If I became the leader of the entire world and decided to destroy over half the population of the planet, how would you convince me to let you live?

How about only thoughtful philosphical answers. Interesting how many people felt threatened enough to respond without actually answering the only question asked.

Well, what is worth? Worth only exists where there is a need. So, what would you need in your new role? If you have the ability to kill over half the people, probably not much. But, the one thing you might need is loyalty. Based on a lot of these answers, there are going to be a lot of people rebelling and trying to get you, so the one thing you might need is loyal people you can trust. But how do I convince you of my loyalty? The only thing I can think of is by offering my life - kind of like a samurai seppuku thing. That would show my loyalty. The problem then of course is if you wanted me to prove my loyalty by killing myself it kind of defeats the purpose of me trying to convice you not to kill me!
That's gotta be a philosophical answer, cause in the end, we're right back where we started!

I've got great abs.
Edit: Hmmm.... thoughtful philosophical answers...

How about, I've got REALY great abs?
Any leader of the entire world who thinks that she can destroy half the population of the world, does not deserve a rational answer.

well I don't think I would be able to convince you of anything, so I would plot to kill you and help start a rebellion. Wouldn't be hard to start since you just on a whim decided to destroy half the world.

I wouldn't. I'd be too busy figuring out how to save my daughters.

I wouldn't have to prove my worth to you. This world is not my home. My home is in heaven with my Savior Jesus Christ.
