What If...?

[Ethereal Sage]

Time to make use of those dormant imagination brain cells :hotjump:

The exercise is called 'What if...?'

Basically, one person asks the question 'What if..?', filling in the dots, then other people brain-storm over possibilities and offer them freely.

eg. I ask 'What if clones were really among us?'. Anyone who wishes to participate then posts their interpretation of a possible answer from their view.

It's all about sharing ideas...possibilities are endless.

I hope you enjoy.

I shall start with 'What if music was used as a weapon?'

dream theater would substitute sleeping gas.

 

[TheFourthHorseman]

Music IS used as a weapon.

@ Rahvin

If music were used as a weapon, then no doubt there'd be armour. Earplugs, I suppose, unless someone feels like inventing some kind of a sound-proof helmet or hood.

What if sex was used as a weapon

 

[hyena]

we'd all be faring exactly as we are now.

 

[metta4]

Yes sex is a weapon, and the bullet that delivers it is AIDS, its killed millions
don't believe anything your sexual partner tells you about their past as you are having sex with everyone they have had sex with, practice safe sex , it can save your life

 

[hyena]

and you don't even need warzones. most ordinary people do that.

edit: i didn't mean "that" as in "transmitting AIDS". more along the lines of reducing others to mindless drones through clever use of sexual desire.

 

[Ethereal Sage]

I agree sex is used as a weapon, but not just because of diseases...desire and lust play into it as well.

what if some things are destined to failure?

 

[Ethereal Sage]

Then could one really be justified in being disappointed at the outcome?
'Destined to failure' implies there was never a possibility of success to begin with, but that all depends on one's outlook. Failure to one person may be partial success to another.

what if some things are destined to failure?

what if some things are never meant to be?

 

[Spike]

what if some things are never meant to be?

If they were never meant to be, then why conceive of them in the first place?

The mind is a wonderful thing. I say that if it can be conceived, then it is possible. So there is no such thing as something that was 'never meant to be'. Of course, this does not account for the likelyhood of something happening. Still, there's no point giving up hope before an event could occur.

What if..... intentions were pure?

 

[King Chaos]

I wouldnt carry nun-chukus around with me. :Smokedev:

What If we had the choice to take things back to the days of old, with no electricity, no major fossil fuels or burning of crude oil... and there are dragons?

This thread is a good Idea

 

[rahvin]

What if..... intentions were pure?

then they could be subjected to a trial, and oh man how many people we'll see hanging.

What If we had the choice to take things back to the days of old, with no electricity, no major fossil fuels or burning of crude oil... and there are dragons?

we'll succumb, there's so very few of us who could survive in extreme situations. so many people are completely lost if they leave home without a sandwich for the day, i can scarcely see them fighting for their lives.
or anybody else's.

 

[Dark_Jester]

If there were dragons, I'd be standing round going 'awesome...dragons', probably until they ate me. But cool, I'd get eaten by a DRAGON!

What if there was no law?

 

[Northern Lights]

Society would probably fall apart - or maybe it'd remain the same? Because it seems to me that breaking the law isn't as big a concern as going against your own morale, and if your morale is similar to the law you're not going to break it, however, if it isn't, you will. If that makes any sense...

 

[King Chaos]

If there was no law, justice would be a gift in the hand of the beholder. To recieve Vengence for ones wrong doing would become karma. Id prefer it if I knew I could torture certain scum and get away with it. Problem would be those fools who'd take advantage of the no law, however the same fools break the law constantly so perhaps things wouldnt change... Thats a good one DJ
