Constitution Amendment: Explain our perspective on this world.

PP Pirate Praveen Public Seen by 27

Under "Why Indian Pirates", add to "No one asked us how we think this world should be" the following.

"We should no longer accept what we supposedly cannot change. Instead, we need to change what we cannot accept."

I think this will give a better perspective to our mission. Please share your thoughts.

@karthikeyanak , That is what we collectively has to figure out. Unfortunately there is no blueprint available to us.

But even before that we have to agree what to change and why is it like that. Unless we know what to change and root cause for it, we can't define how.

So first step we have to come up with some of the things we cannot accept and we need to change. For me inequality is at the top of the list. For some corruption is a top priority.

Once we have this list, we can look around, research and find out the reasons. Then we will come to the question of how to change.

@neelgupta the idea here is to find a common minimum agreeable principles to work together, and not blindly follow some list of principles coined by someone else. Each of the principles listed in our constitution is up for debate and we can always add more things as and when required. We added non-violence, we redefined equality, and we are debating each line of the constitution. Feel free to improve, correct or add new ideas.

@neelgupta read this interview of @shyambalakrishnan http://oneworlduniversity.wordpress.com/2014/08/30/towards-unitive-life/ for his perspectives on the society and capitalist system.
