Hey everyone, hope you're all having a good day.
Thanks for opening today and for tagging me @1964dodge.
And welcome to the forum @Froggie, hopefully you can feel as at home here as your dad.

1. what would make the next generation better on his earth

Personally, i would suggest throwing our current educational system (standardised testing, the ways kids are taught to just regurgitate information, etc) in the bin, and starting over with a new system which prioritises helping each student practise their own personal strengths and shore up some of their biggest weaknesses. It would at the very least be far better for the mental health of kids going through that school system, and would likely produce a generation of much more specifically capable adults.

2. name anything positive that you can think of about this planet

The human drive to always learn more, understand more, and question more.
Also just the wide variety of awesome and fascinating species that make life so varied and wonderful.

3. what would you like to see as a trait most humans would have

An ability to have a frank discussion about the logic of a given course of action, even if it's one you don't morally or emotionally agree with. Being able to discuss these things both helps with finding a better course of action, and aids in understanding why the course of action being discussed may appeal to others.

Hi Mike, thank you for opening and tagging me.
Welcome to SF, @Froggie I hope we can help and that you feel well here.
Also hi to everyone, hope you have a beautiful day!

1. what would make the next generation better on his earth? The same things as for every generation - kindness, empathy, education, open-mindedness.

2. name anything positive that you can think of about this planet? The whole planet in itself is positive... Getting to experience it for this very brief (and in the grand scheme of things, insignificant) moment is a gift.

3. what would you like to see as a trait most humans would have? Most people have what they need, I just wish they used it better, or took the opportunity to use it better, mostly for their own sakes and happiness.

First of all, welcome to SF @Froggie Wish you did not need us, but glad you found us.


1. what would make the next generation better on his earth
Hope I don't get in trouble for this, but I believe a resurgence of SINCERE Christianity, and people who actually follow and live the beliefs would make the next generation better.

2. name anything positive that you can think of about this planet
This is an incredibly varied and beautiful planet. Just consider nature. The oceans, mountain, rivers, huge variety of plants and animals. The natural world is absolutely amazing.

3. what would you like to see as a trait most humans would have
Love yourself and love your neighbor as yourself.

Hey @1964dodge . Thanks for tagging me and opening the cafe. I didn't see your menu. It would be nice if you bring up some delicious items. I would also like to welcome your daughter @Froggie . My answers to your questions are:-
(1) Decreasing hatred and crime will make the next generation better. Developing love,empathy and compassion.
(2)One positive thing that I think about this planet is the beauty of nature. Nature has provided us everything we need - food, medicines and other resources.
(3) Love,empathy and compassion.

1. what would make the next generation better on his earth
Developing a greater level of tolerance, understanding and being more liberal minded instead of having a closed off unshakeable mindset.

2. name anything positive that you can think of about this planet
The natural beauty that still exists and so not tainted by mankind.

3. what would you like to see as a trait most humans would have
As with question #1 - tolerance and empathy. All these gifts, all these resources bestowed upon humankind has to a point been pissed up the wall in terms of self-serving or destructive outcomes. More greater emphasis on realising the positive potential for the benefits of all wouldn't be a bad idea.

 

[Froggie]

I didn't know your daughter joined! She's got to be cool if she's related to you. A big welcome to her.

Thank you for the welcoming everyone

Thanks for the tag @1964dodge, hi @Froggie

1. what would make the next generation better

Stop nurturing and rewarding narcissism, stop admire narcs as role models. Change “values” the western society is imposing on us, money, success and power…with the “goal justifies the means” motto…constant competition who’s better, who has more, who’s a loser…argh it pisses me off

2. name anything positive that you can think of about this planet

Life itself, I mean the entire nature with flora and fauna, everything that grows, reproduces and evolves.
Also a romantic love.

3. what would you like to see as a trait most humans would have

Compassion, integrity and inability to hate.

1. what would make the next generation better on his earth

Not sure I understand the question..if you mean what would make things better on Earth for the next generation, that's a tough call ...I think humanity has passed a point of no return, to be brutally honest.

Maybe people just choosing to be nicer to each other, and not procreating so goddamn much?

A tall order, but one can dream...

2. name anything positive that you can think of about this planet

Homo sapiens will be gone soon (relatively speaking)

3. what would you like to see as a trait most humans would have

Sterility that kicks in after one child...

Welcome to @ Dodge’s Dauhter!!

1. what would make the next generation better on his earth. Less behaving entitled and understand responsibility goes with rights. Just being alive doesn't make a person a prince or princess.

2. name anything positive that you can think of about this planet. Nature in all forms.

3. what would you like to see as a trait most humans would have. Common sense.

I'm late, seems my thing lately, but I'm here!
Welcome @Froggie you'll fit right in. Don't worry about learning to tag and post, it comes with time. If you have questions don't be afraid to ask. We were all new once and nobody here will mind answering.


1. What would make the next generation better on his earth
Discipline - I'm not talking punishment, I'm talking about focus and drive to accomplish something.

2. Name anything positive that you can think of about this planet
I am amazed by nature (minus the bugs). Waterfalls, slow moving creeks, wind rustling through the trees and that is good about this planet.

3. What would you like to see as a trait most humans would have
Compassion
