1) If you could.
If you could eliminate three things on earth, what would they be, and why? Please keep this mature, guys. Don't name anyone on these forums. You can name a celebrity, or political power, any object (animate or inanimate).
In the novel, Tears of a Tiger , Gerald has to write about how he would change the world if he could. If you need to look at his essay for assistance it can be found on page 33.

The essay in "Tears of a Tiger"
If I could change the world I'd get rid of Peanut butter, Band-aids, and five dollar bills.
First, I'd get rid of peanut butter. When I was little, Peanut butter and jelly was my favorite kind of sandwich. Mama would fix it as a special treat and it always made my lunch box smell so good. But mama left and the peanut butter stayed. We get it free, so there's jars of it sitting around. Sometimes that's all there is.
I'd also get rid of Band-aids, for two reasons. One, they're beige. they say on the box, "skin tone" is the color of the bandages inside. Whose skin? Not mine! So I HATE wearing band-aids because they're so noticeable and people always question how I got hurt. I always have to make up a reason of how I got hurt.
Finally, I'd get rid of 5 dollar bills. with a five dollar bill, somebody's stepfather can buy a bottle of whiskey, a nickel bag of pot, or a rock of crack. He smokes it, or drinks it, and goes home and knocks his kids and wife around. My best friend bought a 6 pack of beer, or five dollars worth of death.

1:There are people that enjoy screamo music and it's not just those "emo" kids

3:Government needs these taxes,they go to alot of crucial parts of our country such as healthcare, education, public transport etc...
No offense, but I'm being a realist. All these people are putting war, we need war more than we need taxes, if you ever filed your own taxes, you'd understand, I doubt you have a job with that hair.
Local commercials unsaid because there talent is terrible, alot of people profit from it sure, but alot of people also profit off porn, and hitmen.
Screamo music is the most terrible genre, the bass sounds like a dying camel, the vocals sound like a dying human, I guarentee if you poll America, 70 percent would say it's terrible
