If there was a "Make me leader of the planet" button, would you actually press it?
Would you press it just so you could make frogs rain upon the land, or would the pressure of looking after each and every person on Earth get to you and make you drop out?

Well, everybody wants to rule the world *cues Tears for Fears*.

It depends. If I was omnipotent and omniscient, I could probably handle it. If I was simply myself with godlike powers and responsibilities (a la Sim City, on a six-billion-person scale), I might lose it

Press button, rain frogs, and, if anyone complains, genocide.

Wait, no. Forget the complaining.

Are you talking within the bounds of reality? I mean, apart from the existence of said button, would everything else have to be reasonable?

If so, then I probably wouldn't. There's no fun in being a tyrant, and if I was benevolent I'd probably have way too much to do. Delegating isn't an option, seeing that I feel guilty passing things off for others to do.

If I could be completely unrealistic, yes. World peace and hippy ideals would spread over night. Omnipotence is best-used as a tool for good, after all.

Nope, do you even know the amount of work involved with that? Im far to lazy to rule the planet. If there was a "give me quarter of all the worlds wealth once a year" button I would totally push it though.

I'm unbearably disorganised and I have little self-motivation. So, no.

I rather like the world like it is: Not on fire everywhere.

No. Authority scares me. I'll take a smaller administration job, thanks.
i have room for a Reliable henchmen to be my right hand man...
What's the pay? and I want it up front, not any of this "You'll get a cut once we pull off the hugely impossible heist" business.
Damn...(killing Captain Planet will have to wait for Later)Infinite amounts once i rule the world since i could just create more without any repercussions what so ever.

Hell yes. I'd need a huge supporting staff though, and a few figureheads to take the blame when things go haywire.

Not a chance, I'd do a horrible job.
so? its not like anyone can complain... if they do there is always initating population control, which desperately needs to happen anyway.

I'm dubious.
