What is the worst thing man has ever made?

[drivin_me_nuts]

Solitary confinement prison cells and torture.

Our cruelty to animals is nothing compared to what we do to each other.

[Ali Chappussy]

Facebook, Twitter and all the other social media sites.

Lot of people saying religion, but before law there was religion, which shaped modern society. Of course, nowadays, it seems to do more harm than good

Given that religion, nukes, drugs and Blair have already been mentioned, have corn syrup.

Yep, it's a bad thing to worship Keith Richard

Totally Religion.
It's the one thing that stands in the way of evolution. We can't progress forward as a species because of the mass of fkwits who are mentally incapable of handling that life is a one-time thing.

Pig gestation crates where the pigs are kept their entire lives unable to turn around. Whoever thought of this vile, torture device should be put into one and left.

I preferred it when i never knew such a thing existed to be honest. Horrible.

I never knew pigs were raised in this way. By any measure it is obscene.

I've no issue with religion, if not for religion the people who commit atrocities in it's name, would just find another justification for them, you could just as well claim National Borders are the worst thing ever - someone, a long time ago decided that this place belonged to this country and this place belonged to another - then someone else comes along and convinces the young men on one side of an intangible line kill the young men on the other because, well, whatever reason they can think of.

Money isn't bad per-se, money is just a mechanism for exchanging effort/skill/time, the badness of it comes when we (the human race) decided it was a good idea to use alchemy/magic to make £2 from £1 without adding effort/skill/time by manipulating markets and such. I think the way we manipulate the cost of housing (bought and rented) is particularly bad, we've taken a fundamental human need, possibly the most basic need of all, and twisted it to make those who have, more money without effort at the expense of those who haven't.

So my votes would be financial mechanisms which don't create real wealth, they just unfairly suck it from some and give to others, and National Borders, I think it's perverse to say they person a can do X and person b can't because they thought utter fluke were born in a different location.

Catalytic converter?

Has turned all that harmless carbon monoxide into toxic carbon dioxide that is killing the planet. Think of that on a global scale where every vehicle fitted with a cat is emitting an extra 10% of CO2...........<<silent pause>>

Horrible.

I am relieved to see on Wikipedia they are banned in Europe and increasingly elsewhere.

I had to Google that as I didn't believe it true. Glad it's on the way out (hopefully everywhere).

They're still in use in Denmark. (Guess where a lot the pork in the supermarkets comes from).
