The car. Ruined everything. Big oil came about, polution, greenhouse gasses and global warming. The population got out of shape and lazy. The 'ME' generation came about. Society degraded. Instant gratification and the loss of patience. Endless ****ing stupid assed macho commercials. Millions of acres burried under blacktop...

My vote goes to the atom bomb. Aside from saving japanese and american lives at the end of ww2- it has served little purpose but fill billions of lives with even more fear and drain the economies of many nations.

I disagree, I think that it prevent WW3, and think will still in the coming years. If there were no nukes, that would only give nations more incourgement to go to war. Allthough if nukes start spreading more, it can cause the reverse effect.

Typical Fox (pretty sure it was them).
Yep. We got a hoot out of the Fox pucks here in Canada. "Now that's gonna make truck-pulling yanks watch hockey!"
I renominate the suction abortion machine as well from the previous thread.

The worst design ever has to be the clasp on the back of a woman's bra. I'm not talking about the single hook style (those one's are easy to get undone) but the two small hook design (those little bastards positively won't come off). Those things are absolutely infuriating!

I've never removed a woman's bra
And no one has said the United States yet, so I'll have to do it here.

I still think the New York Yankees -- because they ruined the competitive balance in baseball. It simply is no fun to have to beat this same team year in and year out to win the World Series.
Next, of course, are the Atlanta Braves!

It would actually be the player's union and free agency that has ruined baseball.
 ACK!

the transition from a state of grace--i.e., unevolved and only moderately intelligent simians--to a graceless state--i.e., civilization as we know it.
coming down from the trees was a bad idea.

It's not the yankee's fault that they win so often. Besides, they didn't win anything between 1978 and 1996, and they didn't win last year.

I felt the xfl had a good premise but bad implementation. and you cannot escape the fact that the talent pool for professional football is a bit narrow.

The medical latex glove is the worst invention in history because without it attending physicians would never have had the balls to force interns into doing rectal exams on every patient. I'm not kidding!

Worst made to purpose: Roman cross.
Worst by accident: lead-based paint. Maybe DDT. PCBs?

lead based paint was used by the navy and I think it may still be used on the outside hull. It is stronger than other paints.

I'm not disputing it's usefulness. DDT and PCBs are useful, too -- it's just that the potential for harm is high.

OW needs to go back to his Nat'l Geographic collection and see what breasts look like when they don't use them.
|
If you watch the BBC America program... Ground Force... you can catch Charlie Dimmock and see what I mean.  She has the right idea.
Just because some women droop doesn't mean they all do. :-P~~ Besides, the National Geographic did that on purpose to discourage America's youth from ****ing and going blind.

mostly it deals with size I'd imagine. women with bigger boobs have them drop faster. and many african women have large breasts.
although I do imagine bras do help shape their growth and keep them perkier for a longer time. but eventually gravity catches up with them.
