If I Ran The World.....
Submitted by Ms. Naugle on Sun, 10/24/2010 - 10:12amIf I Ran the World...
If I ran the world coffee would be banned. Everyone would wear spectacles and speak in a fancy accent while drinking tea with me. Every one would be well fed and never talk dirty. And there would be peace in every corner of the world. No fights, no arguments, just words -- KIND words. This is how I would run the world.

"Candy Land."
Submitted by jwizzle on Fri, 10/22/2010 - 2:43pmIf I ran the world, I would make everything out of candy. All the skyscrapers and tall buildings would be pieced together with thousands and thousands of Twizzlers. Houses would be like life-size gingerbread houses. The sidewalks would be made out of tile Jolly Ranchers, would reflect all the sun's light, making the world a brighter place. Railings would be made of pixie sticks, and stairs would be constructed of billions of Star Burst. Anybody could take a bite out of anything, which would totally obliterate world hunger. Read more »
WORLD
Submitted by smcdonough on Wed, 10/20/2010 - 10:48pm
If I ran the world I, would stop the production of gas powered cars and fund the research of hydrogen powered cars. This would help stop global warming, and we'd be more energy efficient. The hydrogen powered cars only produce water instead of CO2, causes global warning. With global warming, the ice caps are melting and there are more natural disasters happening all the time.
No Smoking
Submitted by smcdonough on Wed, 10/20/2010 - 10:41pmIf I ran the world,I would have NO SMOKING!!
Smoking harms people. Lung cancer is the number one danger from smoking. Cancer of the throat is another harm of smoking. These are just two cancers; there are many more - at least 10.
483,000 people die a year in the United States from smoking: 40% from cancer, 35% from heart disease and stroke, and 25% from lung disease. That is too many people to die in one year from smoking. Read more »
Wyman
Submitted by dmorrison on Wed, 10/20/2010 - 3:03pmIf I ran the world, I would donate money to poor people on the street. I would do that so they could buy food and not go hungry. This way the population of the world would be healther.
I would also make laws that if you littered, you'd get a hefty fine. This would protect the birds and other animals. If I ran the world, I would help everybody I could.
If I Ran The World
Submitted by Tamra Higgins on Wed, 10/20/2010 - 2:59pmThere was nothing else but the desert surrounding Tim and me. I sat down watching the World burn around me. All I could hear were explosions, people wailing in pain, cars squealing and animals making their variety of cries. There was a nasty smell of burning flesh and park trees. The whole city was engulfed in flames and smoke. People yelled to Tim and me as they were being eaten by the flames. Read more »

A Bad Trait
Submitted by Lilly.Cadow on Tue, 10/19/2010 - 6:29pmSometimes, people have terrible habits. I am one of those people. It’s not the worst mannerism, but it makes a lot of people really mad. I also have a talent. That talent is my mannerism. I blow on my hands and music comes out. It’s whistling. I puff on my hands all of the time, and I can play songs once I have a feel of the tune. Folks get quite cross with me when I make the smallest bit of noise, or even lift my hands to my mouth. Read more »
My Crazy Mannerism
Submitted by izzymhansen2 on Tue, 10/19/2010 - 6:17pmEverybody has mannerisms, whether it happens when you're scared, thinking, when your angry, and even when you're happy. Some people scratch themselves and others tap their foot. Some people even twitch their eyes. I don't have any of those mannerisms. My crazy trait is something I do when I'm nervous. It is the weirdest of them all. My mannerism is that I smile like a crazy person. My nervous smile is not small and cute. It is flat out weird. I can't help it. Read more »
Table Shaking!
Submitted by winslowe on Tue, 10/19/2010 - 2:44pmSuppose you are sitting at a nice table writing a very important note. Some one comes up to you and says, "Can I sit with you?" Being nice like you are you say, "Yes". The person sits down, slams their binder against the table causing it to shake. Than they start shaking their legs causing the table to shake even more. Than you look down and see that your handwriting is getting shaky because of all the moving of the table. Read more »
Life Train
Submitted by cloud9 on Mon, 10/18/2010 - 9:28pmIf I ran the world, I would make changes.
I'd love to see people defy me, just to exercise my power.
I'd not do harm, though,
as there's already too much of that
in the world.
Let's start with world peace.
But let us not be cheesy, now.
All the problems can't just disappear,
it's not possible.
Everyone's hurting in their own ways.
So who comes first?
The children?
Or the fighting countries?
How is one to choose who should have peace first? Read more »

"Stop tapping!" she snapped. This time I nodded dutifully.
"I am going to take all your pens away," they said in unison. Read more »
Running The World
Submitted by sarahbluebob on Fri, 10/15/2010 - 4:49pm
If I ran the world things would change! Peace between all nations every day! No wars, no fighting and no family members dead because of war. The world would be peaceful, like two doves every day. The world would also start turning in another kind of way.
