Drugs and tobacco. That is to say illegal drugs like marijuana, cocaine, heroin, etc. All they do is rot people away both physically and mentally until only a lazy, foul-smelling husk remains.
Also racism, sexism, and religious intolerance.

Magic.
Seriously, magic sucks.
When was the last time you heard magic doing something good in the world. I mean they haven't even mentioned magic on the news even once for years. I certainly haven't seen any big articles in my local newspaper about how magic made someone's life better or how it helped in disaster relief efforts.
When it comes down to it, magic has down squat to make the world a better place.
So I say, if magic isn't gonna be of any use then we might as well get rid of it.
I mean it's like it practically doesn't exist anyway so we wouldn't really be a huge loss I feel.

The problem with removing one bad element of human civilization/nature is that they are intertwined and complex. If we eliminate world hunger the population of the world increases like crazy and we run out of space, use a shit ton of natural resources, and create new problems such as environmental destruction from larger populations. If we eliminate war, those who served best as soldiers will have to find something else to do for a job, gun manufacturers go out of business, and even more competition for jobs result as any and all military service men and women are unemployed. Every solution causes more problems regardless of what is solved, hell no crime would put every cop and law enforcement agent out of a job that they worked to feed their family. If you eliminate religion, there are fewer reasons for people to act kind and moral, no church or mosque is there to remind them of the power of giving and treating the poor. Also eliminating religion takes away a powerful social and cultural identity and relation to others. I say this as an agnostic person who does not know if God exists or not, I do know that church offers believers a place to meet people that share their values and ideas. Getting rid of monogamy and discouraging staying with one person does increase the risk for STDs, sorry people you are not always going to remember to slap on a condom when your brain is focused on boning the hot momma in front of you or the best girl you could get considering the circumstances. Oh and the unexpected kids that she births, to be a good parent you can't be spending too much time riding the village bicycles, you've got some diapers to change.
Herp derp, let's ignore everything that doesn't fit in our way of viewing the world! Never mind that it actually fucking happens, and can be measured and observed!Matthew94 said:And that's why Quantum Theory should die in a fire.Pinkamena said:
That, and everything else. It's just all those bullshit infinite that I hate. Like virtual particles and the sheer number that could exist for a short time. Fuck that, I don't need that bullshit in my reality!
Oh yeah, and entanglement acing instantly over huge distances so it pretty much ignores the speed of light. Fuck that too
Emotions and sleep.
Too much of the first and lack of the second clouds thought.
Imagine how clear one could reason without these two?
It would solve all major problems if people started thinking straight.

Ignorance things would be so much better without it we would understand everything and everyone perfectly we would be omniscient. Yeah that would be pretty awesome or everything would be destroyed depends on how ignorance is got rid of I suppose but im willing to take that risk.
Other than that procrastinating as it wastes so much of my time.
Also for those saying sleep I think it would be better if you said tiredness as just getting rid of sleep will make everyone really pissed off and tired and likely dead within a year.

OT the fifty shades books they must die
Preferably, the religious ones just drive me up the wall the most. Its like... if I say something that is against what they believe they ether freak out because I'm telling them what they say isn't right or because I say what I say I'm not going to heaven and therefore must be "Saved".TakerFoxx said:

Aside from the obvious (rape, murder, greed, famine, disease, etc.), tobacco. What has that plant contributed to the planet other than cancer and bad smells?
Marmite. It smells terrible and tastes even worse. If it's existence was erased then maybe the creators would make something worthwhile putting on toast.
Perfectly understandable, good sir. And I agree: the world would be better without that kind of thinking.Zack Alklazaris said:
It's just that, having been on this site for a while and having time and time again seen a chorus of people saying something to the effect of "Let's get rid of an entire way of thinking because we don't agree with it and there's people who think like that who act like total dicks" gets a little...tiring after a while. I mean, hell, I've encountered some tremendously dickish atheists who made a point to be a complete jerk to me just because I'm not an atheist, but that doesn't mean I think atheism itself isn't a valid worldview and should be eliminated, or that all atheists should be judged based upon the actions of said jerks.
Anyway, rant over. Sorry, it's just been building up for some time. >_<
Quackery, organised religion as a political tool, volcanoes, wasps, Final Fantasy 13, Planking, and Book burnings.
How about stupidity?
Without it, I believe, we would solve a lot of the problems in today's world.
