The worst idea Mankind ever had?

[Adfest]

Alcohol free beer. Why? Just why?

My Kraft Singles are officially trumped. I totally forgot about alcohol free alcohol.

Well, I DON'T think any astronomers found any solar systems that close to ours. So it will probably be a few generations until they even reach some run down system... And I also believe that there weren't any planets that seemed habitable anywhere in the nearest solar systems.

So chances are, even if there are evil aliens lurking the EVIL SPACE!, we will probably be long dead by the time they come here.

And really, I personally find it unlikely for a civilization to be deep in space and able to travel distances at speeds higher then light (which chances are, isn't even possible outside of sci-fi) but not have astronomy developed enough to notice us by then.

If we're looking for aliens everywhere, chances are any other developed "humanity" would too. And look at what our puny earthling astronomers found out about near and not so near solar systems.

Not too much (Well, actually, quite a lot. They wouldn't be able to detect a city or something, though. But they can find out some basic facts about planets accurately... and it's doubtful that life would be on gas giants or planets lacking any atmosphere. And stuff like that), but then again we are nowhere close to the tech level of the hypothetical space traveling aliens.

All I meant was that we have sent a man-made object out of the Solar System. I just have a thing for space exploration.

I think you're a bit to ignorant of peoples opinion, most things there aren't even bad.

The Roman Empire. I reckon that's pretty much where it all went wrong. Bunch of latin speaking twits coming over here, killing our Druids...
We'd be so much better if we'd remained a celtic based society.

religion...... nah just kidding or am i o.0 (to tired)

One word... Mudkips.

Reproducing.

This. Also the idea to turn the weapons they used against animals on their brothers was a big *facepalm*. All war stems from that fateful day.

 

[Bullfrog1983]

Setting off nuclear bombs was probably the stupidest action mankind has ever taken.

What about religion? The deaths that have been caused by religion pale in comparison to communism. (I won't even get on the part that communism has been around for a tiny fraction of that of religion as well).

I can cite exact numbers if you wish of the deaths caused by Communist countries vs the biggest atrocities of religion. Let me know if you want to try this argument with me, you will lose, the numbers are there.

It think Mao tacked up about 60 million? I would like these numbers you speak of.

This is going to go massively off topic, but i agree and disagree with you;
Communism as social policy is never ever ever ever going to work and will always cause bloodshed whenever it is implemented.
Communism, or at least socialism as economic policy is inevitable.

Mao's at 70 million, Stalin's at 30, Hitler topped 25 in most studies. Just for perspective.

Can i ask for a non-wikipedia source? Just so i know the numbers are solid.
Also; Hitlers relation to Communism?

Nuclear Power and The Bomb

nuclear power is a good thing. It probly fuels your house right now, and its a clean energy source. Weaponising it is bad.

Not when you have a hostile alien war fleet to contend with. MAC rounds are sporadically effective at best.
[/joke]

Yea but there is still the problem of getting the nukes there without them been shot down. There is an international law saying no one can arm a station with nuclear weapons.

Aliens may find that satellite eventually but why would they would not necessarily be more advanced than us by then. The real worst idea mankind ever had was Scientology.

Oh come on. Without Scientology the Southpark episode "Trapped in the Closet" would never have been made. Nor would Battlefield Earth, which was so bad it was good.

Battlefield Earth (the movie) was so bad that it zipped right past that delighfully awful zone and landed in just plain terrible. The question I had at the end was what the HELL did they spend all that money on?! The entire view of the alien planet for example seems to be a foggy room lit with purple lights - that must have set them back at least a few bucks.

The book, however, was fantastic.
