What In Your Opinion Is The Biggest Problem Facing The World

I think it's our Religious leaders and scholars who have manipulated their respective religions into Weapons of Mass Extortion.

I say the Israeli-Palestinian Conflict since it's been going on since the 50's and it just can't stop. This conflict is like the roots to other things that have happened such as Muslim terrorism in Western countries, the war in Iraq and Afghanistan's invasion. Even though they might not seem linked it is since US has been supporting Israel for a long time, etc...

The Israel conflict has been going on for like 50 years and we can't seem to stop it, but the world has had highs and lows despite that. I think the global economic crisis is the biggest issue right now. When people can't afford to get the things they need and times get more desperate people get crazy. Crime goes up. All types of insane things start to seem not so insane. Every horrible thing that's happened in the past 100 years has been because of an economic crisis. Look at Hitler. He got to power because Britain and France boned Germany and they were in a SUPER depression seeing as how the whole world was already kinda on the downside of the economic scale, and look what he did. Then countries used war to stimulate the economy and it resulted in the bloodiest event of all human history. If we can stabilize the world economies we'll be find. But that's just my opinion

What about Sudan? The war has totally destroyed the country. People die there every day, there's no food, no water, no medical support, nothing. Same goes out to almost every african country - Chad, Ethiopia, Congo.. I think that the biggest problem facing the world today is Africa with all it's poverty, diseases and thousands of people living in conditions that are deep below the 'horrible' level. And there's not much we can do except for raising money and sending vaccinations there - it's too little.
These people living in small villages - they're practically cut off from everything. Water? Dirty or nonexistant. Decent food? Forget. Drugs? None. Hospitals? Pshhh.. Electricity? Few hours every week.

I have 'adopted' a kid in Zambia, the girl's like 9 years old. Her dad died, her mom's epileptic. She's got 2 brothers and all they got is a small hut and few chickens. She wrote me a letter she'd love to become a teacher one day. All I can do to help her is send like.. 25 dollars every month, which practically pays off all she needs there. 3 months ago I sent her a package with notebooks, crayons and powder milk, I hope she'd received it. It kinda makes me happy and sad at the same time, because no matter what I'll do - it'll be only a drop in a very very very VERY big bucket.

sorry man, i respect you and all but if you truly believe that, then you are a moron, I love the US and everything but 90% of the world's problems is because of us...

The conflict in Israel? because the U.S. keeps supporting the Israelis and give them 3 billion a year
The war on terrorism? ^ most of it comes from that
France? last I checked, we're the ones that changed the name from French Fries to Freedom Fries.

The conflict with Israel is because the allies gave the jews an entire country because of the holocaust and they happened to take Palestine's land to do it.

America and France have bickered since the dawn of time unless they were united in PWNING England.

All of the world's problems are because of the Western world though, you're right, but you have to included Europe in that equation.

^ ur right, france and england and germany and russia aren't all innocent in this, and about the israeli conflict, I'd agree with you but it's not just that they gave them the land and had them fight for it, but NOO, you give them 3 billion dollars a year. People say if palestinains wanted their lands, they'd fight for it and win it, the israelis just are smarter and were able to kick them off with their stronger army, but let me tell you something, if I had 3 billion dollars a year of money to use on an Army, there won't be a SINGLE rapper in the world that would dare talk about how rich he is.

to be honest, i do not want to even give a big reply about this now, only thing im honestly worried about is the economic crisis happening in the country i live in now. people do not realize how bad its going to get (even over the next year) if you have a home outside of the country i strongly advise for yall to move there. people are going to be doing crazy shit. break into your homes to get food etc just to survive. when home forclosures (or w/e) n shit like that (people losing jobs etc) are happening..things are going down and its not going to be good. if your not leaving the country you better be having a shotgun at your side at all times.

^^^^ who cares, someone comes breaking into your house and there inside your house and you shoot and murder them, that is legal. there in your house. they can arrest you on the gun charge, but most likely that will get dismissed with a contiuation without a finding or w/e.
