They deleted my innocent post yesterday lol...
Anyway here we go again..
Today I would choose to destroy the fact that chocolate is bad for you.
Something that good cannot be bad... I mean c'mon...
I love the smell of chocolate in the morning!
What would you destroy given the ability to do so and permission from the whole world - no repurcussions whatsoever...? |

| Why stop at chocolate? I'd like to reverse the "healthiness" of foods. For example, carrots are now bad for you and a deep dish pizza helps lower your cholesterol and keeps your bowel movements going on the regular. |

I would like to destroy the laws of physics.
The laws of physics are purely mathematical, morally-neutral. I would reverse that rule. So, take for example lightning. Instead of striking randomly, it would strike wicked people and only wicked people. Gross indecencies would disappear wholesale overnight.
Precisely what is 'wicked', of course, would be my decision on the advice of a committee consisting of a few Daves posters whom I like. |

I have to agree with the foods stuff. I'm a guilty eater of fast food. Gah, that stuff is so good.
I'd personally like to destroy pimples and blackheads. Either they're not there at all, or if you pick at them, it's actually better for your skin. |

I'd destroy TV/Computers
Humans are social animals and we've become too comfortable NOT being social animals. People have lost social skills and the ability to get along with each other. And TV/computers have made everyone content with it.
Not to mention they are distractions from what really matters in life. Family and friends but also bad influence on children. Humans probably reached the pinnacle of civilization around the 1950's. A very peaceful time (in America) in a regular suburb and good household values and kindness.
I'm ranting but... TV is destroying family values.
I sound like a 70 year old woman with grey hair |

Sorry, to clarify, I mean in terms of family values.
Of course, I believe even without TV, racial issues and women's issues would have panned out...
TV's is still a tool of propgating stereotypes even today. |

I think John Stewart said something about Republicans pining for a time in America that never existed.
The 1950s were a time when women were still being forced to stay at home, discouraged from divorcing abusive or emotionally distant husbands. Beating your children was still socially acceptable. The 'behind closed doors' mentality prevaded the country and as long as nothing spilled out into the streets everyone turned a blind eye to the drinking, the bruises, the affairs, the teen pregnancies where the girls had to flee across the county line to get a wire-hanger abortion.
Maybe for a uppper middle class white male the 1950's were paradise.
Before TV existed people wrote things on the Roman walls, listened to town criers, read pamphlets, watched Shakesperian plays, laughed at puppet shows and created famous works of literature and music that propogate stereotypes.
I'm not trying to slam you, but it just gets me when people keep bringing up this nebulous 'past time' as the utopia that the world (or usually just America) should be. It never existed.
In 2050 people will be talking about the simple family values of the 1990s. |

What really matters in life is making our own decisions at our own expense (as opposed to being told what "matters" according to the aesthetic taste of third party observers). |

What also really matters in life is that the cook at the gimbap nara stops over cooking my sundooboo chiggae to the point where the egg is completely blown apart! |

I understand the meaning of your words despite the fact that others are reading waaayyyy too much into them. And...I agree wholeheartedly. I am a luddite through and through. I believe that television and computers and mobile phones all have very important purposes. However, the underlying evil of all of them is that they serve to dissociate people from each other. The art of conversation is dead, or nearly so. Perhaps 1/3 of adults regularly read for pleasure, that was the message the Canadian government put out some years ago anyway. People have actually started talking in "text-talk" and frankly that scares the hell out of me. When people think they don't have the time to actually say, "Oh my God" but say instead "OMG" things have gone awry.
Again, flogging the Laos thing, it is not nearly as prevalent here as in most industrialized countries. People still gather together to eat and talk and enjoy each other's company. Rare is the night when my wife and I eat alone. There is almost always friends and/or family around.
We are living our collective lives through machines. I had an argument with my neice some time back. She was adamant that communicating in a chatroom was no different than communicating face to face.
I disagree. Sadly, I think I am a dying breed. |

I'm seriously LOLing over here.
I'm going to go with humanity as we know it. Mostly because I think Borg implants/Cylon hybrids are the wave of the future and I'm bitter I can't just interface with my super sexy new laptop to state this as opposed to typing.
Or pretty things in general. You knew that one was coming. I'd take down pretty girls but they all carry guns. |
