superpowers

If you were given one superhuman power, what would it be? One thing only....and what would you do with it?

Xray vision! I brought it up here, but noone seemed to agree.

Either that or the ability to stop time for everyone/everything but myself, first I'd get 8 hours of sleep in a second of real time, then I'd start raising hell.

Flight would be cool. Can I keep my Jedi Powers, though, or would I have to turn those in to get flight?

I'd choose being able to sense what other people are thinking about.

I bet that'd be interesting for the first half hour then you'd begin to realise just how much mundane shit fills all of our heads

True, but at least he'd be forwarned when his wife was going to hit him with the dreaded "Whatcha thinking?"

Yes, because everyone knows people don't pay enough in taxes in the UK. Only idiots want to punish the industrious, hard working and responsible people who have earned their wealth and who give jobs to others (the poor live off the wealthy, not the other way around), so they can reward the lazy, inept, and irresponsible. But then again only an idiot would accuse Israel of being monsters, claim they stole land, or compare them to Nazis.



Oh yea, and out of all super heros, I'd probably be the Flash, or PlasticMan. The Flash because I could run across the ocean to see my wife anytime and Plasticman because I could do all sorts of perverted things to her when I got there. (What can I say I miss her a lot in all sorts of ways)

yo. cut that shit out, man. for chrissakes, this thread is about superpowers, not goddamn taxes and politics. don;t you get tired of standing on that soap box? why can;t you just be yourself? fuckin a.

Youre just some dude that lives in arkansas or someshit. I think you;re funny when you aren't drowning me in your politics. I am hereby revoking your right to talk about anything serious in this thread. you must fuck around. come up with something funny, or I'll tell sycamore that you secretly admire him.

teleportation. instant teleportation. to anywhere i could imagine well enough to see in my mind. including six inches to the left, just inside the girls locker room at the local college, and the inside of that tasty bank vault. i could dodge bullets, explore deep space one leap at a time, the possibilities are endless.

Yeah Radar, it is getting old...I admit I try and skip over your posts when I see your name.

You seem like a bright guy but I'm not here to listen to your rants.

There are a few thousand political/bitter boards out there..you should find or start one.

What's this a posse forming?
Tried to tell you guys about making up rules. You might as well wave a red flag at all the nonconformists in this joint.

Actually RADAR I dont think we pay enough taxes in the UK. Certainly the wealthy dont. They used to years ago....but that was changed whilst the tories were inpower. Now our wealthy elite pay only a fraction of what their mainland european couterparts pay.....

Anyway.....If I could have any superpowers I think I'd go for flight....ooooo yes...swooping about ...yah I can just imagine it....*goes off into fantasy world where she can swoop gaily about the skies*

The wealthy don`t pay taxes, it`s far cheaper to buy your way out of them.
