You get a wish from Shenron

[PurestEvil]

It's almost like our economic system is designed to keep us constantly resource deficient, thus leaving us in a constant state of unease...

can't object. materialism runs quite high in our society.

Not really materialism when you just don't want to be om the knife's edge of death your whole life.

That dilemma is shared among lower-class workers. I am certain that materialism is a large component in working "middle-class" culture who are not in much danger of poverty. Obviously, people will begin to value money and possessions if their socioeconomic system prioritizes money above all.
But I don't think we should prolong this discussion here, it's drifting out of topic.

I wish for infinity plants that can heal/regenerate anyone/anything along with giving anyone eternal youth. That means there will always be plant that grows.

You're creating an artificial divide between the middle and lower-class here. If your livelihood can crumble so easily that you'd first think to ask a wish-granting dragon god for the ability to sustain livelihood then you're probably not that well off in the first place.

Nevertheless, I was tackling a systemic issue with my posts, not quite a class-issue. It's our system as a whole that needs to change so as the erase the class divides. Housing, food and healthcare should be provided by the governments that were all formed to administer the needs of our societies in the first place

I'd wish for the world's most comfortable pair of underwear.

To become a divine being.

World peace and fixing climate change are the best wishes you can ask for. I would save any fun stuff like money for later.

Good point. As well as rebuilding the population levels of endangered animals.

I don't have faith that Shenron would be able to resolve these issues with their level of complexity, especially for an eternity.

I forgot the whole "can't wish for something beyond Shenron's abilities" thing. I wonder if he can make a god?

My whole reasoning behind wishing for that was that it would allow me to do many good things at once. After all..."Neighborhood Cluck," an earlier incarnation of TFS, in their abridged treatment of World's Strongest, had Shenron telling Dr. Kochin, "You want me to melt some ice? You know, you could always wish for ultimate power and melt it yourself!"

Most so-called criminals are forced into a life of crime due to systemic corruption leaving them with few choices to insure their survival. I think that this is too broad of a wish to make.

[PurestEvil]

not yet born criminal

How is that determined? Can Shenron see into the future?

Piggy backing off Julie the word criminal is far too broad. There’s a huge difference between a drug dealer and a chomo. Most people have probably committed some type of crime at some point in their lives even if they didn’t get caught. Are we talking moral crimes (which is subjective as hell) or lawful crimes?

I agree.

[jjgp1112]

I like how a relative majority of the replies are related to money

C.R.E.A.M, my boy. Having money is quite awesome. And look, I'm not gonna lie - I'm a hoarder. I wouldn't even need like 9 of that 10 million but who cares!

Sorry about that, yeah, wish formed that way could be monkey paw bad, punishing those who steal, because they are hungry. By criminals i mean:
- Rapists
- Tyrants (Like Kim and Putin)
- Fanatics and terrorists

The ability to compel truth from any individual or group of individuals (in any number) in any situation or way I see fit. Be it making them speak the truth on TV when it's inconvenient for them, or to reveal a secret to someone they were hiding it from but to make it happen in private. Since this is my wish, and I'd have a lot of work to do, obviously, my proximity to the target or targets wouldn't matter. I'd simply have to will it.

[JulieYBM]

I know this is just fiction and all but damn, there's a LOT of people wanting to violate peoples' personal freedoms in this thread.

Also keep in mind, if you wish for any kind of supernatural powers, then, since this takes place in the real world, you're going to be the only person with those powers. So that could easily lead to you being corrupted by that power if no one can stop you.

That thought occurred to me too, but my thought was that if we're talking about ultimate power, then that also entails the ability to give up said power, which I would.
