Probably worship. It amazes me that some of the most 'faithful' people in the world have such a low opinion of God that they think He needs you to spend time in a building(or in a closet within that building) and and tell Him what you think of Him and ask for His help. He knows what you want. He knows what you're sorry for and what you're not. Most importantly, time spend bowing and scraping and groveling before Him once a week certainly isn't going to make up for the other six days of being a total prick.

If people took those few hours a week(and the money spent on special clothing) and actually used it to help the less fortunate, I bet the world would be a much nicer place.

I think an honorable mention goes to television. A couple hours a week is one thing, but It's depressing hom many people's lives are so bereft of interest that they'd rather watch other people's stories than live their own.

Yes, since they already can it would be rather pointless.

The Apollo program. They didn't do anything useful on the moon like start a tourist resort, mining outpost or anything. They went all the way there just to plant a flag and take pictures.

On a more personal level, watching TV, it's not even fun, I only do it when I need an excuse to do nothing.

I think watching Golf on TV is a waste of time, although actually playing it is far more entertaining.

on a different note;
Lasanga can cure all problems with the world, therefore Lasanga is the root of evil because it has not cured all the problems with the world.
as you can probably tell i'm quite hungry now, hmmmm what food to eat?

I wonder what is the biggest waste of time in the world? I have a few idea, but I wonder if the wise folks of NSG can suggest more boring (and humourous - no, that isn't an oxymoron ;) ) things to do.

My first suggestion is trying to get the UN to do anything. Anyone else have something more wasteful than that?

More like "teaching people about what the U.N. actually does instead of having them just listen to random U.S. propaganda."

Teaching the French how to fight and win at war. :p
No, wait, I take that back. I used to think that we could change Wilgrove, since he started out as an uber-conservative Christian on here, but he gravitated in the wrong direction, and unfortunately hasn't lost most of the misinformed beliefs and hatreds/whatever word is more appropriate. I'm to the point where I'm about to just give up and say he can't be taught.

Of course I'd never actually do that, but the temptation has been increasingly strong as of late.

Eating is the biggest waste of time, especially in America where almost everyone has a weight problem and an alarming number of us are mobidly obese. They need powered wheelchairs to get around, if they can even get out of bed at all. And all it would take to cure this problem is to STOP EATING! You can't starve if you're fat.
An extension to this waste of time is the end result, eliminating waste. There are statistics on how much time people spend on the toilet during their lifetime and looking it up would be a waste of time.
Sleeping costs us over half our time, if people didn't have to sleep, we would have that much more time for productivity, even if you changed your sleep schedule from every night to every other night, you gain the equivalent of a whole day.
Which is why humans will never defeat the Cylons. :gundge:

sports revolving around moving a ball to one end of the field

Hey, i can grab a ball and sprint my ass off to get to the other end and touch in to the ground when i get there

But nobody will pay me a million dollars to do it, why pay athletes - I can run faster than them and avoid getting into crime-based public scandals, why are they so special?

Right, because my own mundane life story is so much more entertaining than Mulder and Scully finding the truth about aliens or Captain Picard fighting the Borg.

If you ask me, the worst thing about TV is that it's impossible (or at least improbable) to watch every show worth watching. Same with books, same with video games, same with movies, same with plays, same with music.

So, how is life without a sense of humor? I would've killed myself by now.

If it isn't, then you're doing it wrong. Try walking around a shopping mall or local park with a jockstrap on your head. It's good for you. *nod*

I disagree. However, this did make me think of God in Monty Python in the Holy Grail. I won't quote him because it annoys me when people quote Monty Python, but rest assured, it was very funny.

On a scale of one to ten, I'd say Youtube is aleph-null. But that is not the limit: an even bigger waste of time is watching yourself watch Youtube... on Youtube. This would be aleph-one. Aleph-two would be watching yourself watch yourself watch Youtube, etc.
