    Radiation wasn't invented it was discovered. Had we not discovered it, we would not have x-rays and smoke alarms, and lots of good stuff.

    If we had not invented weapons we would never have been able to kill animals, and so not be able to eat meat, and probably not have survived the ice age.

    Personally, I wish we could dis-invent VX gas. It is horrible stuff and serves no useful purpose. I also wish Sir Walter Raleigh had chosen something else to put in his pipe to smoke, other than the highly addictive substance that is tobacco.

    No but the last time I did I made a mental note to myself to mention VX in a thread in AH some time. One more thing I can strike off my to do list today. Wa-hey!

    You should've named this thread "If humans could dis-invent 3 things".

    If The World as a while could get rid of 3 things, it'd be happy with just getting rid of people. it really wouldn't need to get rid of anyting else!

    The womens co***m, now that's an odd one.
    It might be good to get rid of tv, mobile phones and computers. I'd like to have been alive years ago to see if it would be better or worse.

    Isn't radiation annoying alright.
    I'd also get rid of chemical reactions, photosynthesis, the doppler effect and DNA - all thoroughly annoying

    the aeroplane - I hate catching colds/flues and all the talk of superbugs which could wipe us out. At least with other forms of travel things take longer to get about and we get a better heads up.

    cigarettes - hate their smell

    the car - if it wasn't for these surely we'd have portable jet packs by now...obviously limited in range to stop the pesky flu bugs coming over from other countries (looks over at China acting all innocent)

    Religion.

    The tolerance of trade with dictators and countries that abuse basic human rights.

    The practice of lobby groups being allowed to financially influence politics.
