If you could get rid of one world problem, what problem would you choose?

With the snap of your fingers, one major world problem disappears. Which one do you choose to kick?

I'd probably go with ridding the world of poverty. Poverty and crime seem to have a strong connection, and poor areas are largely affected by disease and mental anguish, so kicking poverty out of the picture would help alleviate some other problems, at least to an extent.

I would get rid of humans. MUAHAHAHAHA

I'd make everyone smarter so they could think of their own solutions to a problem they might have.22Toothpicks

Selfishness. If this quality were to be eradicated from within mankind then most of the other problems will quickly follow suit. mindstorm

discrimination, i think if that was gone the world will fix itself very fast

EDIT: On a serious note, you're probably gonna get flamed. If that happens, this thread will officially derail.

Damn, all you guys picking disease and mental health problems might make me change my mind. :P I'm the only one who's voted for poverty thus far.

Diseases and mental issues will be cured and no longer a problem in the near future. Discrimination is not that much of an issue these days, and it's getting even better as people are becoming more open minded.

Crime is a result of poverty so that would be pointless as well.

Getting rid of poverty is the best choice because not only do you get rid of poverty which is terrible on it's own, you also get rid of most crime, and lots of disease that spread because of the badsanitation in poor areas.

Natural disasters.

Hmm.. I'd end natural disasters like drought, vulcanoes blowing up near civilization, earthquakes that kill millions, tsunamis, tornadoes, hurricanes, floods - all the extremes that kill people ever single day. If drought and floods could be controlled, we wouldn't have to worry about going hungry as crops wouldn't wilt or drown. If volcanoes, hurricanes, tsunamis and other natural disasters could be harnessed, imagine the amounts of energy we could harvest from it.Deihjan

I just came here to wait for Kingkong's answer. I bet it will deliver plenty of lulz.

It's an awful idea, but I guess you tried.

[QUOTE="Deihjan"][QUOTE="funtimez12345"]congrats. The worst answer here.

I'd get rid of Africa. Nothing good seems to be coming from that continent. I propose we exterminate life there and build millions of parking spots so that when we can modify the Higgs Boson and achieve light travel we can have teleporters at shopping centres that will take you to Neo-Africa aka the car park.

[QUOTE="funtimez12345"]

[QUOTE="Deihjan"] How so? If we could control the natural energies, a lot of problems would go away. You can't deny that. I never said I'd completely remove them, I said control them. I realise our planet has all those different reactions because of our home being a massive, almost living thing. The core is molten metal that churns, causing earthquakes when the tectonic plates we live on rub against eachother. Our oceans create tsunamis because of this, all the while the Earth's orbit makes winds blow.Mike-uk

[QUOTE="Mike-uk"][QUOTE="funtimez12345"]Tsunamis and hurricanes and volcanos (when's the last time you heard of a fuking volcano exploding?) and insignificant to things like crime, poverty and disease.

discrimination and prejudice.

human - human interactions seem to be the most problematic issues we have. nature, diseases, and conditions can be eventually overcome or prepared for effectively.

but discrimination is always around, just shifts in form and who the target is over time.

So get to the root of the problem and get rid of humans! We only exist because Earth wanted plastic, and we're good at making it.
