    Say you can erase one aspect from this world. What would you erase?

    ---

    War, obviously. War is a terrible invention of mankind, and I want it gone.

    I'd erase greed.

    So much stuff is corrupted and messed up because of it, so if people could stop thinking for themselves, and instead do what's right for everyone, it would be great. Of course, there's a difference between taking a job offer for yourself and cutting everyone else's paycheck to add to your own, so let's just cut out the greed that's unhealthy.

    I'd have to agree with you here, Slayr. I feel like the entire world has become so greedy that it's a bit scary. While I do believe that you have to look out for yourself, you don't have to push everyone aside doing so if that makes sense?
     
    Arrogance. It creates war, it creates destruction. Almost only bad things come from arrogance.
     
    The concept of currency. I hate money and I hate how everything in the world is determined by whether you have it or not. I haven't come up with an alternative, aside from the fanciful barter system of old, but that's still a concept of currency.
     
    Jeez, I was gonna say wasps but this thread got deep!

    I'd probably agree with greed, erase that and you erase the majority of the world's problems.
     
    Heeeeeey, getting rid of wasps/hornets/yellow jackets would be a wonderful thing for this world D=

    But what about all of the beautiful flowers? Dont forget its a mutual relationship. :)

    I agree with the others. I would remove greed. Greed, money, and the lust for power are almost always the root of evil. Imagine a world where power and money hungry people never existed. A world without Hitler and other horrible people. Or even on a more local level- no greedy and mean bosses.
     
    ****. I thought it was only bees that pollinated plants, but apparently that's not the case ;-;

    I am not 100% sure, so I would double check. I know wasps do help with bug control- sort of ironic.

    Why do you not like wasps, but dont mind bees?

    Bees are fat and fuzzy and usually stick to flowers but wasps/hornets/yellow jackets are evil and go out of their way to attack you =(
     
    War is not a uniquely human phenomenon.

    I'd erase superstition and the creed mentality — the chief cause (or causes; though I'd like to consider them as one thing here) of ignorance and hatred in our species.

    If I were a robot and my sole purpose programmed by you was to do what's right for everyone, I would end up bringing on mass extinction, that is killing everybody to free them from the pain they suffer everyday.
