If you could un-invent anything...

[Keylaleigh]

...what would it be?

When un-inventing something, you take an object or concept and make it so that it never exists. don't think about the consequences, because they wouldn't exist in the un-invented world.

For example: I'd un-invent the concept of feminine beauty (women have to wear bras, shave, wear fitted/tight clothing, etc...) mostly because I find half of those concepts to be unnecessary and/or uncomfortable. If women want to do those things, they can, but it is not the norm.

hmm. this is a tricky one...

i think i'd probably uninvent magazines. especially womens magazines and lads mags. :S

Black Friday I would un-invent it completely the world would be a safer place without it.

[ecco]

what the hell is black friday? o.o;

[Maeve]

I think it's related to Thanskgiving, like the Friday before, where all the stores make huge sales and people run like crazy chicken to get everything they need for the Holiday...

[Tsemara]

Black friday is a marketing "term" if you will. It a day that businesses have outrageous sales/deal/whatever in hopes to get back into the black. "In the black" means that they are gaining a profit, to offset the cost of being open. They have bills and other crap to pay. Being "in the red", would mean that they are loosing money just by being open, because no one is buying anything.

I hope that helps.

ahh i already knew the black/red thing due to the ammount of adverts on tv over here for companies that help people get out of debt, but thanks for the explanations guys... the name makes a lot of sense aha.

i wonder why would you want to un-invent it, though? (not disagreeing it'd be a good thing, just curious as to the reasoning)

[Weaseldale]

Well, Koyi works in Walmart, and it gets INSANE there, so... that's probably why. xD

Of course, I could be completely off. ^^;;

[ecco]

ooohhhh i see... XD i actually enjoyed working in retail around christmas.

crazyness = need more staff = i get more hours = i get more money.

HUZZAH!

[Sly]

Well, I work in fast food...and I hate the holidays and the tons of hungry shoppers they bring.

[KoyiTar]

Yes I work retail I wasn't necessarily meaning the marketing term. I mostly mean whoever came up with the idea to have sales the day after Thanksgiving needs to be taken out and shot multiple times.

I laugh out loud at everything that was posted before thiss.... Except for the post in yellow because of my crappy quality on my tv from my Wii I could only make out the word walmart XD

Its ok though because I can see it on the comp. laters.

If I could uninvent something.. I would uninvent... the clock. I dont see why people are so hung up over being on time! I mean.. I wish we could all just live without timing ourselves, you know?

[Keylaleigh]

I can definitely understand that, Lexi.

And I wish I could feel your pain, Koyi, but I cannot. My crazy time starts the week after new year's. That's when a TON of parents drop their kids off to work on the new year's resolution that never lasts more than a few weeks.
The joys of working at a YMCA daycare...

oh god, how i wish the world worked without TIME.
im practically NEVER on time for anything. im always late.

[Koru]

I would un-invent... rap... Like i love music! but that... is not music
