This is a pretty broad question, but what is wrong with the world? Why will there never be peace? Why is there always constant fighting and killing going across the entire planet? I would like to hear some of your thoughts on what is causing all of this.
I think the main reason is that the human race in general has little tolerence. We seem unable to accept that no matter what happens, there are going to be people different than us on the planet. People don't seem to be able to just live together happily, and be thankful for life.

I was talking about the same thing with Bass. I think we ought to stop tilting at windmills and sally forth to right all wrongs.
*wonders who will get that*

What's wrong with the world? Two words: organized religion.

I was going to say that... ![::)](//storage.proboards.com/549948/images/gJJRWaqDfDazeBsIjfcm.gif) But think about it...It isn't exactly the religion that's causing the problems... It's the Islamic (mostly) idiots and how they interprit (sp?) it...Most Islamics understand that America isn't the enemy of Islam...So you can't exactly blame it on religion...Or at least attempt to explain it;D

Actually, Christianity is far more of a problem than Islam. Until we can deter the zealots -- of any religion -- from judging other people, there'll continue to be problems. I like quoting scripture (in particular, "Judge not lest ye be judged") at people who try to judge me. ![8-)](//storage.proboards.com/549948/images/eIMQnuwERxqvJ0liYgfQ.gif)

I'll post my comments later. They're FAR too long to post now. Or maybe not, but I'm just lazy. Deal with it.

Hmm just for the record: The religion: Islam The people who believe in it: Muslims not islamics ![;)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/wink.png) I think the power over the world is uneavenly dispersed. It is more important that the US shine as a superpower, than helping our fellow humans. Look at the animal world! We call ourselves "supreme beings", yet we are the only animal that systematically besieges one another for no apparent reason! Don't get me wrong, I am accusing (e.g.) Bush as well as Sadam of being guilty of this, only as an example. Then of course, there is the general ignorance, the blief that for SOME reason, one's self is supreme to your human brother. [edit] Of course ignorance also plays a massive role when it comes to blindly following your "leader". This might be understandable if you actually elected him, however, unfortunatly, that is not the case. [/edit] THAT is what's wrong with the world.

Havn't you read my quote? Its held the answer to this for..ever...until earlier today when i changed it...
"Just remember, if the world didn't suck...we'd all fall off"
;D
Right, what sucks about the world is people in general. We like to think we're all perfect or superior, but in reality we, to put it simple, just suck. The world is based on greed and hate. Its like, half the world is greedy...then the other half hate the greedy people. Then theres these peacefull people...who hate hateful people. It all kinda of circles itself, and in the end the answer is there...we all suck.
I mean, countries build up massive armies for 'defensive purposes'. We wouldn't need these defensive armies if the other people didn't have an army. And they wouldn't have an army if they weren't so (yep, you guessed it) greedy. "Gee, i have an entire country in my pocket...but i want that one too"
Meh, i could make a much better post, but i'm tired...maybe later.
PS - yes, i know in the first paragraph i went over 1 (1/2 + 1/2 + the peacefull >_<)

For one, it gives us the option of saving up an income. You can't store 200 chickens for 10 years in a vault somewhere without having a ghastly stench as a concequence.

have you ever tried to play "heads or tails" with a chicken? Not fun...
Money causes problems, but it's a necessary evil in today's society.
