Poll: If you could erase any proffesion from society, which one would it be?

[samstewiefisher]

Anything related to sexual aspects occurring between the same gender. Which translates to no gayshit.

Saying things like that make you sound like a bitter closet gay.

 

[SaunaKalja]

Religious occupations, like priests, imams, arch-inquisitors, etc. . It'd save the world a lot of suffering if there weren't people like them telling gullible people what to do, how worthless they are, who to kill and where to give their money.

I'd also like to say politicians since I hate the crooked ones (most of them, maybe?), but I'm not sure anarchy would necessarily be better.

People in marketing are just like politicans, only they are not neccesary for the normal functioning of society. You can guess what i voted.

Marketing is too broad, a lot of it is necessary to society. I just vote that we get rid of the bad marketing; the type that tricks you into things.

I would remove the professional criminals (such as thiefs, drug dealers, con-people etc), then there would be far less crime and therefore more happiness!

Unless you can provide a reason as to why we should discriminate against homosexuals then you can eat your own goddamn shit.


OT: I hate politicians mainly because the majority of them are so fucking corrupt in this country.

I also don't understand why people would have anything against prostitution. There's one argument I've come across quite a lot of times and that is the "it can spread STD's" one. A medical exam of the soon to be worker and widely availible condoms can tone that down by quite a bit giving that the reason of the STD spread is due to unhealthy working conditions. Not to mention the fact that prostitution crime rings would pretty much cease to exist. Prostitution has been around for along time. There's absolutely no reason to fight it.

J.G. Wentworth needs to stop working because his commercials make my ears bleed. Stupid rich people...

Anyway, on topic: I think we should stop killing each other. The best first step is to stop paying people to kill other people. The faster we stop killing each other, the faster we can become a space-faring race and find other worlds to live on so as to not annoy each other.

All of the poll nominees are vital components of a society. We may not like them but we do need them, apart from prostitution but it is the oldest profession which does mean that they will always have a trade.

Could you explain the purpose of soldiers then?

 

[Vrach]

If removing soldiering gets rid of wars, it's a pretty clear cut choice :|

 

[Sexual Harassment Panda]

Reality TV star.

 

[Ham_authority95]

Those "cops" who give you tickets for staying at your meter for an extra 2 mins.

Besides that, the world is more interesting with all its current professions.

 

[Marmooset]

Arms dealers, maybe?

I know you mean well by this, but sadly arms dealing is what funds a certain leading scientific publication firm. Eliminating them overnight would have disasterous effects to university students, academia and professionals in almost all scientific fields, including medicine. Maybe with the exception of geology. Sigh, what a complex world it is.

You know, weighing everything in the balance, I'm willing to take that risk.

And I rarely mean well.

How is being homosexual a profession?

 

[Ham_authority95]

This is off topic, but does Bill Hicks remind anyone else of Stevie Ray Vaughan?

 

[Sikachu]

Prostitution. We shouldn't treat our bodies like commodities

Someone who holds that opinion is going to have a tough time doing any kind of paid work...

OT: I would get rid of the vast majority of lawyers and reboot the legal system so as to prevent it from getting to the bloated state in which it is now. There is no chance that a legal system per se cannot be simple enough for an intelligent layman to comprehend, and of course some experts will still be required, but the majority of these people spend time deliberately obfuscating the law so as to justify their job's existence (fyi, I'm a law graduate so these aren't the bitter comments of someone who was stung by a hefty legal bill).

Report and move on.

 

[Lizardon]

I wouldn't shed a tear if "professional sport player" was no longer a proffesion. For one they could all go and get real jobs that benefit society, and our governments would stop wasting our money building new stadiums and arenas.

 

[The Night Shade]

Politicians they are the worse

 

[GeneticallyModifiedDucks]

Marketing. God I hate these guys...

It won't. People will find ways to kill each other no matter what.

 

[cybran]

No politicians?

That might sound good for all the childish, angst filled, rage against the machine/man, adolescence types out there, but seriously?

We should be adding more viable professions, for more jobs, to employ those who are out of work, not take them away!

I know you all hate government, but grow up, it kinda has a reason for being.... but I don't expect those who have made up there mind on the matter to realize that.

It's okay tho, I can see why you hate politicians, maybe go out and become involved with the voting process, you might change what you think is going on in the world of government.

I totally agree with you...

This poll have some stupid options, since these are the most important professions in the world =P

EDIT: except for prostitution, but does that really count as a profession? It's just the female version of Hobo...
