What is wrong with the World. Suggestions Invited.

Our question is what is wrong with this world?
Chatlog here
Pursuant to this,
<Ophis> Let's start a thread on the BBS to finalize the "options" and allow people to input some feedback
<Ophis> Ironically, it seems that "scarcity" would be all there is to it. "scarcity" of life, education, resources, etc
<Ophis> Maybe the Virian goal should involve getting rid of scarcity
<Ophis> Or at least reducing it, if we want to be realistic (as opposed to idealistic)
So please make posts to this thread suggesting new "issues", alterations to existing issues, generalizations or consolidations.Please <snip> everything but your the original (if there is one) and your suggestion and place it at the top of your reply.
When the list of suggestions becomes stable, ie no new posts in a while, the intention is to repost this as a survey to the list, for those interested to rank the "issues" based on their perceived importance, using a scale of 0 to 10, where 0 is not applicable, 1 is unimportant and 10 is most important.
Situations of scarcity
Impoliteness
Fraud against individuals or property
A surfeit of isms, particularly rabid UTism, aggression and beliefs.
Governments
General lack of desire for good education - an eduction problem in itself.
Disproportionate rates of improvement between our creations and ourselves.
Inequity of distribution.
Genetic baggage, prions, virii and antibiotic resistant bacteria.
not enough cars that i like that are affordable
Thanks, Hermit.
Thoughts that came up, perhaps worth repeating:
<Raven> Mm. Everyone needs to be Enlightened Apathetic. It's like being stoned, but happier.
<Hermit> Accepting is a big part of that. Happiness and Shit both "just happen". When you stop trying to deal with why, and instead seek to maximize happiness, it happens automagically.
