    Easy answer for me. The ability to converse audibly with God.

    Silly, you could re-live your life with everything you know now...

    You'd know exactly when/where you met your wife. You could still have your kids AND be a billionaire. You gotta think about being a good Biff.

    Stop with this bullshit. Al Gore never said he invented the internet. It's really annoying to hear conservatives say this lie over and over again. Al Gore did have a significant amount of influence in the internet being built and would have been a way better president than George Bush.

    The more I consider this question. The more I wish everyone was able to read the minds of everyone else.

    The ability for everyone to read everyone's mind would eliminate all lying, cheating, stealing, and deception of all sorts. Which is the basis for most problems in the world, and probably many wars. But it would make playing poker very boring.

    I think the dilemma would be:

    Do I make a selfish wish or an unselfish wish?

    Do I wish for unimaginable wealth? Immortality? Some other dream scenario like the ability to read minds, etc etc etc?

    Or do I wish for something like world peace? And what exactly does world peace look like? How does it play out? All guns magically stop working? People lose their urge to harm one another? The fundamental issue is that humans are violent and angry by nature. So to wish for something that essentially removes a large part of our genetic makeup, could have unintended consequences. And wouldn't it be just our luck that we all become docile pansies and aliens decide to invade...

    Watch butterfly effect with Ashton Kutcher. Reliving your life would be stupid. You could die 10 minutes in

    Ok, this isn't my one wish, but I really wish that the Blazers had taken care of business in 2000 WCF Game 7. That was a great team and it still baffles me how that game got away.

    Humans are intelligent enough to know when to use violence. Mind Over Matter. You are in control of your body right? So that means you can choose when to be violent and when not to. If the golden rule was law of the land and everyone subscribed to it, there would be no violence. We'd treat each other the way we want to be treated.

    My selfish wish would be to have the size and powers of Beast from the X-Men. That's some Teen Wolf type shit right there! I'd be the best NBA player of all time!

    Buuuuuut if your wish was to go back in time knowing everything you know now, imagine how much money you could make knowing the Blazers are going to lose! I love them but I'd rather have that money!

    I have seen that movie and I don't believe one bit of it. Why in the hell would one butterfly's wing beat change who the president would be or change my life in any way? I just don't believe that. Like I said I would be the good Biff.
