I like where you guys are all headed here, but lets be honest. You're all wrong.
The correct answer here, and my
Round 2, pick #3 is
Abuse.
What's wrong with the internet? The various ways that people abuse it. Porn, over-reliance, molestation, replacement of friends/family/lifestyles.
What's wrong with being a dictator? Abusing your power to your own benefit to the detriment of those that you lead.
What's wrong with extremists? (Often) Abusing their political ideologies to the harm of others.
What's wrong with religion? (A lot of things...) but many of them surround the notion of abusing power in one form or another. Through convincing people to act one or another, to believe one thing or another.
War is arguably only bad because of the abuse of killing as a means to an end. Killing 1 person can be often agreed upon as the right thing to do. If killing 1 person is the right thing, then it would stand to reason that killing 2 people, or 3 people might also be the right thing. It becomes a problem when someone (or a group of someones) abuses their power to kill more people than was 'correct' in the larger picture.
In the end most things in life are not inherently good or evil, but it is their abuse that makes them evil.
