[QUOTE=Slacks3000;25370132]I teach disabled kids to ride horses here in Hong Kong. It makes me feel good to see the smiles on their faces.[/QUOTE] Did you go to Hong Kong just to help out:')
I enlisted in the U.S. Army. Although it probably wouldn't matter much in the long run...
[QUOTE=Big Dumb American;25370213]I'll be studying engineering if the surgery I need doesn't improve my health any. I want to be a pilot very badly, but matters outside my control may put that beyond my grasp. If things can't be changed, a career as an architect would be just as fulfilling for me.[/QUOTE] You have very commendable goals. I hope everything works out for you:) [editline]13th October 2010[/editline] [QUOTE=ROFLBURGER;25371535]Porn. I'm doing porn [editline]12th October 2010[/editline] Also I'm telling people to post these types of threads In fast threads.[/QUOTE] This is a discussion. Not a simple Q&A thread so it belongs here. Reread the OP instead [editline]13th October 2010[/editline] [QUOTE=nivek;25372085]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.[/QUOTE] They're assholes for doing that but at least it creates a job and you're appreciated for doing it:) [editline]13th October 2010[/editline] [QUOTE=ScoutKing;25372116]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.[/QUOTE] Not everyone has the stomach to be a paramedic So you're on track to doing a good thing:] [editline]13th October 2010[/editline] [QUOTE=Cpl.Shepherd;25372179]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.[/QUOTE] It just makes you sound like a very determined person and shows you love your country [editline]13th October 2010[/editline] [QUOTE=mscmn;25372208]I volunteered at the hospital when I was in high school. 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.[/QUOTE] This might sound weird but I love hospitals. The blankness and the relative cleanliness of them. I hate hospital bills however
Why the fuck are you talking In Haiku form
[QUOTE=xxdeadb0ltxx;25372236]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 :\[/QUOTE] As much as I hate carrying trash on me I'd much rather hold it until I see a garbage can. And your friends should follow your example [editline]13th October 2010[/editline] [QUOTE=CabooseRvB;25372410]Donating 20 dollars to the LA AIDS walk and walking all the 6.2 miles of it.[/QUOTE] That's pimpadelic man [editline]13th October 2010[/editline] [QUOTE=Alex_grist;25373059]I'm not going out drinking every night and smoking. I'm not making it any worse :3[/QUOTE] Does that require a lot of self-control on your behalf? [editline]13th October 2010[/editline] [QUOTE=ReconUnit;25373347]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.[/QUOTE] You're happy from making other people happy That makes you a huge help to society:)) [editline]13th October 2010[/editline] [QUOTE=Handsome Pete;25375516]I teach kids half the week But then again.

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] That's happened to me i don't know how to thank the people who do this but now you know I would like to pay you back somehow:D [editline]13th October 2010[/editline] [QUOTE=D2K5S1;25377827]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] Ahh yes. People need to be more tolerant of others I hope your efforts are rewarded [editline]13th October 2010[/editline] [QUOTE=Mikkelmann;25377845]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.[/QUOTE] Christmas trees have such a wonderful smell. I bet the farm must be a lovely place to live at. Can I have a free cookie? [editline]13th October 2010[/editline] [QUOTE=Madman_Andre;25377864]I enlisted in the U.S. Army. Although it probably wouldn't matter much in the long run...[/QUOTE] What makes you say that? You're there for when your country needs you. Although I wish people were friendly enough that we wouldn't need armies in the first place:/ [editline]13th October 2010[/editline] [QUOTE=Anthophobian;25377959]Why the fuck are you talking In Haiku form[/QUOTE] It's very appealing to me

[QUOTE=Jonathan94;25365100]I would like to discuss how Facepunchers are making the world a better place.[/QUOTE] I stopped creating socially awkward situations, Hope this helps.
When a girl walks besides me I say "Nice", and she stares at me with a nice smile:smile:
I'unno. I suppose killing myself at some point would make the world a better place for a number of reasons.
Not being a douche
Being nice, respecting old people and willing to help my fellow man. Don't know if that counts though.
I don't bump 7-month-old-threads for one thing. I'm working on a project that is planning to incorporate text-to-speech software into standard TV set-top boxes. Basically we're making money and helping the blind at the same time. win-win!
I tutored a kid with grammar and organisation skills for 2 years. [editline]4th May 2011[/editline] That's all I can think of [editline]4th May 2011[/editline] For free, obviously
I try to make someone's day somewhere a little better by being nice on the Internet :unsmith:

What I'm doing to make the world a better place? Fuck all. [editline]4th May 2011[/editline] As in "nothing", not "fuck everything".
Not much really. To think of it, I'm more of a sack of shit than anything. But I try to work as a Certified Nurse Assistant here and there. I take care of your grandparents so YOU don't have to be bothered going to the next concert. I will stay with your granddad in his times of need....
