Changing the world
The world is always changing, always getting better or worse. In this world of constant change what would you change? How would you do it? Why would you change the world? The world will never stop changing so how do you want it to change?

Fuck the world.
I'm more worried about some of the assholes in this world. If some people just didn't exist, maybe everyone else would be happier, thereas changing the world anyway. You could say, I want the world to change in a way where all the assholes and fuckwits who don't deserve to have a life, and that affect my life, were just non-existant all together. A bit selfish, but it's true. There's nowhere I can't reach.  --yeah...; [ υ сяєатєd а яιfт wιтнιи мє. ] now there hav been several complications tht hav, left me feelng nothng. ...i mite say...; u were wrng 2 take it from me...; u left me feelng nothng. i lōōk 'rōūnd ūr hōūse. būt there's nōthin' 2 steāl. |

I'm convinced that if religion had never existed, the world would have been a much more tolerant place as a whole. Having said that I just wish people would be more tolerant of eachother and their beliefs or lack thereof; I think we could solve a lot of problems just doing that. :/

Try to change some of the foods that we eat so that they don't have all of the chemical shit that they put it in now. Also, I'd probably change the way that the public knows about governmental issue, ala 9/11.

But if religion had NEVER existed in the first place? Then we wouldn't have a lot of the morals that we've been brought up with and think are integral to humanity. If religion had never existed, we wouldn't have any concept of marriage, any real deterrence for laws, and a lot of the stuff we take for granted now that we don't really relate to religion. Sure, religion has caused its fair share of wars and persecution. But most of the wars were because of idiots who used the names of their religions to gain land. I think the world would be a better place if it wasn't such a sprawl for land. The thing is, religion, hate it or not, cause the MAJORITY of its followers to stay in line and be 'good.' Don't let the extremists fray your judgement... though it is hard to ignore them nowadays. Most amazing jew boots

If there were no law then...well, you can figure out the rest... If you were to refer this to modern times though...then yes I definetly agree. Most religion is screwed up either way though. Which is probably why I don't have one =/ Jam it back in, in the dark.

I'd get mothers out of the workforce and back into the homes to raise their own children instead of having some paid employee do it for them. I'd have men be men again. They'd all step up to the plate and work to support their families instead of being allowed to be unmotivated, underemployed punks for as long as they wanted. I'd give parents back the right to discipline their children. I'd up the academic standards in our pathetic schools.
There's a lot more I'd do, but that's a start. There's nowhere I can't reach. |

As for why I think it should be the mother who stays home, it's all about who is the better nurturer. In most cases, it's the mother. I don't know why. Ask God. What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now? |

First, I totally agree with anything and everything Alice has said in this thread.
Secondly, I think that we need a cure for stupidity, especially because parents and school systems are doing such a poor job of it. So either 1) fix the parents, 2) fix the schools, 3) get some serious research going ASAP before the world plummets as the MySpace generation comes of age.

Laws are always enforced with fear. That's the whole idea of deterrents. We imprison people and punish people so they don't do the things we don't want them to do. Of course the world has come a LONG way from The Code of Hammurabi and the Draconian Laws, but many states in the US still have the Death Penalty and many parts of the world still have some fucked up methods of punishment. Fear works, and we need it. Without fear of punishment, laws would have no teeth and we would have anarchy. You're entitled to your own opinion of course, but I fully believe that without laws this world would fall into chaos immediately. -------- I think we should concentrate more on space. I mean, we haven't done jack since the moon and that Space Race involving Russia. Can China start colonizing Mars already so we all can compete in another space race? That type of sci-fi shit is so interesting to me, and that's the next step for mankind not this mid-east garbage. Oh, and if I ruled the world, I'd eliminate ownership of land. I'm not a communist by any means, own what you want... but not land, come on. This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

The idea is contradicted by your poor starving guy stealing from the rich guy; even if laws weren't enforced, if the poor guy understood that breaking laws "made the world fall apart", he'd just starve because he knew that taking something that didn't belong to him was wrong. But he's starving, doesn't have food, and this guy does. He needs it, and to him, his need to eat is more important than the idea of private property or respecting the law to keep society from imploding. I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body? |

If I could obtain whatever I wanted to change the world, here's what I'd do. I'd get myself two things: some sort of orbital beam weapon capable of obliterating anything from a city up to an entire planet and an army of robots. Then I'd blow up the Moon or Mars or something to show I can do it, have every single nation surrender to me, and crown myself Emperor.
Then I could start making changes to this world. First of all, the elimination of any and all forms of organized religion. So much more trouble than it's worth, with that alone you eliminate a whole load of problem. Jews making claims to Israel in the middle-east? Screw it, fantasy stories have no place in serious matters. In fact, you can't even call yourself a jew anymore anyway. Various cults extracting money from their followers or performing other acts while hiding behind the cover of religion? Well, if all organized religions become criminal organizations according to the law, then hide behind religion all you want. Of course those are but a few examples, all current conflicts caused by religion would also cease. People wouldn't accept it? Well, fine, but then here's what would happen: Say the middle-east instantly burst into neverending riots upon hearing this. It'd get vaporised by my orbital death ray. Best scenario, other areas suddently get a whole lot calmer. Worst scenario, the whole world does the same as the middle-east. If that's the case, then this shithole isn't worth saving, so it's time to extinguish all life upon this planet, with myself being the first hit by the beam. So now religion has been eliminated and the world is a whole lot quieter. What next? No matter what happens, there will be small pockets of people resisting here and there. Which means it's time to enact martial law and to deploy my army of robots to crush outlaws. Civilian casualties are to be expected, but that's a small price to pay. With this taken care of, it's time to succeed where everyone who tried failed... Communism! Well, stalinism. Some kind of stalinism anyway. Everywhere this was attempted suffered from one major problem: the human factor. You need people to direct other people, and those people will invariably gain power and use it for their own purpose. Moreso if the government through its various branches happens to control everything. Then high ranking government officials can take advantage of everyone else. That's no problem here, though, since instead of using people I'll be using my army of incorruptible robots to keep everyone in check! By that time I'll have the whole world (well, the parts I haven't scorched with plasma anyway) working for me, building palaces which I wouldn't use, more death robots, or whatever I might need so I can live as a god for the rest of my life. Given a few year, the world will turn into something that makes 1984 look like heaven. Once I die, my army of robots will keep oppressing people and following the same directives they had until the system eventually breaks for one reason or another, after a thousand years or more if I did a good job designing it. Then for the first time people everywhere would be free from tyranny, their differences ironed out by centuries of common oppression, and could start anew to build a perfect world. Of course it wouldn't last six months before going to shit, with people fragmenting into nations once again and returning to the same situation we've had for all of human history so far. Then after a few thousand years someone would rise up and do the exact same thing I did all over again. Repeat ad infinitum. The chances of this happening are a bit low I must admit. Oh well, a man can dream. I was speaking idiomatically. |

I'd make basic mililtary service mandatory. Special Forces ops have the option of not only having 4 year college paid for..but law school or med school as well.
Also, no one is admitted to universities unless they are 25 and over, and have no criminal records whatsoever (barring traffic tickets of course). (ducks from rock throwing Democrats!) Most amazing jew boots |

We aren't born we morals and ethics, we are taught them. But without them, we wouldn't necessarily just kill people for no reason. The world would return to the laws of the Animal Kingdom, where the strong ones oppress the weak and use up all of the resources, and the weak die. That is until we satisfy our biological needs and start cognitive thought, where we begin to offer protection for the weak in return for more betterment [most likely financial after we develop the concept of money, again] and we will basically reset civilization.

You're right about that. Humans always lived with violence, and it was often those who thrived in its disorder and destruction that made a mark on the world. The biggest turning point was when man invented the social contract where an he gives up certain rights such as killing and stealing, to receive protection from the group.
