Seems there's a song for everything today ... :D

If I ruled the world,
Every day would be the first day of spring,
Every heart would have a new song to sing,
And we'd sing of the joy every morning would bring.

If I ruled the world,
Every man would be as free as a bird,
Every voice would be a voice to be heard,
Take my word we would treasure each day that occurred.

My world would be a beautiful place,
Where we would weave such wonderful dreams.
My world would wear a smile on its face,
Like the man in the moon has when the moon beams.

If I ruled the world,
Every man would say the world was his friend,
There'd be happiness that no man coud end,
No my friend, not if I ruled the world.

Every head would be held up high,
There'd be sunshine in everyone's sky,
If the day ever dawned when I ruled the world

So far it seems that everyone, despite political ideology, cannot rule on an empty stomach.

Abolish both the Metric and Imperial systems, and implement a new and more confusing method of measurement based on what the length a shadow is in relation to where I am standing at the time. The world will be given up to the second info on this for their ease-of-mind. I'm good like that.

1. Arm everyone.
2. Tell them that they may shoot anyone, for any reason.
3. Sit back and watch the show.

Certainly not. I get very cranky when I'm hungry and if I ruled the world, you wouldn't want that. :p

Let the world do its own thing, but go around and correct what I don't like. Whack the government of Iran and NK with a rolled up newspaper repeatedly until they agree to disarm their nukes. Do the same to every country that is suspect of aiding terror. Also go to China and whack teh ebil commies with my newspaper until they become democratic. Repeat ad infinitum. I can't think of a more fun job than that.

You people and your pathetic freedoms, rights and lives....

I'm taking control, and everyone will bow to my will. Your country feeling rebellious? Smack 'em till they apologise.

Humanity doesn't deserve better.

Even though Iran claims not to have a nuclear weapons program?

As for me, I'm going for the food. :cool:

Would you do the same to the US as well? They have Nukes too and lots of them. The US also has militant groups running around Montana and Idaho that they don't seem to be concerned with and let us not forget the KKK in the Good ol South.

All people (including myself) would be required to go through throughout testing for irrational thinking and behavior, and then have their flaws forcibly corrected, by any means neccessary, including shaving off any parts of their personality that result in critical errors and cannot be fixed. A human cannot become completely rational, but the irrationality would be limited to harmless levels. Those that are helpless cases would, depending on their potential usefulness, either be turned into mindless slaves or executed (which also doubles as a fine solution for the overpopulation problem). No one incapable of making decisions rationally would remain able to make them.

Then, collect the best genetic material from around the world, and have the government take over human reproduction. Through genetic engineering, humanity would develop greatly during the following few generations, putting an end to human stupidity once and for all.

Play heavy metal like Black Sabbath and Judas Priest all day. Some Pink Floyd too, even though they aren't metal.
Manditory 24/7 partying forever.

get me some waffles/pizza/etc., make new laws of freedom, and make the world chaotic and anarchic. But it would eventually settle down into a peaceful anarchy. Oh and NPRs because they can go faster and farther than nearly all chemical rockets and I want to explore Mars with people. Nudist Belters! Ring Raiders! WEWT! I don't think that came out right. I also don't think anyone here will get either of those last two.

First, I'd find a species of advanced (but not super-advanced) aliens, and make a deal with them: In exchange for human slaves, they would provide Earth with technology, military aid and advisors, and eventually Earth can start its own space empire under my rule. Of course I'd try to get an alliance with another alien empire: everybody needs a friend, after all.

I'd give each country to an NSer to rule, and sit back and watch the show. :p

I'd declare every alternate monday 'Rather Large Carrot Grown in Alaska Day' give Alaska entirely over to carrot farmers, and institute such sports as the Thirty Yard Meandar, Endurance Beach Lying, and the Cake Eat in what I would call 'the laid-back olympics

Where's the "Kill everyone" option? Cause thats what I'd do.

Although I'm diggin' on the suggestions of both Big Jim P and United Chicken Kleptos.

All-out war with heavy metal.

And then bomb the shit outta everywhere.

I'd rig the Grand Canyon with giant speakers, force Black Sabbath to get back together and play "Black Sabbath" and "Sabbath Bloody Sabbath"... and I'd get The Ventures to play "House of the Rising Sun"... etc. Classic rock galore.

I would be obscenely corrupt and spend the worlds food aid on a death star...made of Gold...with no weak point like the shitty empire one had

Id sit on my ass in a palace built on the labour of slaves. I would have several concubines and would rule with an iron fist.

I'd rule the world with an all-powerful regime. Everyone would realize that since I have all the power, they might as well just side with me on everything. I would reinstate duels, and I would make everyone learn at least 2 languages if they were capable of doing so. I would also build space colonies on nearby planets and star in whatever movie I wanted to. Any criminals found guilty by me, I would judge them fairly, would be sentanced to duel with one of my elite sharpshooters. The medical facilites would all be upgraded and have better rates. Gas prices would go down because I control those greedy companies. I would have any vehicle that I desire. I would own any house I desire. Those are just a couple of things that would happen.

Put all NSers on Kerguelen with food for a year.
Come back after one year and hold a bodycount.

I'd sit on my ass in a palace built out of slaves. But only female, hot, nekkid ones. The only problem would be how hot it would get in the summer... but when you think about it, that's not really a problem at all.

Strangely enough, the options in the lead up there are those which I picked. Coincidence? Or a hint to human nature?

Anyway, you'd all be in trouble!

I would change the world's official language biweekly. Each language would use a different alphabit than the language before it. People caught speaking a different language would be put to death.
