Worst invention in man's history (and why)

@Guerrilla:

And even though I don’t think your post exactly suggests genocide, it does alienate a class of people for said action; And I would think that you will find those same people on this board, so I would watch what you say…

Well, I hope that most posters would know that it was tongue-in-cheek.  You know, the thing about munching bread and TV and all that.

Anyways, any time you express an opinion, you risk offending some people.  Perhaps you would disagree with that statement?

re:  Mechanized Warfare:  As a rabid hobo, I am horribly offended by your spork comment.

A hobo with a PC and teh internets? :-o  Im doubting if you are really a hobo.  If you however are, then I still stand by my statement.  It is scientifically proven that sporks are the best way to bring a hobo to a speedy demise.  Much like the classic shotgun to kill a zombie or the silver bullet/knife/etc. to kill a werewolf.

If you feel my reaction was unnecessary, then I apologize… I don’t disagree that you do risk offending someone, the comment was in relationship to a group of people being able to reproduce, IMO a little stronger then just tongue and cheek statement of steryotype or the likes… As I stated I didn’t feel it directly was against any rules, so the post wasn’t necessarily as a mod; that is what I meant it to be… If it was taken as coming from a mod, I apologize it wasn’t…

I understood your post, GG.  Considering I’m one of the guilty in regard’s to New’s post, I still found it humorous that the extension of his point were that using a condom is wise, so the wise aren’t procreating.

But there are quite a few other reasons to wear one, unrelated to pregnancy.

Thw worst invention? Capitalism, hands down! To allow a man or woman to live in nearly unimaginably luxery without doing anything to benifit society (stock brokers, donald trump etc) is horrible!

[Guerrilla Guy]

wow… Well, on the other hand, giving a government complete control over an economy and trusting that those that hold those offices will not get corrupt, is equally “worse”…

To Jermofoot: This is known, it has benefitted some in certain ways… So are we the true “worse”? Are exsistence? Or only those whose parents didn’t plan it… BTW, while on the subject, cute kid :wink:

Here is one for y’all

Worst invention…

CIVILIZATION (the real thing, not the game :-P )

[Adonai]

Civilization doesn’t entail corruption and explotation - capitalism does. Capitalism is born from private property, therefore Civilization is good until it creates private property.

GG, a command economy and ‘Soviet Communism’ is not the only system other than capitalism. True Socialism - that’s what is needed.

Oh, in case all of you haven’t figured it out; I’m a Democratic Socialist. I believe in Marxist principles without the need for a revoltuion cue angry response from Republicans  :-)

[Guerrilla Guy]

OK, thanks for clarifying… I will keep debate out of it… Civilizations though have advanced us to where we are, an act of banding humans, under one purpose is the only reason we see jets flying over our houses, microwaves in our kitchens, and cars in the Garage… So I really don’t think that would apply…

[Adonai]

I should start up a different thread to talk about socialism - I’d be interested to hear the response  :-). While civilization has admitedly unified us and enabled us to make such great progress, it has sown the seeds of dis-unity. Class struggle pervades our life, and has since ‘civilization’ and provate property were conceived.

[Guerrilla Guy]

I think you mean “private” property… am I correct?

I’m actually amazed no one has said the computer.

[Guerrilla Guy]

May I ask why you have a problem with it? :-D

Granted it is addictive and now is starting to outpace the TV, but how would we view beloved website?

Need I expound further?  Okay, how about creating an atmosphere that encourages children to let their muscles atrophy as their bellies expand beyond comprehension?

[Guest]

What muscle atrophy?

The guys get great arm muscles :-P

[Yahoshua]

What? Having a really STRONG right arm is a good thing when your left is a toothpick?
