Too many things really...

1. China and their unfair trade practices. Why we (Western Society) haven't boy cotted them by now is beyond me
2. The Middle East. It's not that there aren't good people there (Israel) but it really does look like nothing short of nuking it off the face of the Earth will put an end to this shit.
3. Africa. It's a lost cause.
4. Racism. People think it's mostly gone, but it isn't. It's still (unfortunately) quite prevalent in Western Society. African Americans being racist against Cocasions and throwing fits when it's thrown back at them (you can't have a double standard people...) and well... too many ignorant people in general (mostly white I'm sure -.-) that are biggots. Can we not put an end to this crap?
5. Corporate America. Way, way too much influence on the government and too much god damn money at the top. When are Americans going to wake the fuck up and revolt? No other civilization in history has/would have put up with the BS that's been going on. I say march on the whitehouse and take Bush and Cheyney out by force (and everyone else involved with them). Not sure what to do with them though, even Hanging (the most demeaning form of death, at least in some faiths) is too good for them. The founding fathers must be turning in their graves >

I could go on for a while. Life isn't perfect, but there's a lot of problems that could/should have been dealt with a long time ago (like Oil and diseases... but there's too much money in that.) and sometimes I wonder if if it'll ever get better.


Barack Obama ftw.

Ungrateful people. Take some of the people that I work with...without regard to nationality. If you don't like my country, leave. It really is that simple. I don't want you here.

People that don't take responsibility for their actions and choose instead to blame other people for their mistakes.

People who think that they are better than everybody else.

Gold diggers. ...male or female.

Liars, cheats, and swindlers.

Just the basics I suppose.

Same thing that's always been wrong with it, idiots.

If we manage to do selective breeding to only have smart children, humanity might finally start to improve some on more than a technological scale.

Yeah, but do we want the possibility of Khan to appear?

Lets just say, weed out the truely stupid with Darwin Awards to each person who can kill themselves. Then get double the prize. Followed by kill off close relatives to insure no contiuing family line.

Or we could go the Borg route, nano probes and a queen. Hmmm, ready for assimilation.

Re: What's wrong with the world today?

oh, the technological singularity is only about a century off, but there won't be any need for a queen.

Re: What's wrong with the world today?

on this subject, everyone seems hav got quite a bit to say.

instead of asking - whats wrong with de world? - we should start asking ourselves - whats wrong with us?

when each day passes, ask yourself, hav u done anything today to make yourself happy, or anyone from your family, your friends......

do we still keep our belief in tomoro, in anything?!


r we becoming de most miserable creature in de world?!

Re: What's wrong with the world today?

Probably not, but that lack of typing your words out (seriously, are those few extra letters really that hard to reach?) is certainly a small step to getting there.

There's plenty wrong with this world. It won't change until we do. Will it happen in our lifetimes? No, not a chance. However, we still strive for that unreachable, ever-beyond-our-grasp brass ring in the hope that someday, our efforts will have paid off for our descendants. Humanity needs that hope, for without it, we've reached evolutionary death, and might as well toss in the towel and move over for the next dominant species on this planet to give it a shot.

Immortality to the smart people. Problem solved. They'll eventually see things get done and fixed.

One problem with that:

High IQ criminals....

Re: What's wrong with the world today?

And that'll be thier downfall. Because everyone and everything has a limit. They'll get careless then boom dominio effect.

Re: What's wrong with the world today?

My main problem with this world is stupid people.

Envy causes theft and murder.

Apathy and Arrogance together can cause other people to feel like dirt.

Rage can cause many things, even those listed above.

Cowardice can cause hesitation, which can lead to things becoming worse.

Ignorance, however, can be the most destructive, and not just to the ignorant.
