Exclamation Your Vision of The World...

This thread is similar to the Admin for a Day thread Wolfpac made a few monthes ago, except this time you talk it through a God's, President's, or Dictator's view. Basically, it's another lame political thread on how you would like to see the world.

Whether a raging, cross-country battle on war-torn continents or a peaceful civilized world which you know can't exist, spill it out from your view and discuss.

Oh this is fun.
If I were a God I would dedicate my immortal life to the preservation of life in all its forms.
Only those who truly worshiped me, not those favor prayers, would see my divine intervention. However I would smite whoever annoyed me.
Hmm... this is starting to sound like how I behave as a Mod in my chat room.
I'll post what I'd do as a dictator later. Just too much stuff to list.

If I had the power to change the world, I wouldn't. I like it the way it is, but I don't like humans too much. they ruin everything. And I despise hippies. Kill 'em all.

Oh really? Maybe you'd like to live in an uninhabited land with nothing but little furry things for company, with no protection from the sun or various insects/dangerous animals, and you'd eat fruit and vegetables every day, uncooked (as you don't have a stove or frying pan or anything, because they were of course made by humans who ruin everything), and you'd have no protection from the rain or sun, and you'd catch pneumonia/skin cancer and die at 30 years old. Does that sound nice to you? Or do you like sleeping in a comfy bed (made by humans), living in a nice house (made by humans) which protects you from the elements, eating good harmless processed food (which is processed in a factory which you so despise), having everything by your side at a supermarket instead of having to look for it yourself...?

I dunno... Skillya has a point.

I'd pretty much have everything the same, except me... Well, I'd have super powers and I could transform into whatever/whoever I wanted with their powers/intelligence and such. I'd also make really cool things happen. Well, not that I can name any right now, but... you know.

And I would always have an excuse for being late to class (Because always being on time would never be fun)... Like, having a meteor hit me and miraculously I survive, or being eaten by a huge monster or something and be spitten out a day later... I dunno. I'd make it up as I went.

Where Islam doesn't exist, everything is privatized but the military and administration, all drugs are legal, you can do whatever you want to a consenting party above 16, you can worship God without some ACLU nut coming down on you, where the governorship is Dick Cheney, Pim Fortuyn, Donald Rumsfeld, Ronald Reagan and Geert Wilders, where booze, heroin, tanks and cigars are available in convenience stores, and where I am a semiomnipotent computerized program monitoring the planet with the power of life and death. Oh, and Spore is out. And the UN is disbanded. And there is no culture but the West, and a McDonald's on every militia-rentacop patrolled corner of every castle filled street in every castle, church and opium den filled town and the Guardian's staff are stripped naked and loved to death by Rosie O'Donnel and Michael Moore's combined Hollywood bisexual orgy.

Because hippies want to steal money from people through a Mafia scheme called the IRS and use other people's money to repair non existant problems and interfere with people. I have no trouble with people who want to own their own property where they have uber strict ecowacko rules, but keep it out of my face.

Okay this all originally started when someone asked me what I would do if i could go back in time.
I would go back in time during the beginning of the Industrial age. I would go back with my two sisters who I trust with my life and note book filled with various information I deemed useful.
The three of us would form a cult, to outsiders it would appear just a haven for immigrants but thats only a half truth, the cult would preach that my sisters and I were people chosen by God to lead our followers into the next golden age.

With the assistance of my cult I would become a economic power most likely dealing with oil, possibly surpassing Rockefeller. I would make deals and work with other economic powers only to betray them and steal their wealth. I would use my economic strength to promote a white guy for president. The man would pretend to be a true Christian when he is really one of my cultists. I would be the real ruler the white guy would just be a figure head. I would work to make my America to become a military might. Then I would use the media to report fake attacks on America. By everyone wanting vengeance for the nonexistent attack it would be okay to wage war. I would eventually conquer all of world. When this happens I would have the President give all credit for the unification of the world to me. The media would shout me a hero and only report good things, never talking about the death of soldiers or problems throughout the world.

My Cult would replace the senate either by election or through force. With their approval and the President's assent he would step down and allow me to rule. Czar Venks.
The schools would teach of my greatness, practically everything would be fabricated lies. I would rewrite history to my liking. Anyone who disputed my rule or said anything against me would be killed or thrown to the jails to be brain washed via torture. There would be no America it would only be the the Venksian Empire. I wouldn't promote individuality. I would promote/force working as a collective machine. Groups of people meeting for anything other then work would be illegal. I would make sure that human kind does as little damage as possible to nature. As it is simply something I wish for. And what the Czar wants the Czar gets. The future Czars would be either my own or my sister's children.

Ooooo, pwnt. Not to mention using public grounds as a toilet.

I would keep the world exactly the way it is, only heaven would exist, and everyone would get there eventually.

And also, humanity would ditch the retarded-ass conservative form of politics and strive to bring humanity to a point of great living. Not like robots providing everything for us, but where world conflict, disease, and corruption is at a minimum.

If I had the power to change anything, I would get myself a huge mansion somewhere in Florida with a 5 star luxury suite, an Olympic-sized swimming pool, hot tub, waterbed, and my tablet, tablet pen, and all my pencils encrusted with diamonds. Oh, and an army of sexy male individuals to cater to my every need.
Otherwise, I would leave the world as it is. World peace is nice, but it would get awfully boring after a while. You know that inexplicable bliss you get, when the war is finally over, or when the epidemic ceases, or when the tyrant is overthrown? There's a reason the bad things exist, and that is so the good things can also exist. You can say they're even amplified by the existance of evil.

Anyway, where's my sexy male slave army?!

Hmm...

The biggest change would be respect. Tolerance isn't enough, everyone would respect other people's views, religions or whatever. That would solve most, if not all, of the world's human crises.

Drugs, on the other hand, I would have a hard line on drugs. Everything except caffeine (and, reluctantly, alcohol). I mean seriously, while those who willingly vandalise their brains have given up the right to have them, these people do need to be looked after for their own good. And seriously, what a mark on someone's personality, that to enjoy themselves they must addle their minds so. In such an amazing and interesting world we have actually invented boredom, thus proving we can do the impossible. And because of it, we need drugs! Well, I'm sorry, but in my world the respect for each other also extends to ourselves, and the universe around us.

Perhaps then we can appreciate what we have and maybe not do all in our power to desecrate it. If everyone took five minutes out of each day to do something they wouldn't normally do, for the environment or for other people, well, that's six and a half billion times five minutes... 61,834 years worth of environmental and humanitarian aid everyday. Of course, it may not work out quite like that, since there's only so much you can do in five minutes, but the concept is there to be refined.

And that is just the beginning...

All religion would be banned and anyone breaching this rule will surely be stoned to death. A world without religion and look at how much more peacefull we all become .

Also I would build a huge as nuclear rocket to plummit into PV's planet...

I would die, but then come back AS Kastere, (The half-title of my COZ character) and would be omnipotent, and could grant wishes, I would kill Take geroge bush prisoner and make Bill Gates rape dick Cheney, all decisions on War would simply be "Fire your Rockets at me". Because I wouldnt die, everyone would run out of rockets.

Maybe we could join forces.. Cybermen and Dalek style.
Havoc Worlder: Identify Yourself!
PV Worlders: You will identify first!
Havoc Worlder: State you designation!
PV Worlders: You will identify first!
Havoc Worlder: IDENTIFY!
PV Worlders: That is illogical. You will modify.
Havoc Worlder: Atheists do not take orders.
PV Worlders: You have been identified as atheists.
Havoc: Outline resembles the inferior species known as the religious!
PV Worlder: Our species are similar, though your politics are weak.
Dalek Thay: Daleks have no concept of weakness!
PV Worlder: This is obvious. But consider, our technologies are compatible. Religious imperialists plus atheists; together, we could convert the universe.
Havoc Worlder: You propose an alliance?
PV Worlder: This is correct.
Havoc Worlder: Request denied!
PV Worlder: Hostile elements will be deleted. [they shoot at the atheist, but it is unaffected]
Havoc Worlder: Exterminate! [exterminates both PV Worlders]
Patrick Vykkers: [to another PV worlder] Open visual link!
[the Patrick Vykkers appears on a screen in front of the other three Havoc Worlders]
Patrick Vykkers: Atheists, be warned. You have declared war upon the Technocratifican Republic.
Havoc: This is not war. This is bigot control!
Patrick Vykkers: We have five million soldiers. How many are you?
Havoc: Four.
Patrick Vykkers: You would destroy the PV Worlders with four atheists?
Havoc: We would destroy the PV Worlders with one atheist! You are superior in only one respect.
Patrick Vykkers: What is that?
Havoc: You are better at being stupid.
