assuming i cant wish for infinate wishes...
1. the ability to become pure energy at any point in time i see fit, with the ability to contain my own energy and form (ie, i would not just dessipate), as well as the ability to deny extra energy form entering me, as well as maintaining my consiousness while doing so.
2. the ability to accelerate to any speed i wish, instantenously.
3. one of those kicking muslism martyr parties before i go off and have fun as NRGMAN!

So you rub the lantern and the genie comes out...
Whoops, time to get a tissue and wipe the spooge from the keyboard.
Anyway ... some wise-ass is bound to say "I would wish for infinite wishes".
I would have ... Peace on Earth, End to Disease and End to Hunger
No, what I'd actually pick is Immortality, Billions and Billions of Dollars and to be some kind of all powerful wizard. That'd be nice.

Is God willing to prevent evil, but not able? Then he is not omnipotent. Is he able, but not willing? Then he is malevolent. Is he both able and willing? Then whence cometh evil? Is he neither able nor willing?
Then why call him God? - Epicurus

1 To be able to travel forward 24 hours in time and stay there for 1 hour whenever I want to before returning. (lottery ticket anyone?)
2 Total exemption from all taxes for ever.
3 Can't think of anything else, if I want something my first two wishes will mean I can buy it anyway.

What of love? What of happiness? What of the ability to engulf your enemies in a fireball blasted from your fingertips?

1.A self-refilling checking account (with a million dolars in it, which keeps up with inflation) that will never close and will remain in my name in perpetuity.
2. A disease and accident free life for me.
3. A disease and acident free life for the people I love.

Those oughta have you pretty well covered.

S. presidency

No, wait, replace clinical immortality with time travel ability without any temporal reprecussions - I'll just go to the future and get some scientist to make me clinically immortal with my mind control ability. Nihihihi!

What of love?
Already got that too.What of happiness?
I don't eat baked beans any more. Oh, fingertips..., sorry, my mistake.What of the ability to engulf your enemies in a fireball blasted from your fingertips?
Seriously, I would just buy a politician to start a war for me.
Never give an AI an even break.
Time travel would be kewl
Then with all my Lotto winnings I would be able to buy happiness and rent the 'semplence of love, and I would just buy a flame thrower if I ever got any enemies.
I would then waste my wishes on stupid stuff like world peace (nobel prize to me), scientific advances (of which I would hold the patents), or for the reserection of the Cavandish... BANANA!
Greece would be made a province of Turkey once again.

Mods can edit just about anything within a poll... however, the one thing we can't do is change it from multi to single, or from single to multi... I don't know why... but we can't.Originally posted by paiktis22

So you are either stuck with this... or you can start a new thread with multi selected, and then I can delete this one... Best I can offer.

Oh ok. It's fine though people can just write their three wishes. Funnier too.
1) Between 100 and 500 billion dollars
2) Control of all major governments
3) More wishes
Assuming 3 is not an option:
3) A functional time machine that can go both back and forward, and take me back to the present should I want to do so
meet the new boss, same as the old boss
1) The ability to go back upto five years in my life and live it over again any time i want.
2) To be in perfect health and to never age.
3) The ability to teleport wherever I want whenever I want.
Would you really want that? You'd be still going along just fine, while your family, your friends, the entire generation and mindset you lived in, died away...by 150 years you'd be a stranger in your own hometown. I can't think of many people who could take that.2) To be in perfect health and to never age.

Hmm. Well, there isn't specifically an "Olsen Twins" option so I guess I'll have to go for the more generic Chicks option.
- Did I just say that out loud?
Happiness.
What?
1. A good wife.
2. Land, preferably out in the country so I could build a nice house, and not have to worry about city living.
3. Health to travel and enjoy the things above.
If I can't have 1, due to that condition, "I can't make people fall in love,"
than I'll settle for that replenishing bank account so that I can do what I want without having to worry about recompense.

"Learning carries within itself certain dangers because out of necessity one has to learn from one's enemies." - Trotsky.
"I don't consider any of them authoritative" - Kidicious on Scripture.
To understand at least one of st_swithin's posts.
What?
1) Immortality, without aging, and the condition to end it if I feel I want to die.
2) Telepathy. Mind control isn't necessary if you can identify a person's desires and motivations.
3) I was gonna pick 'peace on Earth', but I recognize that this may well have many unforeseen ramifications, so I choose an end to unnecessary suffering, that is, pain that serves no purpose. If a pain can be instructive ("Oops, gotta take my hand off the stove"), it stays; if it isn't ("Oops, my legs got torn off by the thresher and I'm bleeding to death.... gee, this hurts") let them go in peace. This applies to all living things, human, non-human animal, vegetable (if they feel 'pain'), at all stages of development (from fetus to old age).
1. Infinite money, but it wouldnt screw with the economy regardless of how much I spent
2. Someone to be truely in love with
3. Immortality, and the ability to end my life when i see fit.
1) Peace on earth
2) Plenty of food for all humanity
3) Everyone will be my slave
So get your Naomi Klein books and move it or I'll seriously bash your faces in! - Supercitizen to stupid students
Be kind to the nerdiest guy in school. He will be your boss when you've grown up!
Here they are for me, in order from most important/desired, on down:
optimal health
one, true love
death to all Apolytoners who initiated computer-related threads
This is where an awesome Mark Twain quote would be, but Apolyton says it would be too many lines. :(
1) Mindreading (this way I would finally know what everyone is really thinking)
2) perfect health, no aging (obvious)
3) perfect body and looks without training
If its no fun why do it? Dance like noone is watching...
