Based on a little something we hard to do at work...

For whatever reason, youhave been granted the power of a non-descript God for 24 hours.  Great!

However, you must choose a contintent to be completely destroyed, without a trace.  Being a God, you must remain completely impartial in regards of where you live, who lives there, and religion, after all, this isn't a D&ST topic.

Everything that happens is based on cause and effect.  Pick a continent you would destroy, and your impartial reasons why.

Africa, no more bitching about aids & HIV that 90% of the population has. No more sending money to help them which never arrives in the right place and because no one cares.

Cause and effect: You kill the majority of the world.  A god is only powerful if he has a strong following, otherwise there would not be a god.  You would cease to exist.  Also, Asia is a massive continent, you would be removing a large chunk of natural resources, making survival harder for the rest of the world.

You destroy a Polar Ice cap, which would have severe ecological consequences, ie water temperature/level, over-salination, and all that good stuff.  However, life does not directly rely on Antartica, unless you are a penguin.  Most life could adapt to live without it.

once upon a midnight dreary, while i pron surfed, weak and weary, over many a strange and spurious site of ' hot  xxx galore'. While i clicked my fav'rite bookmark, suddenly there came a warning, and my heart was filled with mourning, mourning for my dear amour, " 'Tis not possible!", i muttered, " give me back my free hardcore!"..... quoth the server, 404.

Antartica: If you let it explode the ocean level worldwide would instantly rise and eliminating about half of the entire world.

Global warming; my ass!

I'd go for Africa.... It provides little or no resources to the rest of the world, has very few unique things (apart from a couple of species of animals, and is presumably the birthplace of mankind), the amount of jungle and plants on the continent is NOTHING compared how much seaweed I could put there instead of the continent, so plant life/O2 cycle wouldn't suffer. In short I pretty much doubt it will be missed (except for by the people living there). And depending on how far down I'd evaporate the continent, we'd get at least a 15 feet drop in the waterlevel, so we have nice long beaches again like in my childhood. And we'd get a shorter shipping lane from Europe to Asia without having to rely on the Suez and the gulf. The ocean currents will have a shorter route from the indian ocean to the pacific. And as an added bonus, in about 3-400 million years when the continental drift have created a "pangea ultima", we'll have a nice lake in the middle !

+1 to Africa Get rid of it and N.O. wouldn't be under sea level any more!
