You sir, have amused me. That's no small achievement. Well done.

 - This guy has one of the longest locations on the board, and you still got it wrong.

 - The American billion is the one thousand million, wheras the british billion that I think Peg was referring to is one billion billion.

 - That :ha: smiley is the single most ridiculous and immature available on the board. Please, never use it again.

I'd sort my immediate family and friends out with reasonable lump sums of cash, houses cars and the rest, then i'd buy into a large, stable share portfolio which would sustain all my immediate material needs (to the tune of a mere £100,000/year)

Next i'd start looking at how to use my immense financial pull against exploitation of third world countries and pro-corporate/plutocrat lobby movements.  This is where most of the money would go.

Assuming the next twenty years would be successful, corporate personhood would be illegalised (like it was meant to be) and most exploitation practises would be greatly curtailed by an additional regulatory arm of the UN, or whichever body replaces it.

I'd also push for increased investment into microgee engineering and hopefully live to see the moon colonised and asteroid mining begin.  

Research would be nice to invest in but we're too socially immature to handle the technology we have already, we need to iron out the amount of disparity in the worlds' wealth mis-distribution (here's a kicker - if capitalism is based on infinate economic growth and resources why are we so scared to give all our cash away to the third world, cuz we're only going to make more...) before we can consider ourselves capable of organised space travel.  

I refuse to admit this is as good as it gets for our species, because if it it life just sucks.

Ok, maybe some Doritos. MADE OF DIAMONDS, mwahahahaha. :drevil:

::Edit::

If I had that kind of money? I'd write a will stating that ALL the money goes to charity and promptly kill myself.

i've had a lot of time to think about this.

i'd keep the house i'm in at the moment.  definately.  i'd buy the house (empty) on the side of my house though, keep the house intact, but put a 20 car garage in the back (with my own gas station, mechanics, etc.).  i'd then buy a lot of cars i've always wanted to buy, such as a 2003 bentley, ferrari, viper, and older cars, like 1974, 1959, and 1960 cadillacs.

the cars done, i'd put everything left of my "fortune" in a highly expensive and highly secure safe deep in the ground.  probabaly with a dedicated security system, and 10-15 foot thick steel walls.  that's like 5 million dollars+ right there.  however, i'd keep 15 million dollars in different banks, and i'd live off the interest (approximately $1,000,000 a year).

i dunno what else i'd do

"...The quintessential quality of our age is that of dreams coming true. Just think of it. For centuries we have dreamt of flying; recently we made that come true: we have always hankered for speed; now we have speeds greater than we can stand: we wanted to speak to far parts of the Earth; we can: we wanted to explore the sea bottom; we have: and so  on, and so on: and, too, we wanted the power to smash our enemies utterly; we have it. If we had truly wanted peace, we should have had that as well. But true peace has never been one of the genuine dreams - we have got little further than preaching against war in order to appease our consciences. The truly wishful dreams, the many-minded dreams are now irresistible - they become facts." - 'The Outward Urge' by John Wyndham

"The very essence of tolerance rests on the fact that we have to be intolerant of intolerance. Stretching right back to Kant, through the Frankfurt School and up to today, liberalism means that we can do anything we like as long as we don't hurt others. This means that if we are tolerant of others' intolerance - especially when that intolerance is a call for genocide - then all we are doing is allowing that intolerance to flourish, and allowing the violence that will spring from that intolerance to continue unabated." - Bren Carlill
