corrupt wishing well of doom

Granted. It is a type of fish. Red snapper.

I wish I had those fish, and was at Karin's Tower in the DBZ universe to trade for senzu beans. To, like, either heal from any illness or become a superhero.

Granted, but he gives you fake senzu beans because he's really quite evil

I wish DBZ was less cumbersome to watch

Granted. But it becomes as childish and filled with "doody jokes" as Dr. Slump (Toriyama's original manga)

I wish I had access to a library with more anime DVDs. That work properly and are not damaged like the ones at Mid-Continent Public Library often are.

granted you have acces to the library but not the DVD's

I wish to know why do rich people only get richer, and poor people only get poorer

Because the government like it that way and tax poor people more than rich people, making it more difficult for poor people to live.

Why do they have to tax us on EVERYTHING?!?!?!?! :mad:

Because the government generally needs more money, always wants more money, and only usually feel it ethical to force people to give them the money in exchange for said people not going to jail or paying even mor money (technically, but not legally, it is extortion and organized crime.)

Note: Firesnake's question: Example from a universe with a separate monetary system of dollars and pence. (Not equivalent to englich pence or american dollars.) A pair of cheap, cardboard-y boots costs two dollars and lasts about a season (one year's worth of rainy/cold seasons), and leaks uncontrollably once they wear out. A pair of good leather boots (seriously, different monetary system) would cost 10 dollars, and last about ten years. The rich man would pay ten dollars once every decade, and the poor man would pay a total of twenty dollars every decade, and, get this, his feet would still get wet. -The Samuel Vimes "Boots Theory" of Socioeconomic Unfairness, paraphrased from the theory as proposed by Terry Pratchett.

Short form: rich people can afford to spend less.

Do I express the information that I have read to too high of a degree?

No you express it in JET way. That's who you are ^^

I wish we could re-name this thread "ask the above person a question" (wow we were in the wrong thread for ages, Firesnake's fault from what I can see )

Granted, but only under the condition that you learn how to use your administrator's access to do so, and that we continue to use this thread as a corrupt wishing well of doom, despite the name change.

I wish there was a phantom administrator-level member that we could blame for everything that went wrong with the forum, and congratulate/praise for problems that just go away on their own (a fictional admin with an actual listing. Terminal doesn;t count because she at least appears to exist as a sentient being). Like some sort of local forum superstition.

Granted, his name is Chaos (oooohhhh!!!)

I wish I knew where Chaos has gone, another missing member

Granted. He's gone to a whole bunch of different places around his house and school and home town, and possibly on a vacation or school trip.

I wish there was some sort of thing, with the internet, with actual virtual space rather than justy encoded addresses. Like in ShadowRun.
[unnescessary to read, nearly useless information]I just finished researching a whole bunch of stuff about the series and umk tend to just blather on a lot when that sort of thing happens until the information finally settles and it's sitting in the back of my mind in a retrievable but not in-the-way part of my memory and thinking systems and whatnot.[end of nearly useless information]

granted but I kill everyone in it!

I wish I had patience

Granted, but that patience takes you to the end of time, but still with no action to come.

I wish I could come up with some sort of plan....

granted but the police finds them and arrest you for planning to rob a bank

I wish I had super-powers

granted. you have the powers of invisibility, intangibility, an insusceptibility to die of old age, and Daredevil's ability to translate air currents and sound waves into usable vision, completely replacing your normal sight. Unfortunately, you do not have control of your superpowers, so you cannot be seen, and cannot communicate by touch or sound or sonar, because the air currents and othewr people and pretty much anything just passes right through you. So you wander around waiting for nothing, if even for the universe to end. good thing you already wished for patience.

I wish the ability to copy and control any superpower or magic that I can determine a way that it might work according to known science.

granted but you get so much super-powers that they all count eachother out ... so you get nothing

I want to be omniscient

granted. you go mad from the overload of knowledge, or possibly from learning something humankind was to to know, and spend the rest of your life in a sealed building with a padded cell, laughing about frogs. And Arthur Dent. But mostly frogs.

I wish the japanese learning course audiobook I had gotten from the online portion of the library had worked with my MP3 player, instead of being, to my knowledge, unchangeably a WMA file. So that I could use it. And learn to speak japanese. and hopefully not be unable to learn to read it.

granted but the quality of the sound on your mp3player is so bad that it takes you 50 years to learn it

I wish I could piss off the ACLU

Granted. They frame you for stealing something, like, I don;t know, from the Louvre, but not famous. So you get jailed for being an international art thief, but without the normally resulting cool factor.

I wish for ridiculously technologically advanced spy gear. super Splinter Cell sort of stuff.

granted but it doesn't work

I wish I could sleep

Granted. You fall asleep for a hundred years, by which time being asleep is illegal, on pain of execution.

I wish for one of those new... *copy and paste* "iWear AV-920C" television/PC monitor VR glasses.

granted .... they exist? .... you have to give some to me too

I wish I could free you from your mortal coil

Granted. But instead of dying, I become an ascended. and 0wNZ j00R 5T4RGA73Z.

I wish for control of my own personal stargate. With the gate remote and power source required to run it.

granted but you select the wrong cooardinates and land on a planet without oxygen

I wish to have Ostrich eggs

Granted. But they are some endangered breed of ostrich, and you get in serious trouble with international law for unauthorized ownership of endangered species/killing and making a delicious brakfast of endangered species.

I wish... for masamune (Sephiroth's masamune, not a replica or one from a different game)

granted but he is not to pleased with it and destroys you with a super nova

I wish to be the most powerfull being to date
