  • The worst invention in the history of mankind.

    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.

      Um... it probably prevented WW3 between the US and USSR, so I'd say the atom bomb was a good invention in the end.

            but if we had no atom bomb, what would be the likelyhood of us getting into ww3? we could have had an arms race/standoff with conventional weapons.

              And most convential arms races lead to war. Witness the naval race between Britain and Germany prior to WW1. There is no doubt that without the threat of atomic annihilation the USSR and US would have met on a battlefield in Eastern Europe. The 'bomb' was a guard against that, because there was always the fear that the opposition may use it if things became too dire.

                  OW needs to go back to his Nat'l Geographic collection and see what breasts look like when they don't use them.

                  No, I did not steal that from somebody on Something Awful.

                    But seriously....

                    I cant think of any invention. I'd say the "consumer society" as it is today.
