This world would be a great place, filled with love and tolerance,
if it weren't for white people. And black people. And brown people and yellow people and red people.

And straights. And gays.

And bi's.

And religious people. And atheists. And agnostics (especially them!).

And Europeans. And Africans. And Asians. And Americans (North and South). And those damned Australians.

And repukes. And Democrats. And "democrats" too--most of all "democrats."

And old people. And young people. And middle aged people. And those damned children.

I think we can all agree, harmonious peace would reign if not for all the above.

1. So you're saying that the world would be a better place without people...
I couldn't agree more.

:silly:

3. certainly more harmonious and peaceful.
There would be no bigotry if all those groups of "them" would just go away.

10. or stop hate and intolerance and start removing groups from that list...
AFTER we get rid of all the repukes, of course.

11. And how do we, as a human race, "stop hate and intolerance"?
How do we stop human nature?

Getting rid of the repukes won't solve anything. There's plenty of intolerance right here.

13. And who is going to convince my wife about this new world order?
"Honey? Honey. It's for the good of the planet. Don't you want to eradicate intolerance?"

2. My two cats would still fight and cats and dogs of course - lets get rid of animals too

:toast: Plant life generally appears tolerant but they sometimes sabotage other species as well - so maybe if we get rid of the plants too? Inanimant objects like rocks we can keep - rocks are good.

6. I was in a small town coffee shop while traveling thru Delaware
An old timer came in and spotted an acquaintance.

"So Ted, hows the world treatin' ya?"

"Well Mike, the world's treatin' me OK, but it's the people in it that suck."

7. Reminds me of the "Cheers" exchange when Norm comes into
the bar.

The bartender asks him, "How's life treating you, Norm?"

"Like a baby treats a diaper."

9. Then there's this one
"Life has never treated me. I've always had to pay for everything I get."
