    Superman. As it entails most things but he can fly as well.

    I'd like to walk up the streets of the Middle East with I Hate Allah on my shirt, and a big target picture on the back (just for laughs).

    Pretty sure I'd rule the world, good or bad I'm not too sure, it would just be my way, or get out of the way. If war started (or any wars that are on) I'd decide who's right and make them win. There would be no patriotism, if I felt a country was right they'd win.

    Oh I'd destroy all churches too, because I like doing good things as well.

        Me too, they should make them for everyone.
        But the bulls-eye target picture on the back probably should be left for the fearless :D (Or superman!)

        Seriously who wouldn't want to walk down 'Middle Eastern' streets (past goats and dogs running around mad) Saying, how do you do, I hate Allah :) I dream of this. Hurry up genie damn you.

      It would be great, but I think you'd have to keep it a secret and heal people without their knowing. Can you imagine how impossible it would be to have a normal life if people knew you could magically heal them?

      I don't know why you want gays to kill themselves? (by the way I'm not gay - yuk :D )

      I mean gay may refer to 2 females as well, and just about every guy (except gay guys!) likes that.
      As for gay guys, let them live or marry or whatever, it won't make any (bad) difference to my life if all (other) men became gay. Except then I'd have ALL the women :p ... That's it, I want to promote gay to all men, leave the women for me :D

      Ah, but you couldn't become fully omniscient with mind control. If you were omniscient, you would know everything everyone is thinking. And omniscience would give you the power to achieve anything else.

      • izakthegoomba

        Well I don't want to be omniscient any more than I want to be immortal. Also, knowing what people are thinking doesn't let you control them.

          Oh, mind CONTROL. I read it as mind-reading for some reason... Hmm... I may be stretching it, but true omniscience would give you the know-how to convince anybody to do whatever you want. Eh?

            But I don't think you can make people do everything just with convincing. It would take a lot more in some cases. Mind control doesn't have that problem, and you don't have to put up with knowing everything.

    I would like to be able to read peoples minds. The financial potential is limitless there, hell you could become a millionaire playing poker for 2 or three weeks a year! And that would make you literally the best in the world at picking up women, it would be stupidly fun! Also, think about how much trouble you could talk yourself out of!

      It might be disturbing being able to read peoples minds. Imagine catching the stray thoughts of a family member, finding out peoples deep dark secrets. There's a chance you might get so disheartened by people you'd end up shunning society and living as a recluse.

    I would say teleportation but then I'm afraid that I'll become very lazy and in turn very fat. I think I'll go with super speed.

          I was agreeing with you?

          Biggest disadvantages being the monthly periods, employment discrimination, and limited shelf-life. Oh, and if I changed to being a woman I would really miss not being able to pee standing up.

          But with the wonders of technology a sex change is technically feasible and doesn't require wishing.

      • The more time someone has, the more intelligent they become. I am in no way dumb, but if anyone with an average working mind was giving an unlimited time to progress their mind, they would become far more intelligent.

          You would become less ignorant about a lot of things. But there are somethings that I don't think you would be able to solve.

    Mind control, definitely mind control.

    Teleportation was a close second.

    The ability to fall asleep when I wanted would be a lifesaver. Failing that, omnipresence or instantaneous travel (especially in space).

      Also, skinless grapes. Peeling those little buggers to make grape juice is more effort than it is worth.

          Heh, that was the first thing I tried when I bought a food processor. The skins break down into a kind of pulp that tastes like vegetation.

          I could do with a fruit press. That would work. Then I could chuck the skins away. Or I could do what the French do; put them all in a bucket, take my socks off and jump around the hell all over them. :D
