I'm not sure I agree with this. I did at first but then I thought about what intolerance actually is. It is not the inability to generate contrary beliefs, but the inability to respect these beliefs. I think that you can still "fight" for something you truly believe while still "tolerating" or respecting the beliefs of others.
I chose intolerance mainly because I think it would eliminate a few other problems on the list as well. Often the worlds largest problems (genocide, war) are caused by intolerance.
I'm surprised so many people chose animal cruelty. I would not have thought to even add it to the list of options. Besides that option (and perhaps political correctness), it's a tough choice.
I dont think that your two sentences are parallel, as using ethos and pathos don't necessarily make a person stupid. There is more to being not stupid than being logical.
You're right, there are times when it's appropriate to look to ethos and pathos. But I'd say that the vast majority of the time, we would better off relying on logic.
I'd eliminate lack of self-motivation towards wisdom. Everyone should try to understand morality, and persistence towards it would lead to solving every one of these, eventually.
If everyone is socially equal then there is a sense of egalitarianism which I think would eliminate all other things because intolerance, cruelty and corruption stem from the belief of being better then the other person
Hmm how about eliminate being a jerk or a dick? It ties into not harming/killing other people, not diminishing the quality in which people live , not being intolerant and so on.
But then whose dick would you lick when you need a fat one to suck on because yours is like a miniature tootsie roll? I mean really, think this through man because seriously you've seemed to need my dick in your face twice a day for the last few weeks and I don't expect that to stop anytime soon.
Peaceful.

Animal cruelty. All of us, even we humans are animals. If only we could eliminate this wholesale...
People would eliminate private ownership over all else? Really?
Rape, of course.
And there's also cancer, but I'm not sure it exactly fits in this category.
I'd like it if everyone made decisions and judgements based on logic and reason only. So I guess you could say I'd eliminate stupidity.

At first I thought greed. Though I think indifference is what I would most like to eliminate.
Interesting. I was thinking zealotry. They are sort of opposites. I see your point. Either extreme seems to cause problems.

I think these are either fairly big issues.
Religion.

Black people because their nature is terrible. Always stealing and starting fights

Good question. I was thinking that they were synonymous but I suppose there maybe be other types of corruption - can you think of any?
Yes! I hate gerrymandering. Grrrr. Our state is notorious as I am sure many others are.
