You find a genie

[paradoxical.lustre]

and you have 3 wishes. What would your 3 wishes be.

My 3 wishes would be:

1) immortality for my entire family.
2) A infinite bank account
3) a cure for cancer.

 

[LMF_Eddie]

That's a lot of back...

 

[GSXR GIRL]

I don't know what you're talking about.:na:

 

[Sgt Remeriz]

a plateful of cinnamon rolls

a hug from SillyGirl

three more wishes.

 

[marc antony]

to be 25 again

to be single again

to look like a greek god!

 

[Logan]

Cure for cancer...

No question! :great:

I'll give my other 2 to someone else...

 

[Freda]

LOL, you'd waste a whole wish just for a hug?

That's just silly! :tongue:

 

[dnn_brttn]

I thought it would be tasteless and a bit greedy to ask for a shag with you. :???:

 

[magnoliafan]

Not sure it was a wasted wish.

After all, wish number 3 was for three more wishes.

I'm a bit surprised that number 1 is a plateful of cinnamon rolls, though.

Personally, I'd rank that way below a hug from SillyGirl.

 

[amranKay]

Hmmm just found out what a hot carl was in the cool handles thread:beurk:

Maybe we need to check the urban dictionary for a definition for "cinnamon rolls" maybe they are better than the hug???

3 wishes Id have to really think about it, long life, wealth, personal magnetism and attractiveness, wisdom, sexual prowess, power, all selfish I suppose...cures for cancer and world hunger, people to understand we are not so different from each other....peace...hmmmm would have to be a really powerful genie.

Ill have to get back to you

(but I like the 3 more wishes option)

1. Total health- without that nothing matters

2. To tell someone I never got the chance to before they passed how much they meant to me.

3. I would undo the aneurysm my ex had in 1999- She didn't deserve what happened to her.

 

[gamblingsucks]

I'd wish for a 12-inch dick, because this big one's just too much.

 

[SureThingBATMAN]

Are you telling us you're just a big dick?

 

[Emily G]

immortality is not all it's cracked up to be. Just think that you'd live to see so many people around you die, and then anyone they'd meet would die (because you said YOUR entire family, not THEIR entire family). Plus (like in the movie the green mile) you'd still age so you'd probably spend 1,000 yrs as a decrepid old man who couldn't move....who'd want that? and what if you or someone you loved had a bad accident and became paralyzed?

Cure for cancer. Well, that may benefit individuals but not the planet as a whole. We have way too many people as it is now if we start curing too many more diseases all it would be doing is quickening the inevitable demise of the planet (at our hands). We need more natural population controls not less.

I would wish for the technology to create a renewable energy source that is easily transportable. Something akin to Dylithium Matrixes that could be used to power spacecraft, ships, cars etc.

FTL travel so we might actually be able to explore the universe as opposed to just dreaming about it. Even with FTL travel the distances involved make it just about impossible.

The abolishment of organized religion. I think if we keep this up it will be our eventual downfall. There are wayyyy too many people who will kill over a work of fiction......

 

[Greg B]

Yes, but killing over a work of fiction keeps the population down. :he:

On the other hand, maybe without religion we'd feel it's no big deal to kill since there's no eternal damnation? :???:

Wish #1 - 10 Gazillion wishes
Wish #2 - Give everybody on the planet $100,000
Wish #3 - Allow anyone to use one of my wishes for a cost of $75,000 (to control for inflation)

This way, everyone gets their wish, and I get stinking rich off the process.

 

[Pompal 09.]

Sir, you are hired as my next apprentice!:

 

[Risika]

And given that is your wish, you owe me $75,000 Mr Trump arty:

 

[Tasha Posey]

:You're good!: You have any stock tips you want to share?:

 

[Pompal 09.]

there isn't.....:666:

More on that "keeping the population down", I saw a documentary on a couple who had this child with this horrible genetic disorder. (three heads, no brain or something horrible like that). When the parents got together, one said "I carry this gene so any kids we might have might have this disorder". The other one was tested and she had the gene too. So what did they do? had a kid and woop, it had the disorder which was going to require millions of dollars of medical treatment throughout it's life and it will never achieve self-awareness or something like that. Now if the couple were paying this money themselves, so be it that's fair but they're not. A health plan is. ...I think the parents a) should be smacked silly for being so selfish and b) have their medical coverage dropped. If they are so stupid and selfish to knowingly bring a child into the world who will suffer every day of his or her life, there ought to be a law.....

They were told that the kid would probably have this affliction (I seem to recall that the odds were like 80% that the kid would get it) but they went ahead anyways and did so knowingly (not like she accidentally got pregnant).

My point is that we should allow natural selection to occur. There supposedly is a cancer gene that if you have it, you'll most likely develope some form of cancer in your life. If you don't have it you most likely won't.
