What's wrong with the world? One word: Statism.

A Statist is a person who subscribes to a mythical belief that aggression, threats and theft can be used to provide protection and services to the very same people who are the targets of that aggression.

Oh this could take a while... HIPPIES, global warming alarmists, eco douches, Chavs, Hipsters, emos, everyone else who claims to be different whilst belonging to a group and claiming I don't get it, feminists, neo-liberals, neo-conservatives, religious fundamentals, religion, lack of funding for sciences, uni's offering non-degrees and lowering the standard of a degree, people who scream discrimination for any reason, people who drive but have no idea how to (in the UK at least), England football fans, bigots, people who're just plain rude, actual discriminators, government organisations (DVLA, DSA, DWP...) and that's all I can think for now...

EDIT; also media and the extremist pro-choice lot.
Why do you think all of these things are wrong?

And I'll be honest, this one hits a little close to home, so may i ask what exactly is wrong with Feminists?
By feminists I mean the militant man hating, everything is sexist feminists not the actual just want equality ones. And as for why I think a lot of that well for people it's extremists and douches. For sciences funding and uni courses it's being a scientist in a horibly underfunded field. And as for government bodies I don't think too much is needed other than the word incompetence.

More people would rather spend time complaining about their problems on the Internet than standing up and actually solving them.

Yup, exactly that. If I say someone looks pretty it's a compliment I should not be hounded to the end of the Earth for it. I'm not judging the worth of the individual based on their looks I'm saying something nice to them.

What's wrong with the world is that there's not enough cake. The cake shortage led to the Great Cake Famine of '10, leading many to believe that there was no cake at all and that it was nothing but a great big lie.

This myth was used and abused by scientific corporations hoping to secure test subjects by promising them a piece of the fabled cake. Despite reports of people never having received any cake and vanishing mysteriously at the end of their term testing for scientific facilities, there was at least one cake reported to have been found within a warehouse. It was rumoured to have been a chocolate gateaux. With cherries.

Too many portal references, not enough fire. That's a major pair of wrongs in the world.

There's no more cartridge-based games in production. I love my Super Nintendo and want to grab a Genesis and, NES but buying games for them is difficult because you either don't know where to find them or, once you do have a source, the games are incomplete (no box, no manual). Not to mention the price but sometimes you can get lucky.

The cake is a metaphor for half life 2: ep 3.

It is a reward dangled in front of people's faces to get them to follow valve devoutly and play their games but it doesn't exist and once vavle is done with you they will sell your organs.

Ugh. Don't even get me started on this.

There are so many things wrong with the world, but people are definitely the worst. There are exceptions, but that's not the point. In my experience, people are loud, disruptive, destructive, arrogant, stupid, slow, clumsy, ungrateful, apathetic, stubborn, narrow-minded, selfish, sex-driven, crude, unaware, irresponsible, unkind, unhelpful, tasteless, spoiled, reckless and/or possessing of various other negative traits. The people I hate most are the intolerant ones, though.

People are all of those things without exception, it's the individual who is different. It's kinda like hive intelligence only it's hive stupidity. Put an amount of individuals together, the more you add, the more these traits appear.
