If you had ONE wish...

...bored...

...and sure this has been brought up before...

- If you were fortunate enough to rub the proverbial genie bottle, but with the exception that only one wish could be granted to you, what could your intuitive evilness or philanthropy possibly concoct as being granted to you. One Wish; reasonable, or off-the-walls, it don't matter...

NO WISHING FOR MORE WISHES :nono:

Turning invisible is, also, grotesquely overdone!

But anyway, let's get this party started!

Discuss,

[Edaarin]

Win the lotto. Duh. Money buys happiness.

By happiness, I mean a large breasted trophy wife.

[The Korean]

A gundam, to cause mayhem across the world....and for transportation.

[Soulpieced]

To be the greatest athlete in the world and play professional basketball.

[xShadowMerchantx]

One wish.. one wish...

I would wish that my entire family from the beginning of time would be alive and in one room so I could see what my ancestry was like.

I would wish that my entire family from the beginning of time would be alive and in one room so I could see what my ancestry was like.

Nice. Kinda long those lines:

My one wish would be the ability to raise people from the dead (to a previous state in their lives so that they don't trudge around looking like fucking zombies after my divine ressurection.)

A pint of gin.

[Chadj]

Money. Because with money, you can get power, and women. Screw looks.. You already got money, which is better. Power, money, and women is also happiness. So screw that. Money winz my wish.

[Marl]

to have a time machine.......

[Bobmuhthol]

For nothing to exist.

[Marl]

if nothing existed....that would mean Connie......?

[Bobmuhthol]

And also everything else ever.

[Marl]

easy way to grant your wish , sort of, .............death

Props to Bob for existential nihilism as a wish.

[Satira]

I'd wish to be like Bill Gates rich.

Money can change your looks, buy you crap, you can travel, do good things for people who actually deserve it...you can do all kinds of good things with it...

Money.

[Blazing247]

<For nothing to exist. >

Props if you know what is from..."I fuck you in the ass, I fuck you in the ass, I fuck you, I fuck you, I fuck you, I fuck... "

Knowledge. I'd want to know everything there is to know. Knowledge is power. You can have your millions, I'd rather know what place my pitiful existence has in this universe.

[Artha]

World peace, preferably in a way that makes me absolutely filthy rich.

Your place in this universe: Short of something impossible happening to make you special, on the grand scale of things, you are a meaningless piece of galactic shit, as we all are.

Yay, im gonna waste a wish on finding out that I'm shit! :O

[Blazing247]

<Yay, im gonna waste a wish on finding out that I'm shit!>

Congratulations, you took what I meant on as shallow a level as possible.

That was the point. I wasn't being serious in my post.

[HarmNone]

That nobody, anywhere (including moi, of course), need ever suffer...no pain, no hunger, no lonliness, no loss.

HarmNone

[Blazing247]

<That nobody, anywhere (including moi, of course), need ever suffer...no pain, no hunger, no lonliness, no loss.>

And that is why I am happy there are people like you around. I am, self admittedly, much too selfish to wish for such a thing, but it's good to know there are those who would.

[Nieninque]

They did that world peace wish on the X files when they found a genie.

Mulder wished for world peace, and the Genie magicked everyone else in the world away

[HarmNone]

Heh. You'll notice I specifically included myself in that wish, Blazing. :D

HarmNone does not want to suffer, either

[Trinitis]

While yes, I'd wish for money, my wish is limited. I want enough money to live comfortably for the rest of my life. I don't want a 9 bedroom mansion that needs 5 servents and 3 maids to run properly.

Maybe..3-4k a month just...appears in my bank account.

[HarmNone]

No, Adredrin. For the last time, I will NOT put you on an allowance!:moon:

HarmNone, ducking and weaving yet again

[Vesi]

To rule the world. That would take care of the money, hunger, hate mongers, etc. I would still be able to do what I wanted to do and to help others.

Yes, ruling the world.

And no arguing because I rule the world. This is my answer!

Vesi

[Miss X]

I would wish for proof that God exists.

[Xcalibur]

Immortal (and still living) and all the people of my surrounding.

[Weedmage Princess]

A never ending supply of money. Sure, you can't take it with you when you go, but atleast I do a lot with it while I'm here..and I know my son will be well off when I'm no longer around.

[Weedmage Princess]

That's interesting, X.

One thing I always ask people who want to live forever...why?

I noticed you said everyone around you as well--which shoots down one of my arguments against it, you'd be forced to deal with the deaths of those you love. But other than that...there's so many other negative aspects. Would you still age? How would your health be? You could be immortal, but what if you still suffer from some sort of [painful] illness?

[Suppa Hobbit Mage]

I'd wish for all the super powers of all the comic books written, and none of their drawbacks.

Then using my super IQ and super strength and super whatever, I'd find cures for major diseases, develop ways to save the environment, alternative fuel sources, etc, etc, etc. So.. basically I'd get to be super duper, and could make others lives better also.

along a similar vein, I wouldn't mind being able to cast all the spells in the players handbook...

Yeah, I live in a fantasy world :x

[longshot]

The time machine.

It would solve all money problems, and allow you to take advantage of all the mistakes that you've made.

It'd allow you to spend time with those who you didn't get to.

[Valthissa]

For those of you wishing for money be advised that the majority of lottery winners end up less happy after they are 'rich'

I realize everyone here would be an exception but...

...money really can't buy happiness.

C/Valth

[Artha]

...money really can't buy happiness.

I beg to differ. Feel free to make me a multimillion dollar check.

[Weedmage Princess]

I'm not saying I'd necessarily be an exception or that I'd never have another problem as long as I live...but it's a chance I'm willing to take. ;)

[Soulpieced]

Shit, I forgot my true wish.

To be able to stop time for everyone except me and anyone I choose whenever I want.

[Edaarin]

In other words Soulpieced wants to be Zack Morris.

I stand by my money statement.

[AnticorRifling]

I'd wish to be 5'8" 260 pounds and just shredded nasty. I would be the best fullback you've ever seen. Pain train baby!

[Faent]

>>Props to Bob for existential nihilism as a wish. -Stanley

Er, what you're referring to as existential nihilism isn't what Bob wished for. (Of course, what Bob wished for isn't logically possible. Something can't become nothing. He might as well have wished that 9 X 7 != 63 so he would have gotten a better grade on last week's multiplication test. =)) In any case, existential nihilism is exceedingly self-induldgent and hardly entails either suicide or mass extermination.

-Scott

Oh...

I thought he wished for nothing to exist on an existential, not murderous basis.

Either way, keep the wishing well flowing, folks!

[Jonty]

I'd wish to be able to go back in time and be two years old again and still know everything I know now.

[Latrinsorm]

But I would go with getting rid of those smelly Hawaiins.

No wait, that would be bad. Hmmm. I would want a 15 minute talk with God. Long enough to learn some good stuff, but not too long.

[Snapp]

I like that one a lot, although I'd probably go with the majority and wish for money. It's sad, but so much can be solved with it.

[Edited on 7-11-2004 by Snapp]

[Betheny]

My wish.. I am torn between two things.

One, I would like some more time with my father.

Two, I would like to have one glimpse of my future...

Other than that.... nothing comes to mind. Except maybe I would wish that I get what it is I want most right now, which is something I will leave resonating in my own mind.

[Weedmage Princess]

Yep.

[Meos]

If I had one wish I would want a 12 inche penis with 3 inches girth so I can get rich in the pornogrpahy bussiness and be the envy men and the fantasy of women everywhere.

But the bangbus already has that one dude.

If anything i'd probaly do the one jonty said.

[Nakiro]

I'd wish for my own personal happiness in life regardless of my circumstances.

[DeV]

X-ray vision, and I'm not talking seeing bone and muscle.

[Wezas]

Alyson Hannigan - her being a nympho, growing a few cup sizes, and only wanting me.

(edited to add the cup sizes thing, me likes em a lil bigger then she's got em)

Hers are perfect, a handful is all you need.

[LordSagan]

Wanting proof that God exists would be a bad wish. The djinn would kill you, so you could go see him ;)

I'd wish that I was in perfect health and remained so for the rest of my natural life.

It's a matter of opinion. Personally I'm not part of the "Anything more then a mouthful is a waste" way of thinking.

[Apathy]

I'd wish for musical genius. Being able to pick up and play any instrument well would be very satisfying.

Not to mention having the option of becoming rich and/or famous, making the ladies swoon, and becoming a pop culture immortal.

But I'd rather just play a song :)

[Faent]

Immortality.

-Scott

[Delirium]

Definately money is what id wish for. Not so much other people would spend their time hating me(Bill Gates) but enough so i could live comfortably and help out anyone i wanted to on a whim without affecting me at all.


...money really can't buy happiness.

If money is all you have i could possibly agree. But when the only negatives in your life involve stresses about money id be willing to bet it does. If i didnt have to worry about shit getting turned off or deciding which bill to pay this month hoping to avoid that my life would get about 10billion times easier than it is now.

the funny thing is that the people that are studied after they win the lottery are people that had exactly those kinds of problems...and they still end up less satisfied with their lives. There are several studies on the issue and the overwhelming majority of people that aquire their wealth instantly end up...less happy.

it's an open question as to whether one's base level of happiness is genetic.

personally, I think a little more wealth wouldn't hurt me or my family.....

C/Valth

[Delirium]

Thats weird but id wonder if the study was done by rich people :) Either way id be willing to risk being less happy and have no stress about bills i cant pay. Plus it would be nice to be able to answer the phone instead of just letting it ring cause i just know its a bill collector. I cant imagine how i could possibly be less happy. Even if you did end up less happy you would have the money to see a psychiatrist who can prescibe you drugs to make you happier :)

I think that the "Money doesn't make you happy" showed that once you could provide basic necessities, more money didn't make you (much) happier. Before that point, it did. If you have bill collectors hounding you because you just can't make your house/phone/electric payment (as opposed to $25k credit card bill payment), you're likely in the "Yes, money will make you happier" group. Of course, if you have bill collectors hounding you because you live so far out of your means that you've gotten yourself into trouble with credit cards and such, then you've already proven that money didn't buy you happiness.

Jorddyn, happy, but would take a couple mil :)

[Weedmage Princess]

The fallacy "Money doesn't buy Happiness" is a myth spread by rich people to make the rest of us not hate/steal from/be jealous of/kill them. :)

[Edited on 7-12-2004 by Weedmage Princess] True. With money comes different worries like long lost cousins whom you've never met calling you out of the blue to borrow a couple thousand. Other than that, I'd be willing to bet that money sure would help ease alot of lifes worries and stresses. Might not bring you happines but it sure would help me buy a small tropical island and be able to keep it full of beautiful babes running around in nothing but nipple covers.

[Apathy]

Why waste money on nipple covers?

[Amneus]

Omnipotence, then I'd just give myself the rest of the good shit.

[DeV]

Originally posted by Apathy

[Killer Kitten]

I'd wish that my husband would quit smoking. I like having him around.
