Granted, but relativity kicks in and everyone you care about is dead. In fact, when you slow down you find a future Earth devastated by war, disease, famine, and the last few remaining humans beings alive are under a brutal and oppressive regime and no food crops can be grown because the soil has been destroyed and the existing food supplies are only expected to last another month, after which they plan to turn to cannibalism. And you're first on the menu.

I wish a cure to HIV/AIDS was found.


Blasphemy for Mrel = Mstatic/ ((1-(v/c)^2)^(1/2))

Granted but HIV/AIDS was similar to the descolada virus in the Ender's game series, by Orson Scott Card, and it is the only thing that could have destroyed an alien species, more effectively than we could have, and now we will be obliterated when they come to try and invade us.

I wish for people to start eating healthier.

Granted, but then people also start forming hippie communes and we deteriorate into anarchy.

I wish Bush wasn't President.

Granted, but instead of Bush winning the last election, Kerry did 8O

I wish human nature didn't have to be taken into account of ideals theorized in philosophy so that maybe some of those ideals could be realized practically.

Crap. "President Kerry? Now THAT'S scary." was a popular yard sign in October 2004 here.

Granted, but then you can't decide which unrealistic ideal to go for: Marxism, Enlightenment Liberalism, Anarcho-Capitalism, etc.

I wish someone besides the two of us would join in this thread.

Granted, but it's a mod and he, or she (in this PC age), closes the thread :evil:

I wish the people in the "Use the Last Two Letters for a New Word" would be consistent and either: use the last two letters in the order presented by the previous poster - use them in any arbitrary way.

Granted, but people in the thread go on an endless loop of ryed edifice century ryed edifice century for the next few hundred pages.

I wish a mod would lock this thread.

Granted, but then this same thread pops up a few days later with a new name and the same process continues ad infinitum.

I wish crows would get it over with and try and take over the world so that I have an excuse to punch them in the beak.

Granted, but you realize that punching crows in the beak isn't as satisfying as you thought it was.

I wish it wasn't so cold in my workplace

Granted. Your workplace is now on the surface of the sun.

I wish I could stop procrastinating so much.

Granted but then you can't stop to eat or sleep and die.

I wish I didn't have artist block.

Granted. Instead you're just a crappy artist.

I wish for Autism Speaks to be disbanded.

I'm already a crappy artist, I admit to that. Just can't think of new crap to post at FA.

Granted! But another similar thing takes it's place.

I wish you had remembered to post a wish and that you become the most famous and successful living artist in history.

An angry genie appears, smacks you around and says "You can't change your original wish."
But grants it anyway, I die a sad but rich artist.

Oops, I almost forgot my wish.

I wish I could pee on Bin Laden's leg and get away without being shot, stabbed, blown up, etc.

All well. No wish for you.
I wish my stereo could pick up 99.5 so I don't have to listen to the crappy local rock station.
