If you had unlimited money, what good things would you do?

    I'd create these massive pumps, and pump water from the ocean to areas where there is drought, where there is no clean water, filter it so people can drink.

    The ground would be able to grow crops, no one struggling for water or food.

    Also the water level would fall marginally

    A few world problems sorted. :cool:

    Unlimited money? Would that not somehow destroy the world economy by making money useless?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 814 ✭✭✭Tesco Massacre


    Probably just put it into a low-yield savings account.

    Seems like you'd be better off with an unlimited amount of water OP.

    I'd pay off everyone in Ireland's mortgage than buy them a pint.

    Let's just say you inherited a quazillion sterling.

    You can stay in Ireland OP and watch that, the Dubs trying to steal the water from the Shannon
    Happy to flood Westmeath for a reservoir instead of fixing their own pipes

    It's our water Bull, ours

    I'd build a castle, employ scientists, rocket engineers, etc, and build rockets, sending people on missions of space exploration.

    I'd throw Patrick Stewart onto one of them, dressed in Trekkie uniform, on the off-chance that some alien caught one of his shows :P

    Oh well then! I guess I'd rid the third world of national debt, then I would just go and enjoy myself.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,254 ✭✭✭Thatnastyboy


    I'd create a device to destroy your massive pumps.

    because I'd be sound like that.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 13,030 ✭✭✭✭Chuck Stone


    An assassin who specialises in bankers, property specualtors, and politicians.

    Then... whatever... have an all Island party to celebrate the assassinations.

    And then I'd do good stuff like buy everyone fur coats and gold plated fiat puntos and that kinda thing.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 19,969 ✭✭✭✭mikemac


    Buy boards from DeVore and put manners on a few of ye :mad:

    Hang on a minute, who am I kidding, if I had that much money I'd probably end up killing myself trying to be Batman.

    Would the salt water from the ocean not make the soil useless to grow anything?

    Burn the money, so the world's economy would not collapse (further).

    But obviously use heat recovery and carbon capture technology to avoid any global warming.

    It would basically have the same devastating results of a scheme by some crazed super-villain. Actually maybe he should go ahead with it so I can use my new found wealth to stop him by being Batman

    I'd spend lots on research and figure out some of life's wonders like:-

    How they get the figs into fig-rolls.
    If Vogue from Fade street is a man or woman.
    What are the ingredients of big mac sauce.
    Why the chicken originally crossed the road.
    what actually DID come first-chicken or egg.

    Then i'd go for a pint.

    Honestly, if I had the (infinite) money, i'd send you to college!!

    If raping 8-year-old boys didn't kill the Catholic Church, I hardly think coke and a few hookers would. With enough coke, and enough hookers, it might even become popular again.

    Be at peace,
