Honestly.. I preferred the NO! image.

I stand by what I said. I will continue to do so until I stop seeing people responding for any request for help with "look it up on google" knowing full well that any meta engine is superior to google. And the notion of suggesting people to look up information from the internet as being a reliable source for ANYTHING is actually worse than telling someone "just guess" because guessing would have a slightly higher probability of being accurate.
Personally,



The internet is not accurate? Thats only partially true and even then it totally depends on the site. I am still very confused.

Besides, Google is the most famous for a search Engine. If you don't like it, fine. Then use Bing! or Yahoo. Search engines aren't perfect, if they were then I wouldn't find Argonian porn on the first page when I image search "Argonian" under MODEST safe search

BTW: I must say that I do agree WITH YOU that people need to stop hating on religion or calling me an idiot because I am Catholic.

The ability to punch people over TCP/IP.

Alternatively, remove religion in general. Not saying any religion is wrong or right or anything like that, but think of how many wars and how much hatred on this planet have been and is caused by just religion.
Another way to go about it would be to remove any hardcore religious person from this planet. That is, those that hate because of their religion instead of accepting people as they are but still believing.
This would solve a lot of the problems in this society and race as a whole, while at the same time removing enough people from this planet to free up resources. This planet should not have more than 4 billion people living on it at any specific time as it is.

Its the only way to eliminate stupidity, because the number of stupid people is approaching critical mass with this new generation.
Nah, stupidity is pretty consistent. It's just that stupid people tend to be a lot more vocal and modern mass media allow them to very, very loud.

Though I will admit removing the human factor from the world would solve pretty all problems.

I'd make it so any computers would give strong electric shocks to any users who engage in any acts of trolling and/or G.I.F.T.

I would make all water drinkable.

Now no one in the world can go thirsty... Although we'd probably end up using it faster.

Anyone who still lives with their parents is not allowed to post on the internet.

Old games and consoles never stopped being manufactured. This would likely kill every independent retailer you may or may not use but the trade-off would be NES, Odyssey, Atari 2600 etc being sold as bundles for less than a pizza (I would assume).

ok not on a genocidal slant. eliminate google, because too many people rely on it as the source of their information, and demand others learn from it, as opposed to actually learning something.
I don't get it... google doesn't give information, it links you to other sites where the information is kept...!

Google news for instance is just a collaberation of all the news stories from all the news sites online, and is the best way to track an event happening outside of Twitter!

Yaaa,. getting this many quotes means I won the thread, right? /eyeroll

So instead of responding to any one person, Im just writing a general response to be done with it.

I did not suggest that the INTERNET is not to be consulted... I said eliminate GOOGLE, because people ignorantly view Google as something special, unique or even good. Plus search engine results can be found to literally point to ANY conclusion that can exist. So inherently you can point someone to google, they follow your advice and end up coming across a racist, hate filled opinion on the subject that if they took your advice to heart would have perpetuated that as fact in that persons mind.

As was said.. its all dependent on the site one looks at. The internet is fine for finding information, but remember that you can find an equal number of educated people, scientific research papers and other web sources to tell you homosexuality is wrong, as you can telling you its right. The same is essentially true for damn near any topic you can think of.

Plus, Google has no claim over brand recognition over the internet. People need to simply stop perpetuating that. Yes there are other search engines out there, but who only looks at only one? Its called a meta engine. Dogpile, metacrawler, Brainboost, ChunkIt! DeeperWeb Excite, WebCrawler etc. Is it really all that hard or impractical to say "look it up" instead of "google it" instead of trying to turn google into the bandaid of the internet. Fuck most of Googles properties are shit (outside of the ones they bought like youtube, but google has been working to fix that one)

Look, Im not saying the internet is bad for information exchange. The internet is a tool. No different from a gun. You have some people who use it responsibly, and you have other people who get drunk and shoot it off for fun and end up either injuring themselves or others in the process. The biggest form of injury is that we have people now who have no desire to "learn" anything because they can simply look it up online and as I look around Im still at a loss to see a compelling reason how we are any better for that.

Or yanno, people could go hungry from all the various salt water fish that are used as food stocks dying from what would be poison to them like Tuna, swordfish, halibut, etc.

If I could wipe out humanity from the face of earth that would make for a pleasant change ^^ Also I'd like it if earth was closer to another populated planet... so one of these two.

Or they go eat Freshwater Fish. It's not like they won't start taking over all the waters since there is a lack of Salt Water and no Salt Water Fish anymore. Also, I meant from the beginning of time, not instantly. So Evolution would work as if there were Freshwater Tuna, Freshwater Swordfish, and Freshwater Halibuts.

Also I've heard that you don't necessarily need Food as long as you get Water.

Ok, fair enough with the prehistory point of origin. But then the question becomes what species would have evolved at all without the positives that the salty oceans have that helps regulate the planets temp and atmosphere. Its possible, but then again its also very possible not having a source of salt water could have dire consequences on the planet like destabilizing the atmosphere and leaving the planet completely uninhabitable. As for no food... never heard that one. Not going to refute it but seriously doubt it, but if were going with a prehistory premise, it is entirely possible we could have evolved a way of subsistence without it
