A little perspective.

[cantata]

Abortion, gay marriage and people who smell? I think we need a little perspective.

What political, social and/or ethical issues really keep you awake at night?

I dunno, but when an ethical issue does bother me, you can be sure i'll make a thread about it

LOL - I swear you never met an issue you didn't think was ethical AND bothersome

So noted

The infinity trillion dollar (American) national debt that will take 300 years to pay.
The energy crisis.

Well, for me, it is the gay thing that keeps me awake at night (not literally, but I get your point). Because, well, I'm gay. So, on with the gay threads!

Haha, well, yeah, okay, thoughts of hot lesbian action keep me awake at night too, but I meant more along the lines of what troubles you

Religious fundamentalism. Of any religion, but Christian bothers me more than anything else, mainly because of the influx of ignorant hypocrites among the fundies.

 

[The Nihilist]

the very worst parts of Africa

 

[DeathMagus]

The top three things that worry me are:

Peak oil
Fundamentalism of any kind
The general stupidity of the public - especially as it relates to the above two.

 

[Paulos23]

Not finding a renewable energy source to replace oil.
Not being able to reverse the damage we have done to the climate.
Waiting for the next zombie outbreak.

 

[BigBadWlf]

What about:
The war
The failing economy
A collapsing public school system
Sky high crime rates
The loss of constitutionally protected freedoms
Lack of universal health care
Child abuse and neglect
The homeless
The hungry
The out of control national debt
The torture of prisoners in American prisons
The energy crisis
Global warming



So what are the issues the religious right is concerned about?

* Democratic Governments of the World saying they think what's right for the people...without listening to them.
* Why can't the States leave the World alone and concentrate on their own problems
* 1st World countries keeping Africa in a state of famine, so they slowly kill themselves and the other countries reap the rewards. Seriously, if Africa had its [wash my mouth][wash my mouth][wash my mouth][wash my mouth] together and not constantly kicked while on the ground, they would be one of the most powerful, resourceful and influential Continents on the planet.
* The plain ignorance of people
* The indifference of good people
* The archaic nature the World still clings to, fearing the unknown.
* The brainless consumerism and wastefulness of society
* The impending end of society and the next transition of mass consciousness into the new realm
* What I will have for breakfast

I know, it really is a very under reported issue I would say.

Yeah, I don't know about everyone else, but my Zombie Bunker is ready for the long haul.

Maybe it's just me, but has anyone else noticed a major drop in the education of America's children? In my Chem class, we take tests from back in the Commie days, and my teacher still has to curve the grade despite the fact that my class is an honors class.
