If you could ban just one thing, what would it be?

Imagine you were ruler of the Earth and had the power to ban just one thing, what would it be?

This is difficult as there are so many worthy things like poverty, infant mortality, malaria, Aids, polluted water or atmosphere, war or famine to name but a few.

Bringing it down to a personal level, I think it would have to be the whole parking department and wardens who issue tickets.

What would you ban ? 

smoking

domestic violence against anyone, including children, women etc!

But baning would not just make things go away, it will make ut go underground...

No I think that when I said banning, it would vanish for ever. Please Tony I love cigarettes.

I know you said one but there are too many things that need to be banned

Crime

Racism

Reality TV (Most)

Just to name a few

I definitely agree.

I'd ban Secret Societies

I would like to see abuse of people and animals vanish. Child abuse, domestic abuse,and animal abuse.

I wish I could wave my magic wand and eliminate child abuse.

I would ban

Hatred

Poverty

Cruelty

monopolies.

Hatred... :/ that would take away 99999% of the world's problems

Too many things to name /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

Lack of compassion / empathy would be one of them.

I would love to see tobacco and high fructose corn syrup banned. 

I would eliminate lack of empathy/understanding. If people stopped burying their head in the sand and look around, we could avoid some problems.

Like many others posted, abuse against anyone or anything!

animal abuse

if you could literally make it vanish and it would be as if it never existed, I'd have to choose rape of any kind.

animal abuse 

poverty (which includes food, shelter and every child should have a chance to go to school)
