Despite all the genocide, city razing, surprise sterilizations, forced wealth distribution, legalising harmful susbtances and mistreatment of prisoners? Seriously?Uzbekistan said:I was hoping I'd be a good king!!FateOrFatality said:Man, OP sounds like he would be the worst King ever.

This, along with a making a stripper amusement park. Yes this includes rollercoasters.

....and what did I ever do to you?KelsieKatt said:As soon as I read the title of this thread, my brain deciding to imagine the concept in a completely literal fashion. So, I immediately found myself with an overwhelming urge to slap my hands together and squish it.
In response to the topic though... I'd probably kill off about 90% of the population. Or maybe just straight up destroy the entire thing, including myself. No, I'm not joking.
I think steralizing people..WITHOUT THEIR CONSENT is kind of wrongUzbekistan said:Lets imagine it this way:
It is five mintues into the future. Some things have changed but not much. Through reasons I will let you explain, you have become the King/Queen/Emperor/Empress of Earth. What do you do with it?
I would personally start selecting people for experimentation to reverse some common diseases. Cull people who do not have common sense. Take away as many bullets as I could. Legalize drugs and create entire districts in where it would be perfectly legal to smoke/shoot as much shit as you want, but if you die there, the owner would dispose of your body how they wish. Have prisoners start sorting through landfills and picking out things that could be recycled. Community service would be the same as prisoners. Raze entire citys and have planing that would make sense. A populace that could speak at least two languages from the moment they're born. Slipping sterilization products into the waters in select areas where overpopulation is a problem. Leveying higher taxes for the rich and/or forcing them to become philiantopists. Teaching third world countries how to diversify. Protect forests, oceans and animals so we have a world ten mintues into the future. What would you do?
EDIT: The idea I am proposing is also called "Years in the Future, but Not Many." IT IS NOT A LITERAL FIVE MINTUES INTO THE FUTURE. Read more about it here. [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/TwentyMinutesIntoTheFuture]
So instead of the right to bear arms, everyone will have the right to arm bears?Smallells said:Like creating an army of bears. Reintroducing the bear as a pet. SOMETHING ABOUT BEARS! WHY BEARS? DON'T QUESTION ME, I RULE THE WORLD!!!
And what would you propose you would do when people kept having kids anyway? Urge them harder to not have kids?Vault101 said:I think steralizing people..WITHOUT THEIR CONSENT is kind of wrong
surely there are ways around it..like encouraging not having kids or adoption
I not only like you, but your post and your icon.Smallells said:Well, I'd probably not do much initially. Make Britain's anthem at the Olympics 'Requiem for a Tower'- mainly because I've had it in my head for the past two days- instead of 'God save the (fricken) King/Queen'. Make America's anthem into 'Time Warp' because it's funny, and I'm not cruel enough to put it as something bad.
You know, just mess around with the idea for a few years.
Point to someone on the street: "You, Sir! I want you to slap your own face! MWAHAHA"
Then.....I don't know, promote world peace or something? Some boring stuff like that.
Then I get onto the really important stuff.
Like creating an army of bears. Reintroducing the bear as a pet. SOMETHING ABOUT BEARS! WHY BEARS? DON'T QUESTION ME, I RULE THE WORLD!!!
It's gonna be fun guys, I promise =D
Why pursue these as separate endeavors? Make an amusement park with scientifically enhanced strippers... IN SPACE!

What I was thinking would be a small dosage, so only a few people are completely sterile and the rest... just not as fertile. I would still promote those things publicly. And please do note that I said only in the problem areas, which means the places that are overcrowded (IE: India or China or Egypt)
