I would remove greed.  To me, greed is in truth the root of all the other evils in the world.  It makes people envious, gluttonous, lustful, angry, prideful and slothful.  Greed is the well spring from which all of our bad qualities flow.

If we could get rid of greed, there would be plenty for everyone...but that is just my opinion though.
But that's one damn good opinion though. If there was an 'Extra Like' button, I'd hit it.

I'd blink and all pollution would be gone from our world. Rivers and lakes would be crystal clean. No more smog anywhere. No litter, piles of trash on our land or in our oceans. No toxins in our bodies or in any animals. Pesticide, insecticide, herbicide etc-- free food. No drugs in our drinking water. And the like... Many ailments and diseases would vanish due to our clean world and maybe we'd think clearer too. lol

Some very good answers so far...the removal of intolerance, greed and hate.  Removal of all pollution would be good too, but i'm afraid we would just Re pollute without changing something of ourselves?
     I might choose the removal of EGO ?..  anyway,  the kind that makes people feel a need to be richer, stronger, prettier,  or "better" in some way.    But, maybe Ego is one of the driving forces of man'kind' ?   Maybe it's a factor in someone building a better mousetrap or other inventions?
    I might choose the removal of Fear,  because i'm convinced that hate is actually Fear, turned outward!
But, without fear,  could we have even survived our early beginnings?  
  So... i dunno.  Maybe the removal of UNHAPPINESS ?... i think we might be able to do without that?  :)

i know i made a joke before but after careful consideration and without reading everybodies answers i now have my own answer. if i could change one thing in the world, it would be pedophillia. i would make it nonexistent.

i'd remove hate because that would solve 95% of the world's problems.

If you don't know hate, how can you objectively know love?

Change only one thing right? Okay, I would give mankind the Truth, and when I say truth I mean the whole absolute truth as to the nature of the universe. That would be enough

Hypothetically, if there was just one single thing I could change about this world, I would wish for super-powers (perhaps like those of Dr.Manhattan or Hancock) so that I could be like the greatest defender of truth and justice and of the people of this planet. Criminals would flee in terror, and the ladies would love my costume. My girlfriend would then worship me, my life and my profession would be amazing and the world would become more awesome. But the bottom-line is that, everyone would win (except for the bad guys)!!!
I would love to have the powers of "Peter Petrelli", of the tv series "Heroes".  Man, how I would change alot of bad things in this world!  Sort out crime, abuse, murder, animal cruelty in no time!

Seriously, If I could just get rid of all that is evil and with that I mean all those who are hurting others.  Like I mentioned before, life would be just perfect and beautiful if all the murderers, thieves, rapists etc. can be removed.

Oh, that is a brilliant idea.
"I warn you, whoever you are, oh you who wish to probe the arcanes of nature, if you do not find within yourself that which you seek, neither shall you find it outside.
If you ignore the excellencies of your own house, how do you intend to find other excellencies?
In you is hidden the treasure of treasures, Oh man, know thyself and you shall know the Universe and the Gods."

It's a great wish, Bluegre2 but humans struggle with the Truth.  They "adapt" it to fit themselves.  Always, in my experience.  :) + :(

I wish for a world where babies ain't dying every hour of every day through lack of clean drinking water while "civilized" folk like ourselves sit eating pancakes and syrup.
