    The human race's worst invention?

    What do you think was the worst thing ever invented by the human race?

    I have my own ideas on the subject, but I'd like to see some others before polluting the pool of ideas.

    No, no, no.

    Religion begat theocracy, not god. Don't confuse religion and god.

    Well, asshats in funny clothes begat theocracy, but they used a religious excuse.

    Just like the WC for a thread to quickly degenerate into a debate about alcohol.

    I'd have to say that time (or if you have a problem with that as an invention, the measurement of time) is humanity's worst invention.

    To each their own, I guess. To me, Irish whiskey is therapy and introspection in a bottle.

    Time is an illusion. Lunchtime, doubly so.
