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.

1. Blaming religion for things

3. Divisions of Race, class and ethnicity , and religion

so if religion didn't exist, it would not be used as something to divide people.
religion, and religious belief causes division, therefore it is the fault of religion that has created the divide.

I blame religion.

Wasps wasps and wasps.

God I hate wasps.

I know they pollinate etc but still wasps you are an scourge on humanity.

The vast majority of wasps are not pollinators.

The ones in ireland definitely aren't.

Their bodies are too slick and hairless to transfer pollen.

They are predatory insects and aren't looking for nectar.

They are nasty Feckers all the same.

I'd remove the following from the world.

All indoctrinated religious belief systems

Tobacco

High fructose corn syrup

1. Blaming religion for things

This really bugs me. Religion isn't the problem, idiots are the problem...put an idiot behind the wheel of a car he'll kill a person...its probably more likely he'll blame the car too

No different...if religion was an issue...every single person who follows it would be doing said idiotic things...which returns me to my original point

Blame Idiots, not religion

Oh and FWIW (I remain neutral in that religion vs non religion debate, I have no side)

2.Alcohol and all mood altering drugs

Just to see what people do when they cant take a substance to make socialising easier, make problems pretend to disappear or gain newfound , temporary personality traits

3. Divisions of Race, class and ethnicity , and religion

Before any of these things, we are all people....Too many seem to forget that

NegativeCreep

Minimum experience levels for entry level jobs - I'm fresh out of college so obviously I don't have three years experience!

Wasps because they're evil and they bring nothing to the world whatsoever. Their primary function is to ruin my day.

Remove car insurance and pay it as a levy on petrol/diesel purchases.

Not all propaganda is done North Korea style. Sometimes it can be very subtle.

A classic example of this was on RTE news .... The police have been paid 1.2 million in over time for the shell to sea.

It was to turn public opinion against the protesters

On a tangent now .... But see any she'll signs anymore ? All rebranded

Not all propaganda is state-funded. And just because something is state-funded, doesn't mean that there's an evil agenda (although doesn't mean there's not either, to some level).

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.
Every cloud has a silver lining.

Gambling should definitely be removed. I can't believe you'd indulge in such a practice!

(At the start of the tournament, I bet on Portugal at 16/1.

Kneejerk types- e.g. people who can't differentiate between someone having involuntary paedophilic thoughts but never acting on them... versus people who actually do act on such thoughts and abuse children (well they can differentiate, they just prefer being outraged). Another example is the mob screaming "Imprison the bitch!" about the abuse survivor who came forward to the Garda recently re the Philip Cairns disappearance.

1. One-off housing. If you want high-speed broadband then move to a town or city. Otherwise pay the price for building your 2-story montrosity in rural Ballygobackwards, and stop putting a strain on government spending on providing services.

2. Religion. I don't need a man in a funny hat telling me how we will all die if we don't give our money to the Flying Spagetti Monster.

3. Curry potatoes. Curry chips are great. Curry potatoes seem like an afterthought of somebody who had one too many last night.
