Kind of brother thread to the other dreams thread. Post what you would love to happen in the future, or what you wanted (if your old!).
Personally, I'd love to come in possession of an island, and make it a new country with my governmental system, and keep out anyone I don't want in. Would be amazing.
In every home I'd have a small LCD touch panel near the front door, and every day anything that was proposed for the island would get voted on by the general public by swiping thier ID card then voting. E.g. A new road is proposed in such and such area of the island. You wake up, go check the LCD before work or something and see a vote, so you swipe your ID card then press yes, no, or other. The vote is instantly sent to the main island computer, and after a week the votes are tallyed and so you can see what the people really want! Obviously its a democracy under a dictator (being me), but even then I think its the best it could get.

I'd like to own a Skateboard shop on the side of town, me the only employee.
One of those shops where everyone who comes in, you know them because they frequent there.
And a sandwich. I'd like a sandwich.

I would love to own a small airfield where I would make custom aircraft with a bud of mine (who share the same dream).

I'd wish for a (not too distant) future where the paradigm of sexual
attraction for beautifuk women was a middle-aged bloke with a receding
ginger hairline and glasses.
Failing that, one whereby enormously fat birds with acre upon wobbling
acre of cellulite-dimpled arse would be banned from wearing lycra
leggings - on pain of death.

If you went back in time and corrected certain aspects, then you'r whole life would be completely different... I feel its only worth doing within a 3 day threshold, otherwise your change could be extrememly significant and you would notice it...

Hmmmmm, I don't think so. If you changed something, it would be just like changing real life. I don't think you could go forward in time simply because the destination you came from has now changed, and I don't think you'd know the position in space/time where you would now become.

First, I'd like to point out that changing anything in the past inevitably creates an inescapable paradox. If you go back and change something specific, than your original motivation for making the change is eliminated. Therefore you never make the change, but if you didn't make the change then you do have the motivation again and do make the change... you see how this goes nowhere fast.
I want to be a successful novelist. That's pretty much it.

ah, i remember we had this topic more then a year ago, was one of the first ones i posted in..
My future dream is still what it was then: designing my own house and having the money to build it + 2 border collies + having a wife that meets my only expectation: waking up every morning being intrigued by her.
and maybe buying the 1 house on isla cies, north west spain. the closest island to belgium with a white beach, clear azure water and sunshine !

I want to sasve the world from impending doom. Then they well carve a 60ft high solid emerald statue of me. I want to make a Yohgurt filled dohnut. Be the greatest rock god that ever lived and died.
I plan to buy all the people off my street and then blow it up. That will make way for my mansion. Finally i want to create my own miniature civilisation were the people form powerful nations and destroy each other while i laugh at them sadistically.

Quite extravagant there... any part of that in particular? Say you were only allowed to choose one part, which part would it be?

first i would like to do something that changes the world and all of soiciety and i mean something big like extending human life or (prepare for geek Rival) write out a formula to answer everything. the theory of everything.
anyway a more realistic one would be to get i job that is fufilling to me and others, pays well, and i enjoy, get a beautiful wife, big house and travel and live the world. then, at 120 years old i will be fully happy.

Last I noticed rival, Richard Branson doesn't take his special someone (is he married?) when he does cool stuff. On that note, for ?100,000 you can go to space in 2008 courtesy of Virgin Space line :razz:

I wouldn't want to be him, but I'm glad hes a knight, and I think other rich people could take some hint from him. I believe Bill Gates is an amazing man also. Now Rupert Murdock- hes a tyrant billionnaire, doesn't try to help anyone.
Hugh Hefner is good though :biggrin:

I'm thinking of becoming the Supreme ruler of Antarctica. I could have an army of penguins to do my every bidding.

You couldn't declare Antartica a country of its own though, because any such status would be self-destroying.

All my dreams have gone down the s**tter, to such an extent that I have
become highly cynical towards having any other dreams or ambitions
towards what my future would hold. Cheerful outlook I know but thats
the price you pay for living in fantasy land

Thats an interesting idea Nickelplate, but you'd have to do a serious load of crimes to be kicked out of every country, and very cunning ones to prevent getting put in jail! Might work though in theory. You would be a 3rd world country, but I suppose you could get loads of money from people wanting to do ice core tests there.
