Poll: Would you really rule the world?

[Pentarch]

Yes, but I'd want to rule from the shadows have some gimp in my place to protect from assassinations.

 

[fishman[cccp]]

The only way humankind is ever going to build a bridge to space is if we unite, And making me leader is a good( read awful) way to do that.

 

[Mezrev]

I've got enough things to do without ruling the world, too much effort. I'm too lazy for that stuff.

 

[InProgress]

No. I would refuse the job and blow the effing Earth up!

 

[CNKFan]

I would and I would start by cleaning up the planet, every Tuesday is applesauce day, and of course start work on a moon colony.

 

[CheeseSandwichCake]

I'll start by firing Africa into space, solving poverty in that region... Which would then cause the sea levels to lower, which would mean I'd be required to find more water from space.

Then I'd legalize drug use and guns everywhere, only I'd make the tax on such trades EXTREMELY high (75% of all profits, which would then drag prices up too) which would then discourage people from selling such things.

Then after 4 years in office I'll take 20% of the world's worth and build myself a space station with robot butlers, sex slaves and infinite food so I can go into hiding for 20 years.

 

[Scarecrow38]

I would make every Head of Government/ Head of State answerable to me and bound to follow my commands. But I would basically live life as I do now, except I now have an infinite amount of money and full access to the SAS and helicopters. Nothing says convenience and security like the SAS escorting you around the place. Never need to drive again.

 

[GodsOneMistake]

Probably... the world would be better off with me in charge

 

[UltimatheChosen]

Nope... I'm a terrible leader.

 

[EMFCRACKSHOT]

I'm unbearably disorganised and I have little self-motivation. So, no.

I rather like the world like it is: Not on fire everywhere.

It would be so much cooler if the world was on fire everywhare.

And yes, i would totally push the button. All that power and stuff, who cares if i use it innapropriately. I would make a great dictator and then we would go and colonise the moon and i would achieve my life goal of being emporer of the moon

 

[electric_warrior]

i'd take £1 from every person from each of the g20 nations, then renounce power as a millionaire(or billionaire, i'm not sure)

 

[Firebert]

I'm way too lazy to rule the world. Especially because I procrastinate and don't really like making important decisions.

 

[vanguard_anon]

I'd do it. With absolute control I think I could make things a whole lot better than they are now. Heck, ending wars and giving back rights and privacy would be major steps forward. My government would have much less waste too.

Also, it's sound better than my current job which is a "Sr. Architect" (programmer that designs and manages other programmers).

 

[Agent Larkin]

Just look over people by filing them away.

 

[fix-the-spade]

Yes, I'd rapidly amass a fortune the likes of which none had ever seen, declare myself and my property a tax haven for all eternity, then stand down and return power to the governments of the world.


Nothing much would change, the US motor industry's bailout would've gone into my pockets rather than down the drain and the entire board of every major World bank would have been taken out at and shot (as a warning to their replacements about the dangers of unsustainable fiscal policy).
Other than that I'd just be a brief money grabbing dictatorship to democracy...

 

[electric_warrior]

i'd take £1 from every person from each of the g20 nations, then renounce power as a millionaire(or billionaire, i'm not sure)

?
billionaire
0.001% of everyones income on the planet would be far fairer , and give you far more

no cause then i'd be taking money from like incredibly impoverished people, which seems wrong no matter how small the ammount.
also im not greedy

 

[BlackLiger]

I would. But that's just me. I'd be the power behind the throne though. Immortal, unaging, and forever the person the current ruler turns to for advice.

 

[CircuitDruid]

I would for sure, and id be dam evil too. I'd shut down nuclear plants, make deforestation a crime worthy of capital punishment, sink any country contested by holy war to the bottom of the sea, and force the Australian government to develop a realistic water usage program.

And create an army of mutant lion/goldfish... dam that would be awesome.

i approve of this plan of yours, you may have forgotten about enforcing population control.

Your right! ill put it to my lion/goldfish committee, give em sharper teeth or something, perhaps move on to carnivorous giraffes.

you should have those carnivorous giraffes or your lion/goldfish committee start with China and their ridicously out of control population.

I don't think it would be fair to deny anyone in the world my carnivorous giraffes.
