If you were omnipotent for one day...

cozumel · Apr 13, 2008, 09:01 PM

...what would you do?

BlueMak · Apr 13, 2008, 09:04 PM

I would give myself the power to be omnipotent for more than one day.

mos2k · Apr 13, 2008, 09:16 PM

i'll just sit around and watch TV

**temeteus82** · Apr 13, 2008, 09:18 PM

Hmm.... I would build NCC-1701E for my private use for exploration of space ...

Son_of_Thunder · Apr 13, 2008, 09:24 PM

Give myself the power to change things with my mind. I want to be thinner, I think it, I get thinner. I want my x1950 to be a 9800GX2, I think it, it changes in my hand. My girl isn't secure about the size of her breasts, I think it, she goes from a B cup to a C. Note, this power would not effect the way people think, I can't change someone's opinion by thinking it, just physical things.

Other than that, rig the lottery for someone who needs it, destroy nukes, stuff like that.

You have only been granted the power for one day. Anymore silly suggestions then I would forced to deny you omnipotency and would bestow unto you impotency instead lol

Great choice...with Counsellor Troi at your side perhaps?

Falstaff · Apr 13, 2008, 09:41 PM

For one day, I want no one to die violently in IRAQ, and people to think of peace and not war.

Nope she is married to Captain William T. Riker.

But Ezri Dax is in the free market

BlueMak · Apr 14, 2008, 12:02 AM

I would change some things on me, then my financial status, then ensure good health for as long as I live. I wouldn't change a thing with the world.

Wise choice.

I think I'd invent something that'd make me financially secure forever. Would have to help mankind, just to balance out me being greedy, naturally.

OmegaRED · Apr 14, 2008, 01:27 AM

I'd go back in time to the creation of the Universe and battle to the death with God.

mmmmm Counsellor Troi

**Mousey** · Apr 14, 2008, 10:10 AM

Rig the lottery so i win, and give AMD's production factory a kick up the arse. Then they'll release Phenoms that are worth buying and intel's prices will collapse through the floor

Zardon · Apr 14, 2008, 10:52 AM

id cure world hunger. I don't think we realise how lucky we are, when kids are dying because they have nothing to eat it makes me wonder......

PangingJr · Apr 14, 2008, 11:01 AM

Having unlimited power?
i like to change one day = 48 hours, 24 hours is too short and in many time i find it's just never enough time.
then i like something similar to what Jeff mention but more, i want a power to give those very poor and innocent people of anywhere and everywhere who are right now suffering from anything, the best and happy day.
well, it seems like Z. reads my mind.

I figure God has never been in a fight before whereas I have so I'd take him in under a day then quickly create the Universe to my liking just before my powers ran out.

Markius · Apr 15, 2008, 03:54 AM

Hell, you don't need to be omnipotent to do that, you just need to be pretty much any 1st world leader!

Now if I was omnipotent for one day....

Winona Ryder, Keira Knightly, Salma Hayek....and me!

swimtech · Apr 15, 2008, 03:00 PM

I think, just for one day, I'd want to plant a new perspective in the mind and heart of every person in the world...

Remove all thoughts and feelings of selfishness - self centeredness - from all of mankind (myself too of course...), even the tiniest inklings...

I don't think we can even comprehend how good things could be...

Vikingod · Apr 15, 2008, 03:52 PM

I'd probably fix the environment. Whether that means ridding the world of the need for fossil fuels, replacing them by something better, or making all people see how important conservation and moderated use of natual resources is.

If people didn't worry about fighting for resource control, we might be able to move beyond where we are now, and really, where we have been since the dawn of time.

That, and what swimtech said, the bane of humanity.

Yep, then we could move on and fight about something else.

'Bout the time Eve handed Adam the apple is when we lost the capability to not be fighting something somehow somewhere. (not meant to start a belief war here so let's not

- insert whatever version of the begining of things you like.)

Set it up so I was President of the US for the next 8 years with the magical ability to sway congress to agree with the things I wanted to do. I'd like to see if a non-politician average joe kind of guy could maybe do something right since career politicians certainly don't seem to be able to.

Then I'd do myself some trivial things since the next 8 years, at least, were going to be very busy. I'm sure it would involve setting up a winning lotto # for myself, multiple covergirl type ladies, the finest food & beverage, the perfect beach somewhere - typical hedonistic things.

Might even toss in the general day or peace for the world and such noble things as that.

Oh and since my last post has been some time ago I'll toss in that I would want to make sure everyone in the world has their own gun.

OmegaRED · Apr 15, 2008, 07:08 PM

Now that I think about it, it would be really cool to bring the Dinosaurs back using my powers. Either that or I'd get Duke Nukem Forever released. I guess I could do both at the same time but I suspect no one would appreciate the game if they were being overrun by Dinosaurs.

Wilier · Apr 16, 2008, 01:10 PM

Assuming Im allowed to do more than one thing....

Id ensure that my immediate family live long and healthy lives.
Id get rid of all the hoody wearing chav-twats from the street corners and make them do somethiing usefull, like sorting out all the re-cycling from lazy gits who couldnt be arsed to sort their own recycling.
Id make sure everyone recycled - whilst it does my noggin in having to sort paper from card and bottles from tins, it also annoys me that some people dont even make an effort.
Id get a lifetime sponsorship deal with Wilier so I could be sure of a new bike or two every season.
...and another one from Audi, cos I quite fancy a new diesel TT
....and maybe a Q7

am I being greedy?

***Veridian3*** · Apr 22, 2008, 01:17 AM

I'd probably go buy some Viagra...

Falstaff · Apr 22, 2008, 06:00 AM

same here.....why would I want to be "Impotent" for a day?
just like that feller at the post office a tellin me I was " ILLITERATE".
I told him that just wasnt so, my parents were married a fore I was bornt!!
