What would you remove?



I think I'd go for money. But its an abstract idea.

Marmite

or Aprilias

I would remove Harlesburg.Would make things go allot smoother. lol


That or insects. Posi hates insects.:mad:

I would remove hate. But that's impossible. Too bad. I guess after that, I would go for... Stupidity. Although, that might not work, because the world wouldn't go round without stupid people to do the work that smart people don't want to do and have the intelligence to pay stupid people to do. Or hunger, that might work, if we didn't "have" to eat, but we could eat if we wanted to, because I'd miss eating... I love pizza and stromboli and steak and gummy worms. After that, I guess I would remove nicotine, because I hate smoking. Even though I smoke. :(

The suicide bomber.

Fighting becomes so much more difficult when there's a chance that you won't die.

Gravity. We would have so much more fun without it!

If every mosquito on the planet died tomorrow I wouldnt cry.

Then they would just become suicide gunners; Running at crowds, etc, with ak-47's, spraying madly.

I've actually thought that that would work better than a car bomb; If you miss, you can re-adjust your aim :P

Magnesium. I'm freakin sick of magnesium.

If every mosquito on the planet died tomorrow I wouldnt cry.

Yeah, well, if every human on the planet died tomorrow, I wouldn't cry. But I'm just that much more manly than you :P

LoL, like a frontrow seat to the universe falling apart.

Magnesium? Tht stuff is funky when you burn it:)

Shuddupa with your science j00 n3wb.

Lets have people guess.:)

Starts with an A....end with an S [its plural]. Its five letters.

Oil. After all, the first cars ran on peanut oil and electric motors...there's no reason they couldn't do so now 109 years later. Cleaner environment, less terrorism, and less spent to secure the stuff from dangerous places.

I'd remove all the humans, and all the objects created by the humans, then the planet could go about it's merry existence.

Yeah, well, if every human on the planet died tomorrow, I wouldn't cry. But I'm just that much more manly than you :P

But you couldnt cry, you'd be dead. It's not manly unless it is a choice.

Yes you would, you emo zombie punk.

What would you remove?

Accurate compact timepieces.

Most of the evils of the world can be traced back to people could carry timepieces in their pocket. Once we had the ability to know what time it was with anything short of a town clock chiming away the hours, we were all truly fucked. :(

But you couldnt cry, you'd be dead. It's not manly unless it is a choice.

Fine, you picky bastard.

Every human but me.

To make up for the loss of me, my pets die too.

Happy? I sure am.

You will cry over fluffy

Excess carbon dioxide.

Only until one of the packs of starving wild dogs whose former owners vanished find him.

I give him a week. :)

Religion.

Yup, and while I'm being eaten alive, I still won't cry.

Sorry, too manly buds.

Religion.
Oooh, you win the thread.

At least as it has developed currently.

Yup, and while I'm being eaten alive, I still won't cry.

*Makes mental note, never trust anyone who uses the term "Manly buds"*

The Middle East.

The Middle East.
Blah.

I'd just do away with Isreal and Iran.

Blah.

I'd just do away with Isreal and Iran.

Eh, then you would have Lebonon and Syria. Like I said just get rid of the entire region.

Sigh, I guess.

If you could remove one thing from Earth...?

I would remove the awesome manliness of Chellis. Average Joes like me can't compete with his amazing hardness.

You sell yourself way too short ;)

I wouldn't remove anything from earh because it would upset the balance.

You'd have to take two things, one negative, one positive.

I would like to publically note that she did not say you rate me too high, an implicit acceptance of my incredible man-parts.

Your incredible man parts, what ever that actually means (please dont elaborate, I've only just had my breakfast) have not been accepted by my good self thus far. Having no first hand experience, I will refrain from refuting nor affirming your claim of greatness.

But then I would not be able to wield All of This(patent pending) effectively... I could hurt somebody!

If I could personally remove one thing from earth it would be Natalie Portman's panties.

hmm, you do have a point

It's good to know the good people of NS are doing a community service by keeping you, and your incredible man parts, off the streets and away from the children.

If I could personally remove one thing from earth it would be Natalie Portman's panties.

Maybe you shoudl remove her inhibitions? ... you'd have better chance of getting near her panties.

Religion.

I thought about putting that, but I reconsidered. Some people need religion. I heard it once said that if the only reason you do not do bad things is that you are afraid your going to hell, your a shitty person anyway. That's very true in it's own right, however, it still keeps people from doing shitty things. It brings to question though, weather the shitty deeds that religion prevents outweighs the shitty deeds that religion incites.

Its true; Children have been known to faint by the simple sight of me.

NSG can handle it, and bask it its glory, however. Just barely, but it can, collectively.

For like the hundredth time... If you want to feel me, you have to pay like everybody else.

Chellis - always scammin for a freebie.

Just one? I have a whole list. Here they are in no particular order:

*ALF/ELF/Earth First (they like to burn things)
*Clinic bombers
*Prohibitionists
*Smoking Prohibitionists
*Gun Prohibitionists
*The folks that blame violence on VG/Music/Guns
*The ATF
*Coffee sipping pseudo-intellectuals
*The "BUSH IS A NAZI" types, you really aren't helping your cause
*Idiots
*Idiots who use gun smilies
*Idiots who multi-post
*Idiots who made my life a living hell in school

Maybe I'll have more later.

Canada needs her for when the Americans attack. And trust me they will attack again.

This message had special signifigance for me.

(I accidentally copped a feel on a co-worker today...)

automobiles. combustion powered, rubber tyred, running on paved roads automobiles, and the roads they drive on and the gas stations they refill at.

also the use of combustion to generate energy, the clear cutting of forrests, and the excessive level of human fertility,

and of course a few other things like the romantacizing and rewarding of aggressiveness and the tyranny of its dominance,

but if you want to say one, tangable, material, thing, i would have to say definately: automobiles.

=^^=
.../\...

of course if it doesn't have to be something tangable then i think the most basic seed of the root of causing the harm that causes suffering then i would say the robbing of calmness.

for anyone to demand anyone's attention for anything.

yes i can sympathise with the usualy good intentions of it, but ultimately, it appears to me, the real seed of suffering and harm

Retards. And bastards. I know that's two but you can't justify one without the other.

Water. *poof* Muahahahaha!

[Why? Because I'm really thirsty right now and that'd be the worst thing to happen, ever! I likes me H2O!]

What would you remove?



I think I'd go for money. But its an abstract idea.

I know I can only pick one but have made a list to choose from later:

George Bush
Disease (though then human immune systems would be weakened)
Bovrill (try being fed it when fasting from solid food yuck)
Tourists from Kilarney, Kerry Ireland-nice scencery but its tourism spoils it
rats
evil
all child molesters

What would you remove?

I don't know what to call it, but I would remove the polarized view of men and women. Call it "traditional gender roles" or "mainstream gender stereotyping," or whatever else you like, but I would love nothing more than to see a world in which nobody EVER blathers about how "women are A and men are B."

Intolerance, chauvinism, racism, and stupidity - technically, that's 4 things, but since they usually occur together I'd say we can make an exception.

After all, we would be spared posts like these:

people who think that killing people is the best way to resolve conflicts.
There are enough problems in the world, like disease, starvation,fatal accidents, without people killing each other/blowing each other up.
I dont see how any country can consider itself civilised when it resorts to blowing things and people up to reslove conflicts.

I thought, at first, that I should say Osama Bin Laden, but they'd just replace him with someone worse.

So, remove SUVs, especially Hummers. They're big, gas guzzling behemoths. Most of the people who have them are unable to handle them with anything approaching competence. I mean, unless you're off-roading, why have one?

Calgary....

Either war, politics, or porn.

No no, its not that...its just your economic views.:p

sexual attraction...
interesting i was sure that would get a reaction!:(

i didnt mean it!

No no, its not that...its just your economic views.:p

Eliminating scarcity corresponds rather well with my economic views. The second thoughts, admittedly, do not; I was thinking of two possibilities, mainly, the first being that scarcity would be eliminated in a manner that would have catastrophic consequences - through, say, mass environmental destruction - and the second that unlimited abundance might have poor results for human beings, which is a distinctly un-Soheranlike thought that I shouldn't be harboring.

I agree. Other than religion, money is the cause of so many wars. :(

I hate that the US hasn't abolished it yet. We are the richest country in the world; the US government could easily make sure we have everything we need.

In order to even have a hope for this better world, please support Jon Tester in Montana.

I would vote for Jon Tester just because of his haircut.

The First Law of Thermodynamics.

It's going to kill us all if something isn't done about it.

Well, let me put it into lay terms. The Universe is constantly expanding at an ever-increasing rate. Because of the First Law of Thermodynamics, while the volume of the universe is increasing, the amount of energy is remaining the same, (energy is neither created nor destroyed) thus reducing the energy density to the point where our descendants will literally not have the energy to live.

This might sound like some anti-thermodynamic Chicken Little alarmism, but we don't protect the environment for ourselves, we do it for our descendants. Just as we protect the earth, the universe is the only one we have, and we won't be able to just pack up and leave once it's gone, like we might from Earth in the next 50 or so years.

The two are inherently linked.

Good point. :p

I think I'd go for money. But its an abstract idea.
I'd have to disagree, without money, we could not run as efficient of a market. The world population would halve in weeks. Besides, money is just a vehicle for all of the things you despise about it, namely power. Power would continue to exist without money, just it would occur in a less transferable, non-liquid form, such as land. Without money, power structures would become more rigid, and distribution of wealth would freeze. While money can be hard for poor people to come by, non-liquid power would be near impossible. We would be thrown back into the dark ages.

I agree. Other than religion, money is the cause of so many wars.
*snip*
Money doesn't cause any wars. Power does. money is just the form it takes. Should you abolish money, power would just precipitate in another form. Then there would be wars over that form (think land in the middle ages). The good thing about money in comparison to previous mediums of power is that it is much more accessible to the common people. As such, we have seen the widespread increase in benevolent power structures which are at the mercy of the money-power of it's subjects. I can't think of a substitute which offers so much hope for a better life for everyone.

Personally I would say I would like to have all kinds of faith (in the religion sense of the word) removed. When it is beautiful, it is beautiful, but when it is bad, it is despicable. Too often it is used to manipulate otherwise reasonable people into holding unreasonable positions. further, I am confident that if residual faith were cleansed from the world (at least the first world) then it would most likely stay away (for the most part). Seeing the renaissance happened like 300 years ago, and we have science to answer most of our questions, without communal/peer/familial pressure I don't think many people would actually opt for religion. At the very least, I imagine that organised religion would die out, and spiritualism may replace it.

What would you remove?

Suffering. If thats not possible. Humans.

Gravity. Because it's overrated

Nuclear weaponry, and the technology to make it.

Pants.

Emos. Failing that I would remove the universe! (sure way to get rid of them)
