The real Seven Deadly Sins are...?

Asked by Aethelflaed (13755points) August 21st, 2011

Inspired by this joke: The real Seven Deadly Sins are bullying, nun-rape, bad tipping, spam, owning a ferret, “Hot enough for ya?” jokes, and Scientology.

What would you make the real Seven Deadly Sins?

I think the Seven Deadly sins are pretty good as they are. In fact, it might do our society in America good to learn about them. Not in a religious sense, but just from a philosophical sense.

If we cannot use any of them for the purposes of this question then I will say, Hate, Prejudice, Processed Foods, Chemical Dependency, Abuse, Extremism, Gossip.

@ucme I always thought they were called unibrows…monobrow. That sounds cool. I pluck it, but I got one of those. :D

I can’t think of anything as good as all the answers here, so I’ll just add, being a bunghole.
