$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('GeneralGreen', '[')b]I won't miss
1. Multiculturalism!
2. Obese Wal Mart shoppers
3. Rap and most of the other depraved music
4. Modern art-and modern architecture
5. Million dollar sports players and singers. "Tiger Woods a billionaire to play a past time game??" Lybron James throws a ball into a hoop and makes 1,000 X more money then a brain surgeon??
6. Welfare people, and people who are too lazy to work! ie people who use the system. "in the 1700s if a women had a baby and couldn't support it..the child was sold as an indentured servant....The state didn't pay the women a free apt, money, food stamp ect...
7. Fundamentalism-Christianity- I hope this crap dies off with the die off! And their million dollar evangelist with them!
8. Stupid TV- crap like- Ellen Degenerate Show- American Idol-Opera Wiphey's-ect...
9. Liberal people- people who love diversity! I prey to god these people get a taste of their own medicine..."For example in the UK they took in 100,000 gypsies in the past 2 years...I hope they spread out to all liberal areas of the UK and when the people are poor and destitute they can know just why people in Eastern Europe never wanted these people..
10. Supporting and Assisting the 3rd world....ie 1st world nations helping to increase the population of these people...where if left to mother nature their would have never been to these levels..

Factory farmed meat. I eat meat occassionally still, but those poor animals, I shudder just considering. I hope peak oil wipes them out of business and off the planet all-together.

Yeah, light and noise pollution in general should be dialed down considerable from now on. That will be a very nice change.

Well I won't miss fat people hehe, sure they are the symptom rather than the cause of the disease, but still. No one really likes fat people. I won’t miss the brainwashing of people either, today most people are connected to the "grid" and they get their opinions from the grid, when the grid starts to go down people will have to start forming their own opinion of things. Might be hard for some but overall it will do a world of good. I won’t miss the over industrialization of things either, I mean animals today really are treated like products rather then something that lives and breathes. Sure we will still eat meat after the downfall but the worst kinds of animal factories will hopefully go away. I can accept some of the things humans does to each other but that doesn’t make it right to take it out on every living thing on the planet.

TV - I haven't watched my TV in over a month. I've taken myself off the bloody thing and don't miss it. I've gone back to reading again, which I missed doing.

Large Cars and SUVS - Always hated them. In fact, I hate all cars. I like my bicycle just fine. And horses are always fun. Plus I'm scared to death of being killed in a car accident, so I do my best to either ride, walk, or take the bus.

Large wasteful houses - McMansions, what a waste of money, land, and materials. I've always liked the idea of a compact home filled with books, not useless shit.

Airplanes - Same reason as cars for the most part. To scared of crashing and dying, the people on them. Rather take a bus if I'm going to travel a long distance.

Desktop Comps - Get a laptop or mini comp (like the MiniMac) and use solar power for it. Desktops use up so many damn electricity.

Noise - Thankfully there isn't much where I live, so I get to hear the Owls and Cyot's. Younger people seem to think they are deaf, and feel the need to blast their music (especially while in a car) it's beyond annoying. I don't need to hear your shit.

Malls - I haven't been to a mall in three years. Don't miss it. Mostly sells useless shit and the food there is expensive.

All I have right now, head hurts, going to bed. :cry:

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('seldom_seen', 'A')nother vote for leaf blowers.

To see a grown man with an engine strapped to his back blowing dust around a parking lot, whilst spewing out a cloud of exhaust and annoying the hell out of anyone in earshot is a pathetic sight, and testament to what a depraved lot we've become.

Why is it annoying and pathetic for a person to do useful work?
Somebody has to blow the leaves and dust out of the way to keep the city clean.
