I too, have noticed how easy it is to make somebody lose their faith in humanity around here. If you want to restore your faith just watch the discovery channel.
To anyone who has 'lost their faith in humanity'

What would it take to restore my faith in humanity? Oh let's see here.
1.A complete dismantling of the military industrial complex.
2.A complete overturning of almost every single drug law in the US, with reforms set in place to modify current DUI/DWI laws to include substance users.
3.A reversal from Private for profit prisons back to state owned prisons
4.Each patent which greatly increases fuel efficiency/alternate energy for cars to be released to the public from the individual oil company that controls them.
Well, that would be a good start, I'm sure I'll figure a couple more things out soon enough.

OT: Hmmm... I don't really know...
I honestly can't say "I've lost my faith in humanity" because, to me, humanity (emphasis on the "human" part) is inherently evil. Therefore, losing faith in humanity would be a good thing.
Awww how cute someone bashing America, how edgy, how true, because the greatest noise comes from the religious fundamentalists, they must be American. God the ignorance of your very typing astounds me and I'm not even American.gunheads said:
Honestly to think that 95% of Americans are what you describe them as; is wrong, biased, assumptive and utterly moronic. I have visited America, I have talked to Americans, hell I'm friends with many of them. Of course there are idiots in America, just like there are idiots in the UK or Canada or any other country. Seriously shut up before you stick your foot even more into your mouth.
I lose respect for anyone who says they lost their faith in humanity. Cut the melodrama and get over yourself.
There are billions of humans out there. It's foolish of you to think you can write off every one of them because you've met some people who hurt your feelings, or because you saw some distressing things on the news. Society today is leaps and bounds from where it was just a century or two ago. We didn't get out of our racist, witch-burning, science-condemning ways by writing everyone off as hopeless, and we won't make any more progress by doing that either.

My faith is pretty flexible. Agnosticism allows that. 
Its these bloody militant atheists you have to beware of.

I've said it once, I'll say it again, the people who say that, and aren't joking generally aren't contributing to humanity themselves.
Watching Glen beck and Sarah Palin have a kick boxing match would probably raise my spirits, though.
To the death.

I'm Italian born, and to be honest you need to get over that. It doesn't make you seem smart, cultured, funny, or edgy for bashing a major world power.gunheads said:
Or maybe you'd like for me to go on about how every person from the UK has bad teeth, drinks tea, and (The Country as a whole) has an incompetent military?
I will never lose faith in humanity. I might lose faith in people, because, let's face it, most people are raging idiots in one way or another. Myself undoubtedly included. We possess the ability to fuck up pretty much anything, and we're damned good at it.
But we also have the potential - even if it's only used once in a generation, or once in ten generations - to create something truly great, be that a government, a technology, a philosophy, or anything else. Every so often, we show that maybe - just maybe - we have a spark of the divine in us, whatever that might be.

Universal tax rates that serve to benefit the majority, universal abolition of the death penalty, world wide consensus on laws of free speech. Equality amongst all people based upon colour, creed, race, gender and sex.

Haha yeah they can be jerks... oh wait I am oneThe_root_of_all_evil said:
Well that being said a disbanding of religion world wide would be a good step
Also a world wide adaptation of a form of democracy that only lets the people best qualified to understand the complexities of the given decision the right to vote. Like only building engineers and geologist can vote on earth-quake building codes.
Whatever i will experience, no matter what, for any reason, i will never think like that.Wise_Smiling_Panda said:
I cannot imagine what it would take to restore my faith in humanity. To lose said faith I bore witness to the horrors of modern ground combat and had my every ideal torn asunder in the process.
I cannot imagine believing in humanity any longer. It is hard enough to believe in the people when those around me are time and again burdened with problems they ought not bear and people elsewhere are forced to deal with things worse than I can even imagine.
My loss of faith in humanity was not the result of some especially stupid comment by a pundit or whatever most people would cite, nor was it a temporary realization. The be brutally honest, the process nearly destroyed me as a person and there are days when the old torments rise again.
I wish I could believe in humanity. I wish I could believe that the world was black and white. I wish I could believe that I was at least fighting for something beyond not getting myself killed. But I can't.
