John,
It's not so much what you say as how you say it... you do come off as a bit haughty in your 'advice' sometimes.
My 2cents.

Horrifying report on China/did anyone watch Planet in Peril last night?
by restrangled infrom the most digusting, filthy food growing conditions of which more and more of our own food is contaminated with to abuse and consumption of exotic animals, especially the endangered.
they are the worlds biggest contributors to the decline of endangered animals and are creating more.
750 large bears were shown in cages with huge metal tubes inserted into their stomachs to suction out bile every day for old chinese medicine recipes.

It would and should affect our purchasing habits and our political views.
It should, but it won't. People want their cheap crap and they are willing to turn a blind eye to any kind of abuse if the prices stay low. If people really cared, there would have been public outcry and real action long ago.

You have three wishes
by John Doe inno wishing for more wishes.
no wishing to know what to wish for.
i, the genie, have the authority to grant your wish or not to grant your wish as i so choose.

Okay, John. This is the real Genie and I'm pissed! (I know, I look happy but that is just so I do not scare the children)
You know full well that true Genie's have only three rules when it comes to wishes:
1.) You can't make people fall in love.
2.) You can't bring people back from the dead.
3.) You can't wish for more wishes.
Other than that, you are supposed to grant the wishes in the spirit in which they are requested and allow the wisher to bear the ramifications of their wishes. Since you have denied wishes, and sarcastically interpreted wishes in a way so as to confound the intention of the wishes, I have only one choice:
You are hereby disbarred from the Make A Wish Foundation and the Federation of Genies for the Betterment of Mankind.
Having thus been thusly dismissed from the Good Genie status, you are now an evil unemployed Genie and your student loans have been called in (we don't help bad Genies with educational expenses for obvious reasons). You are, however, entitled to file a claim with the Unemployment Office and although we will contest your benefits, the Office is likely to approve your benefits.
For all of you who have been wronged by this imposter, please fill out FGBM form #U812 and mail or fax to your nearest office for consideration of having the wish changed to it's original intention. Please note that if a death has occurred due to the skewed reasoning of the evil genie known as "John Doe" a.k.a. "Droopy Drawers" we will be unable to change this due to Genie Rule #2.
Sincerely,
He Who Must Be Obeyed

We need to learn to embrace our differences, not obliterate them.
Sorry, genie. If we have not gotten it by now, most likely we won't. I say eliminate the differences and be done with it. How many lives would it save I wonder?

1) I wish that all humankind was of the same race. Don't care which existing race it is, just pick one variety of human and call it good.
That sounds a little like Hilter's vision.Hitlers vision was to exterminate races he viewed as inferior. I do not feel that any are inferior and the goal would be to blend everyone into one race thereby eliminating racism.
2) I wish that all humankind used the same language fluently.
Why? Do you wish everyone ate ham sandwiches for lunch every day?
Dumb response for an all knowing genie! What ham sandwiches would have to do with uniting all mankind under one language I have no idea.
3) I wish that all humankind was united in the effort to eliminate illiteracy, class, disease, war, poverty and religion.
How do you "cure" religion? I guess I don't understand the basis for your wishes.
You replace it with reason and clear understanding of the natural world and it's origins apart from mythology and ancient rival religions. Of course the basis for my wishes is unity, peace and common vision for the betterment of mankind. You're not really a genie, are you?

Went to one day assembly at the weekend.....
by The Scotsman ini was at the one day assembly at the weekend - we are the clay, jehovah is the potter.. this was the first assembly i have been at as a "thinking" person.. one of the talks mentioned how the world can "prime" our minds.
he said - people just follow what they hear, do not question it, believe anything.. and i thought - hmm, i am surrounded by people like that!!.
a young sister i know was up for baptism - when she stood up to say yes to the couple of questions i just wanted to shout "dont do it".

Uh,Oh... Maybe I should return my Bachelors before the elders find out?
(3) Internet = danger.
Oh, Man! How am I supposed to live?
(4) Pioneering is the best thing you can do.
Huh? You say something?
(5) Their are no excuses to slow down spiritually.
Starting to have issues here... Actually, I don't think I've been to a meeting in... let's see... 10 years? Um no... 14?
(6) Someone who Swears in private is living a double life.
Crap! I'm bird food for sure....
