Huh, I guess I'm still a bit confused because what you just wrote seems a little bit different than the first post you made opening this thread.  In that post you said "But we are talking about RPI, PRD, intoxicated with our "gentle" lives, angry if oil jumps 1% ..."


That statement along with the title of the thread I interpreted to imply that you perceive us (when I say us, I mean those of us from the United States posting in this forum specifically since you mentioned our silly discussions of RPI and PRD) as spoiled or "gentle."  I didn't catch the part about your desire to see technology advancements in there.  Oh well, I guess it's my mistake.  

Oh wait...that last part of your last quote where you said "moral people should not build their own standards on other people's suffering!"  Who exactly are you referring to there?  I don't want there to be any more mixups.  Could you please elaborate and let me know who you are referring to with that statement?

Thanks,

Mat

Hi Mat!

...intoxicated with our "gentle" lives, angry if oil jumps 1% ..

My intention was to put all of us (NOT only people from US), including myself it that category... Also that was a general statement for average man life in "NON-3rd world countries"...

...specifically since you mentioned our silly discussions of RPI and PRD) as spoiled or "gentle."
"Silly discussion" is ALSO My discussion...
I refer on all OUR problems in "more or less money" category... This can be silly if we compared it with suffering of those children there...

...you said "moral people should not build their own standards on other people's suffering!"  Who exactly are you referring to there...

I am referring on all people who consider themselves moral and free and who can find justification for all that in my first post.
There is NO ethnic, national, racial, administrative or any other affiliation or restrictions...

It seems that my knowledge of English language is problem ... I apologize for that!

Hey people, I like America!
Oh hey wow, so you are a good guy after all!  That's great news.

So I guess the only thing I'm confused about now is your hope that the price of gas will increase 100X.  As far as I can tell the only thing that would happen there is the global economy would crash and burn.  Millions of people would lose their jobs and be unable to provide for their families.  Sounds like you love us Westerners so clearly that can't really be your "hope" can it?  

There are 3.78 Liters in a gallon.  If gas was $100 per liter that means it would be $378.00 per gallon.  It would cost me $9,450.00 for a tank of gas.  I would need 27,794 subscription sales per week to be able to get to work and back.  If you "like America" how can you hope for that.  

Sorry, but I choose to take your hatred personally.  I wasn't complimenting the photo of yours I linked above but rather expressing concern that your true "hope" is revealed there.  

Yes I like America like every other free country... Maybe that is not "love on first sight" , I haven't desire to live there (Croatia is quite good for me), but certainly this is not any type of hate...
$ 100 is just figurative matter, so I am surprised with your calculations ...
It represents only my desire for new technologies and abandoning dependence on oil ...
Maybe then they would stop wars and "revolutions" in those countries that have a bit more oil than average (Libya, Syria, Iraq, Iran, etc)... What a coincidence!
I'm sorry that you also misunderstood my picture ... It should be only a message that calls on caution. Dramatic image that should cause a positive reaction!

P.S.

I just wanted to send a message that "moral" people should not build their own standards on other people's suffering!

MatHayward this is "off topic" part of this forum... So this theme can be appropriate for this topic... I am glad you like my photo... ;)

I don't want to blame/hate any country or anybody, just politics and collective consciousness,  there is no border,nation,race for that...
Many Americans are losing their sons and daughters in modern wars, also they lose their living standard every day...

There is no "black/white" conclusions in my life...
I 'm actually "crippled" for prejudices ... I grew up during the war when I had all of conflicted nations among my family and friends ...
So, I can not be fascinated by anything other than objectivity ...

I'm sorry if I offended anyone,I do not mean to!
This is only desire for knowledge from facts...

P.S.

Great post and point Wut! Lobbies! Not nations, even politics... Just lobbies!  
Thank you wut and dbajurin and other who understand!

Hey people, I like America!
It is probably good that the strongest force on the world comes from a nation which is the sum of all the nations of the world ...
I'm talking only about the "desensitization" of us who belong to the supposedly more developed world...
Here lies the greatest danger, not from there, some renegade countries...

430
^^^ What's all this got to do with the price of oil? What about beer? Beer costs more than oil.

A liter of gasoline costs cca $2 in Europe...  I do not know what is the price per liter in America ... Perhaps here lies the answer ...

Beer costs more in Croatia than in USA... 8)

431
Whats the price of oil got to do with it?

Before you go banging on about the bombing of a bunker in Iraq and critise the USA or UK then you should have a think about the atrocities committed by Croatia in the not too distant part during the various wars in the Balkans.

Lagereek is right with out the US and UK taking a stand the world would be in a pretty crapy state............
We know about the crimes of the Croats in the last "war" and today we are still paying for it .... Every day we are all aware of  this and we have to deal with it...
 For us there is no collateral victims like for NATO or any big force...
No matter if I am Croat, Serb or some other small nation, slowly becomes clear who started the war in this region and why...

432
I am also shocked by your comments too!

I just can not believe you can find a justification for this destruction in some historic wars, such WW2!
Also, who is talking about "USA and England-evil rants", Macdonald's, or "Arbeit macht frei"!? I am talking about innocent kids...
Is it okay to weep for the victims of the WTC, while these children are categorized as "fighting against Nazism"
On the same way Nazzzis  were searched in history to find reasons to eliminate Jews  and convince half of Europe through propaganda with a theory that they are doing "right thing"!
These comments are enough proof that the world can expect new world war!
This state of awareness is a precondition for a new collective suffering ...

Also, I know a lot about world history... History is my another passion so probably I know more than average man on this world...

I understand that it is easy to find excuses for the "intervention" as long as the war cannot come in your garden!
But in fact you do not know what actually start wars, you have to experience it
For sure, every smart man can see lot more of these "catalysts" in today's Western society than elsewhere before ...
The administration still holds our civilization together, but if the crisis remain, you will see much greater horrors than you can see now on the Middle East or elsewhere ... You will see what you neighbor is able to do after "schooling propaganda", movies, games and politics ...
Also, It has no connection with nation, religion, race, only with psychology...

Off Topic / I hope that oil will cost $ 100 per liter soon!

To finally end up that story!  :'( :'(

This morning I watched an Italian documentary film ... The expedition was traveling by trucks from Italy to the Pacific and back ...
This episode was in Iraq ...
They showed the place where the bomb shelter hit by U.S. "smart" bomb and killed 1,200 people inside ...
I am from Croatia, my country has gone through the war 20 years ago, although I have not seen or heard anything of war, only through the TV, because I live in a part of country where wasn't war, but this is something different...
This morning I saw in that documentary what is really terrible, shocking, disgusting ...
What "advanced" western civilization can make to the poor part of this world ...
They showed little children hands "glued" to the walls, they were carbonized on 2000 degrees Celsius, which was produced by that airplane bomb ...

 But we are still talking about RPI, PRD, intoxicated with our "gentle" lives, angry if oil jumps 1% ...
People..., their little hands are still there, fossilized on the walls and ceilings in 3D!!!  :'(
I am desperate .... :-[ :-\ ???

Canon / Re: Canon 5D Mark III: Official announcement
« on: March 07, 2012, 04:23 »
They have preorders at one store in Australia for the Mk3 in Australia at $AUD4199 , the Mk2 is $AUD2399. That's a significant difference.   
What did the 5dMKII list for orginally in USD ?

So basically about $900 more than the price in the US. Same as everything else in Australia - you have to pay significantly more.

Come to Croatia to see how prices can be high for professional equipment... Smaller market greater prices...
Once one american contributor told me that probably 100$ mean a lot for us...
I had to put "grocery prices" in one post to proof him that 100$ in USA worth much more than in this part of Europe....

Is it truth that full frame optics is much cheaper for Canon than for Nikon?

I think the "problem" isn't that the mk III isn't good. All the complaining exist because the mk II was SO GOOD! (it's hard to improve on something that is almost perfect)

Less price, more megapixels, one step up in image quality, something about 60fps on fullHD, and some other things...
Probably then it can be SO GOOD again...

As we can see Canon easy goes on "kiddie cam" side... Usual that was Olympus place...
Also, I like Olympus, they have excellent optics, IS in camera body,  the best sensor cleaning and other good things...
So now is right moment to see Olympus full frame camera (E-7) with good price to win from shadow!!!  ::) :P

Newbie Discussion / Re: How to improve visits in fotolia
« on: March 01, 2012, 04:35 »
You are getting smaller part of earnings on the most of stock agencies...
So why to promote their sites, you can make your own and earn 100%...
Also, if you promoting your portfolio on Fotolia, customer will probably want to see other images there, not only yours...
So you are doing their part of business and likely you will not see much benefits...
