So, some guy walks up to my cubicle today and says, "Hey, we're playing this game. You should totally come check it out."

You go around the room and answer the question:
"What would you do if you ruled the world?"

Just out of curiosity... you guys?

People stopped playing when I said I'd feed the fatties to all the starving kids in Africa. That and put an age limit on people. Like 75-ish.

things I would do:
1. Ban all theistic religions.
2. Lots of heroin.

Emaline · « **Reply #3 on:** 11 Jan 2008, 17:55 »

55 is my usual age cut off.

If I ruled the world, I'd make all the rich nations feed all the starving nations and give everyone birth control so we can stop over populating the planet. I'd also tell the world to stop it with the global warming, because I kind of like polar bears and stuff. And no more cutting down the rain forests.

And then I'd kill anyone who pissed me off. It is my world, after all, and some people just shouldn't be here. Or maybe I'd send them to another planet and force them to live elsewhere. Yeah. Maybe that.

When I rule the world, we will wear togas to get rid of the competition of fashion. And males will be kept underground for breeding purposes.

So far I vote Linds for world dictator. I like her style.

Yaaaaay!

But I like Caiphana's idea, too. But then again, I think all of us girls should take over the world.

thegreatbuddha · « **Reply #9 on:** 11 Jan 2008, 18:26 »

If I ruled the world, I would make Ferran Adria be my personal chef, I'd get a new car, and my personal army would dress up like a Roman Legion (post Marius), burn down anheiser-busch headquarters, and salt the earth.

squawk · « **Reply #10 on:** 11 Jan 2008, 18:28 »

I would give everyone little puppy dogs named Mr. Poopytime!

PacoSees · « **Reply #11 on:** 11 Jan 2008, 18:29 »

So far, I don't think there's any conflict of ideas, so the sum of it all comes to:

-Fatties being fed to hungry people.
-Rich countries supporting not-rich countries.
-You die at 55 (like cows).
-Togas for everyone.
-Men living underground for "breeding" purposes (You know we'll be used for "non-breeding" too.

)
-No more global warming... Just like that.
-And no more religions.

Neat.

if i ruled the world it would be required that everyone have their own unicorn friend.

PacoSees · « **Reply #13 on:** 11 Jan 2008, 18:37 »

I'm going to stop you right there.

That clearly disagrees with... someone...

Anyone?

Lines · « **Reply #14 on:** 11 Jan 2008, 18:41 »

No. Unicorns are an excellent idea. Moo can stay. But it's off to the underground parts with you.

Caiphana · « **Reply #15 on:** 11 Jan 2008, 18:44 »

Unicorns. Yes.

Unless these unicorns don't have wings. Then I may have to disagree. The flying kind are fun.

PacoSees · « **Reply #16 on:** 11 Jan 2008, 18:49 »

And it becomes clear that Paco has no bros to back him up.

To the caves I go... I have some non-breeding to do.

See you Monday!

mooface · « **Reply #17 on:** 11 Jan 2008, 19:10 »

all unicorns can fly because they are magical.

sean · « **Reply #18 on:** 11 Jan 2008, 19:50 »

I am incredibly pro-unicorn. Especially when they are magical.

One ticket to moo's world please.

Unless I don't get underground breeding privileges. i

0bsessions · « **Reply #19 on:** 11 Jan 2008, 20:09 »

I am rather effeminate and enjoy unicorns. Can I stay above ground for my breeding purposes? I like sunlight.

i think jon should stay above ground because he is cute.

If I ruled the world everyday would like a porno. A good porno.

I solemnly promise this.

Also, people who were abusive to animals get fed to the lions. Or the poor people. Or poor lions.

0bsessions · « **Reply #23 on:** 11 Jan 2008, 20:31 »

I can also help protect my new Empresses from any zombie outbreaks.

Help, I say, as I would not presume that you couldn't handle it yourselves...

LordNagash · « **Reply #24 on:** 11 Jan 2008, 21:58 »

I would kill all humans.

supersheep · « **Reply #25 on:** 11 Jan 2008, 22:03 »

Abolish Mondays.

28 hour days for all mean four hours extra in bed.

I can't tell you how glad I am that not everyone has forgotten about Boy Meets World.

Boro_Bandito · « **Reply #28 on:** 11 Jan 2008, 22:58 »

If I would rule the world I'd probably be the cause of a zombie breakout that spread across the world, leaving me and a few other pockets of survivors to take back the world or wait for them to die, and then rebuild society in a post-apocalyptic future.

This is actually what I want to happen, seriously guys, is there something wrong with me?

Paav · « **Reply #29 on:** 11 Jan 2008, 23:09 »

Abolish Neckties
Drinking at work required
High Speed Trains
All people having anything to do with a "Reality" TV show are transported to the moon

No joke, this question was on my application for Bard last year.
I don't really remember what I wrote, but I think now that my answer would include something along the lines of elephants for mass transit in major cities, mostly because I dig elephants.

doki · « **Reply #31 on:** 11 Jan 2008, 23:18 »

spend all the world's money on a death cure

then waste it bringing back people like Freddie Mercury and Kurt Cobain and Lennon

wait, that would be awesome, not a waste at all!

To get an idea of my leadership style, you have to find and watch the film King Ralph.

Why just stop with Bob Stinson?

BobJoeJim · « **Reply #34 on:** 12 Jan 2008, 07:25 »

If? IF? The word you're looking for is WHEN.

Baseball will be instituted as a global religion, and the season will be extended to 365 days a year. Sunlight will be abolished because it burns, it BURNS, and I love the rain. This is not mutually exclusive with part one, as baseball in the rain is awesome. Snow will also remain legal. A complex algorithm involving a blindfold and a dartboard will be used to determine who lives and who dies, with JimmyTheSquid in charge of determining the methods of execution. Also, those pussy polar bears in the Coca Cola ads would finally eat the bloody penguins, because one by one the penguins are stealing my sanity, and frankly I'm getting kind of sick of it.

Basebal!?!

You lost my vote.

BobJoeJim · « **Reply #36 on:** 12 Jan 2008, 07:29 »

What if the baseball were played by scorpions? Do I get your vote then? Wait, I don't need votes, this isn't going to be a democracy, never mind. The baseball will still be played by scorpions though.

McTaggart · « **Reply #37 on:** 12 Jan 2008, 07:48 »

I would install myself as the grand arbiter of sportsmanship over the whole world. I would have ultimate power over all appeals made by players. I would be able to reward and penalise teams and players based on whether they were playing in the spirit of the game. I would decide what is cricket and what is just not.

Then I'd leave everything up to whoever it's up to now but I'd be able to make public statements about governments and politics and businesses and people would take my opinion into account because I've helped bring goodwill back into sport and that's flowed on to the people who follow sport and on to the people who interact with them.

Well.... I can't really argue against that.

Also, all sports must be played while drunk. I insist upon this.

it's okay, julia. in my world it would be the ugly and unfashionable that would be hidden underground.

jhocking · « **Reply #41 on:** 12 Jan 2008, 11:03 »

I think I would be a fairly boring ruler. I would probably spend the first couple weeks righting injustices, and that would be good, but after that I'd probably go back to fiddling with my computer all the time and only issuing proclamations in response to my advisers telling me there's some problem I need to deal with.

camelpimp · « **Reply #43 on:** 12 Jan 2008, 12:44 »

Hm... being an adviser instead of world leader may not be a bad idea, ya know. I get a say in how things are done, but none of the paperwork.

If I was an adviser to any major world leader, s/he would have a sign a notice ahead of time promising to not to hang me from the ceiling by putting my flesh on meat hooks. It's just thing I have against it, you know?

By all means, don't leave out the bloodthirsty fanaticism from an imaginary future.

ledhendrix · « **Reply #46 on:** 12 Jan 2008, 15:01 »

I would give everyone a number. Half of those numbers are randomly picked out of a hat and the corresponding people are killed. No people over 60. People with diseases left to die, it's called survival of the fittest not let the weak live. Hitler got it all wrong, he was far to racist, i vote for mass unspecific genocide.

Storm Rider · « **Reply #47 on:** 12 Jan 2008, 15:09 »

If it's unspecific, it's not genocide, just mass murder.

ledhendrix · « **Reply #48 on:** 12 Jan 2008, 15:23 »

Yay for mass murder then.

Tom · « **Reply #49 on:** 12 Jan 2008, 15:31 »

You shouldn't forget people with disabilities, glandular disorders massively faulty genetic codes or the obese, they to will be a burden.
