Also I don't want/need any sleep time so we'll let donkey have whatever he wants on that too.

Round 1, Pick 1: The Internet

The internet can do magnificent things. It can bring far away people closer together, give people instant access to almost everything at the touch of a button. But if things come too easily then the satisfaction of figuring something out is removed.

Take away the internet and you turn guys like this:


into guys like this:



The average person will be more productive, more capable and more useful to their community and society as a whole. Sedentary lifestyles will turn into active, healthy ones and quality of life will go up.

Everything I've said so far assumes that the internet is a positive thing, albeit a time suck. But there are bad things on the internet too...

Insomnia, infidelity and moral corruption have all increased with the popularisation of the internet. So many people will cheat using dating sites and pirate a movie that would never dream of doing so if they couldn't use tinder and TPB to help them do it from the comfort of their own home.

The family unit has also been weakened by the internet. Everyone Snapchatting instead of chatting and Facebooking instead of speaking face to face.

Excessive amounts of porn readily available on the internet ruins young relationships. In the 60s a blowjob would have blown some 16 year old's mind (and his job) but now 12 year olds can see girls with 2 dicks in their ass 24/7.

Then there's the fact that everything that gets on the internet is permanently there for all to see. Think how much **** you got away with in your younger days and realise how ****ed you'd be if it was available for all employers, family members and prospective love interests to see. That drunken night out where you threw up on a girl as you kissed her and then pissed yourself wouldn't be so easy to sweep under the carpet nowadays. Young people have actually killed themselves because of things like this.

Then there's the really bad stuff. Fraud, child porn, grooming, cyber bullying, invasion of privacy, black market trading, terrorism and radicalisation.

Team donkey biscuits believe that the bad outweighs the good and the world would be a better place without the internet. Put down the tablet and pick up a book instead!

Round 1 Pick 3

I'm going to get rid of a common yet evil practice that involves unwarranted social obligation, continual uncertainty, hard feelings all around, and the exploitation of the working class (in an effort to pander to our game mod).

Spoiler:


Tipping


Spoiler:
Here's a novel idea: price the cost of service into the service, and don't pawn it off on the customer to decide its value. If you're a worker, do your job motivated by the desire to do a good job and your salary, and not because you inwardly demand that some schmuck give you an extra 20% (because 15% just isn't enough).

When I go to a hotel room, I expect to be brought fresh towels as part of the cost of the hotel, I don't want to feel obligated to leave an extra $5 out for the housekeeper. Valet? Don't get me started. Just park the damn car already, it's not my problem you put your parking lot a half mile away.

Extremists

They're on all sides of the political spectrum. From marxist-communists to anarcho-capitalists, the extremists pollute any and every debate with their dogmatic, hypocritical, dangerously flawed line of thinking.

Motivated, influential and on the rise, the extremists are a plague that needs to be erased from the world.

Hey Birdman,
Can we have a gentlemen's collaboration so I can maybe submit both my answers in case I'm at work when it gets to me?

A "gentlemen's collaboration" would be a great colloquialism for certain communities.
