That's right. There are no problems with the world whatsoever.

Chances are the first thing that comes to mind is a fanciful illusion.

Prove me wrong.

Again, that is the comedy of political drama. This has happened for thousands of years. It's not really a problem for me either, since it doesn't really affect me. It isn't a problem for anybody who doesn't have a vested interest in the conflict, or stopping it.

Not my problem, not my problem, not my problem, not my problem, not my problem, not my problem, not my problem, not my problem, not my problem, and not my problem.

north korea, iran

Those countries are the government's problem, not mine. They're not threatening me personally.

mental retardation

lol

floods, earthquakes, tornadoes, tsunamis

Not my problem, not my problem, not my problem, and not my problem.

horrible school systems

Was my problem but not anymore.

poverty, evil governments, collapsing governments, dirty water

Not my problem, not my problem, not my problem, and not my problem.

obesity

Could be my problem. But not right now.

black holes, supernova blasts, advanced alien civilizations

Can't do anything about these.

animal attacks

Not my problem.

bad music, bad television

Don't listen to either. Not my problem.

and shitty threads on the BBS.

That's the mods' problem.

So far none of you have actually given me a compelling argument. None of these are really my problem, and even if they were, they would be mine and someone else's problem, not the problem of everyone on planet Earth. "The world" does not have problems. People do. Saying "the world" has a problem means that you expect everyone else to help you in solving what you perceive to be a problem.

Oh, you want a problem that affects the world? The plague called humanity slowly eating away at the natural resources and destroying it's land. Pumping toxins into it's atmosphere, and even when it tries to filter them out using plants we destroy the environments of those very same plants. Humanity is slowly choking the world, therefore it is the world's problem.

You assume that humanity is "the world" and that humanity's problems are the world's problems. Humanity and the world and two entirely different things, and their problems should be treated separately.

Does the fact your trolling count as your problem?
Its not like you arent affected by some of those things even if you cant do anything about them, I see no reason you could possibly have for posting that exept that your trolling

A worthy try, but no, that really isn't the world's problem. That's the problem of the non-human organisms on the planet. But they're too dumb to care for the most part, so it's not really "their problem" -- if anything, a tree's problem is the forester cutting down, a deer's problem is the hunter shooting it, etc. "The world" does not have a problem in that regard because the natural world is not an entity unto itself.

You assume that humanity is "the world" and that humanity's problems are the world's problems.

Actually, that would be everyone else in this thread, not me. Also, "nature" is not "the world" either. It is only a part of the world. If humanity started a nuclear war and wiped out itself as well as 99.9% of all the species on the planet, the world would still start turning. Life would still exist in some places. And after a few million years, life on this planet would pick itself back up again.

The world does not really have problems. Life-forms on it do.

Some "things that people worry about" are not necessarily problems, to me or to them. For example, if the possibility of a supernova explosion destroying the Earth existed, it would not really be a problem because you couldn't do anything about it in the first place. In fact, it would compel you to accept the state of things.

You guys are a bunch of self centered dicks if you are seriously saying "not my problem".

How am I self-centered for saying it is not my problem? It isnot my problem. It is somebody else's problem. Somebody else should deal with it, not me. You are being a self-righteous twat if you think I should care about other people's problems.

Yes, the world does have problems you dick face. Just because they aren't problems for YOU doesn't mean they are problems.

No, those aren't "the world's" problems. Those are people's problems. Certain people's problems.

I'm sure I'm "affected" by these things, just like I'm affected by everything else in the bloody universe. But they are not problems for me or for most of humanity. Global warming, for example, is not my problem; it is the problem of people living in low-lying countries or people trying to grow food to sell to the market, etc. The fact that it is a problem for them does not make it a problem for me. If somewhere along the line world food prices collapse and civilization goes under, finding food for myself to survive will be my problem.

It is up to others to deal with their own problems. And how do they do that, at least in part? -- They try to trick everyone else into thinking it is "everyone's problem", i.e. that it is everyone's "moral duty" to do something about it.

This is the best of all worlds, because there is no alternative. So it wins by default.

Overall, sure, there's quite some shit going on on some ethical level, but I do like the fact that someone does something else then cursing humankind. The Nile is a nice place to live in. (even considering all those crocs)

It'll take a while longer than that actually. And in fact, in a billion years, the sun's output will increase by around 10% and most life on Earth will die out long before that. Any intelligent life on the surface will have moved out or died out millions of years before. And if humanity or any other sort of intelligent beings are around to think about this, they'd have hundreds of millions of years to solve it anyway.

But no. Chances are I'll be dead by then. Chances are humanity will die out by then.

And if "the world" -- i.e. humanity, planet Earth, whatever -- does not care, it's not a problem. "The world" in fact does not care about the "problems" that humans create on it -- humans create their own "problems." But it is not a problem of "all humanity" -- it is a problem for those who care about the issue at hand, and it is not their place to force me to care.
