Global Issues

[Inseriousity.]

From a purely practical viewpoint population is the biggest problem since if we culled the population there'd be more resources available per person and half of these would/could be solved, but I figure mass genocide to be something the modern world wants to avoid as much as possible...

In personal terms human rights obv since I like having those, also hunger because Dominos is far too expensive

LOL bringing your nationstates' philosophy into the real world hmmm that might not go down too well (unless ofc Dan is in charge of the other countries then they'll just ignore you).
Saying education is the key way out of poverty is such a simplistic view imo. Out of the issues there, I'd go for malnutrition and hunger.

are you kids dumb? the only problem that matters at the moment is the world population spiralling out of control. at the rate we're going it's gonna be r.i.p the human race in 50 years

I believe we currently have around 3/4 times as much food as we actually need. It's just very poorly distributed. So seeing how food isn't a problem, what other resources are you on about? I'm assuming things like oil, gas etc. which will have been replaced by alternative and more efficient things in around 50 years anyway.

Personally it has to be a lack of food and water around the world. It's still sickening to hear that around a billion people struggle to find clean water and food.

your beliefs are wrong

There's a huge difference between what we need and what we want. What we literally need to survive could be synthesised and controlled easily several times over yes, but people enjoy having an actual lifestyle and not just a life

it's ok that you're still stuck on a lower level of thinking. denial's just a normal human trait, right?

Maybe one should work on their use of capital letters, before commenting on others intelligence!

That's true and at the moment I think we're limited in our current technological advancement to allow it to happen. I'm not sure I see it being a problem in a few decades when things become easier and cheaper to manufacture.
