I would have to choose water because almost everything in the world needs it (not that I would try to hog all the water)

I would probably choose earth, because I can find ways to survive with just earth, I can summon up my own house. go down deep enough to get water, so much you can do with earth.

Well I like fire because it is a strong element, but if I really had to choose, it would be air because the thought of learning how to control air sounds very to me.

This is really how the thinking behind my decision goes:
1. Air, the best thing I feel about this is flying, which can be done using fire
2. Water, the ice can be melted through by a firebender who is aware of it.
3. Earth, it takes 4-5 earth benders to match the power of one fire bender

Therefore fire wins, LOL. I also like the lightning power.

I think that I would love to be a fire bender because for some strange reason I have been fascinated with fire. Like when I see a candle that it lit, I always like to stare at it and watch it flicker in the air.

Water. I've always had some sort of connection to water, it's almost like I'm a merman or something lol. But it's just awesome. Also, the water-peoples (whatever they're called, I can't for the life of me remember right now ) are based off a Native American tribe, (Inuit to be exact) which correlates to my history the best (so I'm Cherokee, big deal)

I already have an affinity with the Water Element, so I would most certainly be a water bender. Ice sword and slashing water crescent FTW!

Ah man, this is a good one. I would probably have to go with Water,air, because i could use the air to move the water, start a fire with my lighter, and i could slice up trees, and use the air to do earth style.

EARTH BENDING FTW. I'D BE LIKE MOSHING, BUT WITH ROCKS.

I would like to be an Earth Bender. It has this kind of hit that not many can just shake off. Yeah, the other bending techniques are powerful, but I like this one better. More power to it.

Truthfully, I would be happy with anything but Earth. But if I could choose, it would definitely be Air. I mean, can you just imagine the possibilities? To control the very thing that is keeping you alive? And not to mention it would be very useful. Just think about it.

- Air attacks. Imagine punching the air, and through the currents, it hits your enemy one by one, literally knocking the air out of them. Like invisible fist smashing into their chest and it sends them flying. All the while not laying a single finger on them.

-More Air attacks. You could literally crush you enemies by bending the air from their body. I believe it would collapse their lunges if something like that happened.

-Um flying.

-GIGANTIC leaps. And you don't have to worry about a thing because the air will cushion your fall.

Oh yeah remember the time Aang did push ups without using his hands. Just Airbending. Need I say more?
So I guess what I'm trying to say is, Air would definitely be the most powerful element, and all the other nations should be greatful that the airbenders were peaceful nomads.

It's a hard chose if I have to choose 1 it would have to be water because I like the healing magic and you can use water to heal. 

Air bender all the way. It has the flow and power that I think describes me. And thank you for not saying the last airbender the movie. That movie will never be mentioned in my house. The show was so much better.

I chose earth,because an earth bender can control not only earth and rocks,but also sand,crystal and metal,and I could use that to create weapons or shields.

Air bending, for sure. I would love to be able to fly and be so light on my toes. Also they get sky bison, and who doesn't want a sky bison?

I would want to be a water bender since i love katara's hair and how graceful they are, but to honest, my personality tell me different lol so i would have to be an earth bender.

Fire so I don't go through the trouble of rubbing two sticks together

That's a tough question.  I rather be a firebender since they can control lighting as well.
