CreateDebate is a social debate community built around ideas, discussion and democracy.
If this is your first time checking out a debate, here are some quick tips to help get you started:
Arguments with the highest score are displayed first.
Argument replies (both in favor and in opposition) are displayed below the original argument.
To follow along, you may find it helpful to show and hide the replies displayed below each argument.
To vote for an argument, use these icons:
You have the power to cast exactly one vote (either up or down) for each argument.
Once you vote, the icon will become grayed out and the argument's score will change.
Yes, you can change your vote.
Debate scores, side scores and tag scores are automatically calculated by an algorithm that primarily takes argument scores into account.
All scores are updated in real-time.
To learn more about the CreateDebate scoring system, check out the FAQ.
When you are ready to voice your opinion, use the Add Argument button to create an argument.
If you would like to address an existing argument, use the Support and Dispute link within that argument to create a new reply.
The power to see flatulence. There would be no end to my mirth. The plumes from large crowds, ranting evangelicals and lying political podium monkeys would confirm my suspicions.
I would have it so, whenever I touched the tips of my fingers to the tips of my toes, whatever I was thinking, happened. I made this fairly complicated so that I never do it on accident.
dang i got here late and all the good powers are taken =(
immortality and never sleeping would have been my choice but seeing flatulence is great too, but i will choose...
Complete and absolute power over Time to start and stop as i see fit, to rewind and fast forward, so that i may see what really happened, and read what was written down. To see what will happen...
The ability to completely control time is a super power i would love and have thought about often. It would be so cool to see what happened in the past. i would want the ability though however to retain and add to my current knowledge no matter where i move through time. and the ability to restart life at an earlier point.
A few things I would love to do with time control:
-use today's technology to trick people of the past into thinking I was a god and then rule the world
-release every good album a year before the real artist even wrote them....alternately take the top 10 billboard songs (w/ male vocals) of a particular year and record them myself releasing them as an album the previous year
-go back and bet all my money on the giants in the superbowl (or any other underdog that has won big)
-become friends w/ one of mentors when they were my age
-I guess I'll stop here, possibilities are endless ;)
The power I would most like would be to restart my life, or the day or the the hour, just be able to jump to any point in my life at anytime while attaining all the knowledge I've accumulated through the years. That way I could live my life the best way I could. Or if there was a girl I like (similar to 50 first dates) I could try as many pick-up lines as I wanted til she fell for me lol
I called it the "Save Point" power. It means I could also do something important stupidly just to see what would happen and then go back and do it properly.
The power to overide peoples 5 senses.All 5.Couldn't see me,hear me,smell me[very important],or touch me.OK tasting wouldn't be that big a deal but its there if you need it.
very nice alternative to the very common invisibility power. Way to think outside the box! lol...I'm assuming you could turn this override off or on, right? Cuz essentially you just wouldn't exist...
I have 3 children under the age of 4. Eventually I will forget what they are like, when they get to be teenagers for example. I would really like to be able to have total recall of the time I'm spending with them now.
Also, you could really creep people out with it if you wanted to...
Probably the ability to fly. Yes, I know it's not very creative, but imagine the possibilities. You could travel anywhere in the world in a matter of minutes, and just looking down at th Earth from miles in the sky would be awesome. If not the ability to fly, than the ability to travel back and fourth through time. Imagine how much could be learned from that. Basically all of histories questions could be answered.
I'd extend it a bit further and say the ability to control the wind. Flying plus the ability to change the temperature around you (To hell with being too cold or too hot), being nearly impossible to be hit by projectiles, and the power to kill through suffocation? I like.
I agree, the ability to fly is where its at. Though, I'd like to one-up your superpower to include flight through space at the speed of light. Think about the questions that you could answer if that was possible!
For myself invisibility and immunity to injury, to lessing my anxiety. My sister would choose morphing and time powers, i think thats cool too. Another power i would want is just a photographic memory, so that when I'm looking for a new way to draw something, I'll be able to see something cool and remember how to draw it later.
The Power of Super Adaptivity. If I'm drowning, I grow gills. I get shot, My skin becomes bullet proof. I'm free falling, wings! Wears off after I am out of said situation
This is just me, but I think immortality would suck. Having a finite existence gives your life purpose, meaning, and a great reason to savor it while you can.
Life is what you make of it... This is why I've picked for me, the power that I did.
Imagine being able to know as much as you wanted, and being able to work as many different jobs as you'd like. Be fat for 100 year, and then work out, get thin for 100 years. Think about future technology, and the end of the world. I would love be be there for all of that.
Hell, if I wanted to, I could rule the world. I would be the wisest person in the world, I could invent things endlessly, I could change the face of the planet... and I would finally feel like I have time to stop and ask questions, and really think them through.
You talk about death making you appreciate things more, imagine living on mount Everest for 10 years and feeling like you haven't wasted a second of your life. That would be an amazing feeling.
Thank you for clarifying! When I first saw your post I imagined how some might react, but really though how much do people stress over deadlines and lost time?
Personally even in my finite life, I wonder what it'd be like to live a "different" life every 2-3 years. You know different place, different job, different friends. Your power would make that possible.
The one downside, what if you get stuck in bad times and are homeless for 200 years? lol
"Hell, if I wanted to, I could rule the world. I would be the wisest person in the world"
Wise people don't typically get the chance to rule.
The perfect memory.

I love this. Especially the not needing sleep part. I don't know about living forever. I would like immortality, but only if I had the ability to kill myself.
