Here is one for y’all
Worst invention…
CIVILIZATION (the real thing, not the game :-P )
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 :-)
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…
GG
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.
I think you mean “private” property… am I correct?
I’m actually amazed no one has said the computer.
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?
GG
Free porn, free gaming, free written messages, free video phone…
What is not to like? :-D

What the hell are you talking about!! The computer has brought us many useful things. Like porn and……and…and…well I dont really know what else, but thats good enough!!! Chuck Norris would agree. :wink:
Also computers gave us World of Warcraft. (actually I hate that game)
nvm…just porn.

Need I expound further? Okay, how about creating an atmosphere that encourages children to let their muscles atrophy as their bellies expand beyond comprehension?
What muscle atrophy?
The guys get great arm muscles :-P
What? Having a really STRONG right arm is a good thing when your left is a toothpick?

It doesnt matter if you become a professional arm wrestler!!! :-D
You only use one hand? :mrgreen:

Im assuming you are a switch hitter? :lol:

computer is definetly not the worst invention. i dont know if you are being serious with this or not, but the innumerable technologies we have been able to develop because of the computer make it one of (if not THE) best invention.
the problem you have listed is barely even an issue. and if you really think it is: be a parent, and limit your child’s computer time.
I dont think I seen any of you idiots say guns are the worst invention. As for why guns are,thats apparent enough. Now…I will wait for Jennifer to chime in and say some dumb thing about guns and how they were beneficial to us and the world and blah,blah,blah…
If tyou think Guns are, you have never seen a Bow Specialist :-)
I know that only in hindsight does an invention show its benefits or faults,but it has to be guns–from handguns to the largest artillery pieces…The destruction they have caused is literally incalculable and dwarfs any benefit they have given humans. I bet for every animal shot for food with a gun,there have been five times as many people destroyed by guns during wars and in the commission of crimes. Atomic weapons are pretty bad too,but we have only used them twice,so I guess we will have to wait until after a few dozen cities are eradicated before we can say they are the worst invention. All we have to do is just wait.
The second worst invention is religion
