Porn. I'm doing porn [editline]12th October 2010[/editline] Also I'm telling people to post these types of threads In fast threads.
Because there are few serious post on this thread I feel I'll contribute... As a licensed scuba diver I got to a few different lakes in state parks and clean out all the empty beer bottles and trash people from the city throw in during the weekend. It isn't much but it helps.
Ive not made the world a better place seeing im a 16 year old high school student. But if it means anything, I plan to become a paramedic so i guess ill contribute.
Serve my country. Been my dream since I witnessed the 9/11 attacks as a young kid on T.V. That scared the shit out of me and from there on I vowed to keep my younger sister and the rest of my family safe as well as my fellow countrymen. Sounds a bit corny, but whatever. Only thing I can really see myself doing in the future and nobody is going to stop me.

You should probably look into it and get a feel for the environment. I learned a lot from it and I'm not even interested in medicine.
Recycling. Makes a big difference per person. I can't remember the last time I littered either. I don't like getting anal about it with my friends but it actually pisses me off when I see a friend carelessly toss away his garbage outside :\

Not have children, teach poeple how to think logically, give money to the starving, donate some of my cpu to seti and help the venus project so I think that is good enough.
Sometimes I go out for a drive in the bad part of town so I can abduct and kill prostitutes as a way of venting the sexual frustration I've built up towards my own mother. How's that?
many tax dallors are spent so I can eat, cloths, and live so im more of a leach on the world once I think about it :(
Donating 20 dollars to the LA AIDS walk and walking all the 6.2 miles of it.
I use as little "green" materials as possible.

It'll definitely be good to have that experience once you get to college, I've got a few friends that are nursing majors and they say it's a lot easier on them having been in the program.
I'm not going out drinking every night and smoking. I'm not making it any worse :3
[QUOTE=Alex_grist;25373059]I'm not going out drinking every night and smoking. I'm not making it any worse :3[/QUOTE] You eat and use fuil so almost everyone is making it worse
I mostly just help people with things I'm good at, like sketching/drawing and history (I'm still in school), other then that I just generally try to make people smile laugh and be happy instead of just going around being sad/bored/whatever, and that basically makes me more happy about myself too if I managed to make someones day better.
I teach kids half the week But then again. I'm baked the whole fucking time
Im going to India for 6 weeks to build houses. and drink.
I helped a man get the radio out of his car he locked himself out of. Lost his keys or something.
[QUOTE=Jonathan94;25365100]I would like to discuss how Facepunchers are making the world a better place. Please share experiences and also ideas on things that you'd like to do but might need help with doing. Recommendations and advice to others is also appreciated. [B]Pictures showing you performing your good deeds receive gaybows (that's a good thing here)[/B][/QUOTE] I donate blood when I can and I'm going to join the organ donors register for when I die.
I pull funny faces at babies to calm them down when there upset and hold doors open for people.
I've worked in several environmental programs, Americorps as a Pre-K teacher at a low income school, two soup kitchens, and I fart ponies.
Not having a carbon footprint by wearing rubber shoes.
[QUOTE=The Advisor;25365933]Recycling an not littering, but it's not a subject that keeps me up at night.[/QUOTE] You still recycle so thumbs up:) [editline]13th October 2010[/editline] [QUOTE=ThePuska;25365952]If knowledge and education have intrinsic value, I'm improving humanity as a whole by being part of it and studying[/QUOTE] What are you studying? [editline]13th October 2010[/editline] [QUOTE=Arachnidus;25366028]Get epic grades and learn a lot so I can go to med school, become a doctor and (even if it's just an attempt), save lives.[/QUOTE] I'm aiming for the same thing I love helping others Is there any branch of medicine you're particularly interested in? [editline]13th October 2010[/editline] [QUOTE=rosar0980;25366046]Being myself, and designing a nearly impenetrable 500-person Apoc bunker. All we can do is be ourselves.[/QUOTE] What pushed you to make the bunker? [editline]13th October 2010[/editline] [QUOTE=PyroCF;25366088]Army I suppose. Though I didn't join it to serve my country as any of the main reasons.[/QUOTE] Why did you join then? To get away from your parents? [editline]13th October 2010[/editline] [QUOTE=strayebyrd;25366094]Also I implemented quotes from fight club to get this whipped kid at my college to break up with his Ice-bitch girlfriend, and now he's dating a girl who he's actually happy with. I don't even really like the guy, but I felt I owed it to him to tell him what his friends wouldn't.[/QUOTE] Would you care to give more details on the story? Like what quotes he used
I work in a store and when little kids come in to buy candy and it's maybe 1-50 kronurs more than they have I usually pay the rest off. There was this one time a kid came in with enough money and he put it on the belt near the gap, and 100 kronurs of it slipped in. He just looked very surprised and I went, "Take it, I'll pay it off!" I bet I made that kid's day.
[QUOTE=strayebyrd;25366111]out of curiosity OP, are you writing in verse here? [editline]11:12PM[/editline] oh yea, they are dickheads, but I keep quiet and smile anyway. One day I'll probably end up having a breakdown and shooting up the place, but I'm good for now.[/QUOTE] I like it better when I write like that than to just have a big square full of words And your patience may pay off so who knows, you might not have to shoot the place up in the future [editline]13th October 2010[/editline] [QUOTE=Askaris;25366139]Making sure to give homeless guys some spare change when I see them. That and learning how to create robots and similar. If I can make a good quality prosthetic arm, I'll say I've done alright.[/QUOTE] Engineering is so cool:D I want to learn that too and that's nice that you help the homeless. I can't do that at the moment :/
Make people laugh.
Teach people how to not to be stereotypical shits. I've taught a lot of people to be more green, to stop being religious dumbfucks (converted loads of people to be atheist by now), how to live and how to improve their opinions on themselves.
[QUOTE=JustExtreme;25366181]Fuck, I did this over summer. You never realise what cunts the average people are until you work in a goddamn supermarket![/QUOTE] I've worked in stores but now I'm guessing a supermarket is a totally different experience:o
I sell christmas trees, give people free cookies and "gløgg" (google it) in winter, because I live on a christmas tree farm. I also recycle plastic and paper. Aside from that, not much.
