Why would I want to rule over other people?
Stupid.
 
I of course would be the Iron Fist of an perfect Dictatorship. Then I would construct weapons(dependant upon the time period as to how good they were) then launch a massive invasion of the heaven like place and rule. muahahhaha :D
 
The comfort of heaven is no comparison to the freedom of being king. Enjoyable things, like candy, are only enjoyable in small quantities. If all you've ever eaten is candy, you'll soon find it undesireable. It's like eating the same brand of cereal over and over. Even if the cereal is the best in the world, you will eventually get sick of it, and want something new. If you're stuck serving in heaven, no such luck. With no one above you in hell, you can have the occasional pleasures that make life enjoyable, even if everything else sucks right away.

It's not about ruling over other people. It's about having no one else rule over you.

I'll take both thank you. :)

I won't be a very controlling king, pretty benevolent actually. The only laws that people might be upset with are the ridgid environmental standards I will impose. However, in the long run, they will thank me. :)
 
Better to be a commoner in America than a king in some dump.

Being ruled over is pretty much a state of mind. I do whatever the crap I want to anyway. If I went too far, I'd get killed or arrested, if a king went too far, he'd be killed or imprisoned.
 
King - what do I care if it is poor, so long as there is enough wealth for me to plunder to support a lavish lifestyle.
