    Granted, but if all the kiddies sat in front of clean blackboards, they would never learn anything, or get time of class to beat the chalk from the blackboard dusters.

    I wish that all the footballs in the world would become square and that houses were made out of them for the homeless.

    Granted, but that would give carte blanche to all the Thierry Henrys of this world to come and kick seven bales of stuff out of your sitting-room wall....

    I wish I had known then what I know now....

    Granted. But then you would not have had the journey....that led you to be the beautiful person are today.

    I wish for everyone to comfortable in their own skin.

    Granted, but if everybody was comfortable in their own skin they would instantly shed any inhibitions about their own bodies and all become nudists. The mass migration of nudists to the warmer climes would interfere with the earths rotation, push it out of orbit and plunge us all into the freezing oblivion of deepest space.

    I wish that peanut butter didn't get stuck in my throat.

    Granted, but then you eat the world's supply of peanut butter - starting a global war in desperate scramble to secure alternatives - for which you are later tried at the Hague for the war crime of eating all the peanut butter.

    i wish i hadn't just lost my pen

  • FrizzerFrizzer
    edited January 2006
    Granted, but then you would have wished for that instead of what you just wished for (my brain hurts!).

    GRANTED, but then all the deaf people around you while you spoke wouldn't be able to testify in court what you truly said, which would not have been as bad as those problematic people falsely would claim.

    I wish that short men weren't so surly. (After all, all men are short compared to Mt. Everest, so why do men under, say 5'4", behave so badly?)
  • Argon.AidArgon.Aid Veteran

    Granted, but know you know all of the answers to the "why" questions that everyone has and you are bombarded with answering people's questions 24 hours a day!

    I wish that Geroge Bush didn't get under my skin so bad when he says things like,

    I wish parents didn't pass on materialism to their children.

    Haha, nice smartass reply. Granted, but now there is a fervor of anti-materialism, and the Cultural Revolution II takes place.

    I wish my second date would be great also.

    Granted but word gets round what a great date you are and even the most annoying girls insist on a date, whilst the girl of your heart decides you are just another Don Juan!

    I wish schools taught history more intelligently.

    Hey! Just like you told me Fede...never keep your lips shut! (but I know what you mean!)

    Granted but what? You want more than a lifetime??? Anyway - tasks always expand to fill more than the time allotted to them - Parkinson's law.

    Granted. Everyone becomes compliant. You have no one to argue with. You die of boredom within a week.

    I wish the squirrels wouldn't steal the birds' food.
  • SanghaSangha
    edited January 2006
    Granted! But all the squirrels die of starvation, and the birds fall out of the sky because they're too fat, thus the ground is littered with dead fat birds and dead anorexic(or were before they died) squirrels.

    I wish I was magic.

    Granted but think of the ructions that would cause at home! (and that's cheating cos you have it anyway!)

    I wish all the good programmes weren't on the telly just about the time I should be going to sleep!
  • sharpiegirlsharpiegirl
    edited January 2006
    Granted. But then you'd become attached to watching mindless program on that telly and you'd loose your title, "Mother Raven, High Piestess and Chief Toilet Cleaner"! You'd forever regrett it!

    I wish I didn't have complete Progress Reports (or at least the ones the school provides, they are so 'black 'n white' so to speak)
  • ajani_mgoajani_mgo Veteran
    edited January 2006
    Granted. But now to solve your complaint, the school has decided to make them incomplete by printing out the first digit of every score. As a result, you got only "1%" for the first trimester, "0%" for the second and another "0%" for the third.

    I wish Port Royale 2 (the mobile game! Anyone plays it?) releases another sequel!

    Granted. But it turns out to be an interactive debate on necessary vs. sufficient Grace, based on Bossuet's account of Jansenism.

    I wish I could unscrew the light-bulb that is stuck, in the bathroom.

  • carbonunitcarbonunit

    Granted, but imagine how your meditation would suffer - being able to bring the mind back to the support of the rumbling helps to keep the mind focused.

    GRANTED, but then all hatred would be aimed within and we'd all self-destruct. (On the hypothesis that we've all had, or most of us have had, at least a second or two of blind hatred of something along the way.)

    I wish that newspapers didn't profit by stirring up controversy.

    I'm sorry if that wish has already been expressed, but I jumped at the opportunity of responding to one of Captain Bob's posts. Young people can be so great!

    If This World Was Not Made for Thee, My Son,
    For Whom Was It Made?

    Let the Path Ahead of Thee Be Peaceful,
    Thy Ways Strewn With Rays and Breezes, Bliss-Drenched,
    And the Road Behind Thee Littered With Potent Seeds of Joy.
    Let Thy Very Name Be Bliss!
