Online forum users list the top 21 things they believe should be removed from the planet!

Ticks

“Just worthless little creature of the woods.”

“I pulled one off me as soon as the temp got up. Our property is heavily wooded, so we deal with them much of the year. They just suck!”

Scammers

“Especially those who target the vulnerable.”

“My grandpa lost 10k and nearly lost his apartment because of scammers. He still believed it wasn’t [a] scam when it was already obvious.”

Cancer

“I’m a cancer survivor, and I found out in the last 48 hours that my dad and wife have just been diagnosed. Fun times.”

“I had leukemia when I was 21 and did like four years of chemo. At one point, my grandma was like two doors down in the hospital having a hysterectomy from cancer.”

Paparazzi

“Paparazzi, I don’t care how [insert celebrity] dresses to get their mail.”

“I won’t lie, that one time Daniel Radcliffe dressed in the same outfit for a few months so that the paparazzi couldn’t use pictures of him because they would all be assumed to be taken the same day was pretty funny.”

Corporate Lobbying

“As long as US government officials are incentivized to favor the interests of the wealthy few, the rest of America will remain prisoner under a corporate oligarchy wearing democracy as a mask.

This is what the world becomes when the rights to the vital resources necessary for life are owned by for-profit industries following the economic policy of a cancer cell.”

24-Hour News

“24/7 news channels are legit the most exhaustingly negative stuff I’ve ever seen.”

“Taking a news piece that can be read in 2 minutes, but somehow stretching it out for hours with no new information.”

Nestlé

“I’m actually going on a no-Nestle boycott as of now, so good to know there’s a whole community right there with me!”

“It’s so hard when almost every product I pick up is Nestle. Especially Halloween candy!”

Animal Poachers

“Scum of the earth, and all the people who keep them in business.”

“I was going on a full rant about how legal hunters sometimes give more money to conservation causes and indirectly save more animals than many activist groups.”

Religious Persuasion

“The concept of ‘my god is better than yours.’ Let people have their faith and stop forcing your own faith on others.”

Corruption

“Just imagine how many problems could be solved if politicians actually cared about their constituents.”

Social Media

“Or 90% of the Internet, for that matter.”

“Their own research proved that they were causing depression and suicide rates to increase in teens – especially girls – and instead of changing their model, they suppressed the report.”

Influencers

“And I don’t just mean the modern type of social media influencer. I mean any person or organization that puts out a message that implies that because you don’t own a certain unnecessary item or do a certain unnecessary thing, then you are somehow deficient.”

 Bedbugs

“Mosquitos feed thousands of wildlife species, and their extinction would cause ecological collapse. The only thing that feeds on bedbugs are cockroaches; they’d do just fine without them.”

Religious Fanaticism

“I’ll concede that religious teachings can bring peace to someone’s life, but it stops at THEIR life. Keep your religion away from everyone else who does not subscribe to your newsletter, and go away with condemning anyone who disagrees with it.”

Online Misuse

“Sets unhealthy expectations all around and can ruin relationships.”

“I wholeheartedly agree! I’m not [a] prude or against those kinds of workers at all. I just have noticed how many people are getting addicted to it and how many divorces it has caused.”

Corporate Personhood

Image Credit: Shutterstock.

“A business can’t go to prison, it can’t die a mortal death like you or me, and it is not an individual that can be made to atone for its wrongdoings. A corporation does not suffer and does not scream in agony or terror when its existence is threatened.”

Billionaires

“Once your personal worth hits 999 million, you get a big trophy that says ‘I won Capitalism,’ and then every penny more that you earn goes directly into welfare programs for the underprivileged.”

Salaciousness

Image Credit: Shutterstock.

“The Salaciousness of this age. I believe much depression in younger people (boys and girls) is due to role models that create unrealistic expectations.”

People

Image Credit: Shutterstock.

“I opened the thread expecting ‘humans’ to be the most upvoted comment. Amazed that I had to scroll so far.”

“Humanity is a plague!”

Abusers

Image Credit: Shutterstock.

“Abusers. Drug abusers. Child abusers. Spouse abusers. Animal abusers.”

Rupert Murdoch’s Media Empire

“It’s a negative force in every market they operate in, and you can tell because they aren’t in every anglophone market.”
