    I would get rid of marriage for life, should be a contract for say 5 years and after that you would be out of contract and free for a month or go back to partner after a month if you wish. Everyone would look after themselves better, stay in better shape and more action in the bedroom,personally I think the day a man gets married and gives up the chase he dies a little.I would get rid of 40 hour working weeks, 20 hour weeks sound about right and should be no unemployment if work was shared out more. What would you keep and get rid of.

    It's a tough question but if I had to pick I'd keep the flute that Captain Jean Luc Picard played in Star Trek : The Next Generation.

    Get rid: about half the human population. Not by a general cull but by implementing progressive population controls over many years.

    Keep: the earth for a bit longer.

    Sounds like somebody is pissed with the missus. Was the Xmas present really that bad??

    You should drop better hints next year.

    social media for the chaos it causes, china & india due to having far too many people.
    I would re instate borders and let countries grow their own food and stop this crazy truckers driving thousands of miles with raspberries in December.
    I would encourage people to be nice and award a points system for this.

    Anyone being cruel to animals shot by firing squad without a trial i would volunteer to do this one my self.
    The marriage thing yep hes right we all get sick of marriage after the first 2 / 5 years

    Agree with a good few of your points.
    Social media has a lot of down sides.
    Our food carbon footprint is huge, and i would like to see people become more sustainable when it comes to food.
    Ye then marriage thing, doesnt make much sence to me.
    Im almost 30 and with the gf 3 years and she would like to get martied sometime, but i just cant see the point/ advantage of it.

    If you can leave the childhood ones behind why would you take the rest of them with you?

    there is no point to marriage anymore as mobile phones & tindr etc are there to de value it. Duplicity is way more easy these days plus no offense to the ladies, seeing a married man is not a scandal any more it was in my day and you were a pariah but today its like a notch on the belt sad but true. Also women are very overt and seedily dressed lots on show so why wouldn't a man have his cake & eat it lots of it!!!

    Keep 16th - 19th century architecture.
    Get rid of paedophilia

    Social media. I'd love to live in a 2020 version of the internet world we knew circa 2005.

    No facebook, no instragram, no obsession with recording every facet of our lives.

    90% of college courses

    I would get rid of boxing or any sport that involves hitting someone especially on the head. Just stupid and dangerous. The brain was not made for that. I would get rid of horse racing. Its cruel and impossible to keep up with the amount of horse names anyway. I honestly do not know how someone follows a horse or a trainer. Get rid of bull teasing like over in Spain and also anything that wastes food like that big tomato throwing thing they have in Spain. All prostitution would be got rid of too. Monogamy get rid of it.why should a man not have 3 or 4 wifes or gfs and the same with a women have as many partners as you want or can afford. I would get rid of the social construct that some clothes are mens and some are women's and if you went to buy clothes anywhere it would just be that clothes. Buy what you want and wear want you feel good in or happy in.
