What person, apart from yourself, would you endow with vast power if you had the opportunity to do so?

I'm thinking John Paul II. Not Ratzinger, he doesn't have the same leadership qualities… and not Gandhi, as he had some strange ideas. Maybe Goofballs.

Octavian "Augustus" was a great leader let him take power nowadays :)

caligula.... just for the shear fun of it

No one. I don't trust any of the rest of you bastards any farther than I can throw you.

Watches as an entire division is employed to attack the ocean

arizona senator john mccain (i dont know how to spell that). hes one of the few poloticians who seems to be able to understand everyones point of view.

The decision would not be mine alone. I'd give everyone a limited amount of time to nominate someone else and debate their choice to me. Then I'd weigh up their arguments, check my recommendation with a group of random humans then deem it so if all is okay.

Understanding other points of view is hardly a good reason. By that logic, a Socialist shouldn't have any problem appointing me to power; after all I am able to understand those policies, even though I have nothing but contempt for them.

McCain was alright back in 2000 wiped the floor with Gore], but I've lost a bit of respect for him lately.

While he struts around the pantheon threatening to dethrone Zeus for not talking back to him.

Actually he might be a tad more sane than bush ;) Obvious Sarcasm Alert

i'm liking the idea of Gandhi, maybe Gerry Garcia :P

youve obviously never used "force fire" command in EE or C&C. It gets so boring playing those games sometimes.....

My brother. There would be major perks.

Ghandi sounds about right IMO. If not Ghandi, then Buddha (I'm not Buddhist, but I still think Buddha pretty much had the right idea about people.)

That's very self-assured of you.

That rhymes! :)

So he could spend it all on psychologists and hypnotitsts to teach him to live and then establish contact with the dead?

Exactly

I would give it to a monkey and watch the fun and myham

That's very self-assured of you.
Heh. Did you expect any less?


That rhymes! :)
Yeah, I noticed that too. I couldn't resist!

Of course. To answer the question, I would give mighty power to Fingolfin, just to piss you off, Melkor.

Well seeing as he did have a fair amount of 'mighty power' when I turned him into a pancake, I think I'm up for a repeat :p

Hmm.. on first thoughts, Pres. Wilson or M.L. King Jr.

Anyone who is doing something for a just cause, I suppose.

I say we dig up Aristotle and make him our King :D

I honestly (even though you don't allow it) would pick me, because if I was that powerful, I'd probably have the power to resist using it too.
If that isn't possible, a blood relative would have to do. There's nothing like being related to the most powerful being on earth, is there? ;)

but you would be the crappy son who everyone dosn't care about

I can't believe no one else thought of family member/best friend for position of extreme power. He (or she) would obviously give you major perks.

I would give it to my husband (Zep) he's the only person I've ever known who never puts himself first, always thinks of others and never abuses the authority he already has (We own our own business) He cares, he's not corrupt and he is by far the smartest man/woman I have ever listened to or known!

Your mom :eek:

Noam Chomsky, just because I'm curious to see what he would do.

Ready to get your iron-clad legs cut off, Morgoth?

lol, I am actually by coincidence listening to a song about the fight between the Dark Lord and Fingolfin - "Time Stands Still (At the Iron Hill)" by Blind Guardian. It's on their album Nightfall in Middle-Earth.

His country would probably end up something like Mao's China. I have a feeling that he would be well-intentioned, but useless at running a country.

I know that Chomsky is not evil. I just question his ability to apply his ideology to reality.

Who is this Chomsky character?

Your mom :eek:

I second that. My mom would make an excellent candidate. I'll tell her you nominated her.
