You would kill to have Birthday parties with big music stars? Go to fukkin Chuckie Cheese's and you can have the experience of a lifetime.

Imagine the tail you could pull

antifoil · 03-25-11, 11:20 PM

i would be too paranoid someone was trying to kill me and coups going on. i think it would be too stressful

Waterstpub87 · 03-25-11, 11:26 PM

Absolutely. It would be awesome to rule a small island or something like that.

brucethebear · 03-26-11, 12:06 AM

Nah. Eventually the yanks would come after you

THE PROFIT · 03-26-11, 12:20 AM

its all fun & games until the UN or US decides all the sudden you're no longer a necessary part of the scheme, then they will invade your country, freeze your assets, & hang your ass. Ask Saddam

This world is a mess................nothing but war after war...

chacker · 03-26-11, 01:38 AM

No I would not like to be like Ghadafi. How many of his 'people/citizens' are dirt fukkin poor so he can be so rich. You have to be either a cold-hearted mfer or just plain delusional to be able to enjoy that money while so many suffer. If i was in his position of power I would use it to help my people and then, because i've helped so many people, big music stars would play at my child's birthday for free because they respect how i help people.

gaddafi looks very stressed out. it goes with the territory.

bozeman · 03-26-11, 05:03 AM

i would like to be a dictator - because i would try to end the dictatorship of corruption and burocrasy and idiotism in any country. Corruption has many faces, but all the thick wallets dictate governments what to do. Isn't that a dictatorship?

wtt0315 · 03-26-11, 05:08 AM

yes until they are ready to kill you then i would quit

juuso · 03-26-11, 05:29 AM

Being a dictator would have its benefits, but no, I wouldn't want to be one.

mighty maron · 03-26-11, 06:15 AM

Why always be looking over your shoulder?

Or ask the King of Jordan. As long as a dictator kisses the US government's ass then they are free to do whatever they want. Saddam's problem wasn't that he was a dictator. His problem was that he angered the US by invading Kuwait. Before that the US was arming him.

Tomahawk · 03-26-11, 06:25 AM

Being a dictator is a big responsibility and no one has ever succeeded to make a happy dictatorship for every citizen.

edimax · 03-26-11, 06:42 AM

Would be great to be the greatest people in the world

DblDeuce · 03-26-11, 06:46 AM

Its all good til everyone wants to have coupe and tries to assassinate your azz lol

wonderyears · 03-26-11, 07:29 AM

absolutely not, power corrupts

MadTiger · 03-26-11, 07:32 AM

My only original political science thought is this:

Benign dictatorship is the most efficient form of government.

The trouble is, most dictators are not benign.

Who can ever forget Rumseld shaking hands with Saddam like they were best buddies.

katstale · 03-26-11, 11:39 PM

I am thinkin I would do well on that island Wonder Woman came from.

dr_wolf · 03-27-11, 04:31 AM

So the question is who don't want to be?

If you don't have oil they won't come.

cala56 · 03-27-11, 11:41 PM

yes i will love it. i would like to fix games to win my bets, if you are a dictador, you can make it.

HeeeHAWWWW · 03-27-11, 11:46 PM

Best part of being a dictator: just think what you can ban.

"Reality" TV
Fox News
Tom Hanks
Belgium
etc etc

treece · 03-28-11, 06:02 AM

another good thing is you can have any girl you want, in your country at least.

Richkas · 03-28-11, 07:33 AM

Hell yes. I'd have my army round up all the hot 18 yo's and bring them to me

Waterstpub87 · 03-28-11, 09:14 AM

It'd be awesome to be a dictator

JimmysEgo · 03-28-11, 09:40 AM

i would get a multitude of STDs if i were in a position to pull tail on demand.
