What does being poor or rich have anything to do with the world today?

If I could do anything, I'd bump off Hugh Hefner and take his job [img]tongue.gif[/img] </font>[/QUOTE]Ask a rich man how he can influence the world and then go ask a poor man how he can influence the world.

The rich rule...the poor get poorer. </font>[/QUOTE]I'm sorry but your point escapes me to a most frightening degree.

Freedom and equality can't exist because if everyone and everything is equal, how can you be an individual? You couldn't be, you'd have to do everything like everyone else would. There wouldn't be competition, drive, motivation, nothing. The world would be so horribly bland and boring if everyone was equal.

I think you're reading too much into the 'poor and rich' aspect. Not everyone wants something better than the next person. We'd like to have money so we can have nice things. Good meals, a nice car, a nice home, it doesn't always have to be an ego battle like you're making it out to be. </font>[/QUOTE]I see you have many years of experience behind your philosophy.

I suggest we leave this discussion for a forum that would be more appropriate.

how about just giving everyone equal oppurtunity to freedom and stop this silly argument.... okey? [img]smile.gif[/img]



anyway, I'd buy a tropical island and invite all IW members to a month long party... [img]smile.gif[/img]

I'd invest in better Japanes-English dictionaries. Ever tried translating 12 pages of technical documents with NO experience in a technical field? So much fun. I think it's time for a HaPi (Harbin Pijiu) One of maybe two Chinese beers worth drinking. I think they should market to the english speaking world: "Everybody get HaPi!" Yes, translating tech documents has fried my brain....

Me as well, but I'd make it so I could paint warhammer miniatures with SOME degree of skill. Or figure out how to lay interlock.

This is not the first post by you THAT DID NOT take your exact point of view, and you are ready to throw in the towel.

If a little setback can stall your throttle, how will you ever create dinner?

I'd become the Ultimate and Unquestionable Dictator of All. Very much like Kyrvias.

I'll take a page out of my "It Would Be Great To Be God" theory and say that it would be great to either call down lightning bolts at will and fry people, or make their heads explode by concentrating really hard. I'd love that.

That, or I'd love to be fluent in a romance language, or perhaps Gaelic... You have to be specific. I don't want to say "I wish I were fluent in a foreign language" and suddenly know a language they only speak in Kyrzygraznystan or some other country that nobody, including its own citizens, can locate on a map.

If I could could do anything?

I'd expand the size of the planet by 1000%, also expanding and moving the other planets and star in the solar system to acomidate this change.

Then I'd remove any man made changes, getting rid of all this man made stuff and so on.

So everyone wakes up in the middle of the wilderness buck naked, and with no tools.

I'd then sit and watch in overview, come on, it'd be interesting to see what happened.

So you'd be the only one with technology? Watching to see how mankind plays out?

...nice

Watching a worldwide game of "Survivor", eh? Except without the challenges... :D
