Word Processor Of the Gods

Assuming that deleting something would not change the course of things, I'd like to get rid of hatred and intolerance. I would then insert kindness and understanding and the ability to embrace differences. Oh, and I'd love to delete Twitter and the media's love of creating cutsy couple names like "Brangelina" and such.

I myself would delte Monday mornings.

I know its a terrible thing to say but think about how bad world hunger would get then. It like that terrible movie with Ashton Kutcher, the Butterfly Effect. One deletion leads to the increase of something else bad. Unless it deletes Ashton Kutcher, then I guess its worth it.

I would delete any chain reaction resulting from the deletion of crime and disease and murder and wars and world hunger and Ashton Kutcher. No wait...

Yeah then its like the pie equation. A never ending spiral of bizarro Ashtons, who seek out and marry all the older women of the world and all the channels on tv would play 70s show reruns. See, word processor just ended out race as intelligent beings.

hunger,hate,anger and jealousy

i would like to say that i would delete all sorts of nasties from the world but knowing my luck and computer skills it would lock up on me and while i was clicking merrily to get it back delete myself!!

nicolas cage would be on my hit list tho

The thing that bugged me about the story is how much unexplored potential it had. Seems quite evident to me that the typewriter did more then just delete things or else it wouldn't of brought back his umm, ex-wifes picture on the wall. Unless that only happened because it preexisted, yet there is no saying if that is the case since the damned machine broke down before he got anywhere near creative with it!

Anyways I would probably delete all but 10,000 and all the garbage we've created in terms industrial history, rid us of our worse impulses, write in a Utopian society in which our most despicable of habits have been weeded out and we share an egalitarian balance with the nature we are a part of.

Daylight Savings Time

I would very quickly type "Ghaddafi". And then I guess thousands of people would disappear because the name probably is not unique. That´t the problem with power - you need information and intelligence to use it :smile2:

Today, I would delete that announcement about who the actors are going to be for the DT series.
Not a funny joke (I hope, please)
