines, the power to create happiness! You, the people, have the power to make this life free and beautiful, to make this life a wonderful adventure. Then in the name of democracy, let us use that power.

Let us all unite. Let us fight for a new world, a decent world that will give men a chance to work, that will give youth a future and old age a security. By the promise of these things, brutes have risen to power. But they lie! They do not fulfill their promise. They never will! Dictators free themselves but they enslave the people! Now let us fight to fulfill that promise! Let us fight to free the world! To do away with national barriers! To do away with greed, with hate and intolerance! Let us fight for a world of reason, a world where science and progress will lead to all men's happiness.

Soldiers, in the name of democracy, let us all unite!

Originally heard it thanks to this, and I always prefered it, but that's probably just cause it's Thrice.

Wow that was amazing

I hate when people give me new bands and artists. Especially during the night, since I spend hours listening to every song, and then 'Related Videos' introduces me to more bands.

:I Good thing the speech put me in a good mood. I'm neutral now.

wut.

You could sleep too.
Tell Sleep about it.

Lolwut?

I'm either too tired or that didn't make sense.
It's probably both, but anyways

I can't sleep because I'm the most impatient fuck ever and I can't wait until tomorrow to listen to it.

I can't sleep because the video pumped me up way to much, also I am "on call" for my job picking up dead people and I have an internship interview at a game company tomorrow, so I am a wee bit nervous.

>>10 1. Sounds like a rather gruesome job to say the least
2. I wish the best of luck for your upcoming interview, hopefully everything will go amazingly

This deserves a bump

Its a dirty job but someone needs to do it and lucky (or unlucky depending how you look at it) im incredibly desynsitized to stuff like this.

Also thanks for the support.

Amazing, it made me so hype so pumped it gave me hope that we can change.

wow this made me cry.
hope. keep hoping.
keep working towards your own peace.

Beautiful and certainly an inspiring speech. I believe this speech gives hope that one day the world might be like that. Let us all learn from these words and do what we can to make a world like this. A better world for the future.

BUMP
this is the most inspirational thing i have ever saw this is what the dollars should do

Bump.
This was awesome... One small tear. :'l

more like nirvana

bump :')

This is awesome... :')

It. was. BEAUTIFUL!!!XD SAVE THE WORLD!!!

I wish that your wish would come true. The world would be full of wonders but instead the world has to be filled with haters. I guess we could all just have to live with it even though we hate how the world is today. GO DOLLARS!!!! <3

This is the very reason I love humans, despite all the idiocy that holds power, there are still men, women and children who have their own mind, their own ideals, their own hearts. And it is their choice as to whether or not they will make the world a glorious place, a miserable pit of evil, or to stand by and do nothing, it is their choice to stand up, or to be stepped on, that is the beauty of free will, not just doing things because you are told to, but because you choose to. Even no choice is a choice, and, for good or ill, there will always be a choice so long as they continue to breath, so long as their hearts continue to beat, there is always a choice. Society has muddied and clouded the reality of what life really is, "don't do that, cause no one else is" it is close to becoming a law, but there is always a choice, instead of laughing or leering at those who are eccentric, you should applaud them! They break the boundaries that society has put into place, they have broken the pattern. A man who came into possession of millions of dollars is now living as a homeless man, a drifter. Not because he has lost anything, but because he has gained everything! To finally realize that what is "Normal" is only just an illusion, a concept that is similar when visiting a different culture!

Sorry, that video just built up that rant in me. ^_^

We all want this... So why instead do we have to be in competition. Why must we instead feel that we ourselves, no matter who we align with, are better. Feel as if we are right, the heroes, and everyone else is wrong and evil?

>>29 it is human nature. It is instinct. When a species gets to populated in one area, they become hostile, sometimes violent. It is a survival mechanism to prevent overpopulation and it is in all animals.

bump

Well I think it's because people are people and the way we are will make it impossible for this to ever happen. As sad as it sounds this will never become reality.

A utopia is a perfect world, one without flaw. In the real world there is flaw all around us. I feel that The Dollars are needed because we do not have a perfect Utopia

Humans can never and will never live in a perfect world. Humans where made with an unique frontal lobe which gives them the ability to judge and make decisions. The reason we could never live in an Utopia is because of our biggest issues. ANGER, PRIDE, VANITY, JEALOUSY, GREED, and SEGREGATION. We live in a world where only the strong survive and if you cant keep up you will be looked down upon by the rest of society.

>>35 Then there are some that live amongst those that society looks down upon simply to raise others and see that angry disapproval on "rest of society's" face.

Anyway, you can argue with it all you want, but fewer truly great words have been spoken by a fictional nazi.

I like the idea,

Random note: after the image of the cyberman I kinda zoomed out and was thinking of doctor who...

bump

i want to live in this world

FUCKING BUMP.

This video is amazing. If only the leaders of the world operated like this. Then maybe we wouldn't be in the mess we're in now.

One can dream, eh?

I see more bumps than discussion.

>>35 You say that we can never live in a perfect world because of the flaws, but there's nothing wrong with trying. You say it as if we'll never change from what we are (currently).

I see nothing wrong in trying. If we can't become a perfect world where everything's happy and sparkling, we may come close, no? It's not about being perfect, it's about improvement.

If we had no problems in the world, that would be a problem in itself. I don't think the speech said anything about creating a Utopia, just the OP. Pft, I'm getting lazy so I'll just make a

tl;dr: Not every human is as horrible as you think. Society can and will improve, the speech was just something meant to inspire people. A Utopia seems far away as of now, but you never know until you try, right?

seriously, everyone needs to see this video. it is truly inspiring.

I just....
damn.
Hearing things like that makes me feel like I have been called to fight a war.
And I more than ready and willing to fight against the injustices that the american government continue to commit, while we sit idly by being lost in our "bread and circuses"

I don't have anything really to add to that besides

HOO-RAH
WE FIGHT.

Vote Chaplin in 2012

>>46

If he was still here, I would.

>>35 yes, it will never be, because humans are not perfect, and we cannot create a perfect world..... but that is the more reason to try, to fight for it, because without it, without the impossible hope to create a peaceful world, we would be driven into chaos and madness and all that would be left would be destruction, so I am glad to see people who believe it is possible, for they keep the madness at bay. Yes, it is impossible for peace to exist for a long period of time, but that is only natural, for if it were peaceful forever, wouldn't the world be boring without conflict?

>>47 Fuck that, what we do, is nominate this video.
And find ways to answer all campaign questions through it.
Then,when it comes time to vote, we present a holographic, yet thinking version of chaplin, so that the people have a concrete image of something to vote for.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but wasn't that in a movie? I don't think he wrote the speech himself, but I forgot who Charlie Chaplin was, so he could be the script writer for all I know.

He was an actor/comedian to my knowledge.
The movie is called The Great Dictator.

So why give Charlie Chaplin all the credit? He read the speech beautifully, but those aren't his words.

>>52

After a quick Wikipedia search, it appears that Chaplin not only starred as the main character, but he wrote, produced, and directed the film. He was also quite supportive of left-wing American politics.

Ahh, that's a different story then.

Wikipedia does a lot (◎_◎;).

>>50 I believe he did write the speech himself, check the description of the youtube video.

>>55 Yes, Charlie Chaplin wrote the entire movie, including the speech.

Wow just wow.If you ask me this is what the dollars are all about.

The dollars will help Charlie. We all will. He is right, we do have the power to change the world . We do have the power to fight for are perfect world. We will help him

I nhave an idea. Why not we try to put this on fox, facebook, twitter, in the news make people see what charlie is trying to do. People will try to help him. lets keep dis it. discus it. ( I know I probally speel that word wrong ok )

>>62
"put it on fox"


lol.

>>63 We can trust me. We can put it on fox news. this is important

I tried to spread this, but all I have is facebook. I hate facebook. I can only get in the same room with open minded people and a computer every once in a blue moon. This will sound weird, but I love all you complete strangers who share the same vision as this. I'm an awkward person because I don't find much to be awkward. It's almost a contradiction.

>>64
Are you using Google Translate?

Why would I want to put it on FOX, and furthermore, why would FOX accept it? Besides, it's not like this is some really unheard of clip. It started great controversy when it was released in 1940. Spread the word, sure, but is it newsworthy to bring a clip from the past to be broadcast? Probably not.
And definitely not on FOX.

>>66 why not? Isn't fox popular? I want alot of people to see it so people will to make that perfect world. You guys might think the DOLLARS are enough. but the DOLLARS are invisible. alot never even heard of the dollars. So im trying to make alot people see it to help us. OK

FOX is popular.
Sadly.
You see, if you don't know this, FOX is radically conservative, misinformative, and in all aspects, just news at it's lowest point. They sensationalize all they do to make for their little knowledge on what they're reporting. They would, if anyone be the type of news station to turn down offers seeing as in their eyes, "the speech is bad since it implies that gays should have equal rights" (for a present-day example) and such. They do honestly think that not everyone deserves equal rights. Facts are facts. FOX is false.

Sorry. i nevee seen fox. Is just that people sometimes talk about it and i thought it was popular sorry

>>69
You probably live in a state with a highly conservative population. Many places in the central and south U.S. buy into that stuff. Every time I here some kid at school try to cite FOX as I credible resource I easily prove him wrong with whatevers hes doing.

FUCK.
*hear.

I've lost too much sleep lately, my spelling is starting to show.

Bump

so any idea show to make that perfect world

True, because of this, I can live my life better. Talking to people, getting to know them, even falling inlove . Thats why i'm really grateful for this "Utopia" of ours.

>>74 He makes no mention of a perfect world. You seem to have misheard that by believing that his speech was about fixing all the world's problems. I'll make this brief, there is no "perfect world" and pursuit of such is arrogant, and was the pursuit of the people Chaplin was making a statement against. The closest you could ever get is making your world perfect for you, no more.

Bump

Super Bump.... That was and amazing inspired speech :)

...holy...

Y'know that tingly feeling you get when you listen to a beautiful song? Yeah, well that is the feeling I felt during the entire video.

Though this may not be important, does anyone remember this? :

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XHrRxQVUFN4

I've heard this so many damn times. It. Is. Amazing.

Whole world should see and hear it. There is nothing more to say.

This describes what the dollars does so well!

>>84 Could you expound upon that?

bump for order

Bump for moar

bump!

No matter how hard we wish even our stars will fail us. Even our family will leave us behind if we are weak or struggling. Even people who we thought were with us will turn. A utopia is my dream. But even the most good willed places will be dinged and dented by its inhabitants.

This is why the world cannot become a glistening Utopia, no matter how hard any person will ever try.

This vid resumes well the Dollars I guess.

But still, a utopia is a utopia and even if we're "united" here online on the Dollars (gender age nationality or religion doesn't matter) the world will never turn out this well.
It's pretty sad but it's called reality, so we should just concentrate on the good parts and fight for what we think is right ;)

The video was dead on, the world is only bad because some people choose to make it bad, and as for your idea of a utopia, one is not needed, a utopis could be something as simple as sitting by a fire with your wife and chil safe in the knowlage noone could take them away from you.
Which sadly now noone can be sure that they wont lose anything to another mans greed.
But with each person willing to do good we are one step closer to each of our Utopias.

bump

bi,p

BUMP

Well, We all have issues. Like the US . They dont drill for oil on their own land and there fore have to go to other places for fuel. To be honest I think the us needs to take a look at other countrys like Japan.They are litarey 50 years ahead. Even tho they had some natural base issue and was able to bounce back cause of US and others. They still bounce back pretty fast. They are appartently doing something we our selfs arent doing. I think it mainly the oil and Researching Advance tech insed of warfare and what not. If you ask me >.> . On the count of their Hologram Base Tech that is...well alot farther then most people would think. Holograms that sing and Holograms now that are able to touch and be touch. We will see more about it maybe 10-20 years from now.. T.T

>>99
...what?
A. The video had absolutely nothing to do with the US other than supporting ideals shared by it. If you didn't figure it out, Chaplin was directly discussing Nazi Germany and the hindrance it caused to world unity. I assume you may be responding to another comment made earlier, but without a reference I have no idea what the fuck you're saying.
B. Japan has as many issues as any other developed nation. The US has serious economic issues, China is a Human Rights hellhole, Japan has a continually depleting food source and a deteriorating population, the Middle East...is all fucked up, most of western Europe is dealing with worsening financial issues based on their attempt to create a joint currency, it goes on. It's easy to complain about the place you live in, but all I'm hearing is the typical whining of a person that has only listened to others complain and not experienced firsthand. Just because one nation is developing something we aren't, who cares? I, for another, am thankful that our already bumheaded government can see that we have more important things to be doing than making flying cars and holograms.
C. "They are litarey 50 years ahead." Assuming you meant "literally," there is no way to do that short of making a time machine. Exaggerations of such proportions do not belong in the kind of statement you were making, so you would have been better just not saying anything about it. Now, Japan is more advanced because the people of Japan have shown an interest in such advancements. The people and corporations of the United States have taken greater preference of the preservation of natural resources and the continuation of older culture as well as keeping space for new developing cultures. We can do that because we have the space to support both interests, and Japan does not. Herp Durf.
D. Along with *literally: *don't *therefore *US *countries *though *were *because *ourselves *aren't *it's *instead *whatnot *touched *(far too many grammatical errors to even attempt)
D2. Why should D matter? Because you are putting your serious beliefs out for everyone to see. It is hard to take anyone seriously when they are both from an English-speaking nation and spell like a 3rd grade C student.

Try again.

>>99 Oh, God, please... Learn how to type. I didn't understand a word of that.
>>100 Zeckarius, I give you a damn lot of credit for being able to translate and even respond to that gibberish.

>>100
Props, man.
This. All of this.

>>100 -.- Fuck you. For one pointing out my grammar when it was actually decent this time around. And as for 50 years. Googled Hologram Tech such as the vocaloids and and touchable Holograms. As for food supply this is true. And as our economic state. Yes but alot of it has to do with oil and fuel along with other things each appartently Japan has figure out. I'm saying why not follow some of their examples and follow the good examples that the rest of the world put up to make our country better.
>>101 I would if some dumdasses would stfu and help me learn insed of bicthing about it. Another words if your going to bicth the ethier put up or shut up.

bump

>>100 true that!

>>103 the dude will not correct your grammar if it was decent in the first place. So.. instead of bitching about >>101 bitching about your previous post, I suggest you do this : sit down, calm down, read >>100.

true, a lot of economic issues arise from fuel but really, that has nothing to do with Japan.. they got their own issues too (that cannot be answered by Vocaloid and hologram technology) and it's easier to say that a country should drill their own land for fuel than to actually do it. You need land that is uninhibited and actually has a supply of fuel that can be accessed by machines.

>>105 Yea, I guess... Just tired of all the middle east bullshit =.= and tired that we don't have many advances in tech feilds much anymore. Plus I kind of want my own personal vocaloid maid XD lol. They havent tap into that yet....but I have a strong fealing it coming and I was using Japan advances as a example. Also as for the grammar not being decent. Hehehe no it could be ALOT worst. Talk to me atfer I wacth K.O.H or squildbillys. You would be like wtf? o.o; lol XD. Plus we have oil over here...Just cant use it due to nature preserv and other matters.

Bump.

Bump.

>>105 I only glanced the Middle East (seriously, I put the least thought into that one than any other.) Now, if you want to cry and bitch because you put up a shitty post, be my guest. I don't have to be the one to rebuke you, there are plenty others here who will gladly do so. My responses are meant to educate WHY these thoughtless posts are an issue and HOW to rethink them to get less flame, but you're obviously more intent on being a vocaloid fanboy than contributing truly relevant information. If you don't want my help than ta Hell with ya.

Annnnywhozen, the main issue is your post had absolutely nothing to do with the vid. If you want to rant, do it somewhere else.

This video is amazing! I got chills just listening to it! ^^ Everyone should hear this and I think our politicians need to take a few notes from this speech and FOLLOW THROUGH with what they "promise" and "guarantee" that they'll do during their term. I know that being in an office is stressful and it's hard to get things done if people argue, but that is the jod THEY CHOSE. They know what their getting into and should do what is right for the people. Ok..had my say ^^ bump

Since someone bumped it up, I guess I'll comment. >>4 Thank you. I usually prefer someone post more than just a vid incase people can't access it for whatever reason.

Now for MY comments. If someone made this speech at a presidential election, I'd vote for them. I'm just sayin'. He's smart, backs up his statements, and it makes sense.

Extremely inspiring video. I'm showing this video to all my friends and I posted this on Facebook. I believe that everyone should see this.

*Claps slowly and sincerely* Truth...This video...Is truth....Truth and amazement. So amazing.

If only people could follow through with these words that Charlie Chaplin had spoken many years ago.

trumendous, stupendous, this is what the world should be like without a doubt there is nothing better than the reality.

This is nice and all, but it doesn't seem possible. I am a cynical person and this does not seem possible to me at all. Among the 7 billion here on this Earth very few live their lives with the tenacity that this speech and many others have had. I just hope that I can be proven wrong.

They just don't make speeches like they used to now a days.

Words full of grace and truth... utopic world.

This video was very inspiring. I thought it was interesting because it was so serious and Charlie Chaplain was a comedian.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EcD7Ik1iKTA
This is the extended. Just go to the point that would be the end of the other video and there's more

I do have a question, and I am asking this seriously, why does he have a Hitler mustache?

>>147 It's from a movie, called The Great Dictator, where it's basically a parody of Hitler and Nazi Germany. Charlie Chaplin is playing said parodied Hitler. Watch the movie for the entire context behind this, because anything more I will say will be spoiler.

BarabiSama is a bitch

this video reflects some of how i feel about the world it's truely an inspiration

150 very unnecessary comment.... And actually just from your name you seem like the asshole here.... Just saying....

And this video is interesting it would be cool if people didn't have the disabilities of harboring hatred towards other for stupid reasons... or can not take a little criticism. .3.

>>152 For the most part we ignore that thing.

I think that slowly this is happening now. I mean people are revolting against unfair governments, IQ is rising every generation and generally the world is becoming a better place to live. It may not be perfect and far from it in many places but we are getting somewhere

:') I had shivers and goosebumps watching this video. This is a beautiful inspiration to the people, and I shall be sharing this video in as many places as possible. :-D

>>148 I kind of figured it was something like that.

*sigh* I wish men like chaplin still exist in the world, but there's so much bs in the world right now. There are too many good men getting corrupted too easily by money and too many men willing to fight to the bitter end to defend their money and greed at the cost of others. We need change now.

Ah, optimism. Pure, unbridled, idealistic optimism, how I love thee. :)

Do you think this thread is really related enough to debate the concept of a utopia itself? I know that wasn't quite the aim of the first post, but there have already been a few conversations about it. I'm curious to know if I can make a new thread specifically for discussing "peace on Earth" in general or if this one is close enough for it.

>>173 This could initially start a debate over what a Utopia is, but I think a thread that's created with the intent of being a topic of discussion about what an utopia is would not go on hiatus as often.

My reasoning is because this thread just kind of states an opinion, where the topic of discussion thread actually gives us something to talk about. Since our motto is "The would isn't as bad as it seems," and most people are actually looking to improve the world in some way, I think that a lot of people here would have some form of input in the discussion. I know I would.

I think that you could make a new thread for this, post the link to this thread, and say that you're remaking it to be an actual topic of discussion. You could probably say something along the lines of, "I saw this thread and watched this video and it got me thinking about what a Utopia is." Then you can link both and proceed to give you opinion. Then, to finish it off, you ask for everyone else opinion.

I'm so confused..

I'm horny

Its because whats perfect differs from person to person

>>186 Good to know

(last one, cool thread btw) bump

cause we were given free will
and we abused that power
we cannot simply all be the same
were to smart from that
our personality differs from person to person
however most personality traits are negative
our mission shouldnt be to make people perfect but rather
to use our negatives to an extent
