h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

If I ran the world, "Elizabeth" would have won over "Shakespeare in Love" at the Oscars.

If I ran the world, spam would not exist. (This goes for either type of spam, the lunch meat or the email type) Only exception: spam so ludicrous that it actually entertains.

If I ran the world, this thread would be in the Games Room.

If I ran the world, I would have quiet neighbors.

Yeah, JEllen!

We're starting to get some colors on our $ - the new $20's look like they have yellow chickenpox all over them!

Fluffy - yes, I'm in retail - I work in a Starbucks

If I ran the world, legal judgements would be made according to the spirit of the law, rather than by who has the nastier lawyer. That kind of thing makes me absolutely

If I ran the world,
It would be just like H2G2 just for a start.

Why? well people just get on here and go out of their way not to offend. They listen to each other and do not make judgements.

Yes that will do for just for a start…

If I Ran the World i would instigate a yearly 24 hour nonstop media (television and internet) show that started in Greenwich and followed the New Year around the world...

kinda like they did at the turn of the millenium... only more seamless.

with one 5-minute commercial break every hour for local stations to get some revenue...

it would degree-by-degree (360 locations all told) follow the new year around the globe... huge celebrations... and in the more rural areas, more quiet ones... chances are that in some longitudes all we would see would be would be night shots of nature and hear the sounds of crickets chirping maybe we could get feeds from some boats in the more watery areas. and a serenely quiet icy view of antarctica would be a nice contrast to a particularily raucous celebration immediately preceeding it.

If I ran the world, Back-to-School sales (and discussion) wouldn't be allowed to start until the long vacation was more than half over. And no Christmas selling until after November!!!

BlueCrab

likewise, if i ran the world, there would be no advertising or selling of hallowe'en stuff until october.

Mu Beta post 4 >> That is the most ridiculous thing that I've ever heard. Would you care to explain the rationale behind that shallow-minded thinking? B <<


ah well, although i did answer this, finally, here F7334496?thread=4221430 post 22, i will put that answer here, too, for closure:

fluffykerfuffle "the single mother freebies... .. . . . . .. ...that's the beauty of it.... once ypu have a child... one child... everything is free... everything. so there's no incentive or temptation to have more just for the freebies. ...and since everything is free, mothers dont have to stay in abusive situations for physical support. ...and since they don't have to work they can be full time homemakers and nurturers... . . . . ...almost zero population growth too... one woman... one child... .. . . .. ...genius, sheer genius yesssssss!!"

If I ran the world I'd be able to hit people with a rolled up newspaper while telling them "No!" when they annoy me. Further noone else in the world would be capable of using any kind of weapon.

you found this!!


...if i ran the world rolled up newspapers would be the ONLY weapons!!

if i ran the world olympic athletes could only compete in their country of birth and/or raising (first 12 years) ... (first 15 years?)
and there would be a world olympic FUND to finance any training of any athlete
who qualifies, at the age of 12 or thereafter, for it, based only on athletic merit.

why?

where people are nurtured, raised, affects their personality their essence their core of being....

and The Games are supposed to be games measuring the strengths of different nations through games rather than through war...

so for The Games to be Still Relevant... the athletes should represent the country that gives them their initial strength essence and core...

...just my opinion but... hey... if i ran the world... i would do that!

ah
