I would fuck up the invading menace- and everything else. Just for the shits and giggles.

If I had that power I would want to make life a bit more interesting. I don't think I could just let the world burn, so I would try to stop the world from completely going to hell. But I would still want to shake things up a bit to see what happens.

Here's a question. If you had the chance to save the world. Let's say that some evil force from outside our universe came and you were the only person who could save the world. Would you do it? Why or why not? Would you do it happily or would you grumble about it?

I personally would, but barely. To be honest, it'd take a lot of goading to do it. It sounds jerk-a**ish, but I can't help but have nothing but disdain for 99% of the world nowadays. Sure, it's generalized, but after everything I've seen and heard in my 22 years on this earth, I can't help but feel a generalized hatred of just about everything.
Oh, I hear you.

I personally think that the world in general is big ole pile of suck...

But that's only in general.

If it came down to it, you're not saving it for the assholes, the cowards, the greedy or the exploiters.

You're saving it for the people you love, the ones who've shown you random acts of kindness, the people who gave you directions when lost, the ones who just gave a nice smile at an unexpected moment.

I've been feeling pretty misanthropic of late myself, but a good friend pointed out that the world doesn't have a vendetta against you personally, no matter what it seems like.
I have a dim view of human nature usually, but I find that for every prick and asshole out there, there's someone who's worth their weight in gold.

I'd save it for them.

In a heartbeat.

I actually quite like us as a species, and have yet to see anything that would really make me worry about humanity as a whole.

Heck Yeah!! It be awesome, if not a task worthy of the history books!
I've had a feeling to go on an epic quest around the world with a rag-tag group of friends to protect the world as we know it. We would go around, preforming good deeds and self-realizing tasks as we fought evil entities from domestic and afar. Yeah, it's technically insane to believe you'll one day advert a disaster, or calm a large debate, but it's really not impossible.

Is there anything better I could do with my life? No? Then why not.

Nothing appeals to me more than giving of myself to help others. Personally i want to go into government to help soothe this burning passion. That's how great my "helps the average person complex" is

I probably would. I don't like chaos and loud noise and riots and such. I won't stand for it XP So I shall save the world so everyone can have some peace and quiet!

(Though, like a previous poster said, context is pretty important here... Still, I'm so hardwired into being nice that I wouldn't be able to run away and hide or refuse to help. I'm compulsively nice... XP)

I'd be a hero. You know why? Because The Call Knows Where You Live. [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/TheCallKnowsWhereYouLive]

I couldn't duck the responsibility if I wanted to. And neither could any of you.

Nah, too much work. I and everyone else seems to be mortal/finite anyway, so I'd only be postponing the inevitable.

Of course, appeal to my self-interest enough and I might consider it, at least long enough to reject it only somewhat offhand.

I might be if the end was worth it enough for me, if not then I would be a total ass-hole and use the same stuff againts the world at the same time as who ever was also attacking and wipe them out and part of the world along with it.

As much as I rant about humanity's overall lameness and how many people don't even merit the right to their existence, yes, I'd save the world. It is my home after all.
