If you could...

[The Spawn]

...eradicate the existence and history of one of the above, which would you choose?

 

[Majic Walrus]

One of the above?

Uh... The Spawn?

 

[X-Ray]

Murder.

 

[JStorm]

I like Spawn because he's like me.

8 Minutes...interesting.

I wonder if the new vBulletin is vastly superior to this one.

 

[Avangarde]

Religion would probably take care of a few of the other above options such as war.

I'm sorry, the history too? As in, it never existed to begin with? I don't think I could get rid of any of those. Necessity is the mother of invention, and war & conflict create a lot of necessities. We wouldn't even have radios if it weren't for World War I.

Do I choose rape? What if a great person in history was really the product of their mother getting raped?

Do I choose murder? What about all of the monsters of history who were murdered?

I give up. I abstain from voting.

Only one of these issues that didn't show up in Year 1, is Deforrestation, so that one.

[The Spawn]

I think Manic has found the catch 22.

It'd also prevent a few things from every happening. Cause people wouldn't be able to fall back on "THIS DEITY WANTS YOU TO!" and everyone else just sit there and nod along saying, "that sounds good."

 

[Kelly]

Taking away religion to eradicate war wouldn't do it, it would only take away the excuse for war. The reasons for war are far more numerous than simply "religion".

I took away money to take away some amount of greed. Greed funds a lot of the world's evils.

Getting rid of money won't get rid of greed. As long as Person-A has more crap than Person-B, people will always feel the need to have more crap to feel better about themselves. Without money, we'd simply use a trade and barter system, not to mention theft would still exist.

 

[The Guard]

Out of all those, only "poverty" strikes me as something you could eliminate as well as the history of and still have a functioning world. If you could eliminate poverty in total, what horrible after effect would that cause?

 

[darkseid26]

pollution...

Damn you for ruining communism for me!

 

[dsfjr1190]

As I have a friend that has been raped before, I choose rape without hesitation. Rapists should all get death sentences.

 

[zahanbil]

I'm choosing stress. I think if everyone just had a lot less stress and pressure on them, the world would be a chiller place.

 

[Hobgoblin]

What is racism, Alex?

 

[Kargo Warrior]

War.

We will eventually find a cure for every disease except the disease called lust for money,power and domination.

I'm an atheist but if there was no religion i really doubt people would have been able to build societies and states.Until late 14-15 century when science began explaining things no one could have explained or figured out most of the phenomenas concerning Earth and sheer anarchy and fear would have ruled...

If we hypothetically assume people were self-conscious and knowledgeable then,that's another mather...

Rape,discrimination,murder,drugs are all terrible things but war destroys generations and the will of people...with only one option i would choose that.

If you eliminate war or poverty you would get rampant overpopulation and the inevitable death of the human race. It would also take much of the rest of the life on the planet with it.

 

[Cain]

Religion with ease.

War, yes. But how would eliminating poverty cause rampant overpopulation? It's not as if it everyone living in poverty dies, or doesn't live a long life, or reproduce.

More of them survive and stay healthy. They then have more kids who in turn have more kids and so on. The numbers snowball.
