If you were God

[Joal 555]

If you could eliminate one thing from the world, what would it be?

Some guidelines: -

1. It should be a physical thing (so not things like poverty or hunger or suffering etc - which I'm sure we'd all want to eliminate)

2. It should be as specific as possible - for example, you would have to choose between say "guns" or "bombs" rather than the wider "weapons"

3. It should not be a person or people

As tempted as I was to vote for spiders, i'm gonna go for guns

[TheCakeIsAlive]

Well, if you've eliminated guns, I'll go and eliminate... bombs I suppose. Difficult to choose.

[tma]

well... since guns and bombs have now been eliminated, and since I can't eliminate politicans...

I'll go for mice.

[snuffle-bunny]

I'd eliminate wasps. Nasty little striped barrels of hatred.

I second this SO hard.

Also I vote to eliminate scorpions.

[Ouro]

At the risk of reintroducing myself to the forum as a total downer; Humans.

[Renee]

hard to choose but one would be flys

[doggo]

Oh Ouro, I really had to read that before morning coffee? Now I feel totally cranky already!

ticks

[Enkidom]

I consider slugs fairly revolting and not particularly helpful for anything in particular so they get a smiting from me.

[doggo]

Oh man, if we were gods, I wonder what birds would have to eat!

[smooshi]

Oh man, if we were gods, I wonder what birds would have to eat!

Birds could eat... us? *scared face expression*

Oh, wait, no, Ouro killed us too.

[VoOs]

Oh man, if we were gods, I wonder what birds would have to eat!

This. Way to ruin the ecosystem, guys. : /

As for me, I'd remove the HIV-virus. Or the cancer cell.

[Shay]

I'd remove tobacco.

[Heavy-Chevy]

Centipedes! Seriously, I don't see any reason why those nasty creepy things exist! They sting, some of them are pretty venomous, and they're all ugly as hell. So for me, that one is a no brainer.

[AppleBlossom]

One word: Paedophiles.

[Vetinari]

. It should not be a person or people

Both humans and paedophiles are people I believe. At least some of the time.

I'd remove Norovirus.

[Pearlised]

Frick, cant think of a single object thing I'd want to get rid of that hasnt been said. Mostly just groups of people cause people suck and they're what's screwing life up. think about how pretty the world would be without humanity.

But since I cant oust people... can I get rid of Joal's 3 rules?

[Orionbob]

Everyone's left shoe.

(I suspect I would be a very annoying god.)

[Kiwifruit]

Joal, since you didn't - I'm going to go for spiders! Screw ecosystems. They would all go immediately if I was a god xD

[Emily]

I WAS JUST ABOUT TO SAY THAT. Spiders and anything else that's got more than four legs and crawls, flies or both. THEY ALL GONNA DIEEEE

[Icee]

Cacti...stupid, prickly cacti...

[Ouro]

Well fine then, ruin my self-righteous cynicism why don't you.

Kills self-righteous cynicism.

(it was too tempting)

can I get rid of Joal's 3 rules?

I am God, and I say Joal's rules don't apply to me! I will turn him into a spider if he protests.

My first act as God is to get rid of country music. It's the worst thing ever! People who write/record/perform country music are gonna have to find a less annoying career path. Like maybe becoming a Kardashian.

But if I have to play by the rules, I'd get rid of iceberg lettuce. I find it seriously vile. And don't tell me it has no taste! It totally has a taste. Tastes like crap. Spinach for everyone!

[Marshmallow Peep]

I'd like to get rid of the so-called "chicken patties" at my school. They're these awful, rock-hard... things. They taste horrible, and just about everyone I know who has eaten one has experienced some form of stomach issue after eating one (and does the school do anything about it? No! Just like what they did with the cockroaches that are everywhere and the horrible smell coming from the pipes in the locker rooms. Nothing. Absolutely nothing! Okay, I'll stop whining now.). No one should ever have to eat them... ever.
