I'm just wondering what you guys consider are the biggest problem for humans right now. I'll get the ball rolling, this is what I consider are the most pressing problems, in order of importance.
1.Global Warming
2.Islam
3.Genetic IQ diffrences between races
4.Religion
5.Multicultralism/Moral relativity
1. Global Warming
2. Poverty
3. Intolerance
4. Corruption within financial institutions and government

1. Religious Delusions leading to religious persecution and an ignorant "god-did-it" view of the world.
2. Racism
3. Pseudo-science, where people act off of science-lite claims (such as global warming, racism as demonstrated by the OP, and creationism).
4. Poverty
5. Nuclear weapons, proliferation.
You know, there isn't any proof that genetic "differences" between races contribute to IQ issues. Would you care to back up your racist statement? That view was the foundation of eugenics...Quote by: Darklordabc

When I claim that global warming is a pseudo science...I mean it. There simply is not enough evidence to support the assertion that humans are the cause. Most people who accept global warming think that there is proof, but there isn't. I used to believe global warming until I did some research. There are only correlations, and there are many holes in this theory.

Wow, didn't even notice that one. Good question Night. But by the same token, maybe you ought to explain your number 1 problem a little more.

Night dont call me a racist and I wont call you an idiot (for not beliving global warming).

This is the only post I will make defending my choice. This thread already has huge potential for derailing, lets try to avoid side arguments.

1) Climate change.
2) Religion and its subsequent delusional views.
3) Nationalism/lack of multiculturalism.
4) Disdain for intellectualism.
5) Regressionist trends throughout the world (by which I mean Islamism on the rise in the Middle East and right wing nonsense in Europe).

"The fact has not created in me
A sense of obligation."

The Forum Rules
Too often we enjoy the comfort of opinion without the discomfort of thought.
[John F. Kennedy]
The principal value of debate lies in the development of logical thought processes, and the ability to articulate your positions publicly.
[Senator Dick Clark of Iowa]
The presence of those seeking the truth is infinitely to be preferred to the presence of those who think they've found it.

1. Stupidity.
2. Greed.
3. Ignorance.
4. Lack of compact nuclear fusion reactors.
5. Not enough hours in the day.
The more you complain, the less I care about your problems.
1)Censorship
2)Selfishness
3)Ignorance
4)Socialism
5)Inequality
The first three, to me, seem like one, big problem.
World Poverty and Hunger
World Economy
World Governance, Corruption, and Stupidity
World and mid-east conflicts
Intolerance of beliefs
