If you could do anything in the world, anything you wanted to...what would it be?

It's been done. [img]tongue.gif[/img]

But in the interest of good humor.

Hmmmm.... strangely, nothing comes to mind. I'm either under-ambitious, or content with my life as is. Or I'm just tired and can't think right now.

Go into space, most likely. Either that or get a billion bucks somehow. [img]tongue.gif[/img]

It's been done? You'll have to excuse my n00biness! [img]smile.gif[/img]

I figure if I could do anything it would be to create world peace, to make every human equal.

I'd rather be poor and live in a world of total peace than be rich and live in a world like we do today.

^That, is the worst HALLMARK greeting card I have ever heard.

seriously though, I would probably... have a dictatorship with me at its ruler with no opposition whatsoever!1! MWA HA HA HA HAAAAA

To make everyone equal freedom must be sacrificed. Equality and freedom cannot truly coexist. I like my freedom, and I like the responsibility that comes with it. Equality is all well and good. It's a good attitude to have towards one another, but genuine equality kills too much freedom.

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

Why can't freedom and equality coexist? I'd like to hear your reasoning behing that.

Freedom and Equality can't coexist because we choose it not to. With Equality there can be no rich. We must all be better than our neighbor, we must have a better yard, a better car. Our PC's must be better than the guy we are talking to on the internet.

Anything is possible if you want it bad enough. I guess some of us don't want equality that much

The rich rule...the poor get poorer.

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.
