What issue in society do you think is near impossible to fix? (kbin.melroy.org)

Alcohol.

Lots and lots of people lean heavily on it and think that alcohol is the spice of their life. When, it contributes to so many problems than it's so-called benefits. We tried, in America anyways, to outright ban alcohol. Problem was that the person who wanted it banned, was too extremist.

Like he didn't think it all through and think just going for the jugular of the problem is what will work. When, it didn't and just made people work around it until eventually the ban was dismantled.

So, since then, we've been putting up with drunk drivers, drunk disputes, drunk abusers and other issues. I still wish we could just slam our hands down at the desk and demand we sit to discuss in how to properly deal with this issue than people proclaiming that it's not a problem.

Lying in bed, debating if you have to pee bad enough to get up

What are you talking about? Catheters have already solved this problem

You have to take it out though

[โ€“] [email protected] 2 points 2 days ago

That's a different problem. Or, if you don't want to solve that problem, you'll have an infection problem. But you don't have to worry about getting out of bed in the middle of the night anymore.
