what would you do if you ruled the world?

me:
I'd ban men from wearing skinny jeans

what about you?

If I ruled the world...
...we'd all be screwed.

Bush et al. Eyes. Rusty spoon.

Who's to say I don't already :D:cool:

Make this (http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showpost.php?p=14788077&postcount=27) legal, except with stupidity.

nobody else uses lastfm :(

If i ruled the world Id order someone else to do it so i wouldnt have to be bothered. What good is ruling the world if your day is filled with listening to everyone elses problems. Screw that, ill sit on a beach drinking Coronas and let other people worry about it.

isn't that what world leaders do anyway? well apart from Coronas you'd think they would have more taste :p

I'd appoint random people to rule certain areas so that I could just sleep.

...you'd be the first against the wall

I'd actually actively encourage people to dance more. It's quite liberating to toss yourself around when you don't worry about looking goofy, or even better, you embrace looking goofy.

a brutal totalitarian state full of catchy musical numbers?

imagine the brutal social exclusion of being made a tree...

I would wear a big hat!

oh and you guys totally know that I would ban on punishment of death white t-shirt and jeans combos

its just a hunch but you might want to avoid watching any plays for awhile >_>

Are you gay? You're setting my gaydar off.

Well I always sit in the back anyway in case I have to wiggle around to scratch my butt.
:D

I would wear a red cape. Everywhere. Even when I sleep.

That's the way to think, good idea.

I would probably get killed in a few days by someone who wanted my power but was more ruthless.

its only gay if you push back :)

well you'd better sit at the back with a big hat like that!

hell I'd travel back in time and assassinate Lincoln for being just plain rude

will you ever clean it?

swine-flu?

will you ever clean it?

Only with the blood of my enemies.

Or maybe I could drive through a car wash with the top down. That might be interesting.

put the wax option on


trust me this is a good idea ;)

With huge handprints on it?

Only Nanatsu's.

I'd give the ugly people all the money

I'd give the ugly people all the money

Whoo! I'm rich.

If I ruled the world...

my opening speech would start with the line...

"You Sorry bastards..."

Whoo! I'm rich.

Nanatsu say:

Pics, or it didn't happen.

i'd sit back and let everyone else deal with the shit, while hoarding in the money and never really letting go of the power. kinda like that laudable Mr. Mugabe.... >.>

would you wear anything under the cape? world leaders should really be nekkid.

HHGTTG reference as well?

Soz, don't wanna scar people. :p

But your mother is so pretty.

Not this again, please- I beg of you.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wJGST0XNAIg Well first I'd play this song for the lulz. It's not a rickroll. I swear!

See now you can trust me.


Second, declare all wars null and void, legalise gay marriage, cannabis. During the summers (y'know cos of the whole southern and northern hemisphere stuff) I'd have massive barbecues.

Also if aliens do exist, I'd tell you and invite them to the party. Earth will become known as the Universe's Entertainment Capital.

I'd make it illegal to be Phil Collins.

Make everything awesome...and build a fleet of starships...sorry, I just watched Star Trek yesterday.

I think I just couldn't not indulge in occasional mwahaha-style laugh.

Nanatsu:

I would have a harem of hot guys and another of hot girls to satisfy me, several palaces and travel everywhere. Oh, and have this as my world domination tune: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S32X5-eKVp4.

I was going to try to rickroll you, but all the youtube rickrolls aren't working.

I wanna change mine to this. It sounds allot more fun.

Nanatsu:

Do you want to ride the mackerel hitting train, sir? <_<

Nanatsu:

Sure, seeing as how it's my mackerel and I do the hitting.

Nanatsu:

Oh? You own the stinky fish?
I don't think so, mate. *glares*

Nanatsu:

No, but I own the holy one.

I'd abdicate. I have no desire to be in a position with that much power and responsibility. Power corrupts, I'm not competent enough, and I'd have a target on my back a mile wide.

Speaking hypothetically, though, there are a lot of things I would feel need doing. What I would do depends partly on the state of the world at the time, and partly on the level of authority I have. (Ie, was I globally elected? Appointed? Do I have dictatorial power?)

Presuming I have the authority and the world remains otherwise more or less as it is now, something like this:

First of all, since I rule the world, all nation's space programs get coordinated under the new Terran International Space Agency, and I will attempt to ensure that it gains at least 1% of the Global budget if nessissary. Its priorities will be Planetary Security (asteroids, aliens if we ever find them, defense satalites, etc), Laws and regulation of activities in space, and First Contact.

Second, all nations/regions retain a significant degree of autonomy. They can even go their own way completely if they wish. But first, everyone signs a global Constitution ensuring basic human rights and political freedoms, and I make it very clear that it will be enforced. All nuclear weapons are dissassembled save for those used by the space program in asteroid deflection and propulsion systems. Since the world is under one government, the MAD theory no longer applies.

Of course, I would suck hard as leader of anything bigger or more dangerous than maybe a small town, so again, I would abdicate.

Pour every available resource into space travel.

I'd probably sell it and use the money to build a smaller but nicer world.

Picture Disney World with mud and cartoon characters that tackle people at random. :)

and whats wrong with being a corrupt madman who removes peoples frontal lobes!?

wait isn't that just an imagination box?

If I somehow ruled the world, huh....

I guess it'd wind up like my NS nation.

I'd actually actively encourage people to dance more. It's quite liberating to toss yourself around when you don't worry about looking goofy, or even better, you embrace looking goofy.

This.

I guess it'd wind up like my NS nation.

Youd make the same decisions on the same policies every 2 or 3 days?

First...the diabolical laugh. A world ruler needs a good diabolical laugh.

Then I'd ban rap music, sandals, dredlocks on white guys, and calling people 'bro' unless you and the person you are addressing are actually brothers.

I would encourage self-reliance, minding your own business, and laissez-faire capitalism.

And then I would go to the beach, sit in a hammock, get served drinks with umbrellas in them by pretty girls in bikinis, and occasionally tweak the things that needed tweaking.

for shame!

That second linked song just made me laugh so loud, I woke my Keeper up.:D
