10 Things I Could Do Without!

I often wonder what the world would be like without certain nuisances in them. I also wonder if not having them around would actually be a good thing as we might not appreciate the positive aspects of life. In any case, here's my list of 10 things I could definitely do without!

(These are in no particular order)

10.  Michele Bachmann, Rick Perry, Rick Santorum, Mitt Romney and Newt Gingrich (Or maybe just the entire Conservative Republican Party)

Do I really need to say why I could do without them? I think we all know why. 

9.  Almost All INSECTS & SPIDERS

I wouldn't say I have arachnophobia, but if there were varying degrees of fear it would be probably be a 9 out of 10 for spiders. And let's be honest, all other insects are just an annoyance. Who wants mosquitos, cockroaches, beetles, flies, etc?

8. Taxes

Paying no taxes would save us all a lot of money. It would not be beneficial to our government but who wouldn't want a tax free America?

7. Lindsay Lohan, Justin Bieber, Kim Kardashian & Miley Cyrus

I'm sick of these people being in the news and reading their names on the internet nearly 3-4 times daily. We don't need the music of Justin Beiber and Miley Cyrus polluting our airwaves. And we certainly don't need to hear about the re-occurring drama that is the lives of Lindsay Lohan & Kim Kardashian.

6. Cigarettes & Smokers

Why anyone still smokes knowing what is known is beyond me.  I don't really care if you do it in your home, in your backyard or in an area where I'm not present, but try not to pollute others lungs on top of your own. 

5. Inequality

It's frightening that it still is so prevalent in America having had so many blunders with it in the past that we've come to regret. I guess we aren't learning from history? 

4. Cords & Wires

We're not far away from wireless energy transmission (and I can't wait)! Wires/Cords are a huge annoyance of mine! http://web.mit.edu/newsoffice/2006/wireless.html

3. Diseases

Ridding certain diseases forever is also a possibility someday with genetic engineering and the discovery of new cures. We're far away from seeing an end-all, but we can at least expect the end of some soon. 

2.  Global Warming

If this picture doesn't make you sad about global warming, then you're pretty heartless. Global warming is real, it's happening and it's not getting better. 

1. Criminals/War/Terrorism/Pedophiles/Animal Abusers/etc

I lump these all into one because each is equally as disturbing and unwanted as the other. They all make me sad and disturb me. We live in a world with  a lot of positivity but with that comes a very dark side unfortunately. 

What could you do without? Really?
