Five things the World would be a better place without. [Archive]

Pick five things you think the world would be a better place without.
My list:

1) Wasps.
Seriously they don't do anything for anyone. They don't even have the common decency to die after they sting you.

2) Corporate Greed.
I just think it's to blame for a lot of the shit in the world. Worst of all, I don't benefit from it.

3) Unnecessary Bureaucracy.
Filling out forms that no-one will ever look at simply so someone can get a rubber stamp and stamp another form no-one will ever look at and so on and so on and so on... My latest one was a "Health & Safety" form I had to fill out for work. I purposefully answered everything incorrectly. No-one is yet to pull me up about it.

4) "Urban" SUVs.
By this I mean the big off-roader looking things that were never designed to go off road. The "RAV4" type things. Inefficient, unneccesary and pointless. Driven mostly by stay-at-home suburban mothers.

5) Geese.
Evil fuckers. Y'know they're plotting to destroy us.

1) Crime.

Just gtfo, seriously.

2) Sitcoms and shows that use those fake audience laughs.

Just gtfo, seriously.

3) Paper currency.

Work your ass off so I can give you this paper.

4) Fruitcakes.

No one likes them.

5) Early morning toddler shows.

Toddlers shouldn't watch T.V. And I shouldn't have to watch the shows they shouldn't be watching because they still shouldn't watch T.V.

From Best to worst:

5: Tar pits - When have they helped anyone?

4: Islam - Sorry to be insensitive, but so far in my life it has done more harm than good

3: "Urban" SUVs.

^ This is Tyr's #4, too lazy to quote

2: World Of Warcraft - Forget the killings, suicides, wasted money, and god awful internet terms, the sheer amount of time wasted into a character just so you can give it up and start a new one?!?!?!?! REALLY?

Only good thing that will come of it is it is funding the BEAST that will be Starcraft 2

1: Spies - Anyone in TF2 or real life that makes you feel uneasy and untrustworthy and turns you paranoid gets a thumbs down

4. Fast food: Is a generally all around good idea because it's cheap, releases endorphins, and if you know how to exercise and eat in moderation has no downsides, So i'm not even sure why it's in my list

I used mah fixin powers, and what's this? More defence!

1. Religion
Reason for all wars, destruction, and Human Suffering.

2. Atomic Weapons
The power do destroy the planet is a power that no human should have.

4. The Failure Governments of Today

Religion - Gives some people hope for the future, but me personally no. Less suicides taking up news time sounds like a good deal, but Islam right now...... not a good representation

Atomic Weapons - We are destroying the planet anyway, but I do agree no person should use them

Government - Lets see others do better is what I say. Go to Africa and run a country with the fear of assassination, do it!

Really? Fast food is one of the worst things for you and its not just because of the calories. Exercise isnt going to get rid of all the nasty processed shit thats in fast food. Try again, you failed on that one.

Government - Lets see others do better is what I say. Go to Africa and run a country with the fear of assassination, do it!

A retard monkey could do a better job of running this country than our politicians do. At least the monkey wouldnt be completely corrupt and spend billions of dollars to bailout greedy and poorly run companies at our expense.

I don't get why people hate on EA so much, I can understand the DRM issues. But the games they have been pushing out recently have been grade A titles. I love EA when their content is on steam, or my xbox, since DRM is gone.

Oh and my contribute to this thread:

5.Girls that are ugly and think they are the shit. If you have ever met one, you know you hate them from the bottom of your soul

4.People that lie about everything and anything just to sound cool
ex. Me "hey can I borrow this pen?" Them " Yea, but you know that I got this pen from this convention, and some guy signed a picture I had...blah blah blah bs bs bs" And you know they are clearly lying.

3. Fanboys that blatantly hate anything without knowing anything about it.
example: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k-uTnqYHZ-I
possibly the most retarded person in the world

2. Good food gone bad, you know the kind that tastes so good, but makes you sick after.
Like people that are allergic to foods but still love to eat it.

1. Crime, I had near a thousand dollars stolen from me, good thing I caught his ass and put him behind bars for 4 years.

Name the processed shit in the fast food please, so far I have eaten many years worth of fast food.

My weight is fine, blood pressure is eggscellent, and well....... no negative side effects, no allergies, diseases, nothing

WHY IS PROCESSED STUFF BAD FOR ME??!?!?!?

Dude I dont have to name anything. Just look at a mcdonalds hamburger. Just take a look up close and tell me that shit isnt bad for you no matter how much exercising you do.

Stop being a liberal hypocrite. Im not defending Fox News, but dont act like every media outlet in this country who isnt right wing tells us all the truth. Im so sick of people criticizing Fox as if all the liberal media doesnt slant the news to fit their agendas. The entire media (Read: Every single news outlet) slants the news to their way of thinking. Its not just Fox.

No, it's just that Fox has lowered the bar further than anyone else - therefore they have come to symbolize what is wrong with the media.

Are you saying that we would not be better off without them? That's all the thread was about after all ...

IMO you have to be leaving your brain at the door if you tune in to Fox for news ...

5: Operator Please. I want to punch every single member of that band in the face numerous times followed by a good ol' fashioned drowning.

4: Those people who go onto games/forums and exclaim they have a girlfriend when it isn't relevant at all. You know the people I'm talking about. If you were playing L4D and your mum rang you would yo say "Sorry guys, mum's on the phone"? No, you probably wouldn't. SO why do you feel the need to metnion you're talking to your girlfriend? I don't give a shit about your life, I do not care if you ahve a girlfriend or not! /rant

3: Assholes. Just generally people who decide to act like complete dickheads for no reason what-so-ever.

2: I'm going to try to not generalise on this. But the majority of Americans I have played a game with have not given you guys a good name. If I were to list everything, we'd be here all day. The main one is racism. Suure the occasional joke here and there is fine, I might even tolerate it if it were relevant. But some of the stuff I hear is just crazy. If I kill someone I get called a (insert N word here), sometimes with a not so flattering adjective in front of that.

My #5 was partially being sarcastic, Cranked, congrats on missing that... but Doa speaks the truth!

Sorry I cant read sarcasm in a list of 5 things. And, no I dont watch Fox. I dont watch any of it because its all bullshit. All they show is either stuff that isnt really "newsworthy" or slanted news coverage. Its unfortunate really. People blame the government and lots of other things for the worlds problems, but if you stop and look at it, the media is responsible for so much of whats wrong with society.

All the other shit listed is directly related to those five things. This list is so pointless though since it doesn't actually DO anything. Just fills the forums up with more crap. But whatever, in the end it doesn't matter.

Well at least the 'crap' is posted in the right place, as this is most assuredly off topic. And talking about a thing is always the first step to doing something about a thing, no matter how pointless it might seem at the time.

I would like to say a nice big fuck you to each and every one of those 5 things you listed.

Vanity = Pretty people, proud people, people who feel and work as well as there self image portrays them to be. Confident people as a result.

Alcohols and Drugs = So so so so many good things have come about as a result of them.

Cowardice saves more lives than mindless aggression does, and it is nothing to be ashamed of in most circumstances. Not everyone is the 'Dynamic Attaboy' that the media portrays and the general public admire.

Broken families, as most of my friends will tell you, can function well. Just like any other family. Wether you put them there because you pity them or your momma and dadda just divorced is beyond me, but I disagree.

1. Do you know who was vain? George W. Bush. Do you know who else was vain? Adolf Hitler. Do you know who else? Every despotic, ruinous ruler throughout the entirety of history. They found their religion and clung to it, shutting out all opposing voices of reason. Vanity creates barriers.

2. Have you ever known someone who was addicted to a substance? Have you ever seen a brilliant mind ruined by alcohol or cocaine? Have you not noticed all the violence and abuse spawned from these things? You, my friend, live in a fantasy world.

3. Conscientious objection =/= cowardice. Cowardice is the unwillingness to act when necessary, in war or otherwise. It is the man who remains alone his entire life for fear of rejection. Its the force that compells people to suicide. It is the battered woman too afraid to leave her abusive spouse.

4. Your concept of a broken family is shit. There are plenty of divorced families that are not broken. How the fuck would you know about a broken family if you don't have one? It actually makes me angry that you would even imply that the world would not be a better place without broken families. Just another clueless sheltered shut in on the internet.
