Top Ten Western Societal Issues That Should Be Paid More Attention To

If you're not a young, white, rich, Christian male, you're gonna get hated. And now you've got police brutality playing into this, with these racist cops killing unarmed, innocent black teens. The rich stand on the poor. Men are misogynists, and women are misandrists. Religion is playing into politics - which it really shouldn't - causing a lot of bias. I really wish people would just get to know each other before judging.

I'm a white female who has a stable income and I'm straight, but does that instantly make me someone who discriminates? NO. I support blacks and LGBTQ+. I respect other religions.

Almost nothing is made local today. Most of the companies we all know and love outsource to countries like Indonesia or Honduras (I have nothing against people living there) and pay their workers less than the average American worker. Why? Greed. Greed is a thing where if you have enough of it, you'll have lots of trouble stopping it.

The majority of countries in the world follow either side of the philosophy, the corporates or the sweatshop workers. There are very few exceptions to this.

Corporations run this country. You can't go anywhere without seeing some big-time company's logo with a registered trademark symbol. Nothing is publicly owned. Groups of people become brainwashed by the idea of money and begin to swallow up all that is original and progressive. It just takes so much variety and texture away from us.

Just a reminder: You're not a bad person for not knowing how to properly take care of kids, as long as you don't choose to have kids.

On one end of the spectrum, there's spoiling, which can make your kids think they can step on everyone and go off scot-free, which can turn them into horrible people. On the other end of the spectrum, there's abusing, which can literally give your kids PTSD and can lead them to horrible places and maybe even dark paths.

In between the extremes is a sweet spot that every parent should aim for.

Why do you care who people like? I'm straight and I support LGBTQ+. I support them if it makes them happy, as long as none of them force me into a relationship.

Many, many, many problems here. If you're straight, sex runs your whole life. It's a good thing! But if you're LGBT, it's your worst nightmare. Homophobia is real. Don't deny it. If a celebrity says, "I'm gay," it's a whole big to-do. When Bruce became Caitlyn, it's "controversial." When Taylor Swift gets a new boyfriend, it's "normal." Think to yourself: does that actually make any sense?

I understand that there are religious views about this. I can be tolerant of you if, for religious reasons, you don't support gay marriage, transgenders, or abortion. But don't let that get in the way of other people's happiness.

We Americans love our money, our food on the table every night, our roofs above our heads...we consume. We dispose and replace. That's a lovely $60 shirt you're wearing! It matches your Italian leather wallet and your shiny shoes. Did you know 1 in 6 American children go to bed hungry every night? Yet the rich people don't seem to care!

Suburban resident rules: always avoid the "bad" part of town. Those aren't bad people. Those are less fortunate people. Poverty is a horrible thing. Those homeless people don't rob you for money or greed. They want to feed their families. They want to live through the next day.

Schools put up all those anti-bullying posters, yet they don't do anything at all about the bullies when they pick on other students.

Agreed. The government should monitor exactly what and how much people eat, especially children, to help prevent obesity.

Shooting after shooting after shooting. It's no surprise that America is basically desensitized to school shootings. Schools genuinely don't feel very safe at all, but nothing is being done about it. This is just infuriating. I don't care if the chances of being a victim of a shooting in America are 1 in 10 million or something. It feels more like 1 in 10. By the time the school shooter gets caught and arrested, it would already be too late. It doesn't matter if all of them get caught anyway.

Children have already gotten traumatized, if not killed, and the only way to prevent that is by preventing the incidents from happening in the first place.

Gun-owning parents, if you're reading this, make sure you SECURELY store your guns, and make sure children can't easily access them to start a school shooting.
