    Default Choose carefully - one chance only

    It's your lucky day!
    You have been granted one wish ... and only one wish.
    You can save the world, be a do gooder, a martyr or be just plain selfish. It doesn't matter what you choose ... or does it? Once decided, you cannot change your mind. Think carefully, choose wisely, the pressures on. You have one hour to make the wish or the offer will be cancelled, never to be repeated.

    What is your One Wish?

    I guess I would choose to save the world. It would be nice for my daughter to have a planet to live on.


    Then I would write a book about how I selflessly saved the world, and tour everywhere making squillions off my story. Then I would become a selfish martyr and buy a small country and become a ruthless dictator.

    Do I have to send this on to fifteen people in the next hour to make my wish come true?

    Save the world from What?
    You answered very quickly ... either you have been thinking of this for a long time OR have not thought it through.

    Only one wish --- You cannot keep adding bits.

    Call me selfish, but I'd wish for an unlimited number of wishes.

    My second wish would be for the wisdom to deal with that power!

    Then I'd save the world!

    Of course there'd only be Macs and Suzukis and everyone would have to sail PDRacers, so it wouldn't be the same place after I'd finished.....

    Cheers,

    P

    But surely at the age of 9, you wouldn't have had the equipment to use it.

    Not speaking from personal memory of course.

    If you could go back in time knowing what you know now, then you wouldn't make the mistakes that you learned from and therefore wanted to go back to correct, so you would still be here wondering what to wish for. Or maybe you'd be on an island surrounded by beautiful women and all the things you ever wanted, having not made those mistakes. Or maybe you'd be lying dead in a ditch, or ...

    You get the idea
