my wishes would be peace on earth, good health for everyone, and no war.

one would be unlimited wishes. and thats my only wish.

you cannot wish for more wishes

I would wish for true love with the person God wants me to be with, governments in the world to have leaders that will make the world better not worse, and for the world to be shown the love of Jesus Christ

I'd wish for the love of the woman who's been driving me up the wall for the past 6 years of my life, to know the moment at which I would die, and to make an impact of some sort on the world before that moment came.

Harmony with god,peace and no violence.

i would wish for no hunger,for good people not being able to die,and no more fights

hmmm...

So then no one will die.

How about this:

that humanity will never die out.

Not from self-inflicted extinction, not from the death of the sun, not from the heat death of the universe, not from anything.

Then again, is that a scary thought?

no i mean good people,so criminals will die unless they truly change

There can't be criminals without fights.

yes you can, are you the judge, no. then i would wish for osama to apear in the middle of rush hour NY, so hed get the **** beaten outta him by people getting out of there cars. another would be all terrorists put giant cigars in all of there mouths and fire a huge heatseeker missle at them. and the whole world peace thing blah blah... and whatever want.

How about wishing for the Middle East to have been developed and educated, so that the terrorism would never have been able to sprout?

That's a good one.

ooooo, good one. and those kids on the streets in egypt can find anywere to get an education

anywhere?! that means they could go to a hole in the ground and they're educated?

no, anywere that can help them get educated

That poverty didn't exist, and that I had a magic hamster that granted my every wish, and for a million-billion dollars.

Id wish for all the true people die and all the bad people to die, and for me and all the woman in the world that are hot were still alive.

Who are the "true people"?

Before I make mine, I'd like to respond to a few of the above wishes.

cheat_knower_93, see above post. What do you mean by "true people"?

Herloss, your wish "To know the moment at which I would die". Why would you want to know that? I really don't get it. If it were soon or younger than I'd wanted to die I might become less content with my life, and if it were at a ripe old age, aren't these things better left as pleasant surprises? But it's funny, it could create a sort of weird time paradox, like if you knew you would die at age 112, you could attempt suicide a thousand times at any age before then, say in your twenties, and you'd neve succeed. Then again, it doesn't say anything about the circumstances of your death at the moment of your death, so it's possible that you see you die at age 112, you attempt suicide at age 21 knowing you'll fail, and you DO fail BUT it results in you being a vegetable for the rest of your life and you live until age 112. That would really suck eh? Anyway, I've rambled a bit too much...

Mario, "for good people not being able to die" I have to disagree. You realize what happens as a result of this wish? People can't die, but they're still susceptible to disease. It become a curse. As people continue aging, yet are forced to stay alive due to the wish you made, many terrible fates will befall all those that have been affected by this wish. All their teeth fall out, they lose their faculties of sight, hearing, smell, etc. The wish of protection against death does NOT protect against aging, and as the body ages... well, things happen to it, you know? Sometimes we just need to move on, and just die. And IF the wish was protection against aging, well, our human race NEEDS new minds and new ideas, and unless we allow the natural cycle of out with the old, in with the new(/young) to proceed at its natural pace, the creative abilities of our race will come to a screeching halt. Have you read Gulliver's Travels? In the third land (IIRC) Gulliver travels to, he encounters a society with some people who are born with the fate of having to live forever.

Oh jeez... I was meaning for a short response to these two wishes, but it seems I've written a sort of a mini-essay. Forgive me, it's one of my quirks. I'll move on to my three wishes.

-I wish for 20/10 vision ( = vision that is twice as good as 20/20 vision). I am nearsighted, and this disorder troubles me immensely. If I had vision that was better than normal, I could die at any moment and I would die perfectly happy. I realize that there is a possibility for vision such as 20/5 or maybe even 20/2, but I will content myself with 20/10 vision.
-I wish I was ambidextrous. Another quirk of mine. I always was puzzled by the fact that people are only able to use one of their hands for writing and other coordination intensive activities, which was the right hand in my instance. It seems very restricting, so the thought of being ambidextrous was very appealing to me. I started using my left hand a bit, and I've gotten to the point where I can handle chopsticks (yes, I'm Asian) with it, but the writing is still subpar, and it is nowhere as proficient as a true ambidextrous person. Perhaps I am biased in wanting to be ambidextrous, for one of my closest friends is ambidextrous, and both my grandmother and my father, as well as another friend of mine, were left handed but forced to become right handed in their youths.
-I wish to save my third wish for further use so I can use it when I can actually think of a third wish.

I'd like to know the moment so I would know what kind of time frame I'd have to get things done. For instance, if I knew that I was going to die 3 hours from now, you can bet your arse that I'd be doing things right now.

And being a vegetable cant be that bad. You're basically dead. No brain function=dead as far as I'm concerned.

Ah, I see. Does it mean that if you knew you were to die in three hours, you could accomplish a lot of things, but would not do these things if you knew that you would die in 90 years? Why is that? I suppose I have an answer for that one, and that is the sense of urgency. The last minute effect. I, as a huge procrastinator, am all too familiar with the last minute effect. The incredible urgency and panic of the last minute can sometimes lead to brilliant inspiration. But maybe it's different for you?

Ah. I suppose. Maybe they can still feel pain and everything, but I guess not because they've lost brain function and probably aren't conscious. I don't know... if I were a vegetable I'd hope that someone just kills me off instead of taking the trouble to keep me alive... maybe the vegetable thing wasn't the best example. You can think of others. At any rate, perhaps it doesn't matter because I think it's doubtful that you'd attempt suicide at a young age just because you say, "Hah I can't die before I'm 100 years old so I can do this and I won't die! This'll be fun!!!"

That's kind of it. Like, I could die tomorrow, and on my deathbed I wont have regretted anything I've done or havn't done, but that has more to do with the way I live my life. Hell with the past, hell with the future, I'm living right now. But if I KNEW I was going to die tomorrow, there are people who I would really like to spend my last hours with.


I've already had the convorsation with my parents and other people close to me that, if I'm in a position where I'm either going to die, or I'm going to be severely handicapped (paralyzed, missing limbs, a vegetable), I'd much rather that I was just allowed to die.

I understand what you mean. I think I agree with your views there. I am mostly concerned with the present rather than the past or the future, but if I was given only days to live I would also want to make those days as meaningful as possible.



Well I would certainly perfer being allowed to die if I were a vegetable because I've lost brain function at that point, but I think I'd have to consider more carefully about being paralyzed or missing limbs. There are people who are like that, with severe physical handicaps, and they still make the most out of their lives. I'm really not sure, because it all depends. I guess for me, the only absolute fact is that everything is relative. However, I think I've got a general rule. If my mind is still fully intact and I retain my personality and intellect and everything - in short, if i'm still me - I would prefer to be kept alive. I've still got my life to live, and as long as I'm still me on the inside, I will live it. However, if I am to become severely mentally retarded or otherwise mentally impaired, I'd rather that I was allowed to die in those circumstances.

Me too. If my mind is gone, just go ahead and kill me.
If it's just my body, though... say I'm completely paralyzed and have no conscious control over motor functions whatsoever... I might prefer to take the chance that someone invents a way to communicate through Electroencephalography. Hey, maybe I'll go ahead and invent it before I get paralysis.


-----Edit-----

Darn it, someone got there before me. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brain-compute...an_BCI_research

hmm 3 wishes... I do not believe, that I yet have the wisdom to answer that question, and i doubt i ever will, but im sure one day if i thought about it for long enough, i would think of some paradox loophole type wish and choose that for one of them, and i would probly make some wish (by accident, i hope) that makes the universe that we know come to a grinding hault. I would order for the re-creation of man to a more perfect being that isint as troubled as we are now, but heres the paradox, if all of creation is just "deleted" and remade then i would have never been born, and there for i would have never made that wish, meaning that there would be, nothing, the creation process that i had ordered would have never happened and it would be stuck in between creation and distruction, absolute nothing. now see my wish before that one would be to ensure that i was the last of the old beings before they are all destroyed there for i was born ensuring that i did make those wishes and the next creation that i had wished for would be made, and for my third wish, the insurace that if anything whent horibley wrong with this new race of human i could reverse all of this that i had unleashed on the universe, there for reversing anything that i had done, but then i would prob make the wishes again making a never ending loop of the distruction and creation of the human race, and we would all live in the same day, do the same day over and over so i would have caused more harm to the universe then i had helped it and there for defeating the point of making the wish to start a new creation of humans, and while trying to help them i would be the utter distruction of them, those are my wishes that i would grant if i were ever given a choice of 3 wishes. sorry it had to be so long.

The third one's a good one. "Insurance".

I'd like to put in some three wishes jokes. Bobalini's mentioning of the "insurance" and "reverse everything if I screw up" wish reminded me of the first one, which in turn reminded me of the other one.

The first joke:


The second joke is a lawyer joke:


Be assured I have nothing against lawyers, I merely thought the joke was amusing.

ah well my brain was pretty fried after that but i am back to make another huge paragraph if needed. just ask and ill make another one

Who deserve to die.

What makes a person a "True person"?
