Like I said, all idiots are needed to waste their money on things, boosting the economy. Now, the only idiot there is that produces no real benefit to anything would be Mr. George W. Bush.

The destruction of portable consoles would severely hinder the creative market, especially with how many various developers actually pretty much make their money through the portable market. If it weren't for the portable console, games such as Tetris wouldn't have gained as much public acclaim as they have today.
There's other examples too, some more obvious than others.

Those would still cause problems if removed. The DS has actually broken new ground in the handheld market, the PSP, not so much.

Fine. New idea. McDonalds. You cannot argue with that.

Sadly, I can.
McDonalds is the cornerstone of the modern-day fast food industry, sure, today it might be able to be obliterated, but also take a look at the amount of jobs and labor that would be lost from doing so? That would harm the economy further than it already is. They might produce slime and garbage these days, but they still do provide many people with jobs and employment.

Yes, but Subway does the same thing, and it's more healthier, so, all we have to do is wait for Subway to rival McDonalds in the fast food buisness, then all McDonald's workers can go work at Subway.

And what makes you think that Subway will ever compare to the fast food giant that is McDonalds?

Because a lot of people have stopped eating McDonalds and now eat at Subway, even the damn Chavs...

That alone though isn't going to help Subway overtake McDonalds. McDonalds has also been attempting to change their own styles as well, you may have noticed some changes in their menu yourself. Sure it may not be as direct as Subway, but it's the effort they put into it that is keeping their business up. Sure they've lost some business, but if Subway ever wants to compete with McDonalds, they're going to have to open up their menu to a much wider audience, as well as be able to compete with McDonalds' prices.

Do you mind explaining your viewpoint? Otherwise it's going to be considered a baseless declaration? ;D
I think I know where you'll go with this, but let's see what happens.

Racism kills the economy. If you call a black person a....well...y'know, then that enspires him to tell his friends, who end up hating white people, who then turn into gangsters and we end up with 50 cent. I'm not saying they're all gansters, just racism can cause it...

While much of that may be true, some forms of racism can also be argued as beneficial, even if still considered inhumane at the time. For instance, much of that which was made in the early middle ages was made by slaves and people whom were different, whether they were prisoners, slaves, or convicts, these same people, whether by their debt to society or by the crack of the whip, built the foundations of that which we live on today.
