Evil Questions... ?

Heyy (:
So, for Family Home Evening tonight my family played Risk, a game in which the objective is to take over the world. My little brother was boasting about how he was totally going to take over the world and win. So, I asked him WHY he wanted to take over the world. He tells me it's because "if you take over the world you would get a lot of power."
So I started arguing with him, explaining why I think it wouldn't be worth it to take over the world. He didn't get it... but he's only six. So, I wanted to see if my friends got it... here is the argument I gave my brother;


I wouldn't want to take over the world because it would be a huge waste of resources. I would kill off all of my minions just by taking over the world, and then I would have to go through the whole process of killing off everyone who had enough power to speak out against me and incite rebellion against me.
Then, I would have to go to all of the trouble to actually RULE the world. I could delegate, and let my minions do the work on camera, but I would still have to give my minions the orders, as to be perfect minions they wouldn't be able to think for themselves, so basically I would still have to go through all the work.
And, I would always be living in fear, because to take over the world I would have to become a tyrant, and tyrants always live in fear, because they always have to be watching out in case someone comes along who will rebel against them and take the world from them.
And for all this work, all I would get is a small feeling of power. Ya, I would get money and I would be in charge, but being in charge of such a large amount of people would suck.
I would have to listen to all of their petty complaints, because to insure that you stay in power, the people have to loose their ability to think for themselves. I would have to make sure that everyone has enough food, a nice place to live, clothes, and enough money that they don't always come begging to me. Plus, I would have to either learn every language in the world, or come up with a new one and teach it to everyone, so that I would be able to communicate with my subjects.
So it's not like taking over the world is something that you can do over the weekend. It would require lots of study, effort, and a real desire. Not to mention a gazillion minions!
So, to me, taking over the world isn't worth it. I don't get enough out of it to warrant all the work it would require.
And that is why I would not want to take over the world.


So, comments? Why would you want to take over the world, or, if not, why? Thankee :D
SMILE PPL!!!! ~LizzNerd (:
