the way it works, what would it be? Make that TWO THINGS.

I would say no mental illness and no pooping. Seriously, I HATE the fact that I have bipolar disorder and I HATE the fact that we as human beings have to poop on a daily or near-daily basis. It is a disgusting fact of life that I absolutely detest.

Hey, I'm with you on the poop thing. Always was jealous of rabbits and their neat poops!

I would make everyone balanced, tolerant of one another and you could eat or drink whatever you wanted with no negative consequences!

Let me really think about this because there is so many things I would change.
Note: I am not a doctor or a psychiatrist and my advice and opinion should be regarded as such.

Seriously, having to poop--smelly, stinking brown logs coming out your asshole on a regular basis--has got to go. It's not only disgusting but also time-consuming to have to continually wipe and look at the paper wipe after wipe 'til you see no brown on the TP. Why God put the septic tank/sewage system within inches of the recreation zone I will NEVER understand. It's demeaning and gross.

I'm definitely with you guys on the pooping. I think its such a chore and its discomforting and like you said demeaning. Peeing is a hassle too. And I would definitely like to change how shallow some women can be. I am disabled because of my BP and since 2007 I haven't had too many dates. I grew up being a ladies man and now no body wants someone with BP and disabled. Its really sad.

Lamictal 300mg
Latuda 160mg
Ativan 2mg as needed
Prazosin 4mg (Nightmares)
Percocet 5mg x 5 a day (Severe Headaches)
Oxycontin 20mg Twice a day (Severe Headaches)

I wish my dogs didn't have to interrupt a perfectly pleasant, aerobic walk by squatting on someone's yard to poop. And I hate it when I then realize that I've forgotten the doggie poop bags and have to scuttle away from the yard like it never happened -- I know bad Karma's brewin' with those steaming turds a-brewin' (on a newly cut lawn)!!!

Number 1)I wish it was still ok to carry around weapons, whether this is a gun, katana, knunchuckas, or whatever . ive always felt that the people using weapons to commit crimes are going to carry them with them illegal or not. Imagine if you will, 3 guys walking through a bad neighborhood at night, some criminal runs up on them with a pistol screaming "Gimme your money!" (mind you even if it were illegal to carry weapons, this man would still have a gun on him)Well, the three men draw two AK-47s, and a katana. Being out-gunned the man may try to run (shoot his leg) then be forced to give up.(The 3 would be victims holding him at gunpoint till the cops arrive) The 3 men which would have been robbed or killed now arresting the robber. I would like to live in this world as well as i could keep my katana on me as both an fashion accessory(i have alot of them)and personal defense as i know perfectly well how to wield it.

(i think i got bit by a spider last night, it itches like crazy)

Number 2) For me, not so much a doing away with mental illness all together,(as almost none of my art would exist without mine) but a better understanding and support system globally. As in people would have to, as a requirement of education before becoming an adult learn about mental illness and have a basic understanding of most all major mental illness, and how to treat those around you with it. This i believe would rid the world of stigmas attached to certain mental illness as they would have a much better understanding of whats fact and what is just made up stigma.

If i had a number 3 i would definitely go with the poop thing.

ON the pooping,I'd suggest what you guys in the states don't usually avail of. A good bidet. Makes the job quicker,cleaner and requires far less paper . Don't know bout the dogs tho,Zadie! Wink

1) People who are fixated on poop wouldn't talk about it in the darnedest places. Keep it to your fellow poop discussors.

2) Cell phones: Make them just good for making conversational calls. No text, no computer, no games. Lowwer the accident rate due to distracted driving, and the rudensee fact by 50%.

open a small business where I could help around the community and provide jobs to people so they gain skills to move to bigger and better places, also get rid of all the terrorists who hate people for no reason based on an occultic idealogy
My experience is no substitute for sound medical advice.
