Sure, someone may be better AT things then I am. Do things more useful to people. But I never said I couldn't respect someone. I just don't feel anyone is fundamentally worth more then me.

you understand that because of trophic efficiency they're actually helping their own species? a cow, quite frankly, shits. thus the biomass it takes to produce one steak could feed a human for like 20 times that ammount at least if instead of farming cow food we had used the same minerals, and more importantly, fresh water, to farm food for people. also, where I live there are some huge chicken farms, tyson chicken is one of the largest industries in the state, and the antibiotics that leak into the soil around their factories because they pump their chickens with them are causing immunities among bacteria, which in turn cause incurable diseases in the local populations that COULD have been cured with a simple pill or injection. there are plenty of purely HUMAN reasons to be against factory farming.

That is happening anyway, so what are you doing about it?
Seriously, without paper money, you will not have inflation or growth rates above 5%. With this restriction on loans, compaines cannot develop rapidly and generally, they will find the most economical way of production, reducing the demand on raw materials.
So this would have killed the global warning issue, and third world debt, and as a by product we should have lower taxes.

I would uninvent Sissyism.
Sissyism is defined as such: Being opposed to any of the following; war, guns, nuclear weapons, meat eating, showers, capitalism, high-powered cars, martial law, Darwinism, abortion, killing babies in general, giving people a good smacking when needed, military, alcohol, big corporations.
It is also defined as being in favor of the following; religion, tree-hugging, saving the environment, veganism, making everyone feel special even if they're not, counselling, being a hippy, shitty hippy music, anime.
Religion: Don't need something that kills more people than it saves.
... What would it be?
You.
Or the cotten gin. Damn farm tool caused the American Civil War.

Good lord that would mean perpetual war.
Look at that sophistication of conventional warfare today.
Only the nuclear deterrant has restrained repeated world wars.
We already HAVE perpetual war.
Nuclear weapons only increase fear.

I'm afraid you just had your man card revoked for the following
Violation of man code section 12 subsection 45 paragraph 8
delibrately mis stating the definition of sissyism
religion, darwinism, killing babies, abortion and alchohol have NOTHING whatsoever to do with being a sissy, nor does anime.

The Sens fans really annoy me; why? They are hypocrites! The Sens win, they are celebrating it; the Sens lose, there is barely any mention of the team and it's in the depths of the back end of the sports section.
What if a person likes Boston? (C'mon everyone loved Bobby!)

They can live wherever they so please and still love the good teams!
Nope. If you look at the teams and do the math, about 50-60% of the team is Canadian, which means on average, the players are mostly Canadian, followed by Europeans then Americans. (at least on the Canadian teams).

Then if that is the case, let's just give ALL countries nuclear weapons and that should stop ALL the wars?

changed my mind..okay this might sound odd...but furbies..because one time I was at my moms friend's house and I had to sleep over and there was a furby in the room I had to sleep in so right before I went to bed I saw it and shook it around and stuff to see if it would talk or however those things work..Anyway long story short it wouldnt stop talking for like 2 hours and nothing shut it up so eventually I put it outside. sounds weird, but very horrific and true story.

Thats called an irrelevent conclusion and you should be ashamed for having made it.
Obviously not every third world podunk country would benefit from the nuclear deterrant.
SUPERPOWERS with large, sophisticated destructive conventional arsenals are the ones who are spared massive carnage by the nuclear deterrant.
Why, pray tell, did the soviets not invade europe during the many decades of the cold war?
Were it not for the nuclear deterrant, ww3 would have definitely occured and most likely more world wars thereafter.

I admit that I was being a tad facetious.
SUPERPOWERS with large, sophisticated destructive conventional arsenals are the ones who are spared massive carnage by the nuclear deterrant.
Despite the nuclear deterent, many conventional wars have been fought since WW2 and millions have died. Korean War and Vietnam War to name two.
Why, pray tell, did the soviets not invade europe during the many decades of the cold war?
I would suggest the the USSR was spent by the end of WW2. If you recall, more Soviets died in or as a result of WW2 than any other country. At the end of WW2, the USSR controlled a lot more countries than it did before the war. Why go further, especially since there were millions of troops still in Europe to oppose their further movement. IMHO nuclear deterrence had nothing to do with the Soviets stopping at Germany.

Skateboards. They piss me off people who skate on them are arrongant. One moment your walking down the road. The next they call you and your friend gay lovers. The next they piss their pants cause I grab a BIG stick and walk menacingly at them.
I'd uninvent the sprawling metroplex.
We've got the steel for it, lets replace all cities with giant skyscrapers like Japans Skycity.
No cars, very little fossil fuels. You can get wherever you need to go with an elevator ride and a short walk.
Geographicly tiny cities surrounded by miles and miles of newly pristine wilderness replenishing the worlds biodiversity.
Either that, or I'd uninvent "The Bomb" it hasn't done us a damn bit of good. We did NOT need it to finish of Japan and we never even got to use it against the USSR before they got it too. And it served as the inspiration for a crappy John Travolta movie.
i'd uninvent stupid, self-righteous, selfish people who have to get the rules changed to fit THEIR needs. also, whiney people who complain about stupid stuff that nobody cares about and usually fail to accomplish anything useful. like the ACLU.
also i'm totally with the skateboarding guy. rock on, brother.
