If you could change the world, what would be the top 3 things you'd choose to change?

I would creat a superMod to lead the team, and place ONE well regarded one in charge with wide mod and poster control powers!
It's good to be back amongst friends and colleagues

I would make people’s sense of empathy dominate over their political or religious views.

This would, I think, fix most of the world’s other problems.

If I ruled the world, I would introduce genetic profiling to weed out all potential psychopaths before they were born. I bet the world would be a better place without them.

First thing is that I would like to change me and make the world better by doing so.

After that I would like to take away those that want to change you.

My 3rd & last wish is a no brainer. I want to live in a world without hate.



(I guess these are wishes and not changes. Sort of hopes...)

Psychopaths never are psychos by birth. In the very most cases psychopaths are made by their surroundings - though it needs much sensitivity and many negative experiences, and the being unable or forbidden to express feelings to become a psychopath..
But the assets nonetheless are inside all of us.

On the other hand, I'm totally against genetic profiling. What do you want to do when the genetic profiling says: there is a certain possibility that your unborn child may become very sick? or retarded? or physically challenged? Would you want to know these news when you are pregnant? And would you rather let the child be unborn instead of staying the given time with him/her?

To my second wish: If I could change the world, all medical research and their result had to be transparent to everyone, and no-one would be allowed to make profit from giving them to those who need it.

I was just making the guy think some,

Lots of e-thugs around these forums lately.

;)

Thanks to you both, though! Your good captains/teammates.
