Default OT: If you lead the world, what would you do?

As the title implies, the question is, What would you do if you, and solely you, controlled the direction the world took. What would your policies be, what would you focus a united humanity on?

Personally, once the world was lead by me, I'd focus everything beyond the essentials (basic health care, etc.) on spaceflight. I would put all the worlds resources towards developing practical and cheap sources of propulsion, searching for better methods of spaceflight and moving out into the galaxy. I bet that if the entire world was focussed on that goal and solely on that goal rather than on petty economics and ethnic feuds, we'd be in other solar systems within a century. Throughout our solar system within a couple decades. Expand, or die.

That's what I'd do, how about you?

Default Re: OT: If you lead the world, what would you do?

I would prove that absolute power currupts absolutely.

1. I would disarm the entire civilan population of the world.
2. I would form a secret police force answerable only to myself.
3. I would obolish all civil rights and impose military rule throughout the world.
4. I would have all of those that I hate gathered up and burned alive in a pit filled with gasoline. I would charge admittion and make it a pay per view event. I would make it a law that all must watch or suffor the same fate.
5. I would have all those that have ever opposed me, rumored to oppose me, suspected of opposing me, or that I fear might oppose me arrested and executed.
6. I would conduct "purges" of the military to ensure that only those who are loyal to me are around me.
7. I would form labor camps and fill them with ex-bankers, lawyers, politicians, and insurance administratiors.
8. I would crush any rebellion by any means at my disposol up to and including the use of nukes.
9. I would begin the brain washing of young minds in order to develop an entire generation of loyal followers.
10. I would change my name to Atrocities.
11. I would proclaim myself a GOD and make it a law that all must worship me, Lord Atrocities.
12. I would have any who speak ill, or are suspected of speaking ill of me hung from poles in every city. Hanging around their necks would be signs that read "Loyalty Is Life. Disloyalty is death!"
13. I would have all of you sent to prison as you are my friends, but as history has shown, friends are the first to turn on you when you obtain power.
14. I would enslave entire populations to work as laborers in the farms, factories, and business that of the world. Those who do not work, would become food for those who do work.
15. I would have the infirm, the weak, the old, and the sickly ground up into the meat that will then be served to the masses as fast food.

I'd probably be too busy 'entertaining' various actresses, models, pop stars etc to actually get anything useful done...

Promptly disolve the world government and set up a true, vote-based democracy, most likely.

Sounds like a plan...good thing I'm on well water though!

I think I'll go hide in the vast wildernesses now.

Well, after assassinating the evil dictator Atrocities and removing his despotic regime, I'd energetically pursue the policies he had already set in motion.

Get me a few billion dollars, and recreate the goverments before me, except with the fact than I'm absolute ruler, and what I say goes. Other than that, pretty much nothing.

Hmm, Atrocities forgot the part where he devirgintizes all of the World's Virgin Woman And his publishing of his "exploits". Sorta like Mao.

How would I rule, Well I would start by making myself the "Grand Nagus". Then outlawing all Female Cloth's. Except during winter. Followed by the "barefoot and pregnant" law.
