Before you answer something along the lines of "I wish I didn't stutter" or you decide to be altruistic and say "I wish nobody in the world had a speech problem" I want you to think about this. Would you rather just not stutter, or have everybody else start stuttering? I would personally be in a state of euphoria if everybody else just started stuttering, and got a taste of what it's like for us.
Now you may want to answer something like "I wish everybody in the world was happy and didn't have problems" but I don't care. Just consider what I was saying above, what would you think if everybody else started stuttering? Why should you have to change? Isn't everybody else just abnormal?
"I wish I had unlimited wishes" is not an option. Discuss.

I think I can answer this without breaking any restrictions of my wish. Personally, I hate stuttering and would never wish upon a person to stutter unless they deserved it (i.e. a person makes fun of someone who stutters :mad: ). Next, I would say that I do not think making the whole world stutter would be easier.
Here's my answer; why not wish that everyone was understanding and did not see stutters or others with different disabilities as being "different" or "abnormal". I think beside the fact of stuttering, a stutterer wants to feel of similar value as someone who doesn't stutter. Same to those with other disabilites.
Well, that's my opinion of your question :D

My wishes have nothing to do with my stutter or stutter in general. I don't if that will help with this topic. My one wish is to see people happy and if that means with someone without a stutter. Now, where is that lamp.

I couldnt answer the question on having just one wish. There are so many things to wish on.
I am just thankful for what I have compared to other people in the world.

This might sound strange but I know stuttering can be frustrating, but stuttering also is apart of me whether I like it or not..and I dont care any more that Im not fluent i guess I am use to it and in a way its a benefit, it will show who truely is your friend or not your friend

I think you're taking this worshipping thing a bit too far standingtall.
Be careful LTS. Remember he makes films of a specific nature...... :eek:
Don't worry Mr Sir William Wallace with a 7 foot sword, aka PowerOfthree7footsword, your still my number one hero. I still have your movie, Braveheart, and upgraded to D V D.

I think they got feet and inches mixed up.
Paris was well different, I was on the outskirts in a very small town called Cergy Ergany, not much there and as I dont have any french language skills (some would say I dont have any english skills) it was very difficult to order things.

I don't know, that might still give him an swell head, maybe we should think of cm.
Never been there, but I hope you had a good time anyway. I know a little french, but not enought to have an converstation, beside, I hear that Canadian French is so much different than France. Love that Accent thought.

As long as you could order the basics ;) when you were in France, you would have coped fine.
And I thought you were heading for Paris and all the delights that the city offers......
So did I, I thought the hotel was on the outskirts of Paris but was sadly mistaken when the taxi driver drove 30 kms out of CDG to some industrial area. One thing did make me wonder was when I gave him the hotel name and he didnt have a clue where Cergy was and had to use his sat nav to find it.
I was able to order the important things, beer and wine.
Pleased to be back in old blight.
