...........the world, what would it be?

For me I would change things so anything that someone did that was negative they became the ones that suffer for it.
Obviously you there are a lot of caveats and things to consider that wouldn't always work but you get the rought idea.

Example- this is a simple example, someone hits you......they feel it.
Someone steals from you, they end up with that much less money
Drunk driver hits someone........he dies instead of them (seems like the drunks never die)

Basically whatever they do bad things they do PURPOSELY immediately happens to them. Can you imagine a world like that?

So what would you change?

    As sucky as it can be, I wouldn't change much. But I do wish people were more tolerant of things. Not necessarily accepting and all free love about things... just tolerant.

    What caused me to think about this was our patients at the my job. I work at a spine clinic and see people that were rear ended or in a car accident that changed there life in the worst way. Not only their finances but their health and now they have constant back pain, several surgeries, are on pain medicines that they can potentially become addicted to, can't work, or live the life they used to all because some A-hole had to send a text on their phone or cut them off because they couldn't wait to get around them and the people that hit them never seem to have insurance, a pot to piss in or a window to throw it out of. So basically not much ends up happening to them. So I was thinking how different people would act if the things they did to others, they were made to suffer the consequences of.

    This will eventually happen. We are just a part of the animal kindom as the rest.... We will do it to ourselves, just like wolves and deer in the wild. Although it's going to take some nasty suffering for it to happen though.

    It would be nice if consequences hit a bit faster than they do. Drunks and aggressive distracted drivers need to not bounce so well.

    pretty much all the above +

    accountability ... those folks that just think they are "entitled" to do whatever they want and don't have to pay the price for it..

    I'd Karma swing that banhammer hard if I could... and not even the big stuff.. but the annoying crap daily...

    - don't park inside the lines cause the rules don't apply... gone
    - talking loud on your cell in the store cause you important....gone
    - just taking your time strolling along holding everyone else up on the escalator...GONE

    don't get me started on the big stuff either... bring back dungeons and slow torture as ways of punishment and see how fast the world changes.

    if everyone took 2 seconds to think about how their actions might affect the people around them, we'd be much better off. instead of always me, me , me , me

    I would change the ridiculous names people name their kids these days.

    I knew twins who were named Abra and Cadabra. And a girl who was named Fuquandria (pronounced like it looks).

    And my favorite? A girl who was named Bonequeefa.

    True stories.

    Assuming that your wish has come true, I'd go for the 'eliminate organized religion'. That to me is criminal.
