IF I WERE PRESIDENT...(HOW YOU'D MAKE YOUR COUNTRY BETTER)

25-05-2004, 06:45
I shall type my response at a later date...

What needs fixing in everyone's countries and how would you fix it. For example, healthcare. What's wrong with the health system in your country and what measures would you take to rectify it.

Consider:

1. Feasibility
2. Cost
3. Time required
4. Consequences/benefits

if i were president I would send everyone who didn't agree with me to camp x-ray and nuke the whole mid-east, and invade every country that didn't like what I was doing.

thats why i will never run for public office.

As British PM I would do the following:

1. Ban Democracy. Why trust the people to vote for the right person? They proved they are stupid by voting in New Labour. Democracy is a failure anyway.

2. Privatise the NHS. Why should my taxes go towards paying for treatment for a bunch of malingering social parasites.

3. Scrap Benefits totally. Make people go out and work for a living. And if you cant then see No 4.

4. Legalise Euthanasia & Capital Punishment. We have far too many people as it is, why hold on to the ones who want to die and those who we don't want to live. (EDIT - Better that one innocent person should die than 99 guilty go free, so scrap appeals etc and make death sentances be carried out within 24 hours)

5. Withdraw from the EU, UN, Commonwealth and all others.

6. Abolish the Monarchy and seize back royal property that they stole off the people in the first place.

7. Abolish the United Kingdoms. Instead of 4 countries, make it one, Britain! No more Scotland, England, Wales or Northern Ireland, just one country.

And if that isn't a recipe for a civil war I don't know what is! Would have lots of factions, My lot (who I will call the Sensible Ones) versus Europeans, Royalists, Socialists, Democrats, Nationalists etc.

Why not start today and Vote for Jeem.

Long Live the Tyrant of Jeem.

If I were president,

1) I (and my government) would not recognize, nor would I censor, any religion.

2) The government would stay out of people's bedrooms

3) I would decrimalize drug convictions

4) I would legalize medical marijuana

5) Abortion would remain legal, however the father would have to be given the opertunity to give or not give consent. Without the fathers consent the procedure could not be performed.

6) Churches would have to meet the same requirements as secular orginizations to achieve tax exempt status.

7) All military members would be pulled from foriegn service.

8) A fine would be issued to people who drive SUVs without at least 3 passengers.

9) Tax breaks would be given for driving fuel effecent cares.

10) More money would be spent on AIDs research.

11) Reform welfare, if you get a check you do a job. It may be filling in at the DMV while someone goes on vacation or cleaning up the roads. No work no check.

12) reinstate corpral punishment, remove the death sentance.

Oooh. Religion! One I missed!

Add to my list that all religions would be forced to swear loyalty to the state in order to practice. Failure to do so would result in the religion becoming a banned religion punishable by death.

If I were the President of the United States, I would try to do the following (Congress willing):

-- completely reform the tax structure to simplify it and reduce it, eliminating capital gains and estate taxes will also eliminating some deductions and most tax shelters. The goal here is a relatively flat tax structure, with some gradients, and relatively simple rules that encourage investment and savings.

-- keep government expenditures in line with revenues, leading to...

-- structural cuts in the size and scope of the Federal Government. I would want a national debate on exactly what is the proper role of the US Government. In my vision, that role would very limited. Responsibilty for education, for instance, would be returned to the states, allowing the disestablishment of the Department of Education. I would also examine the need for seperate Departments of Energy, Transportation, Housing, Commerce, Health and Human Services and Labor. I might want to merge some elements of these and eliminate others. Those roles and functions eliminated would return to the states.

-- elminate the Department of Homeland Security. I would centralize the responsiblity for Customs and Immigration under a seperate agency within the Department of State. Other law enforcement responsiblities would go back to the Department of Justice.

-- repeal the Patriot Act. Individually reconsider the various elements, such as the "floating" wiretap that allows a judge to order a wiretap on a person rather than a specific telephone number. A few things like that might make sense if passed individually with proper congressional oversight.

-- abolish the Federal death penalty and call on the states to do likewise.

-- reduce the US military presence in Europe, shifting remaining light forces to Eastern Europe, the Middle East and Korea.

-- in foreign policy, pursue the long-term goal of a common market in the western hemisphere and a far-reaching free trade agreement with the EU.

-- reinvigorate the space program by encouraging greater public-private and international cooperation.

-- in terms of energy policy, promote research into the development of reliable fusion power.

that's both easy and hard
a president in a truely democratic country really couldn't do it himself
and of course dictators and absolute monarchs can't really be trusted to
well the first thing i'd have done clandestinely is to put something in everybody's water supply to lower human firtility accross the board.
i would promote energy and transportation policies that would favor and encourage alternatives
and primarily i would discourage the romantacizing and rewarding of aggressiveness
those are really the biggest things right there that would go the furthest to make the world more livable for everybody
and that would be and is my major concern
really i see nothing more important environmental sustainability and the avoidance of causing harm
and there's no idiology, belief or anything else i'd prioritise ahead of that
i'd try to live as modestly as possible within the constraints of security considerations
i wouldn't ride arround in open limos expecting bullets to bounce off like kennidy appearantly did
but i'd try to be accessable, if only on the internet
and i wouldn't impose judgements on other nations based on their idiologies or beliefs either, only on how they treated ALL of their people

If I was President, I would seriously take a long, hard look at the intelligence of whomever elected me.

In all seriousness though, I would basically do everything I have done with my NS country...except with less tax. It's hard to balance that.

hmm...
well, first i'd seize all private enterprise on behalf of the state, and implement soviet style farm collectivisation (minus the neo-feudalism of course) and set up new domestic developements in the space saved from the more efficient farms and the money earnt, fill these developements with locals and immagrants (who will be given practically immediate work permits) and encourage interaction through education and reward programs.
abolish the monarchy (i live in the UK you didn't know), spread some of that stale money around.
pump money out of the armed forces and redistribute it into primarily black-ops, work to remove the idea of traditional 'honourable' warfare and replace it with a force capable of performing surgical strikes against an enemy with minimal casualities.
introduce laws that give the BBC unequaled freedom of journalism, and enforce all religious leaders to be licenced to ensure against dissidence.
internationally, we'll send large amounts of aid and food to third world nations while gradually abducting their populations, project an appearance of honouring international will in organisations such as the UN and the EU whilst spreading and funding revolutionary factions within these countries. specifically france, within two decades it'd be aimed to have been voted over normandy and hence gaining a foot hold in europe.

Hmmm... if I was president.....

First of all, I'd get four little portraits of presidents Washington, Polk, Jackson and McKinley and keep them on my desk (my four favoutire presidents). I'd then periodicaly ask them for advice without actually expecting answers.

I'd try to have Puerto Rico made into a state, as they're getting the benefits so they should start paying real traxes.

I'd re-annex the Panama canal.

I'd make an offer to any smal Central American states to join the US. Expansion is good, and it'd (hopefully) bring up their living standars and get them out of absolute poverty.

I'd make it easier to immigrate to the US form Mexico, but I'd make life harder for any illegal immigrants (eg. no medial treatent or legal protection) who try to by-pass my ingenious immigration plans, and I'd build big concrete wall (16ft by 4ft) along the Mexican border to make it harder for there to be any illegal immigrants.

I'd cancel the third world debt, and re-distribute our international aid: Yemen and Egypt stop getting any unless they make some swift reforms; I'd cut any aid going to un-democratic countries (unless we actually nedd them) and then I'd stop distributing a lot of aid to lots of African countries and just give that amount to two (probably Liberia and the D.R Congo), and Id make sure that we're in charge of what happens to it so it actually does something useful. I would use these two countries for photo-ops and examples of how we're helping the third world when annoyninh hippies ask. When those two counties were fixed up to Eastern Europe level, I'd move on tot he next to (although, that;d probably be the next presidents's job).

I'd say nasty things about China and help Taiwan.

I'd try to do away with so much party politics so we can get back to voting fr the best candidate instead of just for a party.

I'd burn little effigies of British redcoats on the White House Lawn on the 4th of July.

I'd give more funding to ecucation and create some form of a free health service (soz, no tax cuts :D )

I'd get that constitutional same-sex marriage ban bill passed through.

I'd ban abortion (congress and supreme court willing).

I'd make a state vistit to Britain but I think I'll actaully ride in the carriage to B. Palace instead of taking a helicopter.

I'd gradually re-paint the White house a different colur, peice by peice over my presidency (joke! I love white, really :D)

I'd throw darts at a picture of John Kerry

-your future president (and the first Floridian to be so!) :D

When I take control of England. I'll be damn sure to follow my program.

1-Abolish the monarchy. Take all their lands/property and sell it to any country other than America or Paraguay. This excludes Buckingham palace, which will be dealt with in point 4. All members (save Prince Harry) will be forced to live in the USA as novelty celebrities. Just like the Osbournes.

2-Legalise marijuana and put a tax of 50p to the 1/8 of hash and 80p to the 1/8 of skunk.

3-Lower drinking/sex minimum age limits to 15. Condom and alcohol sales will hopefully rise, giving the economy a boost.

4-Ban The National Front and The British National Party. Declare their leaders enemies of the State and whoever brings them to us alive will be awarded a section of Buckingham palace to live in, rent-free.

5-Set the minimum wage at £7 an hour and a maximum wage at £150,000 per year. Anybody earning more than that will have the excess ammount taken and put into the national pension fund.

6-Major social reforms. Strip military budget and place money in pensions and National Insurance. Schools and NHS hospitals to be given more freedom and some to be run by Bourgeoise [sic?] technical experts.

7-Threaten America with nuclear war. Just for fun.

8- Align with the following countries- Cuba, Switzerland and Russia and form the axis of liberals.

9- Allow Wales, Scotland and Ireland their independance, pending plebiscites. Design a new flag for the People's Democracy of England.

10-Declare underwear illegal.

11-Allow abortions and Gay marriages. However, all abortions must have a 3 day waiting list and the father (if known and not a rapist) must be informed. His permission is not needed, however.

Well, that's my plans and, like it or lump it, they're gonna happen.

Ooh....now this is interesting.
I live in the USA, by the way.


I would reduce the size of the government, facilitate the formation of parties, encourage several fair sized parties with ample competition from independents rather than two very similar parties that completely have control...

I would slash defense spending, dismantle/melt/sell old F-16s, F-15s, and other outdated weapons to allies who need it and increase production of F-22s and F-35s and newer age weapons that will increase efficiency with less numbers and less costs overall...decrease the size of the military, increase power and efficiency...

I would privatize education, but on the other hand set federal laws making it compulsory and offering charter schools in the stead of public schools for those unable to attend public schools...

I would privatize healthcare and dismantle welfare, as they are an insensible drain on the government budget and would be much more effectively managed by corporations...

I would spend more in research to increase the effectiveness of our agriculture, science, space technology, et cetera...

I would participate more in international affairs, and loosen the grip of the trigger finger...

I would start a heavy conversion to alternative energy sources - Methane, hydrogen, solar, wind (not very effective), and anything I can find. This would lessen dependency on Middle East oil, lessen our direct military/political pressure there and resulting hatred of the US by them...also better for the environment - ain't that a dandy? A slow and painful process however...

Cut taxes very slowly by virtue of a decreased government; concentrate military more on logistical support, tech, and intel rather than brute force...never in a million years reinstate the draft...begin spending money on cutting the national debt before slashing the taxes...

Have environmental regulations on business and work to make technologies available to them that are both substantially better than the environment and boost efficiency, cutting costs and waste in the long run...

Free the media and make it less centralized...

Restrict what can be depicted on television and in public - think of the children! Decency, people!

Complete separation of Church and State...what's with this 'under God?' that the Supreme Court says every day before session?

In international ventures, work to help the global economy first, our own pockets second - a better global economy promotes peace, prosperity, and helps us.

Try to cut down greatly on nuclear weapons.

Split up Iraq into the three factions it is already defined by...three opposing factions, same country, in borders drawn up by the West after world war II with no consideration for the people living there. What gives?

Probably more, but I'll stop here...have to go. Anywho...more reforms:

-Convert the US to the Metric System

-Change the US National Language to Latin, most virtuous and beautiful of all languages.

As Prime Minister of Australia I would:

1. Secure workers' entitlements through the creation of a government owned trust fund where companies can put money for entitlements into without fear of collapse (as happens when money is dumped on the stock exchange).

2. Address the increasing demand for more water - desalination and piping water from the Ord River (which has enough water to supports millions every year).

3. Abolish foreign aid.

4. Invest in shipbuilding, steel making and defence industries alongside Australian companies to ensure the future of the nation's manufacturing and job security.

5. Phase out thermal power stations and replace them with geothermal stations. There is enough energy stored up under Australia's surface to power the country for 7,500 years. This will cut greenhouse gas emissions by 60% within 20 years. Hydrogen and natural gas powered vehicles would help to cut this further by another 15%.

6. Force all new migrants to live in the interior. Overpopulation of the coastline is unsustainable. To further facilitate growth and connect the interior with the east coast I would work with private firms to build a rail tunnel right through the great diving range (100km tunnel).

7. Restrict immigration to those who can read, write and speak fluent English.

8. Increase immigration by 100,000 people a year. Encourage the birth rate by offering financial incentives to families.

9. Achieve a population of 70 million by 2060.

10. Increase defence spending with the construction of three aircraft carrier groups and fortify northern Australia with a network of missile silos and airforce bases.

11. Send all illegal immigrants packing.

12. Develop a space program by 2050.

13. Annex New Zealand.

14. Bring East Timor and Papua New Guinea under territorial governance.

15. Abolish state governments and local councils. They would be replaced by regional administrations and each state would be administered by a governor who answers directly to the Federal Government.

16. Have the High Court renege on the Mabo Decision of 1992. No more land shall be handed over to "indigenous people". The land belongs to the people of Australia - not one group.

17. Withdraw from the United Nations.

18. Seek to forge a new trading bloc amongst the OECD and create a Commonwealth of Nations trading bloc to secure the future of Western Civilisation.

...I am sure there is other stuff but I can't think of everything right now.

6. Force all new migrants to live in the interior. Overpopulation of the coastline is unsustainable. To further facilitate growth and connect the interior with the east coast I would work with private firms to build a rail tunnel right through the great diving range (100km tunnel).

7. Restrict immigration to those who can read, write and speak fluent English.

8. Increase immigration by 100,000 people a year. Encourage the birth rate by offering financial incentives to families.

9. Achieve a population of 70 million by 2060.

10. Increase defence spending with the construction of three aircraft carrier groups and fortify northern Australia with a network of missile silos and airforce bases.

11. Send all illegal immigrants packing.

12. Develop a space program by 2050.

13. Annex New Zealand.

14. Bring East Timor and Papua New Guinea under territorial governance.

15. Abolish state governments and local councils. They would be replaced by regional administrations and each state would be administered by a governor who answers directly to the Federal Government.

16. Have the High Court renege on the Mabo Decision of 1992. No more land shall be handed over to "indigenous people". The land belongs to the people of Australia - not one group.

17. Withdraw from the United Nations.

18. Seek to forge a new trading bloc amongst the OECD and create a Commonwealth of Nations trading bloc to secure the future of Western Civilisation.

...I am sure there is other stuff but I can't think of everything right now.
someone who actually cares about the N.T!

You bet I do! The Northern Territory must be built on and secured if we are to protect our nation from agression. There is plenty of water and land to increase the population.

In the 1960's the government (under Holt) had a plan to fortify the north with giant missile silos (nuclear - although I prefer conventional) but the program was stopped after Holt "disappeared" :shock:

I believe Australia should protect itself from hostile nations and that the Northern Territory is crucial to this plan. That, and there is no reason as to why we shouldn't build it up...

After all, it is a quick route to take exports to Asia.

As British PM I would do the following:

1. Ban Democracy. Why trust the people to vote for the right person? They proved they are stupid by voting in New Labour. Democracy is a failure anyway.

2. Privatise the NHS. Why should my taxes go towards paying for treatment for a bunch of malingering social parasites.

3. Scrap Benefits totally. Make people go out and work for a living. And if you cant then see No 4.

4. Legalise Euthanasia & Capital Punishment. We have far too many people as it is, why hold on to the ones who want to die and those who we don't want to live. (EDIT - Better that one innocent person should die than 99 guilty go free, so scrap appeals etc and make death sentances be carried out within 24 hours)

5. Withdraw from the EU, UN, Commonwealth and all others.

6. Abolish the Monarchy and seize back royal property that they stole off the people in the first place.

7. Abolish the United Kingdoms. Instead of 4 countries, make it one, Britain! No more Scotland, England, Wales or Northern Ireland, just one country.

And if that isn't a recipe for a civil war I don't know what is! Would have lots of factions, My lot (who I will call the Sensible Ones) versus Europeans, Royalists, Socialists, Democrats, Nationalists etc.

Why not start today and Vote for Jeem.

Long Live the Tyrant of Jeem.
:twisted:

Nice one. :)
