My goodness, I wouldn’t have any problem using mind control to induce someone to give me their nachos.
Unless it was their last meal, of course.
Screw that. It’s not like they’re going to miss them in just an hour or two, now is it?
How many minds can I control at one time?
One.
Twins, I mean two?
Oh, the fun that would be had…
Fred Phelps & Clan: “Hmmm…filming and distributing incestuous gay porn seems like a terrific idea…”
Donald Wildmon: “I think I’ll show up in full drag for every public speaking event…”
Ann Coulter: “I must spontaneously and loudly orgasm every time I hear the name ‘Clinton’.”
I would like to think I would only use my powers for good, but knowing me like I do, after about 30 minutes I would have “convinced” some woman that I was completely irresistable and that she needed me like she needs to breathe. After a week I would have “acquired” some cultish compound somewhere and have an army of followers waiting to fulfill my every want and need with baited breath. A month later I would be an Evil Genius plotting to take over the world while all the world’s armies were aligning against me. Inside of six months I would either be the Emperor of Earth, or dead. Que sera sera.
Why couldnt you control the minds of the other world leaders, or even just their armies? Then you could have the guily pleasure of shouting “Seize them!” and throw the other leaders in a dungeon somewhere. I’ve clearly put too much thought into this.
Y’know, if it was someone like, say, Charles Ng, I don’t think I’d miss much sleep over tricking him out of his last corn chips. (As long as he hadn’t touched them yet. Ick.)
If you want to casue some real destruction…
any politician I must tell the truth.
Myself, I would usually try not to use powers. I would think of that as being coercion, even worse than using some sort of threats. To invade someone’s mind would be a violation. I would however, be willing to use it as a weapon of defense against anyone trying to do real harm to me.
(assuming mind reading as well… ) “Wilson!”
is rationalisation possible? maybe invoke a line of sight aura that makes you look pleasing to anyone looking at you? that can’t be any worse than being beautiful/handsome.
