    Chelsea FC the obvious one.

    More relevant, less serious answers to follow.
    Sreesanth said, "Next ball he was beaten and I said, 'is this the King Charles Lara? Who is this impostor, moving around nervously? I should have kept my mouth shut for the next ball - mind you, it was a length ball - Lara just pulled it over the church beyond the boundary! He is a true legend."

    Fluoridisation. Contaminates our precious bodily fluids. Should only drink rainwater and grain alcohol.

    Personally, I think the world would be a better place were it more open-minded. I don't think people question their own opinions and beliefs enough. That's the only specific change that comes to mind that I'd like to make.

    Lack of seatbelts.

    Was having a "discussion" about this recently, about whether they should worn or not. Statistics vary between 40 and 60% effectiveness or so, but they all indicate that seatbelts save lives. What's the general consensus on here? What's the justification for not wearing a seatbelt? Is there any?

    Surely the idea of compulsory voting undermined democracy...or something.

    There is no justification for not wearing one. It is illegal in most places and they save lives. Yet I seldom do. Hard for me to reconcile that in my own head so I dont expect others to understand.

    Well if we really want to see a flame war then let me add multi-culturalism and see how mature people can be

    Awta.

    Take a look back at a small period, say the last 20 years and there's a stupid amount of war and deaths attributed to it.
    Now multiply that by at least 100 and you'll see how big an issue it's been.
