WTF DV got hacked? Is that why for one day half the people had the same avatars and were transsexual? I didn't give that much thought for some reason.

I don't really think this thread is a downer, unless thinking about bad things makes you depressed beyond the point of consoling. [Which it shouldn't really, because if you were to make a list, the pros would definately outweigh the cons.]
And since overpopulations already been noted, I would add:
- Bloodlust.
- The desire for money or power/influence.
- The dillution of the word "love" (i.e. "I love my iPod, my car, etc.", by that line of thinking, you only love something until it breaks or something goes wrong).
- Mushrooms and other things that grow naturally being made illegal.
- Synthetic highs in general.
- Convenience to an extreme that makes it near impossible for humans to evolve.
- The giant island made of garbage in the middle of the ocean.
- The desire to make others believe exactly as you do.
- The fact that society has moved away from ways of recording information that can be understood 1,000's of years into the future, without requiring certain technological devices.
- The overwhelming tendacy not to learn from the past.
- The fact that someone hasn't yet invented a machine that automatically records all memories to a searchable digital database, complete with dialogue, movie-views, and still images...but they've invented a toilet that can talk to you.
- Embalming.
I hope that list wasn't too depressing. But if it was, sometimes things that upset you can catalyze ideas better than things you enjoy.
:P
1- Celebrity worship
2- Industrial civilization
How humans evolved with that little 'extra' bit of skin in the middle of the upper lip that is IRRESISTABLE TO PICK but just always end up pulling too much off and hurting themselves.
1. Evil.
2. Good people who sit with their tail between their legs in front of evil.
3. Nuclear weapons
4. Non nuclear weapons
5. Guns
6. Religion
7. Liars
8. Corruption
9. Wolves in sheeps clothing
10. Insignificant conflicts
11. Greed/Power

1) The world
2) People in the world
3) People in the world thinking someone is wrong with the world
Sometimes a problem doesn't exist if you don't believe it's there.
This about raps it up for me.Quote:

PETA, and all of its supporters.
Also, Apple.
Oh, come on, I can't believe nobody has mentioned the speed of light. I mean, you go one freaking mile per second over the speed limit, and they give you negative mass, no exceptions.That has got to be the stupidest thing ever. I mean, they could at least give you a 3-5mps leeway.
And don't get me started on gravity. It hurts when you forget to keep something solid between yourself and the space below you.
The rules are there for a reason. I don't think we should question them.Quote:

Gravity's useful, but what justification is there for the mass/energy speed conversion? Not trying to argue, I'd just like to hear what you think about it.Quote:

I think it's a perfectly good reason for people being nice.Quote:

I think that most of what is really wrong with the world boils down to this:
-people being jerks
-people being stupid (may include most or all of example 1, your opinion may vary)
-the fact that we not only have pain, but need it to survive
There may have been something else, instead of one ofthe first two, but if it was a different one I don't recall it right now.
Edit: A more specific example is the burger king burget shots commercial. Which is to be filed under "people being stupid."
I know many retards (forgive the word) who will sacrifice themselves for you if you ask them, without getting anything out of it. People are just too damn greedy. I just really dislike it when they mask it as doing something miraculously right, when they're only being selfish. Don't do something egoistically and say you're being altruistic, that's what I say.
And also, having things half-half means there are no minorities, and in such case less ignorance and prejudice/etc. We are already 7 billion, as you said, it's not like we need to reproduce lol
Don't be foolish, I was being facetious.Quote:

A small orphanned child dropping their ice cream on a hot summer's day whilst a volcano erupts in the background and they are slowly and painfully killed and preserved by the combination of hot ash and magma.
One year later, aid workers try and excavate the site and discover the child's fossilised remains. In its dying moments it had clearly scrawled with its finger in the ash that was piling up all around, "I'm coming Momma..."
