A body builder is more useless than a bum. A bum produces nothing, but he barely eats anything either.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 7076757


You have over simplified..

A body builder could actually be vegan, and thus make less impact on earth than a usual meat eater.
In a best case scenario.. the body builder will bring a gal much joy.
Thats more then you can say about the bum.

Re: What is the most useless profession in the world?
Well in the Twilight Zone "the state" decided that the job of being a librarian was pretty useless as no one read any books any more. So they decided the librarian was an obsolete man.

I wonder how long that will take to be true, as people can just download a book?

I've been a store greeter before and people look at me with pity or they look at me like I am mentally challenged or something. I have to relieve the greeters when they take their lunch break.

I've had people jokingly say "Don't work too hard," or "I don't want to take your prop," when I offer them a cart. Yeah, most of the time it just looks like I am there to prop the wall up or something.

I do try to smile and greet people, but it does kind of feel foolish and I wonder if I make any difference at all.
The company says greeters create a friendly atmosphere that makes people want to come back, but I don't know.

Re: What is the most useless profession in the world?
I don't really like the term useless eater though. I don't know where you are really going with this.

Do you believe that it would ever be ok to terminate someone who you deem to be burden to society?

I believe that there are people who are a burden to society, but one can never be sure that these people will always continue to be so.

Also, the sick, old, or mentally challenged can not help being so. If we eliminated all the sick, old, or mentally challenged it would not end there. We'd find we still have differences in belief, differences in skin color, and differences in mental ability. There are also differences in weight and in beauty.


I know there are people in the world who think that way and it is scary to me.

Perhaps we will one day have a society like in the twilight zone episode where it says something like "Number 12 looks just like you."

When we have eliminated all the sick, old, and mentally challenged, then we have to start eliminating the ugly and overweight.

Then once everyone looks decent that still won't be enough because some people will still look a bit plain. Not ugly but just not interesting enough.

Sooner or later mostly everyone would look the same and think the same.

Then we'd be no better off than a bunch of ants.

Re: What is the most useless profession in the world?
Anyways, here's the answer - you guys ready?? Here it is... here it comes...


A body builder. Yes, that's right, a body builder. Body builders produce ZERO wealth yet consume the most. They are not only useless eaters, they produce the most negative wealth. A banker for instance produces zero wealth, but he doesn't consume 600 grams of protein a day just so he can look sculpted. None of the muscle body builders use goes towards producing any wealth, all muscle is used only for building more muscle! Biggest useless eater ever.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 7076757


Then welfare mom wins as they do nothing but spit out 20 kids, each sucking up net wealth and spitting out 20 more kids. Suddenly you have 400 negative wealth producers and several of them will no doubt be bodybuilders.

Here's another one. Any professional athlete.
 Quoting: Hawgzilla


Yes, that's correct too, but body builders take the cake because they consume more than all athletes.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 7076757


I would have said professional athletes, too. At least a body builder gives us information on what you body can/will look like when certain moves are taken to extremes. Professional athletes just guzzle booze, screw women, and make a few million for playing a game.

Re: What is the most useless profession in the world?
If the powers that be ever determine to start eliminating what they call the useless eaters, I can bet like 99% of everyone you know and most importantly including yourself, would be on that list.

You'd have to have a super genius I.Q, be fluent in many languages and have very little body fat. You'd have to be nearly perfect in beauty with no "defects" whatever that is determined to be.

Of course, they themselves, the elite or the chosen ones or whatever, they will overlook their own faults for the good of mankind. Because of course, whatever their own flaws are can be overlooked, because somehow they have something magical in their blood line or some junk like that.

Anyway, perfection is ever what they decide that day, and you ain't ever going to be it.

Politicians. They don't do anything. Just a waste of Tax Payer's money. All they do is suppose to represent the people. Instead, they represent the business which has hijacked our Government.

Govt is TOO big. And it's a complete waste.

Body builders tend to have other jobs. Arnold used to move furniture with his body building friends before he got famous.

Yes and no.

If a job is created to give someone a job, and keep them from being homeless, or becoming a criminal, then no profession is "useless".
