WTFauKorean Posted December 2, 2011 Report Share Posted December 2, 2011 In an ideal world we would solve all problems at once, but we aren't so maybe instead of looking at the problems as the bigger picture, we have to think more superficially for this one. and although everyone hates being the one to prioritize what world issues are more important to solve than the others, the only way for us to actually sweep success is to know where to start. basically the point made is that between global warming and AIDS virus there is not one that is more or less important. the importance is with the limited resources that we have what should come first? so I want to hear what you guys think by making a list of priorities when it comes to solving world issues. throw in your justifications and solutions or whatever if you can't think of any world issues and you just want to fill in the blank here are some well known ones in no particular order 1. poverty 2. hunger 3. hygienic insufficiency in 3rd world countries 4. pollution 5. global warming 6. disease and viruses can be specified 7. malnutrition 8. street violence 9. major conflicts 10. illegal trades 11. substance wars 12. racism 13. discrimination against sexual orientation 14. human trafficking 15. abductions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admiral Tim Posted December 2, 2011 Report Share Posted December 2, 2011 I'd be more worried about overuse of natural resources. If all 3rd world countries even become 2nd world many more things will be in demand. It will be... catastrophic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Legend Zero Posted December 2, 2011 Report Share Posted December 2, 2011 I'm American so one of my priorities is to get my government to make things priority, instead of doing things randomly. My main issue is world energy/pollution/ect, mostly because I think it will help with the other stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FindingTheEverlight Posted December 2, 2011 Report Share Posted December 2, 2011 Lol, this sounds a little too liberal for my taste. Though, I've lived in poverty, in section 8 housing when I was younger, in fact, not even, maybe up until 3 years ago. I lived with my mom, she couldn't afford the gas bill or even the electric bill. I lived like this for 11 years. Then I moved in with my dad, whereas he had more money. But listen, the point I'm trying to make with this, and as Legend Zero has said, if there wasn't poverty, there would be a higher demand for everything, same as in third world countries. We are in, what the liberals call, a recession. Even if problems like this were to be fixed, we'd be in even more of a recession because of the amount of demand people will have for items. And it's not like those in poverty will rise up even more because all the good jobs have been taken out of the country, i.e. TV production, looming for clothing. It's all foreign and it's only going to make things tougher if those jobs were brought back the the country because our country has something called minimum wage, that third world countries don't have. If American countries made goods in the States so that more Americans could have jobs, our economy would plummet because they have to pay their workers more money. There are barely any manufacturing jobs in this country, it's mostly service jobs. For example, I work the grill and do register for a Wendy's Hamburgers Restaurant, it's a service job. Sure, my dad works on an assembly line, but it's for a chemical company and it's not like we're going to ship these chemicals overseas from a third world country... But anyway, to sum up this view on poverty, it's not going to help anyone to relieve everybody from poverty. It's not going to work. Though, in few cases, like my own, it works. But to relieve everyone from it, it's not going to work. Plus, living poor, to me, wasn't really that bad minus the fact there were no hot showers really, or the fact that crime stays rampant through poverty. At least how I see it.

.Requiem Posted December 2, 2011 Report Share Posted December 2, 2011 Why do you have such a major problem with Republicans? Just wondering what part of conservatism do you dislike? Just to post quickly the major points that I focus on is the overpopulation, resource management and well military spending/foreign threats.

[/quote] Don't conservatives like small government? Like lower taxes, doesn't that help lower classes? The same thing happens with a Republican president and a democrat controlled congress. Just seems like neither side wants to get along. I would call George Washington a conservative. He did not do anything good? I would say Reagan was good as well.

TheComposer Posted December 2, 2011 Report Share Posted December 2, 2011 One problem that needs fixing and gets harder to fix with each passing year, and that's genetically passed diseases like Autism. People are always commenting on how there's more and more autistic kids in the world, and it's because we let them reproduce. Don't get me wrong, I don't think diseases like this should be wiped out by killing everyone with the disease, it's immoral and impractical. The main problem I have with letting them reproduce is that they require more resources than the normal person to live, yet they work less. Stopping it is as simple as not letting anyone who has these diseases reproduce. But with each passing year, more and more people are born with them, so it's harder to track. Plus they take up more resources that more productive people could be using than the average person does, which is a strain on us. And again, I think they should be allowed their chance at life, so I don't want it to be taken like that. I just think that we could stop them from reproducing, that way less people have the disease. The relief on the resources is just an added bonus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd still like world peace even after that fact, but the point of the matter is, there is always going to be someone who wants someone else dead. So I think world peace should not be the first priority, as it's just not a practical objective. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WTFauKorean Posted December 20, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 20, 2011 holy ballalzy i was not paying attention so anyways using for realzy professional economist information we found this the #1 best priority was AIDS prevention and then AIDS cure which is like $25 bil over 8 years pretty much takes care of everything #5 was freetrade which would kill a good amount of 3rd world country poverty and way end of the list at like 50 something we have global warming which is surprising for some but its not that its not happening or its less important, all of these issues are important but they find in terms of what we are limited to and whats in front of us medical issues and poverty issues we're more rationally solvable and had more output than global warming, global conflicts and multiple wars around the world Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
