Dude, humanity totally does not count, to be univented it had of of been invented in the first place (made my humans). Humanity was not made by humans, nothing made humanity (well some site God but thats just their opinion), therefore it cannot be uninvented.

And if I can ban human tendencies as well, lets ban self-centeredness, and hierarchical nature.


Ah hierarchy... Well, I'm never going to believe someone is better then me, but if they insist in a pecking order, I guess I'll be a pal and consider them inferior.

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.

And I detest the leaders and followers way of working anyway. I don't want to follow, and I don't care to lead. Lets just divide tasks but be equal anyway.

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.

money that is not backed by valued goods, I.e. Gold or Silver. The system that we used to operate on back way back when. UK currency is still known as "Pounds" or "Sterling" this used to refer to the weight in silver, It also still has printed on it "I promise to pay the bearer" before the amount.

Good proof tah copper conducts electricity and that lightning is electricity.... worthless as a proof of a god.

Better would be to have a believer do everything except shout "God(s) is/are real." (Whichever is appropriate to his/her belief.) After that one gets fried, we can send up another and another and ...

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.

I'm afraid you just had your man card revoked for the following

Violation of man code section 12 subsection 45 paragraph 8

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).

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.

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.

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.
