The ability to remove crap apps

Question

I have a motorola droid, that just updated to 2.2 a few days ago, 1st thing that happened, activesync stopped working, but tech support helped me out on that and it's working perfectly again.  the main thing i would like to complain about is VZW putting crap applications on my phone without the ability to remove them.  I.E. Twitter came with this latest update,  i don't want it, i don't like it, and i wont use it. but i can't remove it,  thats {word filter avoidance} some of you are going to say, just ignore it, or we then don't use it.  and thats what i'm going to do, but the fact remains, that even though it's small, it is still eating a chunk of my Card space, and is continually running until i use task killer to kill it, (which of course it starts itself up again a few hours later), so it's using system resources. 
I don't care is  VZW wants to push {word filter avoidance} apps like this to phones during updates, but at least give us the ability to remove them if we don't want them.  Seriously, i pay well over 100.00 a month for there service and whatnot, and they still think they know what "needs" to be on my phone?  
WAKE UP VZW and give us the option to uninstall the crap apps you put on it.
Done ranting now.   have a great day

your remarks are besides the entire point i was making,  sure they can put all the crap they want on it, but they do NOT have the RIGHTS to do so, no where in my contract that i signed does it  say they will add unremoveable apps to the device as they see fit. i bought this phone it is mine lock stock and barrell technically anything they do outside of the contract i signed and do not authorize is a violation of my rights as an individual.
 It is in the contract you signed as the guy showed above.  They will add stuff as they see fit which you agreed to.
 task killer is a very valuable app, if you don't use it i feel sorry for you, as all the bloatware VZW has put on the phones, comes on when it wants, and resides in the devices memory, so yes it does use system resources,  If i kill all the tasks my battery will last 2 days from full to empty if i do not, i'm lucky if it lasts 3/4 of a day.   so your wrong on all points, thanks for playing try again.
I will explain this to you.  Nothing in ram is wasted ram for a Linux based system which android is.  What you are closing is the libraries that Android has open which is shared through numerous apps.  For example if you close the "phone" app messaging app and a few others will close as well just because the library was closed.  It only looks like they reside in memory as they share the same library as another app.  What you need to look at is processes and not what's in ram.
All i'm saying is if they put it on there that is fine,  just give me the option to remove the crap i don't want.
 You do have an option, and it's your choice to do it or not.  Root your device, and remove them.  Warranties are over-rated anyway you will always get a "refurbished" device 99/100 times.  If you screw up most of the time unless you can get into fastboot they'll never know you rooted your device.  If you can get into fastboot you can ALWAYS bring your phone back to stock.
if you can't see that point, then maybe you need to actually use your phone, instead of playing with it as a toy.
If you wanted a "phone" wouldn't you buy a phone that did only that?  These devices were meant more than just being a phone.
