The mobile phone.
It would have been wonderful for the rare few in or travelling through long distance places.
But look how it's been abused by employers and random irritating cold callers.
To say nothing of the industry it spawned, creating limited life electronic trash worthless within five years so causing the customer to constantly shell out for ever more.

@Picklebobble2 they probably have saved many lives. When we were in a car accident in September Ray’s phone called 9-1-1 and a fire truck with a medic was there within 5 minutes (it was about a half mile from the fire station). I put that same app on mine because I was so flustered and walking in circles I couldn’t even dial 9-1-1 at the time. The accident totaled both cars and I had just had surgery to remove an adrenal gland 7 days before.

@bijouxbroussard i was walking through a park near my apartment at 7am this morning. there are about a dozen homeless people that camp out there. there was this one guy in the middle of the parking lot higher than a kite, hunched over with his pants falling down. pretty sad sight to see, especially since i don't live downtown in the big city ...my city used to be much nicer
bijouxbroussard · F
@beermeplease My city was once much nicer, too. People who don’t live here make jokes about it. But the origins of our homeless problem stem from our state hospital system (to which people from all over the country were sent or chose to go), which was privatized under Governor Reagan. So, all of a sudden, people who couldn’t pay were sent to halfway houses or dumped out on the street.

@bijouxbroussard very similar circumstance here....we shut down our mental institution because of high costs. much rather see my tax dollars help my own people out rather than send billions to war ravaged and third world countries...i'm all for helping those people out but we really should look after our own first

@Patriot96 This comment should be tolerated? How Western centric are you? You are a piece of work, but I'll get the downvote for how discriminatory this is and lacking of empathy.... continue the hate, you have your forum.

@SageWanderer agreed. It’s causing a huge mental health issue increase in youngsters.

@SageWanderer I remember being paged on the job while driving and having to find a phone booth—in the rain. So cell phones were a blessing.
Unfortunately, the nature of people is that some will abuse any advantage.

Makeup… it contributes to the degradation of women throughout all of history.
I know beautiful women who do not feel beautiful without it because somebody else told them that they weren’t and they believe them.
The fact that women don’t value themselves and men don’t value women without make up…
Weak minds all around!

Money. When it was invented and Wall St created a thousand shrouds to not see compassion, we lost the art of humanity, but I'll let those below focus upon religion..... geesh this world has gone mad when it complains while the root of problems is lack of equality, access, kindness, compassion.... and we can just continue hate for all the things we can not control, brilliant!

@Houdini I may well do. 👍

If you post anything on here that the person that died chose to continue consuming or experimenting with… you are the enabler that killed the person that you “say you loved“
If someone that you love died consuming the thing that you are accusing “the thing that killed them” but you did nothing about it… you are an enabler and just as guilty as a cigarettes, or the Diet Coke or the Pepsi or the alcohol or the big Mac they killed you loved one.

@Osogris And many do try, in vain, to do something about it. I had that situation with my sister.Type 1 diabetes, turned into type 2 by guzzling down sugared soda and sunny d until she wound up in a coma, tracheotomy from COPD, and more. No matter how much you try, some people are just too determined and self destructive.

@beermeplease I say that as someone who has one and is not against gun ownership.

@Starcrossed
Gun, sword, spear, club, rock…
Or how about the lack of respect for human life?
There is nothing produced that is evil…what is evil is “why” something was produced.
