That's such an evil wish but damn that sort of power would make you a god!

My wish, hmmm I really can't think of one outside of greed. I'd like money but it's not everything. Ok I'd wish for enough money to support myself and my family for as long as I can live. I don't need all the money in the world, just enough to live on. Then I'd wait a year and wish for immunity to death outside of natural causes. I don't want to live forever but I don't want to die from something unnatural like a bullet or car accident. :mrgreen:
...Wait what are you doing? Are you still reading this? I finished what I had to say, why don't you move on to the next post?

I need a shitload of cash, this economy sucks and to be honest I have enough where I can just move to a better economy..

I'd probably wish for immortality since well.. I like most will probably be spending my glory years working my ass off.. or I'd just wish myself to heaven(if one does exist that is..)
Than again.. I could wish to be the ruler of the world with a shitload of special powers and rename Earth the Dragon World.. Jk..Jk..well.. not about the ruling part^^

I would wish to be the world's most awesome physicist??
And/or maybe for great endurance. Then I could give famous lectures, running from city to city in-between. Yup, that sounds good. I would probably have to wish for something similar for my boyfriend though, or else he'd be so intellectually and physically inferior to me that I'd have no reason to stay with him. :lol: (Kidding...well...not really...sort of...)

Alternatively and more flamboyantly, it would be super awesome to have a giant pet tortoise or lizard that could carry me around. A fast one. That I could use as a major mode of transportation. With safety features.

The serious wish, I've actually settled on after a lot of thought is pretty simple- to be able to spend my life in at least moderate happiness. No heavy specifications as to this this this much happen, not ALL PERFECT ALL THE TIME like somebody on medication that makes them think they're always happy, just relativly, naturally so. I like the sound of it.

If we're talking blown-out-silly wishes?

I'd wish for the ability to remember or forget anything that I've read or seen- block out things like ManFaye, and bring back things like really cool late-night conversations I had with friends until I fell asleep on the 'escape' button and deleted it all. Then there'd be the ability to make my own action figures. Awesome ones- I plot them out in my brain and poof- they appear in the mail all nice and refined and awesome.

It even works for things that haven't happened yet to a certain extent, giving the person some sort of precognition. As such, I suppose it's the ability to know anything and everything.
That is an amazing power, I want that! o.0 With that I have no need to revise for exams, I can pretty much get anything I want. That's so cool. Haha.
"What is the meaning of life?"
"How can I solve the energy crisis?"
"How the fuck can I sort out the recession?"
"How can I convince the entire world to live peacefully?"
That is fucking awesome, thanks :D.

But really, I would probably wish for the perfect life that suits me best. So not necessarily filthy rich with more hoes than I can count, but the things that I would like. Being able to afford what I want, I don't need billions of cars and houses all over the world - but I would probably just like to have the one good mansion and that nice lamborghini outside. Not to mention the perfect woman for me.
I don't want to wish for something that's impossible, you know like flying (for what we know so far) and the ability to become invisible and see great distances. I'd rather wish for something that is possible and not necessarily work for it but keep it as a dream. In theory, yes I can achieve or find all that I've stated. I think I've found the perfect woman now, I damn well bet I have the potential for the others too.

However, another thing I would wish for is ultimate happiness. By saying this, I mean that I would never have the desire to achieve something else just so I can be happier with my life. I really think ultimate happiness would be amazing, although if I am as happy as I can be with no desires whatsoever, does this mean I have no other purpose? I am not sure how I would word this kind of wish, but I would want it something along the lines of never being able experience sadness and that I can only get happier/I can't get any happier than I am right now.
Actions have reactions so don't be quick to judge, you may not know the hardships that people don't speak of.

I have a strong feeling a power like that could drive someone crazy.
*Twitch* *hides anecdotes* *twitch*

Actually, now that I think of it, I think it was fifth grade? Wait, no, that doesn't make sense... but I want to think I was 10 at the time? *head explodes*.
Anyway, back at least a decade ago, I wound up imagining a situation ultimately leading to me getting to make a wish to Shenlong (On the balcony of a Disney Hotel around midnight on Christmas Eve, no less), and I wished for the ability to create anything. Somewhy I don't remember what all I wound up doing with it... just making various stuff I wanted to make, Hee... and threw in the concept of "If there's something I want to do that doesn't involve creating something, I'll just create a 'beam' that will do it!".

We should totally band together to collect the dragonballs, then hold a Video game tournament to decide who gets to use them.
Wait, no. A tournament that I might actually win. Hmm... *ponderponder*

Though, another situation I've thought about is using the first wish for what I want, then using the second to wish for a crap-ton of Dinocaps / PoiPoiCapsules, and have people sign up to provide storage (and have Shenlong put the capsules at said places... I'd naturally make a thread here to solicid storage. :twisted: ). And then ... like... pay people with the profits.

Love it. I've thought about that same thing and I've wished for it in life as well. It's the greatest and most realistic thing for a human being to aspire to. And I like it how you've put it in general, because happiness lies in various things for different people.

I have three more unrealistic and simple wishes as well (which DB fanboy doesn't?):

1. Invisibility.
2. Time control.
3. Copy-paste. :D

Believe me, after working a couple of months in a nursing home, unnatural is the way to go.
The elderly are confused, walk in diapers, have to go by a certain eat and sleep schedule, and cannot drink or smoke anymore.
With medicine advancing this much, most of us will end up as senile and old with diapers, not remembering the faces of our children, drinking milk and asking for some more wine, and asking when the guys are coming to pick you up so that you can have some drinks at the bar, or simply go into depression when you remember your late wife.
So, for me, a freak car accident when I retire, please.

- Could have the "Soviet Russia" jokes

- Have my parents to stop nagging

- Rather have my sense abilities to sense my friends.

Not to mention that as you grow older, time seems pass faster and faster.

I would wish for unlimited knowledge. For instance I would want to have all the answers to the universes unanswered questions like, how the universe was created, is there a god or not, how life was created, is there life outside of earth, big foot, etc etc ?

On a less serious wish though I would want to be a ssj xD

1) Mind control powers. Why wish for money if you can mind control millionaires to give it to you? Plus I can fight crime by making the criminals shoot each other!

2) Teleportation powers. I would make it fair and it would have to be a place that I've already visited so I can set the coordinates in my mind. Like if I wanted to visit Japan, I would have to spend the 1k to fly out there first so I can set the coordinates in my head and then I can teleport there whenever. Setting this limitation would prevent me teleporting to Mars and killing myself. :P

Something like this, but I want to power to morph any food I want while still retaining it's nutritional value. Like I can morph a salad into a pizza and gain the nutritional value of the salad.
