If I ran the world i would make sure all extremist's (Ann Coulter, Michael Moore, Sean Hanity) would be tortured in a different countrys capital every other week. I would also remove opinions from the media, and only have strait facts. Then I would shut down foxnews, for all they have is opinions from O`Rielly and Hannity.

I would also beat the f*ck outta anyone whom is racist against another country (or the people of another country) for they're A) Goverment (the people don't have much control over goverment actions, so why blaim them?) or B) Way they look and or speak.

I have alot more ideas, but i dun feel like typing them out. Can't wait to see a few certain peoples though.

If I'd rule the world I'd press the magic self destruct button. The way things are looking now, that'd be the only thing to sort out all the mess.

Hey, the best way to accomplish world peace is to get rid of that which has the potential to dissrupt it. Setting off 200,000 nuclear bombs strategically accross the world would probably do the job.

Current Projects: Verious things right now. Lots of utils for game making. Hopefully something solid soon.

if i ruled i'd mainly focus on solving ecological disaster and bringing economical justice to the 3rd world. i see these as just short term things, after that i'd focus on the actual people, ie allow more skateparks to be built so that kids can loose weight through skating, i'd spend money on researching medical science and robots to solver the shortage of doctors.

i cant think of any country that deserves going to was against, so i'd cut military spending and put that towards more things that are more useful for the people.

I would remove all existing governments in the world, install a new government everywhere that was more of a military control rather than a government that has zero tolerance for any form of crime, and I would also implement a worldwide government system similar to that of the one in Starship Troopers, where you have to earn your right to have a say in the way the world works, which means global contribution, or military service fighting an evil alien race of insects

I would set up one form of government consisting somewhat of a dictatorship, but not really because there is not one controlled power, but tons of departments that controll all aspects that are needed to successfully run a governenmet. I'd set about doing security, health departments, and safety departments. I'd also set up one world currency.

I would fix the economical jump between the rich and the poor by setting up a department that controls all forms of labor that people would have do to get money. This would solve people depending on money, and therefore the entire system would benefit- including the people (no going into debt, bla bla bla). The "rich" would become rich by how strategic they are in the department of labor, what tasks they perform (if you were into computers, you'd go in that department etc), so no one would simply be rich and lay around, the system doesn't benefit that way.
I would also give more benefits to people that have more work ethnics rather then to people in the entertainment business (sports, movies, TV).

I would also have a more controlled media so there would be no biased oppinions, which would fix hating towards some groups of people.

You never know what's in your closet until you take a look.

I would also move everyone to Mars, but instead of blowing up the Earth, I'd make it a national (or global or whatever) park and make money on tourism while protecting the animals' habitats.

I'd also put a theme park on the moon.

Well, if I ran the world, I'd do 3 major things:

1) Remove currency altogether or place a world-wide currency system.
2) Make teams of researchers look for new ways of energy
3) Make other teams of researchers look for new ways to expand, both on earth, and feasable ways to do it in space.

I'd probably also leave a few people in control of sections of the world (Like the US would be split into ~4 parts and I'd have 4 people per part control over it, but I'd still be the top nacho).

If I ran the world, I'd be a dictator. Some other things I would do:

I would make a team of scientests that will modify genes to make it so that noone will hate me. Then they will insert the genes into all of the population. They can use anything I allow them to use.

I would wait untill I have 7 billion people living on Earth, then I would keep the death rate the same as the birth rate.

I would have a team of 150,000 scientests research random things I think are cool, like flying, floating, and shooting fireballs. And controling people with my mind. They will work soley for me and I might relese some things they make.

A team of 1500 scientests will research how to transport my knowledge into someone else's brain and how to create an atomic object with digital information and scan an object and write it's atomic structure to a file. How to reach absolute zero will also be researched. After these scients accomplish this, they will merge with the other team.

A standard currency of money will be issused.

Yet another team of 20000 scientests will use the above team's data to create a digital catolog of everthing on Earth and everything surrounding Earth. They will merge with the above scientests untill they are done.

Earth will be renamed Ilya. The other planets will be renamed also.

People will be buried on other planets.

Everyone will have a rank from 1 to how many people there are on Earth, with me being 1.

I'll elect various people to control sections of the world. There will be 256 sections. These people's ranks will be 2-257, depending on how close they are to where I live.

A new OS will be built that is better than everything else. 100000 people are on this team. This team will make games and recieve help from the scientests when they're done.

I will make the laws, noone else. You can still segest laws.

A team of 5 million people will enforce the laws.

A team of 5 million people will judge the people who break the laws.

There will be no stupid laws. Your rights depend on your rank.

Stupid laws include:
Laws preventing you from killing anything non-human(after the scients are done).
Any law I deem stupid.

There will be no activists groups.

A team of 500,000 people will make a new language.

Some other stuff...

just like I am now, pretty soon it will so bad that they will plead for me to take total control of the world, then all men will be surgicaly altered to be less than 5' 10" , filled with silicon to make them bloaters and with very small genitalia, totaly bald with no teeth and dentures with every other tooth missing or in black plastic, and they will all have to wear corderoys, shapeless cardigans and mules in beige leather, then I (finaly) get all the chicks and the world will be at peace since all the men will be at home and on the internet chatting to girls and claiming they are 6ft sexgods with bodies like Adonis ...

Well, we could start by giving everyone mandatory gun training and choice of a large calibre handgun or semi-automatic rifle when/if they can finish the class. Sure, the initial wave of violence might be a little over the top. But after all the crazies are dead, you'll find that an armed society is a polite society.

When punks are outnumbered twenty or thirty to one they either learn to be civil or die.

Dude, with what we see in the news or on TV etc, most of us think you are practically there already.

Personally I would make everybody build a massive temple of worship to me. As in one for every neighbourhood around the world. This would keep everyone quiet for quite a while, leave them all pennyless so money won't corrupt, plus would leave one single religion - me - so everyone got on with each other. Plus I would keep a couple of thousand people to grant my every wish. Obviously they would be handpicked from such magazines as Maxim and FHM, and those blokes who work on Italian supercars.

Cheers

I'd become emperor of earth and ban all weapon technology that is better than swords and crossbows/bows etc, then i would make people construct castles in my honor. Then i would live out a role players fantasy, travelling the land and slaying people i make dress up as orcs and such, of course we will use poor people and the terminally ill for these creatures, wouldn't touch the upper class. Though i would keep technology that sorted out our medicine and hospitals and so forth. Then at the end of the day i would retire to my harem of many women and laugh heartily like a pirate, then i would show them whats under my eye patch. Who else thinks i should run the world, pretty cool huh
