What else would you like to see in your lifetime?
 
Assuming you wanted to see a black president that is. I think a woman or a gay in the White House is inevitable so those are not on my list. I think I'd want to see an android created. Not necessarily a Data like in Star Trek. More like that machine in the Will Smith film. Same capabilities, same safeguards built in to protect and never do harm to humans - the three laws. I think that would be cool.

But first, I want to see my kids as happy, well adjusted adults with families of their own. Then the android.

What about you? World peace? Not in a millenia, I'd bet.

Decaf, dude... there's nothing good that can come from being wound up that tight this time of night.

Seriously.

I couldn't care less about the president's race. I would love to see our government abide by the Constitution in my lifetime though. Won't happen, but I dream of it.

I want to see peace, freedom, real world cooperation and happy wife, kids and family.

No particular order.

I would like to see the ethnicity of the candidate not ****ing matter.

I would like to see a person nominated or elected based on qualifications. Full stop.

Amen to that!

A man after my own heart.

Man, I'd love to see Ron Paul get elected - if nothing else be taken seriously, but that'll never happen either.

It's rare that I see a post that is so epic, I get jealous that I wasn't the one who created it.

The first post in this thread is one of those. That is pure genius, poetry, man.

My only criticism is, as often happens, it went just one step too long. Cut out that last paragraph, and it's perfect.

Your wish is my command. Check out the reason for the edit of the first post.

No, not dark. Asimov's I, Robot.

Excellent, it now has the perfect balance and flow that it lacked. I've read it 10X and can't stop lol-ing.

I challenge anyone to come up with a funnier response to your question, using 5 lines or less.

Before anyone starts, I'd suggest stopping, because it can't be done.

Oh sorry. World peace, no hungry children, greedy capitalists publicly flogged, etc.

I hope I have A LOT left to see, I'm only 31. I'd Love to see a shuttle launch before it is put to bed

It seems I'm not the only one who doesn't give a damn about our President's race. It really doesn't matter. We could have a gay, black, woman in the white house, as long as she is the best person for the job, I could care less!

Time travel would be cool, I could go back and buy Dad a box of rubbers.

Most of all though, I'd like to see people quit being so damned petty. We've got people ready to have a stroke over "One Star Guy". We have people still going insane over Bush, and we have people flipping out over Obama. I voted for one, and didn't vote for the other. I didn't like everything W. did, and so far I don't like much that Obama does, BUT whether I like him or not, I'm an American, and he IS my President. One side needs to quit whining, and the other side needs to quit being so damned smug.

I would actually like to see the people on here that ***** about trolls, actually see one. If you have an opinion here that goes against the hive mind, and won't back down from it, you are a "troll". Bull****! That isn't what a troll is. That's just standing up for what you believe in. LEARN IT!

As far as androids, I think we're there already. I have to go out in the middle of the woods to get away from all of the people with cell phone implants in their heads. It's become more important to talk with some one on the phone, than the person sitting next to you.

I would really like to see everyone here healthy, happy, and satisfied with your little space in this world. Some of you leave me shaking my head, but you're still family.
