    Humans are what is wrong with Planet Earth! As was quite aptly put across in The Matrix;

    Quote:

    I'd like to share a revelation that I've had during my time here. It came to me when I tried to classify your species.

    I realized that you're not actually mammals. Every mammal on this planet instinctively develops a natural equilibrium with the surrounding environment, but you humans do not. You move to an area, and you multiply, and multiply, until every natural resource is consumed.

    The only way you can survive is to spread to another area. There is another organism on this planet that follows the same pattern. A virus. Human beings are a disease, a cancer of this planet, you are a plague, and we are the cure.

    Firm,
    Airplanes are evil? How? Also on your list are: bosses, commerce, emigration, fads, frustration, helicopters, landfills, roadkill, ugliness, How are all these things social evils?

    Well I meant things like animal cruelty, weapons, but I can't think of much else even though there are endless topics...
