If you could make a difference in this world, what would you do
 
Alright, so technically we can make a difference in this world, but it's doing little things like turning off the lights, saving water, or donating what little money you have to an African charity, sure they go a long way, but if you could do one thing to set things right (what is right is a matter of opinion of course), then what would you do?
Now there's alot of things in this world that need to be fixing, all of these are basically our fault anyway (or americas :P), but you only get to choose to fix one thing, and any way you want.
I would lock all of the world leaders in a room, untill they all sorted out their differences.
Also, I'm sorry if this has been done before, but I wanted to get present opinions.
Also, I sence alot of potential for spam, so spammers beware :K

Help three people on the condition that they help three other people on the very same condition.

Pay It Forward?

I wouldn't do anything on the basis that the worlds fucked up already without someone thinking they're smarter than everyone else trying to fix it. And every action may have unforseen consequences eg:

"Oh noes, we've made the same mistakes again. Wheres WOF when we need him now?"

Humanity needs to learn from its mistakes, not be given a free 'Do pass go, Do collect £200" card.

Give me an Illgeal Bowel disruptor.

Justice is served! Nice and warm and creamily!

T-nex 01-16-2008 02:16 PM

I'd make the people less stupid and ignorant.

I seriously fear this new generation of stupid, uneducated people. They are the ones who are gonna be leading the country later on.

Actually the last hundred or so generations have been stupid and ignorant too.

The dependent variable here is technology.

NO! IT'S WORSE! THE JESUS IS COMING!

Repent, ye fucking heathens.

Anyhow, the world is in an immensely better position than it was even 50 years ago. That doesn't mean it's in a good position. Just a better one.

we're already there, and dont we bloody know it.

OT: raise supermarket purchasing prices for milk and meat. this simple act would be one step towards helping Great Britain conserve its countryside.

I'd destroy the US' military power, as well as China's, then drain both their natural resources, then force them to export and migrate away from those places, and fill them with giant bears or something.

Then, get all the world's people who are actually decent to live up on the mountains, then flood the planet, then blow up any jerks who survived, then start over on the newly-formed island chains.

The Northwestern tunneling explodebear will soon be upon them.

Honestly, did ANYONE catch the Transmet reference in my earlier post?

Havoc 01-16-2008 04:25 PM

For one I'd destroy religion and second I'd kill all stupid people.

I guess we wouldn't have alot of people left.

Disgruntled Intern 01-16-2008 04:38 PM

I'd legalize cannibalism.

metroixer 01-16-2008 04:45 PM

I would destroy rap from the face of existence.

I don't like rap :P.

Babyback ribs. Mmmmmmmm.

skillya_glowi 01-16-2008 05:12 PM

Basically there are only two plagues in this world: Pessimism and ignorance.

There are a lot of things I'd like to change, including elimination or conversion of categories such as the PETA, militant vegetarians, militant feminists, especially people who follow their religion in an extremist way. Yes maybe Christ will come and damn us sinners to hell but I don't want to hear about it.
Also the crime rates bother me. It really makes me sick to hear of acts of such violence against people who didn't deserve it in any way. It'd be great to stop that from happening.
And then somehow expand the world so overpopulation wouldn't be a problem.

mudling 01-16-2008 07:52 PM

T-nex, what do you mean "who are gonna lead the country later on", do you want to look at George Bush, as said above, we're already there. :o

skillyaslig 01-16-2008 09:43 PM

Hmm, well, I would ban goths from public areas, and put the old-fasioned fireworks back on the shelf.

Hobo 01-17-2008 03:09 AM

I actually feel strongly about kidney donation and thus, if could change the terrible donation rate I would. As well as donating myself. Ace.

Bullet Magnet 01-17-2008 03:26 AM

Come on, the new generation isn't that stupid. Five-year-olds these days are bloody smart. They'll be running the world in thirty years, mark my words.

mudling 01-17-2008 07:05 AM

Well if I had the chance to ban emos, lads and skaters from public places, possibly existance

Chubfish 01-17-2008 07:23 AM

I would stop chavs from ever existing!

mudling 01-17-2008 10:49 AM

Firslty I would like to apologize to any of the lebanese sydney siders who got offended by my last post
Hobo you're not funny :K
Seriously, try giving rep points for a change
I stated before, it's not rasicm, becuase it's not the leb people, themselves, but the groups of people made up of lebs, in sydney, there aren't leb goths, or leb surfies, no, they're just lebs, they're a group in their own right, and lebs don't have to be part of them, and their can be non lebs hanging out with them, but the majority of the group is lebs.
Seriously, I demand a refund!
Also, there's no rule against me not being opinionated, I'm allowed free speech, so technically I can say what I want, and you can't punish me for it, I mean, some of the most powerful people in the world are rascist.
So what you did, in my opinion was illegal. :P
Whatever, I don't care, if you think that flining bad rep points at everyone makes you responcible, then I think I'm recponible for not reacting, yah, we're acting like preschoolers again
Oh, and back on topic, I would provide shelter and homes for all of the homeless, all around the world, food, and water, aswell as clothes, all of the necicities, and if they are able to, a place to work, but it would be their choice.

Zerox 01-17-2008 11:10 AM

Reduce the human species (Why does everyone say race? That barely makes any sense) be about nine tenths, and make certain those remaining do not use any coal, oil or gas, and can rely on solar panels, wind farms and wave energy. Also make certain that the species does not increase in number so much again, a law restricting each individual to two children in their lifetime so that the population does not increase.
I think that would sort the majority of problems. The rest shouldn't be too difficult for this most stupid of species to sort out.

Intelligence and being smart are two different things. They may know more maths, but that doesn't mean they know more morals or any common sense than their peers, and for that matter seem to have less. This obviously explains why everyone in political power seems to be a complete twat.

abe is now! 01-17-2008 11:44 AM

I would stop wars. And I'd delete debts of every States. I'd find a way to use hydrogen as fuel. Or biomass... Then I'll restore nature: forests, mountains, marshes, rivers, oceans... But the nature first: it's dying.

Every time you post something my opinion of you gets lower. Seriously. You're a stupid motherfucker.

Basically, your reason for disliking "Lebs" (which sounds like an offensive term to begin with) is that they hang out with other Lebanese people primarily. Some nationalities actually have a culture that spans back centuries and has a great deal to do with how they see themselves as a people. The whole reason that there are goths, chavs, and other bullshit cliques is that the white world has very little culture to call their own and so tries to create their own half-assed ones.

In other words, you are a stupid motherfucker.

Mac Sirloin 01-17-2008 01:47 PM

I'd take a big dump.




And this is my 1000th post.
