Worst thing ever in the history of mankind

[MonkeyFunk]

[Fenris]

1. The Gluten is killing us!

[MonkeyFunk]

5. I remember when I was a little kid

my parents would tell me that if I didn't behave, The Gluten would come and get me. :scared:

[KamaAina]

2. This oughta be on Colbert's Threatdown!

Threat #2: Gluten!

[GOPisEvil]

3. None of the above: Clinton's Penis.

[Mad_Dem_X]

39. Yeah, why isn't that on there?

:rofl:

[idgiehkt]

4. My pick would be religion

Can be construed as the cause of some, the aggravation of others.

[Arugula Latte]

44. Good point. Religion is the tool that has been used to control the masses

for centuries and centuries. You need people to be compliant to serve the master? Tell them they'll get their reward in the afterlife. You need people to get maimed or killed to enrich your coffers? Tell them god is on your side. You want to control women and keep them from getting too uppity? Point to the Bible. And on and on it goes.

[azmouse]

6. The Supreme Court that installed Chimpy as Pretzeldent

Has to at least be among the worst thing to ever befall the human race.

[genie_weenie]

7. Time.

Without time no other evil could exist! Damn you, you dimension of time!!!!!! From hell's heart I stab at thee...

[Initech]

8. Corporate deregulation

It's given us nothing but problems, and because of that we have HMOs, Fox News, Clear Channel, Ticketmaster, 24 / 7 celebrity news, and George Bush.

[HughBeaumont]

32. And in all likelihood, no cure for cancer.

Not unless it can be patented.

After all, they're in the sick business, not in the health business (cures don't keep 'em comin' back!). Not OUR health, anyway.

[leftofthedial]

9. religion

dark ages

war



all related

[MonkeyFunk]

10. You're all wrong

It's the Gluten.

[ghostsofgiants]

13. My friend was recently diagnosed with ciliac disease...

She would be inclined to agree.

[rug]

11. George H. W. Bush's orgasms.

[dropkickpa]

36. Ewwwww

Just, ewww. Because you just KNOW Barbara was there at some point, doing god knows what.

[rug]

38. Yeah, and look at the plagues they produced.

It gives new meaning to the term sexually transmitted disease.

[ghostsofgiants]

12. "Classic" rock radio.

[Zookeeper]

15. No fair!

I wanna change my vote, now!

"Classic" rock radio followed by "soft" rock. Yep.

[sammythecat]

14. Of the 7 choices the clear

winner would be war.

I think of all the resources, brain power, and money, that gets thrown away and lost engaging in war, and the never ending preparation for war, and I can't help but think the other 6 could've either been eradicated or reduced drastically in significance.

Religion was mentioned as an alternative. Getting rid of war would almost automatically eliminate religion because our history tells us that we can't seem to have religion without having war as well. Without religion we could still have wars. We do. We have wars for any ol' reason.

We like it. :thumbsup: :bounce:

[XemaSab]

16. Alanis singing "My Humps"

[Mz Pip]

17. War has probably killed

more people than gluten, so I'll go for war.

:dem:

[MonkeyFunk]

24. ah, so far

but according to GD, we're all just one bun away from instant death-by-gluten.

[saltpoint]

46. "One bun over the line Sweet Jesus!"

[RandomKoolzip]

18. I don't see "Chemtrails" on your list.

[MonkeyFunk]

23. That's because I like chemtrails

They cut down on the sun, and their mind-control properties make me giddy.

[TommyO]

19. On a serious note, I voted for "War"

on the less serious note, I would go for classic rock radio all the way. As much as I love most of the music, the stations themselves are unlistenable. Give me satellite radio any day over the local classic rock station - they're currently playing their entire library from A to Z, give it a break, I have more music than they do on my iPod!

[nevergiveup]

20. racial, ethnic and

religious prejudice.

[u4ic]

21. Headcheese

:puke:

[GoddessOfGuinness]

22. Dumbyass' residency.

[qwertyMike]

25. Nagasaki n/t

[Oeditpus Rex]

26. World War II

Virtually everything wrong with the world now, and with the U.S. in particular, can be attributed to it.

[Evoman]

27. No doubt.

It basically created the International Arms Market.

[saltpoint]

28. War generally, and the Peloponnesian War particularly.

"Chronicled" sadly but beautifully by Mary Renault in THE LAST OF THE WINE.

[Omphaloskepsis]

29. gunpowder...

and tofu...

[ThomCat]

30. Poverty

It kills more people, and often does it is a slow, painful way that grinds people down.

[otherlander]

31. Nazis.

You can prevent AIDS, but you can't prevent Nazis.

[Random_Australian]

33. Men. Take them out of power, let women rule the world. That's right -

we made the mess and now you can clean it up. :D


















I'm kidding! I'm kidding! I'm no sexist bastard!

More seriously, I would like to postulate that the illusion that makes us think we so fucking fantastically in the real world that we could never be wrong is the worst.

[LeftishBrit]

34. Of the things listed here, war

Not only a horrible evil in itself, and may well be what ends the world, but it uses so many resources that it also prevents people finding solutions to many of the other things mentioned.

Poverty, and disease in general, might also come pretty high.

[youthere]

35. Mimes..and Paris Hilton.

[underpants]

37. Japanese pop culture

[The2ndWheel]

40. Clocks

Or just time. I'm sitting here at work and there is a clock on the computer screen about 1 foot away, on the telephone possibly closer than the screen, and one on the wall barely 10 feet away. They're freakin' everywhere.

[saltpoint]

47. NoMoreMyths, I like yours and genie_weenie's answers in this thread

a lot.

Very insightful, and I appreciate it.

[formerrepuke]

41. Earth-shattering car audio systems.. I can live with the other stuff, but not this.

[raccoon]

42. Invention of "cheese food." nt

[LSK]

43. not Olive Garden's Corn Flake Chicken Glutten Surprise??

[caty]

48. War

and war mongers like bush:evilfrown:cheney!

[XNASA]

49. I can say without hesitation, the worst thing ever is....

An elephant's butt.

[Lil Missy]

50. Fox News

They can make all the things you listed seem like good news.

[slj0101]

51. Tofu disdian.

[Redneck Socialist]

52. Spelling 'the' T. E . H.

Man that hacks me off. :mad:
