FIve things that you believe never should have been invented.

[tobi the good boy]

1. Reality tv
2. Romance novels, in general. You can have romance in a novel dont make it the fucking entire plot
3. Every deathnote episode after L's death
4. any form of music that involves the lack of actual talent
5. Forum Trolls

 

[0p3rati0n]

1. Reality T.V.- Must I say why?
2. Commercials- They waste time and 99% of them aren't funny
3. Microsoft-............
4. Pop music- Most annoying shit ever!
5. Twilight- The Hunger Games deserves its spot I SWEAR!

I have 2 things that should never have been invented.

1) Religion : The Catholic church suppressed science achievements for centuries. Even in the modern world it is doing the same. Genetic research is being stifled because it is not Gods way(what the hell, is its Gods way to kill people thru a genetic disorder. )

Never mind the medical breakthru argument, breed and breed more in countires that cannot support it. Never mind the lethal STD called AIDS, do not use contraception.

A religion which made priests celibate due to the cost in the 14th to 16th century of supporting their families has something to answer to.

 

[DustyDrB]

1. The Nuke
2. Soda
3. The Cigarette
4. French Fries/Potato Chips
5. The Diamond Ring

 

[Tdc2182]

1. Porn.

B... but... but... but...

2. Call of Duty 4.

But... but....

Oh wait I got it.

You thought this was things you were glad that they were invented.

Pheww.

 

[FalloutJack]

So many good entries...and so many people doing more than five. Okay, here's some more from me.

{1} Trolls!

{2} Pigeons.

{3} Goddamn stink bugs!

{4} Fanboys.

{5} Warts.

{6} Console/PC/What-Have-You Wars.

{7} The Bee Gees.

{8} Project Star Wars. (For clarification, this is a project for orbital weapons platforms in space that so much money had been sunk into over the course of several presidents and is a waste of time and resources.)

 

[bobmd13]

The second point is Nuclear Weapons.

Remember MAD (Mutually Assured Destruction). Robert Oppenheimer opposed the use of nuclear weapons and was removed from the Manhatten project.

We have spent a fortune on weapons which no one would ever use (due to the fact they have a chance of igniting the atmosphere).

Yes a madman or a country treated like dirt may use them, but not on the scale that exixts now.

 

[Icarion (aka Stockholm)]

Recently, some trends and new inventions have been bothering me. So I thought I'd list them off, and then see what's biting you all as well. Any gadget, doohickey, or thingamajig created by the hands of man is valid.

My list is as such:

2. Vuvuzelas. Seriously. If I wanted to hear shit like that I'd stick my head in a beehive.

In defense of Vuvzelas just hearing one is pretty awesome. We have those two crazy sports fans that come to every soccer game and one of them brings one and its freakin awesome. But a million is annoying

1. Rap Music
2. Money
3. H-Bombs
4. Twilight
5. Politics

I think they're pretty self-explanitory...

I don't know, I think money's pretty convenient. Without it, I'd have to send a chicken to Insight every month to pay for my internet connection.

Or promise them my first born...

But what if you didn'y have to pay for the internet. I think thats the point hes trying to make. Listen to Pink Floyds Money. That sums it up.
And for my list
1)People/ "civilized ones" (it has taken us roughly 2000 years to fuck up the earth
2)Consevative views (yes these were invented along with the idea of monarchy)
3)Rulers (the thing you measure with. I can never get the same measure twice )
4)Factories (im not huge on exploiting workers and creating shitloads of pollution
5)Standards (i don't want a face book, i wanna wear the same sweatshirt every day, i don't wanna change my sheets etc.)

 

[Peteron]

1) Teenagers who won't stop whining about their life (All of them but me) (Also tied with Justin Bieber)
2) Pepto Bismol
3) Dr. Pepper
4) Snuggies
5) Twilight
6) Scott Pilgrim
7) The Jonas Brothers
8) People who defend Naruto as if is a religion.

What's wrong with Pepto-Bismal? Does soothing upset stomachs offend your religious beliefs?

OT:

1. Nazi-ism (I think we can all agree that the Nazis were generally bad)
2. Justin Beiber
3. Dane Cook
4. Every Guitar Hero game past 3 2
5. *reserved for Kinect*

It tastes terrible and I have never been able to take it without throwing it up. It looks and tastes disgusting.

 

[DarkNazgul]

1. "Disney pop stars (I'm pretty sure they're genetically modified, so 'invented' applies here)" - subject_87
2. Twilight
3. Facebook*
4. Twitter*
5. Texting*

*And no I'm not a hater of being in contact with people, just a hater of continuously excessively impersonal 'friendships', which rely entirely on reading words, and never actually talking with/and or actually doing things with/ people.

 

[badgersprite]

1. Youtube. Specifically, the comments section. The function of the site itself is fine.
2. Nuclear weapons. Chemical weapons and biological weapons too. Not a funny answer, but there you go.
3. Bling and tacky gold medallions. Seriously, the seventies called, and they want their tacky back.
4. E! Actually, celebrity culture, paparazzi, and Hollywood gossip reporters in general, but E! is the main offender that I can think of.
5. Reality TV. Yes, I know we might lose genuinely good shows by cutting out all reality TV, but it would be worth it to live in a world where the casts of Jersey Shore, Laguna Beach, The Hills, Real Housewives of Wherever, The Real L Word, and anyone else from any other show about vapid, obnoxious jackasses being followed by a camera crew are not famous

 

[philosophicalbastard]

The very act of invention is artificialized evolution. Since I am a disciple of Kamina and Simon of Gurren Lagann, I look upon all inventions as neccessary and good.
Un-inventing things is pretty much the act of de-evolution.

 

[Z(ombie)fan]

% SCOTT PILGRIIIMMM the movie. fuck. that. shit.
$ Square Enix. post-FFVII. because horrible writing cannot be redeem by wonderful, wonderful turn based combat. which they don't even do all that much anymore anyway.
# Ape Ecape. this PS1 classic is by far the WORST, most HORRID game I have ever played.
@ My Immortal. imagine harry potter meets twilight meets 4Chan. Yeah, not to pretty huh?
! reeeeeeee-lih-jee-oan! (religion). sure, modern society would't be what it is today without it, but imagine a UTOPIA: now, if you imagined RELIGION appearing ANYWHERE in that "Utopia" of yours, JUMP OFF A CLIFF.

 

[Luftwaffles]

1.4chan.
No 4chan=No more Ruined Childhoods.
2.Reality T.V.
Wastes so many people's time...
3.Nukes.
Although there is a positive to that.

Countering the submission of wars, sure it may have done more damage than good but without them, a lot of the things we have today we wouldn't have. <Makes sense?

I see it more as a catalyst. War is a catalyst of sorts for advances in technology. There is no greater motivation than the fear of losing.

 

[ENKC]

The Snuggie, for one, as it's just a fuckin' backwards robe.

Actually, I've tried one, and they're pretty freakin' sweet. But I've never had a problem with not being able to use my arms when just chilling in a bigass comforter, so they aren't really worth the money. But if someone gave me one for free, I'd wear it.

I, personally, have yet to see a purpose for the snuggie considering that jumpers and fleece pants have hitherto been invented.

 

[mParadox]

4chan- specifically /b/
Twilight
Fan-boyism(Halo started it, now it's never going to end)
Call of Duty MP- specifically MP. The only other fanboyism which is at times more formidable than Halo.
Nukes

 

[Baralak]

I have 2 things that should never have been invented.

1) Religion : The Catholic church suppressed science achievements for centuries. Even in the modern world it is doing the same. Genetic research is being stifled because it is not Gods way(what the hell, is its Gods way to kill people thru a genetic disorder. )

Dude, Christianity does not equal All religion. Specify, dude. Don't just group in religions such as Shintoism, Wicca, Buddhism, Judaism(sp?) or any other religion with the one you don't like. Also, I agree with the dude who wants people to explain their hate of religion. If it weren't for mine, I wouldn't be who I am today, and I see myself as a much better person than I was.

Now then, in no particular order:

1: Twilight. Bad stories, ruined monsters, and bad morals for kids? Please go away.
2: Nuclear warfare: Destruction of this magnitude should never be attainable by man.
3: Reality TV. Seriously, you're boring, uninteresting, and overall just trash trying to be "real", only you're totally scripted, badly acted, and just horrible.
4: Saw. I just really, REALLY hate those movies.
5: The sellout hip-hop culture. Yeah, you know the type. The cheap, crappy, mainstream stuff that lost all substance or meaning a long time ago, and the people who act "gangsta". Get back some substance. Or just learn from the underground. *plays a little Dub FX*

It tastes terrible and I have never been able to take it without throwing it up. It looks and tastes disgusting.

But it's not supposed to taste good, it's supposed to sooth your nausea, heartburn, indigestion, upset stomach, or diarrhea (Hey!).

I guess I just don't see your logic. Pepto Bismal has gotten me through a lot of rough patches of my life.
