Survey: *If You Were God For a Day...

[JediBendu]

George Lucas has come down and granted you the chance to be god for a day. You can change only 1 thing on this planet, no more, no less. What would it be?



I'd ban McDonalds.

[BL-17]

I bet this is going to turn into another religion/political debate... Hopefully not. :saber:

[JediBendu]

You could ban all religion or politics then

just curious that's all - not interested in starting anymore morally contentious debates, I end up :banghead:

Someone asked me it today - it's the 1 and only 1 thing that stumped me.

[Kit]

Though I'd like to stop all hatred in the Middle East and everywhere else, I think, that I wouldn't address that. *If it were only one thing I could do, I'd give to all who need (not WANT, but NEED.)

---------------------------------------------
JediBendu,
That's a really good question! Very, very profound. But it's strange the way you came about it. "If George Lucas came to you..."? style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/rolleyes.gif

[Mann]

Turn myself into a Jedi, so I could use the force and help solve problems everywhere.

[QuigonWindu]

I'd change the results of the election so the person who cheated (George Bush) lost. Or I'd destroy the electoral college.

[QuigonWindu]

I just really wanted to start a political arguement.

[Aayla]

I'ld change our galaxy to Star Wars Universe Galaxy. That would be quite dumb, I know, but it'ld be great. Me thinks.

[STar war spUNK]

i would change the world so no one had to worry about anything. like getting killed and all that crap. ugh i don't know. i never thought about this!

[Rinc]

If i were god for a day i'd change the fact that i could only change one thing.

Other than that i'd change all the people's lives who i like so they are wealthy and healthy. I wouldn't change everyone in the world because the world would just turn into one large selfish and conceited rock.

[JediBendu]

the world would just turn into one large selfish and conceited rock

...as opposed to?

Kit
If George Lucas came to you

George Lucas is god...isn't he? :p

I'll adjust mine from banning McDonalds, to erasing McDonalds. Banning would just create more desire, and more people would want to eat that crud.

[Justin]

I like McDonalds. Chicken McNuggets rule!

I second that!!! :p :lol: :hehe:

I'd make sure I'm a Jedi too. :saber:

[Tovor]

I'd create the three-dimensional internet.

[T-bone]

Anyone who commits a big crime, ala rape, premeditated murder, terrorist acts, etc...

will be turned into an ant.

Mess with ME, will ya!
:angel:

[tunafishgirl]

i'd either reverse the damage done to the earth by humans

or

eliminate world suffering.

[Mann]

discover which religion was right.

[Senator Amory]

By posting on here, I do not down-play my respect for the One, Almighty God. And no Jedi bendu...it isn't George Lucas. But anyway,

I'ld change our galaxy to Star Wars Universe Galaxy.

<span style='color:black'> I third that idea. But only, I would then instate myself as the Supreme Chancellor so that after my godly powers were up, I could still be kind of in that same position. So in this case, I could still use my new-found influence to still be able to change the other things that I couldn't change as "god-for-one-day" since I used up my one change.

Am I making any sense here? style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/eh.gif hehe</span>

[one with many names]

I would turn all evil, to good, that's it.

[Jamielee]

I'd eliminate all the stupid people. Not the uneducated, just the stupid. (Jedi Bendu- that'd probably eliminate all the politicians anyway) SO many'd be gone we could fix overpopulation, help world hunger, and hopefully everyone would be smart enough not to go to war or commit acts of terrorism, so we'd eventually get world peace . . . and only the smart people could breed so we'd just get smarter and smarter :dunce: :roll: :tie:

but then half the people of this forum, and myself would be gone.... :dunce: :withstupid: (JK)

[JediBendu]

ya
I'm wondering if I'd be included without knowing it.

politicians are genuinely decent people, before they enter politics :p

[Kit]

What about Bill Clinton?-- wow.... that said something bad about the US... 8 years... :banghead:

[Obidobi]

I would tell everybody the truth ( from my point of view). That there is no god.

[Tovor]

Dude, if you were God for a day, having been given the power for one day, how could you possibly believe there was no God, and with the power of God tell others that YOU did not exist for that one day? style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/scratchchin.gif

[Tovor]

JediBendu, I wrote a reply to your link last night and thought I posted it, but it is not there. *I am baffled because I am pretty sure I posted it. *Oh well. *style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/banghead.gif

Thanks for the link. *But what I was thinking of was not 3-D graphics as seen on the monitor, but a real 3-D image like a SW hologram projected out of the monitor into the area above your keyboard.

That was the jist of what I had written last night. *There was a second part about something else but I don't remember that part too. *style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/skullwink.gif

[JediBendu]

mmm
methinks your a Gibson fan - consensual hallucinations would be way cool but holograms will do.
still, vrml's been around for a few years now - comp's have to become pocket super computers for it work properly.

Exactly ! The root to every evil is religion.
Then people would stop all these holy wars and that crap.
Maybe people would start worrying about how to rescue the planet we live on instead of killing each other in the name of some God that is living inside of their head.

As u can see. I do not belive in God.
I think how the world is, kind of prove that I´m right.
I´m not starting another religious debate here, just stating my opinion.
If you belive, thats your business.
Nothing can change my mind, but visual proof.

:angel: :dunce:

[Darth Darthy]

Aye, exactly what obidobi said.

I've got $10 he'll find it in under 70!

[Wild_Huntress]

Ermm...... Back to the original topic here, I'd probably wish for something like ever lasting, genuine world peace, because if everyone would just stop fighting then maybe they could start doing something constructive for a change.

And, dude, how DO you do all those funky emoticons? (Clicks on Help Cards link that says "Emoticons.") Oh. Well.... Uh... These are SO cool! I love: style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/duel.gif style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/trooperz.gif Neat-o!

[Greedo Boy]

I would make myself a god forever.

Considering I don't believe GL to be God or a god then I can't answer that.

[Miasmo]

Aw, come on. Have some fun. style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/wink.gif

I thought about this for awhile, and I don't think any major change I could make would really matter. I can't go into the details on why right now though.

And since it doesn't matter, I'd have some fun with it. I'd turn every human into a hermaphrodite. I'm getting goosebumps just thinking about it.

[one with many names]

A man once said If i had the power of God you could bet i would change almost everything, but if i had the wisdom of God i would change nothing

Thank about that.

[Tovor]

style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/crazy.gif You have strange desires, my young friend. Strange, strange desires.

[Rob]

All powerful deity for a day?

1.) Hmmm....more T&A? Na. Nice idea, but it could backfire by adding 400 pounds to every woman on Earth. Worse yet, it might give all men manboobs. Ack!
2.) Do away with evil completely? This would upset the balance, although concentrating the 'evil' on individuals lusting after world destruction, that could work.
3.) Do away with currency. This would work.
4.) Change all colors to their opposites/negatives. Black to white, white to black, etc. This would be interesting for a day or so, but the novelty of it would soon wear off.


Eh, I can't think of anything decent enough style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif

[brookie]

i would relieve all of the suffering animals in the world, oh yeah and smite the wicked yadda, yadda, yadda...

Interesting. You've given that serious thinking for a hypothetical question. Is there anything you're not telling us about a secret deal you're making with God for one day? style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/scratchchin.gif

[cj790]

I'd give myself the ability to make as many wishes as possible without rapproachment style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/tongue.gif

Then I'd end Capitalism, suffering, ignorance, poverty, intolerance, and sexual repression style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/tie.gif

Guess this is why I aint a god style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/devil.gif

[Soontir Solo]

I would not want to be God for a day, I wouldn't want that responsibility, I'd squander it. Only God is meant to be God for a day.

[flo fett]

I'd give everyone cake....and a hug. I believe that everyone deserves at least one hug in their life.

[goodwije]

gosh.. i think everyone deserves several hugs a day style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif


Then I'd end Capitalism, suffering, ignorance, poverty, intolerance, and sexual repression

my thoughts exactly cj

[Greedo Boy]

Fiends!

[cj790]

Always good to know there are sensible people out there, Goodwije style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/wink.gif

[Handothrawn]

I'd make myself into an even bigger chick magnet.
