If you could have One wish..
July 9, 2017 at 10:44 pm
What would it be?
Right now I'm thinking that I wish guns of all kinds, from all parts of the earth over all periods of time, never existed and would never exist in future.
I like hunting. I'd kill a deer for a years worth of meat in the freezer. But at some point you have to look at the benefits and the price of human blood and ask, is it worth it?
A settler in the 1800s might not have gotten eaten by a bear at one point, but too there wouldn't have been rivers of blood spilt in the Revolutionary war.
Do you think my wish is a good one or would it turn out badly?
If I were to create self aware beings knowing fully what they would do in their lifetimes, I sure wouldn't create a HELL for the majority of them to live in infinitely! That's not Love, that's sadistic. Therefore a truly loving god does not exist!
Quote:The sin is against an infinite being (God) unforgiven infinitely, therefore the punishment is infinite.
Dead wrong. The actions of a finite being measured against an infinite one are infinitesimal and therefore merit infinitesimal punishment.
Quote:Some people deserve hell.
I say again: No exceptions. Punishment should be equal to the crime, not in excess of it. As soon as the punishment is greater than the crime, the punisher is in the wrong.

Lol no. One wish for you! No wishing for things that grant more wishes!

Well, pooo!
Okay, I'd wish for unlimited funding for medical and scientific research, including new technologies to explore space.

I don't think the world would be better off, no. I mean who knows how many inventions we have thanks to the idea of guns. Not to mention that we'd probably fuck up with some other invention worse than guns anyway.
My wish--I wish that my whole family including myself were Kryptonian--complete with powers with no Kryptonite to be found anywhere. Terrorism solved. And as a bonus we get fucking awesome powers. And if we hear about a school shooting, we can be in and out in a second.

That's actually been one of mine: Fewer Mondays and more Fridays in a week.

If I had only one wish, I'd ask for whatever the fuck it is with the human brain that turns off the reasoning skills and makes it act like an unrepentant willful idiot gets fixed. Everything else would just follow.
If you get to thinking you’re a person of some influence, try ordering somebody else’s dog around.
