So, try and name one thing you'd want to change about the world, your country, your family, yourself and in general. It can be absolutely anything, and I'm sure I wont be the only one who's curious as to what people say. I'll go first. World: Peace in the Middle East Country:Throw out the idea of Scottish independence Family:See each other more often Myself:flat stomach General:Biphobia in the gay community I hope you enjoy!:icon_bigg
world - hatred Country - Representatives Family - i wish they'd disapear Myself - My negativity General - sterotypes
World: Ending world poverty in third-world countries. Country: In certain states, atheists cannot hold state office. Really? Family: New parents. Myself: The choices I made in the past, and I wish I knew as much as I do now back then. I feel like shit. General: Understanding and eradication of certain diseases.
World: Ending world hunger Country: Gay Rights Everywhere! Family: The family coming together like we used to Myself: Self-Confidence General: Bigotry of any kind (whether based on race, gender, sexual orientation, religion etc.) Wow, I believe in God but that's messed up.
It gets worst. In Arkansas, "a person who denies the existence of a supreme being cannot testify." So, even though I hold a higher moral value than a rapist, murderer, or thief, I cannot testify because of my "godlessness." Nor can I hold public office because I deny the existence of a deity.
World: A single international language Country: More funding for schools Family: They should be happier than they are currently Myself: My suicide attempt should of been successful General: For all humans to have the ability to reach the stars
World - eradicate all forms of child abuse. Country - something has to be done about student loans/school funding. in the end (if i don't die first), i'll have paid double what i borrowed because of interest. Family - i wish my dad would put in a little effort to be less annoying. Myself - i need to learn how to motivate myself. General - people need to stop reacting negatively to things that are uncommon, or things they don't easily understand. also, i'm amazed and disgusted that there are laws that keep atheists out of office/the judicial system. what the heck happened to separation of church and state?!
World: Greed. Country: Give our PM the boot. More Vegemite production. Family: Have certain members sever contact from me forever. Myself: My face; my biological sex. General: Diminish all phobia related to LGBTQ.
WORLD, Get rid of religion. COUNTRY, Replace every politician all at once, and get rid of the party system. Family, Have a adverage, close loving one! Myself, The correct female body. General, End all hunger, suffering, and diseases. These are the changes I would do if I was God and could. June
World- No War Country- Same sex marriage in every state Family- Wish my dad wasnt and asshole Myself- Wish I wasnt as heavy as I am. And I would get rid of my depression and anxiety General- Be a better person and learn more from my past
World- reduce mass production and consumption, i.e. waste Country- make the roads more cycable by adding more bike lanes Family- Wish I had more things in common with my brother Myself- be braver General- replace vehicles powered by fuel with electric vehicles or other
Hmm. World: Resolving conflicts w/o resorting to war. Country: Respect for other cultures, lifestyles, beliefs, body types, etc. Family: Peaceful disownment without them harassing me too much for my sexual lifestyle (bisexual & polyamorous). Myself: Less empathetic. It's supposed to be a good thing but I'm essentially useless bcuz I can't help anyone without breaking down in despair myself. General: People would stop judging each other as superior / inferior and instead see value in and care about everyone. Alternative wish: Everyone is a psychopath.
World: humility practiced as a staple of religion. ex. "You follow a different God, and while I feel mine is the one true faith, neither of us can be certain so you deserve respect as well." Country: For people to put other people's gain above their own, for all power and income levels. It would eliminate the need for a lot of taxes, laws, and business regulations. Family: For everybody to cease hostility against my dad. He did some bad crap, but he's paying for it via permanent silent treatment from everyone but me. Is forgiveness an alien word? Myself: Better brain endurance. I'm pretty good in some areas, but I just can't keep going at a high mental level for long periods, like is required for schoolwork or writing. It's a debilitating weakness. General: I wish less-structured relationships still got respect. Monogamy/marriage is wonderful and necessary, but sometimes love in all its forms is just as beautiful if it's spontaneous and casual, with nothing binding up its participants. EDIT: Fisnou, I don't know about power production in Australia, but most electricity in the US is still produced by burning fossil fuels. Electric cars would be a horizontal move. :/
World: Social equalities for all (e.g. gay rights) Country: get rid the conservative government Family: Their homophobia Myself: Being a quite boring person General: People using the word gay as an insult
World: Realize protecting the environment needs to trump everything else Country: Abolish Republicans Family: Be supportive (of quite literally anything I do) Myself: i want more confidence General: generally be more informed and intelligent
World: the leaders Country:yes to gay marriage Family: see them (i dont have family in this country) Myself:confidence in my gay sexuality General:every one has a sign so i can tell who's gay and who's not
World: No more of this fat-shame bullshit. No more people using religion to excuse/justify bigotry, prejudice, and hate. And No more Mayonnaise >:I Country: Gay Marriage legalized in each state and small minded, homophobic, anti-LGBTQ+ communities to just go away. :I Family: To actually be a family. Myself: More self confidence, Less anxiety. And have it in me to make a difference. General: More open minded people getting to run things.
