What would you like to see less of in 2005

The other day i was drinking a beer with my old friend whitey and we started talking about things we're tired of seeing and would like to see less of in the new year. These were things that are basically being forced on us that we don't have much control over. We asked about 10--14 people the same question , all of different ages and gender and got some really surprising answers . Most of the older guys said "girls with big bellys with belly button rings with a short shirt on " and the younger girls said "people driving and talking on their phone" That one threw me for a loop.
Mine personally is Reality tv shows, they're everywhere. So i thought i would ask some people here to find out what you would like less of in 05

Less war, more peace, obviously. Im tired of all the war and death and destruction

I want to see fewer international tragedies as well. Has anyone noticed that each year seems to be getting suckier and suckier in the world?

 

It just seems that way. As time goes by we forget things, and the only thing on our mind is the current. (except major things such as 9/11, etc)

 

I want to see less of the technology being put into graphics cards, as i can't afford to keep up.

 

chavs... come on, it had to be said sooner or later

 

It would be nice if everyone drank a bit less in 2005, tbh.

EDIT: And if the couod cut Eastenders off the TV, that would be nice too. Lowest Common Denominator TV.

 

i want less reality tv shows

 

fuel duty(petrol tax) lets give less to those robbing abstards.

 

i'd like the see myself less single for the new year ohh and less broke

 

Less tax, less of Tony Blair, less of the Government. Less of Rip-Off Britain, Less War, Less Terrorists, Less of all the bad things.

 

Less war, poverty and CHAVS!

 

The removal of Fox news "Fair and Balanced" slogan.

 

Smoking in pubs.

9/11 god damnit, its a mear few thousand people. get over it. (bloody yanks funded IRA which did more over a longer time period)

media trying to be so damn melodramatic. (Ch4 news is the only good one left now in the uk)

people moping about fox hunting, as if its important 50 foxes been battered a week, more children in this country get abused than foxes.

#5: Any celebrity who thinks because they can suposidly act, they are experts in politics
#6: My x-wife
#7: Michael Jackson
#8: Janet Jackson
#9: Howard Stern

Now, for WHAT I'd like to see less of:

#1: Ignorance and arrogance
#2: Tech jobs moving to India
#3: Technology outgaining my wallet
#4: Unaccountability within our education system (yea, I know it's a double-negative)
#5: Predjudice and favoritism in the courts
#6: US bashing
#7: Secular attacks on Christian beilifs and ideals
#8: Violance, sex, graphic language and suggestive content on broadcast tv

Not necessarilly in that order mind you

 

No, I love the Eastenders. It goes every saturday 8am-1pm on channel 26 WETA USA.

I agree. It is getting a little ridiculous with all these new ones coming out that are not even close to being interesting.

 

So your saying you like the willy but not the bush
