3 things you would remove from the world

poa

Which 3 things would you remove from the world and why?
For me it would be; alcohol, television, religion.
Reason being, I think the world would be a better place to live in without them.
I stop believing in God and religion when I was 16, despite the best efforts to indoctrinate me by my school, parents, mass. 23 years later I have no regrets living a life with no religion.
I gave up watching TV in 2000, and get my films from Putlocker.is. The internet is all I need, I don't miss being dumbed down by the states propaganda channel that is RTE.
Alcohol is one I just can't give up totally, although I would prefer to. I went on a heavy session on my birthday last year then had a year off it until my birthday this year. But as culturally most social events in Ireland involve drink; its hard to avoid. I found drinking lemonade until 2.00am on night out boring to be honest. I still would like to live in a world without it though.

Others call it "Pravda" - implying it sympathises with socialists, I've also seen it referred to as pushing a liberal agenda. If a person is a moderate in the centre they'll just see a broadcaster.

I'm not getting any connection because Nicky Byrne is a well known personality in his own right having been a member of a massively successful boyband, Miriam O'Callaghan is a trained journalist who worked for the BBC before RTE. I will concede on Tubridy's FF shilling but does this mean RTE overall is pro FF? He's just one person. And what do RTE broadcast that is pro FF? I've seen them present news stories where Enda is shown in a good light and FF in a negative light. They're a bunch of individual journalists.

Are you a Kerryman by any chance?
I have heard one has to explain things more slowly to them.
Maybe I should get my 6 year old nephew to post as he seems to get the RTE/Catholic Church/Fianna Fail connection OK?

I have thought of another 3.
Selfies
Facebook
Smartphones

Fianna Fail and RTE, 2 cheeks of the same arse. Ryan Tubridy for example, his family are Fianna Fail. Nicky Byrne on 2FM, his wife is Bertie's daughter. Miriam O'Callaghan's brother Jim is Fianna Fail.
Are you getting the connection yet?
Fianna Fail have RTE in their pockets, when it comes to political propaganda; they are very pro Fianna Fail. Jobs for the boys if you sing from the same hymn sheet; the Fianna Fail one.
Haughey/Gay Byrne/Catholic Church/RTE, one family.

Yes! Skinny jeans are a good one.
I would have these 3:
Hipsters
Beards
Skinny jeans
Offenders with all 3 should be deported or sterilised so they cannot breed more of their kind.

I always find there is never actually a concrete answer given to the question asked "How is RTE a propaganda channel".

Whereas I see a station that brings people of all views onto the panel for current affairs shows, and its news programmes just report the news.

Why do some people say RTE is a propaganda channel?

The BBC is the British government's propaganda channel. Its used to manipulate the electorate into believing what the government wants them to think.
RTE is the Irish government's. This is nothing new, its the same the world over, governments use TV to brainwash the people.
RTE, Haughey, Gay Byrne, Fianna Fail, Catholic Church, etc. You get the idea.

Those three goals the Belgians scored

I bet 100 on Belgium to win at odds of 1.85 pre-match. A nice clean 85 Euro net profit. That's my free night out sorted.
