What is the single problem the human race faces right now that concerns you the most?

Question

Any suggestions on solving it?

Answer 1

Hatred and Racism. I think it's going to get worse than it ever has been and that is scary. People should stop teaching ignorance and hate.

Answer 2

Poverty, Indifference. & Mistrust.

Put the rich & stupid in the shoes of the poor and homeless for a week and then we'll say who says what. We need to encourage more charity among the middle class as well. There's too much skepticism about good intentions.

Answer 3

Indifference

Answer 4

The increasing population is definitely counteracting any environmentally friendly efforts and technologies that are taking place.  

(Use birth control people!)

Answer 5

fuel costs.....

Answer 6

It has been there for ages... selfdestruction: no solution for it tough, until we all get together, get rid of the gods and meditate till we reach peace.

Answer 7

Sinfulness, I am a devout Christian and I strongly believe that sin has taken its toll on humanity.  I am not the kind of Christian who will condemn someone for not believe but I think it is a growing problem in the world.  Christ died on the Cross for the world and I think its terrible when people choose to reject him.  He is the answer for everyone's problems.

Answer 8

The democrat party in America.  Solve it?  Dissolve it!  God Bless you.

Answer 9

Carbon - we need to fund renewables and stop ignoring the problem

Religion - deluded people do stupid things in the name of god and we need to look to common sense instead of man made gods.

Overpopluation - just because we rule the planet as a species we don't have the right to destroy it... no one should be allowed to have more than one child per person

human rights - change the g*y marriage laws already for a start... no one really cares... just the christians yelling the loudest

uneven distribution of wealth, food, resources - no idea... global; federation?

Answer 10

Like Hortense and Qmaus, I think overpopulation is one of the biggest issues.  It is compounding our environmental problems and the two will combine to generate massive changes in all our societies, whether we like it or not.

Answer 11

garbage. what to do with it.

It's clear that most things don't need the extensive packaging nowadays.

someday we may all be taking our trash to a processing center and PAYING per bag.

Answer 12

What frightens me most is overpopulation.

Failure to monitor our own species' population growth, and the suffering and inevitable doom that will arise if we don't is going to wipe us all out.

The only "humane" solution I can think of is for us to stop being so 'baby crazy' and to focus on having less children (like the Chinese did) in order to slowly bring the population down to a manageable, equilibrium level.

That way we can work on solving the problem without resorting to the wholesale slaughter of people who are already living; which is pretty much the only other option, and even I'm not THAT misanthropic!

Answer 13

The high interest on college loans. A flat one time 15-20% fee would fix everything.

Answer 14

deliberate idiotism from the government

Answer 15

stupidity affects 65% of America's population. We can deny it, but that doesn't solve anything. And I'm not talking about academic performance. People around here are just retarded.

We need warning labels to state the obvious. Have you ever wondered why some places have "Warning: Hot beverage" on cups with hot coffee? Its because they got sued when someone bought hot coffee and scalded themselves with it. If you purchased hot coffee, obviously its very hot. Otherwise, you can't call it hot coffee.

Answer 16

Intolerance, drug laws and lack of respect and love for fellow humans

Answer 17

the sun exploding....

Answer 18

Stupidity

Answer 19

The slowly sprouting idea that we can all be part of a group mind to become and ultimately super-intelligent species, as a self-induced phase of evolution... oops, did I say that out loud?
