Simple rules of the game: You have 3 wishes. You cannot wish for more wishes, more genies, or anything else that would artificially create more wishes other than the original 3 you are granted. Besides that? I don't care. You want love? You got it. You want money? Here you go. I only ask that you make your wishes as specific as possible... And please, try to be original and somewhat realistic. $1,000,000,000,000 is just stupid.

I want:

1. No more debt
2. Free books for the rest of my life
3. A career that is fulfilling and provides me with enough money to travel.






Edit: Would a Mod please spell Aladdin correctly for me? Thx.

Trouble arrives when the opponents to such a system institute its extreme opposite, where individualism becomes godlike and sacrosanct, and no greater service to any other ideal (including community) is possible. In such a system rapacious greed thrives behind the guise of freedom, and the worst aspects of human nature come to the fore....

I loathe you.

I wish for 3 exceedingly worse deaths for your PedoBear.





Edit: I should've known it would only take one post...

I'm sorry I killed your thread. :(

1. To meet the perfect girl for me, preferably white.

2. To have a bank account that is always full.

3. To own all the books I want

1. My own holodeck that never breaks down (like the one on Star Trek always did). Think about it! You could live out any fantasy you wanted. You could BE Anomander Rake if you wanted to be.

2. I wish that, while walking on a secluded beach, I stub my toe on a treasure chest filled with rare gold coins worth, you guessed it, $1,000,000,000,000. And, since it is gold, when the dollar ceases to be worth anything, gold will still allow me to be rich.

Hmm, between those to wishes, I'm not sure what else to ask for.

3. A transporter button that will take me anywhere in the world in an instant.

Alternative 3. The ability to shape shift into any person, animal or aquatic creature. Being able to fly as an eagle or explore the ocean as a killer whale would be outstanding.

My wishes? Hmmm

1) I wish there is a thing called magic, which some humans can perform, and that I'm one of those people.
2) I wish everybody I ever met remembers me in a good way (preferably by them thinking I was probably the greatest person they ever met)
3) I wish all wars are over and the only killing to be done between humans are the murders we see, but no big battlefront with people dying by scores.

The first two wishes were rather selfish, so a selfless wish as last is always nice :( (you can wonder why I'd still allowmurders and stuff: well, because it's the most natural thing to do. Taking away all fighting is just too unnatural)

1) ability to slow down time
2) Enough money so that me and my extended family would not ever have to worry about being poor--preferrably with a un-fail-able business venture as the source. but not enough money so that we would be the richest and everyone would hate us. just in the neighbourhood of 1.5 Standard deviations on the normal curve distribution of the world's wealth.
3) Peace, stability and prosperity worldwide, and especially back home (UA)

maybe I'm crazy, but I wouldn't change my holodeck wish for anything else.

No, there's a plan.


See, I drink all the beer. Get hungry. Eat the sub. Then get sad because I'm so drunk and full and hate my job. But wait, what's this? Check my lotto ticket. Hey, I won. Whoa, triple check because I'm so drunk. Whoa, still won. YAY!

1- To have enough money to buy and do up (as I please) the derelict abandoned house down the road. It's a wicked house. :p
2- To have a stable job that supplies me and my gf with enough money to live comfortably.
3- To stop people being so easily led by the media.

That'd do me just fine. :(

1) The ability to manufacture any amount of any currency at any time using only my mind.

2) The ability to travel through time and space with impunity - meaning, nothing I do will ever have negative and/or irreversible consequences.

3) The ability to any know whatever I need to know whenever I need to know it. Need to fly a helicopter? Check. Need to perform open heart surgery? Check. You get the idea.
