If there was a world reset what would you keep and what would you get rid of

kerryjack

I would get rid of marriage for life, should be a contract for say 5 years and after that you would be out of contract and free for a month or go back to partner after a month if you wish. Everyone would look after themselves better, stay in better shape and more action in the bedroom,personally I think the day a man gets married and gives up the chase he dies a little.I would get rid of 40 hour working weeks, 20 hour weeks sound about right and should be no unemployment if work was shared out more. What would you keep and get rid of.

It's a tough question but if I had to pick I'd keep the flute that Captain Jean Luc Picard played in Star Trek : The Next Generation.

Get rid: about half the human population. Not by a general cull but by implementing progressive population controls over many years.

Keep: the earth for a bit longer.

RMAOK

Get rid of personal space invaders and idle gossipers

Keep: some of the animals that are threatened with extinction

social media for the chaos it causes, china & india due to having far too many people.
I would re instate borders and let countries grow their own food and stop this crazy truckers driving thousands of miles with raspberries in December.
I would encourage people to be nice and award a points system for this.

Anyone being cruel to animals shot by firing squad without a trial i would volunteer to do this one my self.

Agree with a good few of your points.
Social media has a lot of down sides.
Our food carbon footprint is huge, and i would like to see people become more sustainable when it comes to food.
Ye then marriage thing, doesnt make much sence to me.
Im almost 30 and with the gf 3 years and she would like to get martied sometime, but i just cant see the point/ advantage of it.

there is no point to marriage anymore as mobile phones & tindr etc are there to de value it. Duplicity is way more easy these days plus no offense to the ladies, seeing a married man is not a scandal any more it was in my day and you were a pariah but today its like a notch on the belt sad but true. Also women are very overt and seedily dressed lots on show so why wouldn't a man have his cake & eat it lots of it!!!

I would get rid of boxing or any sport that involves hitting someone especially on the head. Just stupid and dangerous. The brain was not made for that. I would get rid of horse racing. Its cruel and impossible to keep up with the amount of horse names anyway. I honestly do not know how someone follows a horse or a trainer. Get rid of bull teasing like over in Spain and also anything that wastes food like that big tomato throwing thing they have in Spain. All prostitution would be got rid of too. Monogamy get rid of it.why should a man not have 3 or 4 wifes or gfs and the same with a women have as many partners as you want or can afford. I would get rid of the social construct that some clothes are mens and some are women's and if you went to buy clothes anywhere it would just be that clothes. Buy what you want and wear want you feel good in or happy in.

What little accounts I had, are deleted. But unless you decided to live with a polar bear in the Artic circle, you can't escape it.

Pick up a newspaper, the old media is obsessed with new (social) media and every opinion piece references it, especially with respect to younger reporters.

Turn on a TV. Every program is hashtag this and hashtag that. More and more airtime devoted to hearing what Malachy in Nobber thinks about the vaccine rollout on twitter. Have your say. Check the twitter machine! What does Nuala in Skibbereen think about molecular physics, it's crucial we know.

Politics - What has been said on social media? What's the latest earth shattering tweet? What incendiary remark has been made by which attention seeking bubblehead today?

Meet people in a pub or just go on public transport....... Conversations stifled by social media scrolling zombies. People becoming so unpracticed in human interaction that to disturb them from their Facebook account elicits a look of terror.

I haven't even started on how social media is undermining western democracy and is a key reason why follies like Trump and Brexit were vomited up.

Deleting my accounts don't really solve any of these!

There is another thread where someone is always engaged in conversation by old women on the bus. If they don't come to you, sit beside one of them and spark up a conversation. The art of conversation at home and in pubs was killed off by television decades ago.

You can choose to ignore most of that to be fair. I wouldn't stay in someone's company if they stared at their phones while im trying to talk to them, most people have enough manners not to do that.

id say facebook, twitter and the like are actually good for seeing what people are really like and avoiding them.

bertiebomber

greta thurnberg to go plus all the EU parliament salaries they should do the job for average wage then they might have people who care about their countries rather than the big salaries and the special perks to vote in certain ways !! If the jobs of politicians were for less wages we would get better folk who are not motivated by greed but by loyalty to the country

mormons had that suited the female aswell as if not bothered it was "go pester another today".
4 or 5 "wives" limits disease spread and always one female seeks attention (sods law all "ON" at
same time lol). politicians are the ones who put an end to that as patriachial fear of female having
"support" of many males could alter their patriachial empires.
humans born either male or female and my experience of life is the female of species is the most
jealous and vindictive and unless as mormons"religion" driven, females dont like to share whilst males
are by nature seed spreaders

The difference here is they are partners not some poor girl that has been trafficked and is been forced to have sex against her will with a load of men by some kingpin so he can make money. Makes me sick.

We kinda did that already in the 20th century. If you picture your class at school when you were a kid, well in 1800 about a third of them would have been dead before 18.

Nah, the gender pronoun stuff is today's mostly adolescents looking for self and group identity and belonging(and being different from the old). Instead of being mods, goths, rockers, punks whatever, they're Ze/Zir/non binary/two spirit etc. You'll have a few hang onto it like you see old rockers and punks from time to time, but it'll pass like all such social fashions do.

Keep: Nature, animals and fast cars

Get rid: social media nobodies like Vogue Williams, Una Healy and the Kardashians. Basically, anyone who thinks the world revolves around them and their massively over-rated and ignorant opinions.

If Covid 19 has one positive, its putting the likes of the above Z Listers at the absolute bottom (hopefully soon kicked off) the list of things people give an absolute fcuk about. In a year when people had to say goodbye to their dying relatives by Facetime without a final kiss, a year when people are losing their jobs, houses and mental health- reading about what Una Healy thinks of her body is pretty irrelevant by comparison.

in the case of females more open to activity and less using their power to be choosey -- there would be no
need for prostitution,

Religion. It has been misused for all sorts of nefarious purposes down through the centuries and has inflicted misery on many. As an added bonus, it'd get rid of radical atheists as well.

They reckon we will reach peak population by 2050, some even say 2030. After that the Earth's population is going to fall off a cliff. There'll be no need for any intervention.
