i'm making this thread because me and my friends were debating over different ways on how to improve the world.
im quite sure that everyone has had an idea at some point of theyre life
so i made this thread to know others ideas and debating over how good they are.
its all hypothetical
please no bashing cause i know that can happen
eg. nuke insert country to improve the world or invade this and that.
Coincidentally, I just volunteered for Community Service. I think we'll be handing out leaflets, involved in Fundraisers, collecting the money, suggesting charities, possibly clearing litter from some places.
Spread Buddhism .
don't drop litter
be kind to animals
In order to change the world, change yourselves first.
Get rid of Jason Friedberg and Aaron Seltzer.

Destroy currency.
Each of you give me 10 dollar.
@Shandian:

So I can get rid of Shandian.
We need a working, cooperative, fair and representative world government organization–something like the UN was originally envisioned to be.
the worst thing about this post is that he's serious
Not really. Everyone knows he's a tad stupid.

Convince more people to go into science/math research instead of areas like business (preferably, research with the goal of improving the lives of all humans and not the few that can afford it).
Tsk. Why is it that most finns do hate islam for some odd reason? Those guys are ruining our reputation.
Don't spread Buddhism.
Also. If we want to come together as a people, we should probably stop having wars. I think that might be a good ice breaker for most.

Because nothing good about it has came almost 800 years… people say about golden age of Islam being benefical to us all but people of middle east had develoved advanced culture and sciences long before islam...
Christianity is basically same shit, religions like this have no place in modern world and they can only hinder progress and give people stupid reasons to make war and atrosities...
Catholic and muslim both serve same 'god' but I consider Islam being more fundmentalist way and it has really negative impact on people without jobs or education. Religion is so last millenium stuff anyway, I dont consider buddhism being religion its more like a way of life and generally benefical to humans.
I just find the idea of devoting majority of your life to serving some kind of 'god' that clearly not excist and cannot even excist in modern world, I guess religions are just so damn popular because people strive for immortality and promise of eternal life after death... but when people start to kill and assault others because they think its a service for their 'god' then its just fuking retarded...
I think humanity can get rid of christianity by 2100 but islam will keep growing instead...

Nuke the whole world and we can end war. For quite a while.
- get rid of frontiers and make the world one "country", giving them a world government. Equal rights, laws etc.. hypothetical, this should prevent wars, and decrease poverty(depends on the governmental system, if its socialism, a social capitalism, or communism how it was supposed to be, it could be fine. Im not talking about dictatorship or monachry/aristocracy).
yup

Humanity won't ever get rid of religions. As long as there are things that no common sense or science can explain, humanity won't lose its faith to some kind of a higher power. Religion and the belief of a better place gives hope and feeling of safety for those, whose life is nothing but misery and misfortune. Why on earth would humanity want to get rid of that? Even if it wasn't true - something that no one of us can surely know - it still comforts those, who otherwise had no reason to tread here on earth. It's completely acceptable to live in a lie, if the reality would be too harsh to cope with. The common finnish attitude, that is "only the strong should survive", is utter bullshit.
Religions in general aren't about serving one's god, but rather believing in one and acting according to what is good and accepted. The twisted organization called the church has preached serving, but it isn't the norm in any religion. There are always extremists in every religion, but one shouldn't judge the entire amount of people because of them. You seem to forget that there are millions of muslims and christians, who don't take every single row of text in their holy books literally and live perfectly ordinary lives, without the idiocy and strict codes those extremists have. Not every single muslim pray towards Mecca five times a day, live without alcohol and pork, make their women dress in niqabs or try to convert the whole world to islam. It's just one muslim group, mainly in Arab countries and Iran, that does practice those. The Koran doesn't even say that every single non-muslim human is a heretic and should be converted to islam or killed, but rather higlights the fact that all three "religions of the books" believe in the same god and should be respected the same way other muslims are. Fundamentalist are just a one group, not the whole islamic world. Do not make a generalization. It never works.
Blaming religions on wars and killings may sound justified, but in reality is quite foolish thing to do. The religions themselves don't make people kill, humans with power do. Religions are merely the most used ideology for waging war. If those wouldn't exist, the ones who seek power by any means would have used different ideologies as an excuse for fighting over land and riches. And when you stop to think all that, you find that the others have been used as well. Nationalism, for example, caused several wars and is used even today to discriminate other folk not part of your own group. Therefore, it's quite dumb to blame religions for all the bad things occurring around the globe. They're just tools, not the reason itself.
Since we can't get rid of religion and we can't get rid of nuclear arms, I guess the world is screwed.
as long as people have diifferent opinions ,it will be hard to have a good world.
and why did i see the discussion about religions coming from miles away?
Learn to appreciate nature and animals more and stop giving fanatics attention.

Kill Sauce darkness
I have an idea that a lot of people will not want to hear but actually it makes sense.
Before you start bashing about how good meat tastes, read this.
You know that we keep a lot of animals for meat and dairy products as well as leather and stuff like that. We waste a lot of valuable ground by just having these animals graze. Than, these animals need to eat as well. Most of the fields where you see corn or grains are used to feed those animals. the animals and the fields need a whole lot of water which is again wasted on these 2. The fields need to be farmed and that takes oil. So does the transport of the animals to the slaughterhouses and to the public. We have a lot of animals and the manure alone that these animals produce makes for more CO2 going in the air than the transporting industry as a whole so A LOT. Also, we cut down rain forests to feed animals while the rain forest is the lungs that keep our atmosphere livable.
Anyway, what I am trying to say is that if everybody in this world would start eating less meat, like once a weak, or preferably none, we save a lot of drinking water, ground (which we could use to feed EVERYONE in this world because it is just THAT much space and prevent overpopulation) and valuable oil. As it is now, the oil supply of our earth has been calculated to last another 60 years. With this theory (which I know is impossible to accomplish) we could actually make the oil supply last for 25 more years which gives us more time to find and utilize new sources of energy.
Also, it will be the end of animal suffering.

It will be a world inhabited by mutated cockroaches that will fight for domination ! –> hence: war

Get rid of stupidity like this. The world will be a better place.
There's one thing people should probably think about it they want to address something like 'making the world a better place'.
XXX SCARCITY OF RESOURCES XXX This, aside from the primate-typical nature of humanity, is the one thing that acts as the spike in the road toward good times for all. The environment, economics, religion, politics, violence - almost all of it can be traced back to this one sticky issue. Deal with it, and there'll be a significantly less amount of presence when it comes to modern and pre-modern issues. You'll probably need some crazy Culture-esque antics to get around to fixing it, though.
Oh.
It will be a world inhabited by mutated cockroaches that will fight for domination ! –> hence: war
Turns out roaches can't actually survive that.
Kill all humans. Best thing for the planet.
Just vote me to be a Wader! lol jk
Spread the Peace & love,get rid the religion conflict,do you think i'm a hippie?

Just don't kill me. 
Kill all prisoners in Impel Down and raise my wage. thats simple
Remove humanity. Seriously, what have we done that is good to the world?
The golden one claims a vacant throne. The crown of light will bring only darkness.

Vote JERK DISEASE for president. Based on his historical posts, he seems to know what the fuck he's doing. 
Seriously though, uh….
get rid of hardcore ghetto rap music which teaches the wrong values to young teens. That's a start. :happy:
Someone married their stepmom and then got murdered?
Sounds like he used a monkey paw to make a porno story come true.
Then the curse of the paw eventually killed him.
I like this idea about getting rid of humanity. How about we start with the great minds that have come up with this grand idea.
@Thousand:
Kill all humans. Best thing for the planet.
Yeah, what a wonderful world would that be, an idyllic utopia, full of endless grass plains for sheep to run free.
Remove humanity. Seriously, what have we done that is good to the world?
Um, I don't know, maybe, Doge's Palace, Kreutzer Sonata, Brothers Karamazovy, Night Watch, Red Cross and Crescent Movement, UNESCO. Something like that, perchance.

Red Cross and Crescent movement only need to exist because of the suffering and pain we humans cause and the rest of the things you listed make the world more beautiful, yes, but not "better" which is what this thread is all about. Also, UNESCO protects world heritage which is mostly nature because we humans are destroying it, thus if we weren't destroying it in the first place there would be no need for something like UNESCO.
Well, of course the world would be a better place if all humans were expunged from its surface. We've only become bigger and bigger assholes as our residency on this planet has extended. For every one decent human being, there's ninety-nine dipshits. That's probably an effect of our severe overpopulation though. As terrible as it sounds, we might be better off with a half million to a billion less people on this Earth.
But, naturally, that's too unrealistic.
The world'll probably never become progressively better; we're already stuck in a spiral that'll only end in our own destruction. If the entire world doesn't get truly serious about preventing pollution and saving the environment, we'll be as good as dead in a century or a two. But what are the chances of that? I mean, we still have nutcases that believe climate change/global warming/global cooling/whatever you want to call it isn't occurring. They'll only come to their senses when we're in the middle of the next fucking ice age. And even then they'll be screaming "FINALLY GOD HAS CAUSED THE APOCALYPSE AND WE CAN ALL GO TO HEAVEN!!!"

So the only guy you know who has some extensive knowledge is a guy from the internetz… lol.
And yeah hardocore rap, movies like scarface, violent games are educating young teens, let's get rid of all that... lol.
Education should be free, and benefit the person who is consuming it.
Issues:
Currencies and Money.
We have outgrown our current currency system. Just like we previously used a bartering system and it became impossible to continue it with the large number of people, the same has finally became true with money. Money is no longer moving us forward like it did when humans first introduced it to progress, but now it is actually holding us back. Cures for diseases are ignored because of the profit made by ignoring it. Engines and cars that can go 90 miles to the gallon were wiped because it would 'kill an entire market' when actually it's the market killing us. The fact of the matter is, is it's projected that world hunger could be close to being solved through a $35 billion program that no one wants to fund.
America's defense budget is $1.5 Trillion dollars.
%1-2 of americans even feel terrorism is a #1 concern.
Many people are experimenting with the surplus of currency idea. There are several websites trying Alternate Currencies, where everyone in a group offers goods or services for this Alternate Currency, and likewise, they are provided with some to start out. Because of no taxes, inflation, scarcity, many of them are left with a surplus and within the community it's very common for them to be giving away their credits to others within to help them.
While I don't readily have a solution to the problem, do note I can acknowledge the problem.
Lack of Community.
Every day, we are raised and taught to look out for number 1, be independant, and selflessness is discouraged. Really, what we lack IS the ability to be dependant on others. Or rather, we lack the ability to rely on one another. In a world full of stress, scarcity, and violence, honesty and trust are more rare than rainbows and last half the duration. We consistantly lie to one another, trick one another, and con one another out of what we spend our entire lives trying to gain - a stable foundation. What we don't collectively understand or admit, is community and a stable foundation are the same thing.
We go to school, or go to work and then we rush home cussing through traffic or grumbling on our bus because of how long it takes, so that we can spend the evening infront of a television set, or browsing the internet. Most of us won't know our neighbors names. We probably wouldn't even know how to make friends if we already don't have some. We've become so compartmentalized that we don't interact or socialize nearly as much as we should. Years ago, knocking on your neighbors door asking to borrow flour was normal. Now a days, you look like a fucking looney trying it. "did they seriously want flour..?"
We need to re-establish what a community is and means, and learn to help one another. If you see someone struggling with anything, offer them a hand. Even if it's someone you don't know. Pretty much they'll always turn you down and that's ok. That's an enourmous step towards rebuilding a concious public. A collective humanity is far superior to a humanity in any number. Start small.

it's called parenting, not censoring a genre of music(even if i don't care for it)
Educate more And better!
All the really horrible things I've seen, or experienced, people doing to other people fall under one of two categories - either brainless cunts who have no concept of the external world treating people like they don't exist; or people who meant well treating others badly, and acting in stupid ways, because they didn't understand the situation they found themselves in. The latter is overwhelmingly more common than the former.
I'm utterly convinced that, in a world where we have so much information, everywhere, available to everyone, and much of it for free; if we could make it so that people's first instinct when they don't fully understand something is to learn about it, and give people the skills to assess information critically and form an educated opinion based on all the myriad accounts and discourses that there are on almost every topic under the sun… well, we wouldn't solve serious issues like world hunger or economic instability, but people would make more informed, and therefore usually better, decisions about their words and deeds; and since humans affect every part of the world and how it works, better decisions mean a better world.
Of course, this would also increase people's skills in argument and conflict - my course co-ordinator told 300-odd law students on Monday that this course will make us able to beat anyone who isn't a lawyer in an argument, even when we're wrong; and to be careful because by the time your spouse is lying on the floor crying, you've probably gone past winning . So, similarly we'd have to teach people to debate - to give reasoned arguments, to give fair consideration to others' points of view, to accept that sometimes someone just isn't going to agree with you no matter what and that's ok.
We could always make an APForums version of "We Are The World".
That usually makes things better.
