What do you wish life was like?

What do you wish life was like?
I thought it could be interesting to see what other people would like the world to be like.

I wish that life could be like a 70's cop show - there are bastards that break the law one way or another, but get captured. And also that the cops drove around in a red Torino. With a white stripe down the side. And that everyone except big-headed people who think that they're so smart (I have a name for them - smartarses) could be millionaires. That'd be great. Actually, I'd demand execution of those types of people. I know that sounds a little drastic, though.
Oh, and one more - that I could rule the world. That doesn't sound very nice, but I want to rule it to try and make it a better place. Now I sound like Dr. Sam Beckett. Next I'll be asking Ziggy what I have to do to get out of here. Not the Ziggy on the forums, the Quantum Leap Ziggy.

[snuzi]

I wish that life was just a bit easier, and didn't consist of so many responsibilities that prevent us from achieving our dreams.

EDIT: I would also like it if The Program, from Battle Royale, existed. Sure, it's sick, but I'd be too excited about being terrified while participating to care .

Family Guy, with time progression, Robert Spencer as the foreman of the War on Terror, and a perpetual virus that floats around giving people who think Islam is a race or peaceful, people who believe in nonsensical BS like as(s)trology, and moonbats a mark saying "Retard" on their forehead. Oh, and with the BBC/Guardian staff locked in an asylum. And the Golden Mean fallacy removed. And Battle Pope at the head of the church.

[Alf Shall Rise]

A huge white room that never ends, and whatever you think of comes to life. It would be a very sick and twisted world then.

[Bullet Magnet]

Whenever I take off my shades/put them back on and make a joke about the dead guy lying before me, I want The Who to suddenly start playing Won't Get Fooled Again while everyone endures sudden and well-edited hallucinations.

[Jordan]

I wish life wasn't such a bitch...

[mitsur]

DOA Beach Volleyball, and I'm the lifeguard on duty.

Oh yeah.

...Dear lord, what a ****tard. Mostly about your BBC/Guardian comment, I have to say.

Otherwise, @ thread: HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

[Patrick Vykkers]

What can I say? I plain just don't like the BBC or Guardian. They suffer from chimpymcbushitlerislamophobiczionazijoophobia and a bunch of Chamberlinian dhimmi moonbats. And (KKK)omment is Free is about as much a source of logic as the Stormfront Forums. My sources of news tend to lean more towards a Jihad Watch/LGF/MEMRI/Pim Fortuyn kind of politics.

[moxco]

I wish life was perfect and everyone was my slave. mehawhaw

[snuzi]

Please, stop trying to be funny. It's pathetic.

[moxco]

Im not trying to be funny.

[OddjobAbe]

I just realised another thing I'd like - that if something horrible happened, that you could 'quantum leap' back into time to prevent it from happening. That's the wonderful thing about quantum leaping. Seriously, that'd be nice.

Also, MoxCo, if everyone were your slaves, sooner or later there'd be a revolution.

[Patrick Vykkers]

A quantum leap would be a physical leap on a microscopic scale, like a hyperminiaturized version of an ant leaping. Didn't create this, thanks to Dr Kaplan of "Great Science Mythconceptions".

[Jordan]

Moxco, if everyone were your slave, bad grammar would be flying all over the place. And the planet would be called Eraht.

That's cool. Now rewrite that as if you were a real person.

Very true.

[Patrick Vykkers]

Eh, as long as he calls this planet Terra, and a couple other things, I'm happy. Also, Mutual Friend, a translation is thus;
I dislike the BBC/Guardian because I view them as biased against Bush, America, Israel, and (neo)conservatism. They carry an attitude towards Islam reminscient of historical second class citizens in Islamic states and Neville Chamberlain, except there was not a war with Naziism at Chamberlains time. The Guardian's Comment is Free site is one I view as a racist, leftist cesspool reminscient of white supremacist site Stormfront's forums. My politics lean towards those expressed by conservatives or libertarians with a pro Israel leaning, anti Islam leaning, and a great suspicion towards organizations such as the United Nations.

[Mutual Friend]

I'll leave the Guardian thing to one side as I simply do not know enough about the matter (even though I consider it 'my' newspaper). But I do think what you've said is a load of melodramatic, pompous hogwash. Like most of your posts.

But on the BBC, you're completely and utterly incorrect. In fact, if the BBC were guilty of those things the government would come down upon the corporation like a tonne of bricks. Impartiality is written into its charter, and has a high level of restriction placed upon it. It even carries a news item during the morning broadcast where complaints over the BBC's news coverage from the public are addressed by the appropriate journos.

The BBC is the finest news you can find anywhere, and is widely well-regarded across Terra. I'm afraid your ridiculous, over-baked opinions say far more about yourself than the reputation of the BBC.

EDIT: Lets make this interesting, actually. Give me an example of BBC reporting (and the Guardian, if you like) that displays it as "biased against Bush, America, Israel, and (neo)conservatism. They carry an attitude towards Islam reminscient of historical second class citizens in Islamic states and Neville Chamberlain, except there was not a war with Naziism at Chamberlains time." Go on, dare ya.

[Arxryl]

I wish that life could be like... hm.... well...

Anime/Manga series (not just japanese): Well, not exactly, I mean, I would want our voices to correspond with our mouth movements, but it'd be cool to have slow motion scenes and actionpacked-everyday-lives.

Under My absolute Control: Being able to have meteors hit things at my will, and have everything go as I'd want it, and stuff like that. If I were late to school, I'd have an excuse, or I'd never be late. And when I say excuse, I mean the kind of excuse that states: " I got hit by a comet right before I entered the classroom. thankfully I survived without any noticable damage to my body, or physical pain.
Yes, that'd be cool.

Oddworld: Well, you can probably tell why, but still. It'd be cool to see that stuff in the flesh and blood instead of pixel and paint.

And finally

Anthropomorphic world (Furries): This'd still be very cool. Running around as a wolf-like human and stuff like that. I'm sure Havoc would enjoy that very much.(legally being able to marry/go out with a tiger-woman.)

[Strike Witch]

I want earth destroyed. Now.

[Rex Tirano]

I would love if life was a musical. It'd be so fun randomly bursting into song every once in a while. It'd get annoying though...

I'd like something similar: having psychic abilities, and being completely indestructable.

That way, I'd be able to wreak havoc all over Earth, and there would be no one who could stop me from doing so. Although, that would probably get boring fast, since I would eventually like to have a battle-to-the-death with a worthy adversary .

[Havoc]

I'd want a world without organized religion. See if we can survive without it .

Other then that I would want a world where man and tiger could co-exist... duh.

Tiger

[snuzi]

I'd want a world without organized religion.

That'd be utopia .

[Paramite of War]

I'm not sure, but I think I would like to live on Middle-Earth.

I think that would be pretty interesting. I'd definately be of the feline lineage- preferably with black fur.

[Al the Vykker]

I wish I lived back in the 20's, in the rich Jazzy atmosphere with classy people, a level of naive thinking in terms of smoking and alcohol, etc. but a fun and thriving time in America, I wouldnt mind being one of the Jazz musicians in a big band either.

Hello kids, and welcome to Peewee's Playhouse. Today's secret word is ad hominem.

Also, Pravda was probably trusted in the USSR. That doesn't make it reliable. Eugenics was loved by damn near everybody before and even a little bit after WW2. You are both using appeal to authority and appeal to numbers.


Example #1: http://www.biased-bbc.blogspot.com
Has found and debunked huge wads of BBC doublespeak and nonsense.

Example #2: http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/in_depth/3192861.stm
On question 10, the "correct" answer is C. While Islam does indeed not entirely reject Judaism and Christianity, is sure as hell does not respect Jews and Christians as "People of the Book". Nearly all of these verses (made when Mohammad was in Mecca) are superseded according to hundreds of years of Islamic jurispredence (http://www.jihadwatch.org/archives/013367.php).

Example #3: http://www.bbc.co.uk/religion/religi...am/index.shtml
They address Mohammad with "Peace Be Upon Him". Yet on http://www.bbc.co.uk/religion/religi...ty/index.shtml
they do not refer to Christ as "the Lord". If the BBC is so impartial, it should either refer to Mohammad as a Prophet with PBUH's and Christ with the Lord title. And the Holy Land is something held to Islam, so you can't use that to argue they've been pro Christian on that page.

Example #4:http://news.bbc.co.uk/hi/english/wor...000/521164.stm
They refer to the Holy Land as Palestine thousands of years before the Romans occupied and renamed it Palestine to perform an etymological insult to the Jews. It would be like calling the Byzantines or Romans Italians.

Guardian Example:
http://www.guardian.co.uk/attackonlo...814725,00.html
The usual crap about "poor wittle opwessed Muslims being dawntrawden by teh evil West and only the glorious prawcess of neegoshiatain can saave us!".
If Muslims are so oppressed, why is Osama heir to half a billion? Why do even conservative outlets like FOX kowtow to terrorist front group CAIR? (http://www.anti-cair-net.org). Why the huge amount of kowtowing in Europe towards Islam during the cartoon wars (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Interna...ns_controversy) and the hosting of a ridiculous crybaby conference by the EU? (http://www.jihadwatch.org/dhimmiwatc...ves/011531.php) Blaming "Islamophobia" (how one can have an irrational fear of Islam is utterly beyond me) for the bombings is like blaming Naziphobia for the Holocaust.

I despise the BBC and even more the Guardian because I view them as both embodiments of the Golden Mean Fallacy ("the middle ground is always correct") and the kind of idiot who sits back screeching about some splinters in Western eyes while not bothering to see the forest in the Islamic one and railing against the very systems and civilizations that have given us freedom of speech and human rights. And if this makes me longwinded, call me the AntiStattik.

[OddjobAbe]

That'd be a utopia .

Grammar, grammar! That'd be 'Utopia'! Only winding you up. I'll leave you to correcting people's grammar. Don't want to cause another argument.

I want earth destroyed. Now.

You stole my dream. I wanted to destroy the world, because it isn't what I'd want it to be like. Why couldn't the world be like a 70's cop show?

I would love if life was a musical. It'd be so fun randomly bursting into song every once in a while. It'd get annoying though...

I can imagine that - somebody's being held hostage, then one of the hostages start singing about the situation, then they get shot in the head for dancing. I can also imagine that in a 'Poseidon Adventure' situation - the rogue wave hits the boat, then the captain starts singing, "Oh, no, the ship is turning upside down!"
