[Mr0llivand3r]

i had a discussion with my friend about the most evil of the human race's creations.

so, in your opinion, what is the most evil invention ever visited upon mankind and why?

Okay, first off? Thanks for not being a troll puppet. The last few new topics have been just that.
On topic: Drugs. The others are kinda needed for society to run well.

I'm going to go with this.

Guess how it's used.

The Internet. Why? 4chan

 

[MortisLegio]

hmm... the most evil invention is cheese
Cheese is responsible for every war and strife in history

That would be there pear of anguish, and there's no proof it was ever used. In fact I was watching a documentary about torture devices and one of the guys put one in his mouth to see if it actually worked, it broke.

I would just say that no technology is good or evil, all objects are capable of being either, whats important is how their used, I guarantee that I can name a good and evil aspect of every one of those things in the poll.

It's going to sound stupidly philosophical and cliched, but inventions in of themselves can't be evil in the typical sense. The ways in which humans use them can turn them to evil ends, but the inventions themselves, just metal or chemicals or electricity, cannot be evil. Without human interaction, a computer can't cause laziness, a gun can't kill someone, and phones can't invade on privacy.

That husband hunting bra in Japan, I don't know how to post links but an article is on this site. I can't help but think that the pitch for that product went like this. "This is very technical so you are going to have to bear with me, what we have done, is sow a clock, onto a bra." "Duhhh this is the greatest idea evar, we will all be super rich forevar!"

You've obviously never been to San Francisco during Inquisition Night.

Money. Because money is the root of all evil. Hardy har har...But seriously folks. It's probably the McDonald's cheeseburger because not only do they taste awful but they made over half of America look like King Hippo.

The Brazen Bull is probably the most evil invention...

It was an execution device.. it was basically a large hollow brass bull.. The condemned was put inside, and a fire was lit under the bull, heating it to 800-900 degrees.. Inside the bull, the only source of air was a giant horn, that turned the screams of agony of the doomed into the sound of an angry bull.

If you think that any of those things is more evil then that.. I don't know what to tell you.

Actually I have slightly modified version as a bottle opener.

Don't blame inventions for human nature.

Inventions cannot be evil. Only people can. And oh, we are.

Human Beings. A useless creation that has only destroyed the Earth, and has given nothing back.

What about those large brown spiders the burn holes in your flesh about the width of a golf ball and the depth of a shot-glass?
