Answer 1

Let God be in control

Answer 2

Wow, I though that was God? Well, anyway, if it was me, and if I had all of this great power, I would try to stop all the wars that were going on. If leaders like Kim Jung Ill continue doing things against my wishes (killing innocent people, bombings) I would publicly broadcast his death from around the world. I would make him hand from his ankles, have him naked, cut his flesh and then pour acid over his freshly cut wounds. Then I would cut his dick off and place it in his mouth and then, just leave him there until the vultures came and devour him. I would tell everyone who had watch "When I tell you I want the bombings and unnecessary killings to stop, I F@CKING MEANT IT!" and then I would have Israel and Lebanon and such to stop fighting or all of those countries would be no more. Then, I would find the time to destroy all the communist dictators that are throughout this world and try to make all the wealthy country donate some money to the poorest nations, get leaders that wants to make good and then (especially the U.S.) have those countries start to take a look at their own and fix the problems within.
I know this answer is long, but you asked.

Answer 3

Remove all so-called "morality" and drug laws
Tax churches and ban the practice of tithing
Execute Jerry Falwell, Pat Robertson, Robert Tilton et al. on pay-per-view.
Return the land to the Arabs that was promised to them after WWI
Restore Roosevelt-style programs to rebuild the infrastructure of America.
Develop a Marshall Plan style objective to build up undeveloped countries.
Disallow campaign contributions. Everyone would get the same amount of money and if you can't do it with that, too bad.
Pay public school teachers $100,000 a year.
Stop all corporate welfare and demand that profits be redirected to employees.

That's a good start.

Answer 4

This is an impossible position to take. It is already taken.

However in a fantasy, if I were God, I would change the hearts and minds of all people on earth to want and need to get along with each other. Everyone would know what it's like to be that other person and except the way they are and know it is good.

I would change the governments in all countries to be a true democratic government and first and foremost do no harm to it's people.

Answer 5

Imagine there's no countries
It isn't hard to do
Nothing to kill or die for
And no religion too
Imagine all the people
Living life in peace...

You may say I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I hope someday you'll join us
And the world will be as one

Imagine no possessions
I wonder if you can
No need for greed or hunger
A brotherhood of man
Imagine all the people
Sharing all the world...

You may say I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I hope someday you'll join us
And the world will live as one

Answer 6

Make education, child care, and health care free. Institute mandatory controls over pollution and global warming. Enforce recycling, by charging people who throw away recyclables steep fines. Keep the UN in charge of international issues. Honestly one person with absolute political power is evil.

Answer 7

Run the planet like a Business!
Organize trade between all countries.
ie:country has fruit but no rice,trade fruit for rice,etc,etc.
War is "big" waste of money,no more war.
ie:desert country has oil but no where to grow food,trade oil for food

This is just supply and demand,once every country is well fixed with
all the things they need to have a good life,it means a good life for
"everyone"

You can't live on "just",Bananas,or just rice,or just fruit,or just oil.
A ten year old could figure this out!

Answer 8

I would resign. Being absolute ruler would probably wear me out within a week. That's if the media hasn't killed me first.

Answer 9

I would invade other countries to continue to build my power base, build up wealth in oil and send all my POWs to an off shore base in Cuba, where I could persecute them without fear of retribution.

Answer 10

I would take all the mean=spirited people of the world, drop them in the Pacific Ocean, and hope we never see them again.

Answer 11

get rid of all the bombs and other tools for creating a war
make snow fall during winter in california, and make our water more drinkable-(the ocean)..and stop the earthquakes/tornados/floods from ever happening again
