Oh, social media—what a wonderful way to display our personal political views, and bash those of others. It's great entertainment at times, and engagingly offensive to someone, somewhere, always. But instead of politics, can we rant about something else just for a second? There’s a lot of issues in our world that are just as important, if not more important, than political candidates, divided political topics (looking at you abortion, gun control, and minimum wage), and falsely researched "facts" typed into witty e-cards. We will always be a divided nation on many issues. But there’s some things that deserve our attention that I think we can all agree should be put before the beat–to-death arguments that no one ever wins. Here are some things that are way more alarming than the fact that our opinions on abortion and guns may differ from our peers.

1. Our homeless population

2. Lack of resources for struggling veterans

3. Child abuse

4. Hunger

5. Disease

6. Inadequate sexual education

7. Prescription drug abuse in teens

8. Prescription drug abuse in anyone

9. The fact that binge-drinking still exits

10. The fact that slut-shaming still exists

11. The fact that mass killings still happen

12. People are killed for their sexual orientation

13. Our law enforcement doesn’t get to feel safe, ever.

14. Racial tension

15. The fact that we have military who won’t get to come home

16. No one can afford an education

17. Our mega churches cost as much as it would take to feed an impoverished nation

18. The fact that some people aren’t vaccinating their kids

19. The fact that some moron decided that vaccines can cause autism

20. The fact that autism is scoffed at like a disease that can be “caught”

21. The suicide rate

22. The domestic abuse rate

23. Road rage killing innocent people

24. The sexualization of everything

25. Human Trafficking

26. Staggering mental health issues, and minimal resources to deal with them
