If you could rid the world of 1 thing what would it be?

Cancer.....I've watched it kill a lot of people I love!

WOW!

There are SO many things that the world go with out.

The first thing that popped in my head is HIV/AIDS - it has infected and killed too many of my family members.

Nothing kills the spirit more than a mind set that is not conducive to productivity!

The world could do without hatred...among other things.

One thing I'd like to get rid of is:

AIDS/HIV- That disease alone has killed too many African Americans!!!

There are so many things and I agree that AIDS/HIV is one thing I would definetly give the boot, however I would get rid of ignorance. I think one of the reasons that this disease is transmitted is that people are ignorant of how it is transmitted and how they can protect themselves.

I would really have to say CANCER...most deaths in recent years can be traced back to some form of Cancer, and too many people have died early because of the disease.

HUNGER,

IMO there is NO reason for any child to have to go to bed hungry!

i'd say greed.
(covetousness)

lots of our world's problems can be traced to this...

BAD PARENTS

I hate to see bad parents!!! I mean people who could really care less about the future they want for their child(ren). People who curse at two year olds. People who would rather get their hair done then buy their daughter a book. People who don't care if their child is educated. People who teach their daughter how to get a rich man, rather than teach her how to make her own money. People who don't teach theirs sons how to be men. People who can afford a Lexus but can't afford a few hundred dollars a month in child support. People who teach their children how to hate. People who don't discipline their child when he does something wrong.

I could go on and on but I think you all get the point. Parents have such an effect on their children and I hate to see people who take their job as parents lightly. Children come into this world with empty minds. They don't have any preferences or opinions. It's their parents who are supposed to fill them up with the right things, like love, respect, and knowledge. I hate it when people don't even care. Children are our future and it's time that we invest in them.

I'd get rid of apathy.

Negativity.
