Things you don't want that do exist
I know, I know, copycat threads are generally verboten, but I think JT's thread is interesting and this is the logical companion.

So, what things exist in the world that you wish would cease to exist. And for heaven's sake, keep all the obvious ones to yourself. (i.e., nuclear/chemical/biological weapons, pollution, the French.) I'm particularly interested in things you are forced to carry that you wish did not exist, for instance...

Pagers. Goddamn, I hate this thing.

Others, such as...
Cell phones.
SUVs.
Reality TV (Amazing Race and Survivor excluded).

I spose that chancres are too obvious.
Popup stoppers. I love them because I need them, but I wish that I didn't need them.

That people who say conservative or liberal in a thread of this nature, need what they're wanting to disappear to stay around, so as to provide a frame of reference, as well as provide a system of checks and balances.

I don't get it. It's a really beautiful melody, and I'm certain it is inspirational to the Japanese people. It certainly is a far better tune than the Star Spangled Banner, which is nothing but obnoxious bombast.

Ugh. It sounds so....depressing. Israel is a very different case because that sounds like Jewish Pain but this....this sounds atrocious. It reminds me of the Japanese losing WW2....
