If you could wish for anything at all and have that wish come true(other than wishing for more wishes) what would your wish be?

I would wish that Kelryne was always happy.

****.

please, no one flame anyone on what they wish for, i dont want this locked

I wish that i will recieve word from the college i applied to, and that it will say i've been accepted.....

I'm just bitter and lonely. Selfless acts remind me I'm dead inside.

hmm kinda weird i never really thought into this lol id wish for world peace but then that means everyone would have to vanish id say immortality but that means watching those around me die lol id prolly wish to go to a good medical school lol and be succesful in life i guess but thats something im gonna bust my a$$ to do

hmmm what to say lol i'd have to say i'd wish for a better car among others things that ya already know id say Shana

i wish that my next three wishes will come true.

already coverd that lingol and dont try to use the loophole that wishing that your next 3 wishes will come true isnt the same as wishing for more wishes, because its kinda implied

i like this wish, i wish i can add to this wish (Mr. Genie)

If i had just one wish there would be no hunger in the world.

Hunger is the worst thing that could ever happen to a person

i would wish that i had enough money that i didnt have to have wishes, that i could end hunger and buy as many ponies as i wanted

I wish I could met Green Day

I wish celeborn would put back in the code for Boons

I wish DL was back up.

me too
its getting boring..

time to bump this thread back up, im bored.

if have 2 diffrent types of wishes,

if i wanted to be selfish and wish on something for myself i would with my job paid alot more. (yes i like my job, it keeps me healthy)

and if i wanted to be selfless and wish for something that is for everyone else i would wish for all the fighting to stop, cant we just all get along?

I am under the impression that we are limited to only ONE wish, that is unlimited in scope or power, but no others after that, yes?

In that case I'd have to think long and hard about how to properly word it in order to get exactly what I want, but it would be something along the lines of "I wish that a world that is totally perfect for me would be created and that I would be transported thereto to live out the rest of my days."

If that seems like it would count as two wishes rather than just one, and therefore I would not be allowed such a wish, then I guess I would wish for exceptional good luck in everything I do (except D&D dice rolls... always getting good rolls would make the game less fun). This would be broad in affect, applying to things like avoiding car crashes, being able to regularly eat puffer fish without worrying about the probability that it was prepared incorrectly, gambling in Vegas, etc. Basically, anything for which there is a given probability of a negative outcome, the probability for me would be smaller than what would be statistically normal... And anything that has a given probability of a positive outcome will be MORE likely to come about than the statistical normal. And as to anything and everything that is neither good nor bad, I guess I would say stick with the Law of Averages unless it can/will have an indirect affect on the probability of something that WOULD be good or bad.

Now if I HAD to wish for something that wasn't selfish, I don't honestly think I could come up with anything, so I guess I would wish that someone else be granted a selfless wish instead of me, or something like that (what can I say, I'm one of those people who philosophically believes that there is no such thing as altruism).

And please take this as a constructive criticism, rather than a bash or a flame, but I feel like those of you who have posted so far seem to be awfully short-sighted. I'm not saying that I think you should have to wish for things to benefit other people, after all, I am selfish with my wish (and I'm ok with that). But if you were given the power to make one wish of unlimited scope and power, and you use it to wish for something like one million dollars, or a nose job, or for the girl/boy you like to agree to a date (I'm deliberately trying to avoid pulling examples form the actual wishes you all have posted so far)... these sorts of things just seem so small and insignificant to me. It seems to me like such a waste of a wish. Broaden your thinking... think outside of the realms of normal human experience. I know you all can come up with better things to wish for, selfish or otherwise.

Oh, and I agree with Samius, I think for world peace to come around, 90%-100% of humans would have to be removed from the global picture. The problem here is that even if you get world peace now, it will not last, unless you make the wish in such a way as to ask specifically for "world peace forever, without getting rid of all us humans", in which case, humans would be placed under some magical or divine compulsion to not fight and war and destroy and such. This removes freedom of choice to a much greater degree than I personally would want to ever see.

So, keeping in mind the old Chinese curse ("May your every wish be granted!"--at least, I've been TOLD this is an old Chinese curse, but since I'm not Chinese, I can't guarantee that), be careful what you wish for, and, I dare say, how you wish for it

very nice post, looks like you put alot of thought into what your said
