Title: If I ruled the world.......
Post by: Alabama-Shrimp on January 23, 2013, 06:54:39 AM
If I ruled the world. I'm sure you've heard it or variations like it a million times so if you could only change two things at a time what would they be?

Its a controversial one to start but I think everyone should drive on the left! Lots of reasons why, the main one it being the proper side to drive on!

And second no enforced metric system. Nothing wrlong with imperial measures, they worked for hundreds of years and if you can do some basic maths it's not hard

Nintendo would be done making hardware. TV and internet would be cheaper. Sports games would come out every 2 years with a update in the middle.

The first two things I would do if I ruled the world would be...

1. Appoint someone else I believed could do better
2. Step down from the position

Sorry for the cop-out.  I just know I'm not qualified. :P

Not to say I don't have opinions about some things going on around here on planet Earth...

More to the important point; what two things would I change in gaming? 

1. Parents accept responsibility for the games their kids play.  I am so, so tired of selling Grand Theft Auto IV, Dead Space 2, and Far Cry 3 to five-year-olds, after explaining the contents to parents who shrug or dismiss it because 'they play it at their friends anyway.'
 
2. Mega-chains would no longer destroy perfectly functional stock because it is discontinued, but instead donate the items to organizations like Child's Play.

Any more would start pointing towards behavior during online gaming and adding more control options for the disabled as standard (hello, southpaw!)

imperial is flawed, metric is great

Don't know if it helps, but I'm slightly red-green colorblind and a co-worker of mine is entirely red-green colorblind. All of our internal tools are colorblind friendly, and it comes up for our central UI work, but don't know if that has gotten over to our artists yet. At least it's something!

If I ruled the world, hmm...

1.) Everyone would be required to wash their cars at least once a month.  I hate seeing dirty, mistreated cars.  ;D

2.) I get to own one example of every car I want.

Yeah, that would be cool...

Heh cool topic.

If i ruled the world, i'd make the 49ers play football in dresses.

Id also throw Snooki into a wood chipper.

That's all.

I'd go for:

1) 1 World Wide Currency
2) 1 World Wide Country

How can you bomb Israel, if you yourself are from Israel too?

Probably pretty naive, but hopefully it would cut down on at least SOME violence somewhere.

No currency. Everything barter and trade.
And if you ruled the world you would be the one deciding to bomb the country that once was Israel.

1) EVERY LIVING CREATURE IS EQUAL AND BE TREATED WITH RESPECT (most people think I mean no hunting, but I don't let me clarify... I think people hunt just to kill they take the hyde, the meat or whatever and waste the rest I think it would be respectful to use EVERY part)

2) NO CURRENCY, NOTHING COSTS ANYTHING

I'd build a space station that would allow me to rule upon high.  Really high.

Oh, and the computer would talk like HAL 9000.

I'd see to it the Pacific Northwest would get more than six hours of direct sunlight a year.

I'd do this in the hopes that certain people who live in that area will stop being a bunch of pissy little whiners.  ;)

'Course, if the whole global warming thing is everything some say it is, this problem will solve itself soon enough.  :grrr:

If I ruled the world, I would go to war with Neptune...I hear those guys are a bunch of a-holes.

Then I would squander my spoils of war in feasting and celebration to the point that my trusted inner circle orchestrates a coup and banishes me to the nether-regions of the galaxy.  There, I would live in anger and spite until a good-hearted local woman befriends me and teaches me how to live, and love, again. 

Then myself and my new lover's tribe would join with my once enemy Neptunians and destroy the now corrupt leaders of earth and return peace to the galaxy.

Age dramatically. Presidents love to do that.

Are you sure you're not thinking of Neptune's next-door neighbor?

You know which planet... don't make me say it.  ;)
