Question

Would yur choice be in the area of religion, politics, science, medicine, behaviour, finance, warfare,or something entirely different?

Answer 1

I would choose love. So many people die heart broken because of the lack of love. Think of the neglected people in hospitals, nursing homes; and the children who long for someone to trust them and simply care. Think of all the marriages where 'love' has gone away, the abused, people who have not spoken to each other for years.I conducted a neighbourhood program for three consecutive weeks during two consecutive summers. Some of the children did not want to stop so we had a club meeting on Friday evenings.. One night I had nothing to give them as there was only one apple. I wondered how we could share so little among so many - one dozen kids.They reminded me of the loaves and fishes.What would Jesus do in that situation.? they wondered and asked. II smiled but I felt like crying because love demands your all, your best no matter how small.All some people need is a little love.To this day, the kids refer to me as Aunt.Their parents do the same.

Answer 2

i would try to make the world a better place for our children. they need to be safe and know that they can become someone important then joining the gangs and sitting in juvie. also i think these wars should end. all we are doing is killing our own. and what for to try to get someone that we had no clue who he was before. and why don't we have him. maybe if we can stop this fight everything will be better. lower gas prices, better jobs, ect. really what is the point of us destroying some place and then rebuilding it back up. i didn't see them comming here to rebuild the towers. our children need to not worry when planes fly over our head. they need to be able to play outside and not worry if some stranger is gonna come pull them off the street. why not work on the pedphiles that come back out and reoffend but when they reoffend they do it ten times worse. i don't mean to lecture but to me the children are our future and when we get old they will be the ones taking care of us. we need to give them the best of everything.

Answer 3

I would ask that any favour ever done was always paid forward and not back. A favour paid back would be between 2 people. A favour paid forward could reach millions of people all over the world as long as the chain is never broken.

Answer 4

Clean Politics and Honest Politicians

Answer 5

Although I would never accept responsibility for the rest of mankind, learn to listen and debate, rather than trying to turn every discussion into a battle for supremacy just to impress onlookers.

Answer 6

Tolerance and understanding of each other. End all hatred. Hatred, jealousy, envy and greed are the biggest problems in the world, and start most of the wars.

Funny how liberals are open minded, yet will not try to see both sides of anything--classic example.

Answer 7

I would change the way out society treats others. I think the level of respect need to be raised in the world. If we can chance the way people treat others who think, act, or believe differently than them, then our world would be a different place.

Answer 8

Politics I think, after all, they influence the rest of you list to some extent.

I think I would like to influence the way people vote to make sure that all the people are fairly represented.

Answer 9

I'd bring in compulsory death at 75.

No more 90 year olds driving, or bashing into you with their carts at the market.

Answer 10

Human kindness
