Un-invent Something

[joxville]

If you could un-invent something what would you choose?

There are many things I would like to un-invent but my biggest bugbear at the moment is sunglasses because I'm sick of people that wear them indoors or at night so they would be my first choice.

[sweetpea]

if your eyes were sensitive to light you would see the value of them;)

[joxville]

I mean the common or garden muppet that does it to look 'cool'.

[sweetpea]

Oh Ok that's not cool!

The list is huge!


Plastic bags
Cigarettes
Coldplay
Polititians
Mobile phones with small buttons so I dont get a 1,2,3,4,6,7,8,9 when I try and press 5!
Cars with excessively big engines
Flatpack furniture.

I'll get a few more if i put my mind to it :eek:

Religion, all forms of it. The benefits of it are far, far outweighed by the division it causes.

[joxville]

Damn, you got me there:D

I only have that for a week then next quiz winner takes it over.

Oh good, I thought I was the only person who thought that of David Cameron. Can't stand him especially when he stands there making childish jokes in parliament. How on earth did he become their leader.

[unicorn]

[northener]

I'd uninvent the Human Race. Biggest vermin on the planet.

[Kevin Milkins]

I hate those parking meters that you have to put your car registration number in so to stop you handing your ticket to someone else if you have time left on it.:mad: For one I can never remeber my number and have to walk back to the car, and two if I have paid for a two hour parking slot then it shoud be my slot for two hours.
If I only use one hour then it ought to be up to me who I give the remainder to.
So its in to room 101 for these types of meters.:D

[Max]

Better still why not uninvent the net and then my wife would probably (possibly?) get more of my time.

[mccaugm]

My un-invent list..(doubt thats a word but neither is Skorrie really)

Cigarettes- nuff said
Baileys ice cream - cos it tastes so good and I know its bad for me
Alco-pops - less alcohol aimed at teeny-boppers the better
The Star- cos its such a terrible "news"paper
Religion - nuff said
Victoria Beckham
Teenagers who think that their rooms are tidy when they are patently not
Dictators
Washing dishes
Men & women who don't put weight on regardless of what they eat

List is endless....

[percy toboggan]

Without a doubt - mobile phones...and those silly things some men wear in their wear to try to appear indispensable. Has anyone ever seen a woman with a blue-tooth ear set?...no, neither have I. Well resisted girls.

Funny you should mention that Percy. A new female member of staff at my work wears one-first woman I've seen doing it.

[joxville]

I would un-invent the Police's treatment of and attitude towards decent hard-working citizen's that pay taxes.

[Tilter]

I'm with Northerner. I would un-invent the human race (provided I'd already reinvented myself as a meerkat or something).

Also for un-inventing David Cameron.

[Andrew C]

1. Television - junk the vast majority of the time
2. Cigarettes - just disgusting
3. Alcohol - at the root of most social problems in the UK
4. Sean Batty (weather forecaster) - just cos he does my head in
5. Rain - would be much better if we could drink sunshine!
6. Mobile Phones - who wants to be contactable 24/7? Life was at a better pace before them.
7. Religion and all its ugly connotations - its a man made thing often confused with faith in the living God
8. High-rise flats - just ugly unsociable things
9. Chocolate cake - would help my waistline!
10. The United States of America - I'm sure the world would have been more peaceful if they'd remained a British colony lol

[pat]

Agree with your list except for the chocolate cake - would replace that with man made monsters - huge wind turbine, pylons and radio/mobile masts.

Mobile phones would come top of my deinvent list - have one but used for emergency use only and because they have removed most of the pay phones.

Television is a waste of so much time - once folk sit down that it is for the night - no conversation, no anything until bedtime, what a waste of time.

Religion - agree with you - faith is something different and personal.

Alcohol and cigarettes - give the money instead to someone who can do something with it, instead of self harming.

[joxville]

Un-invent:

Cilla Black, The Beatles, Jimmy Tarbuck, Bruce Forsyth, Shereen Nanjiani, Bruce Forsyth's wig, Gordon Ramsey, Ronnie Corbett, Sean Connery, Eastenders especially but all soaps. All diy shows. All cookery shows. Jeremy Kyle, Jeremy Kyles parents, Jeremy Kyles grandparents, doorstep salemen, call centre's, Celtic FC, Rangers FC, Bernie Ecclestone, Max Mosley, USA, guns, religion, my head office, Frederick Forsythe, Wales, adverts that aren't funny, Jonathon Ross' sycophancy towards guest's on his show, toe next to my big toe-the cause of my back trouble.

[silverfox57]

wish they had un-invented cigarettes in the 1960ths before they found out the harm it will cause in later life.

They rescued a generation from the likes of Bobby Vee and Dickie Valentine!!!...we didn't ask subsequent ones to embrace 'em...venerate 'em and love 'em...is it our fault they still outsell almost everyone else?

Unnecessary organs in the human body (especially the appendix which can burst and release poisonus toxins into your body and kill you.
The man that does the confused.com adverts
adverts which take up a valuable 30 seconds showing a film about chickens and then to find out they are advertising a car.
Erm... the list is endless really but I think you get the idea.

I would like to un-invent money. Its been a LARGE source of greed and motive for all sorts of crimes. Let's get back to barter. :D

As far as I'm aware the laws of bartering still apply in this country. You're not obliged to pay the price shown, it is a guideline only, so remember that next time you do your weekly shopping.

[tootler]

But RFR, what would the swifts and the frogs have to eat if we didn't have flies?

Better looking insects. Actually..

I'd like to uninvent frogs and swifts and all animals that feed on flies :Razz

So the Salvation Army is a non-religious body is it?

Unless I am sorely mistaken, it is a Christian organisation whose members will ultimately enjoy the eternal happiness of the righteous, whilst believing in the endless punishment of the wicked. How forgiving of them all.

So the Salvation Army is a non-religious body is it?

Unless I am sorely mistaken, it is a Christian organisation whose members will ultimately enjoy the eternal happiness of the righteous, whilst believing in the endless punishment of the wicked. How forgiving of them all.

Was wondering how long it would take. The distinction I was making was between all the stuff that people build up around God (such as war-mongering, religious hatred and cold religious systems that are much more than about man than they are about God) and not the worship of and belief in God itself. We don't need all these religious hoops to come to God.

Membership of The Salvation Army doesn't earn you heaven, neither does membership of any other church, institution or organisation. The belief you mention doesn't suggest this. The bible teaches that salvation is found in Jesus alone.

Religion says that you have to 'do' to inherit eternal life. The Christian faith says that everything has been done by Jesus for our salvation...we access that by repentance and faith in Him.

This is why I'm for the abolition of religion. As you say, it is not fair that only religious people should get to enjoy eternal life. The truth is that its not the case....everyone who has faith in God through Jesus can have eternal life. Unfortunately, we're not often great at grasping this distinction.

And yes, The Salvation Army should disappear too if it ever tells anyone that you have to jump through its hoops to get to heaven.

So, in that sense, the Salvation Army is a non-religious body - we are, however, a group of people who live out our faith in God together.

[Jeid]

Have to say I'm with Metalattakk. Religion... it's all a load of crap anyway.

[Ricco]

I have decided on a second 'undo' - tobacco. They should have sunk Raleigh as sson as he appeared on the horizon. I always suspected that the Victorians were a bunch of junkies. Who else would spend the best part of a century dressed up as a Goth?
