Democracy has obviously failed us.

This is why I suggest we (the U.S.) appoint a good king with a sense of theology and geometry.

For too long the degenerates of this nation have been ruling us through this perverse system of mob rule that we call "democracy." For far too long we have been trapped in a downward spiral. (May fortuna have mercy on us!) We must facilitate our upward spiral by nominating a king!

Take ours, please! We're not using him, anyway. We'll throw in our slutty princess to sweeten the deal:

No one should be allowed to hold public office unless they hold a masters degree in a physical science or related field. (Sorry dudes with things that end in -ology that rules you out, but hey, better safe than sorry).

Fantastic! Rather than a moron staying in office for 4-8 years, they can stay in office for as long as they see fit! And then elect their retarded siblings so we're PERMANTLY trapped with idiots in charge. Bush family I'm looking at you.

He only said we call it republic, and that democracy has failed us. Nothing saying we are/were a democracy.

Nothing, I wasn't aware that you could do a masters degree in it.

I am just trying to streamline the application process in any case. There are some -ologies that would get through probably, but if I am going to have arbitrary rules, I want to be able to enforce them without much effort. So I am sorry, the ologies stay out.

According to you we americans can't tell between an aristocrat and a buffon. Although in this country they're closer than anyone would like to believe.

Anyway since you're such a revolutionary intellectual, who would you appoint king?

Man, that would be sweet if you guys were run by a physicist. It would make me happy to live just north of your borders. :)

Perhaps NASA would get some better funding and some new exciting research could get started. Imagine the possiblities.

Can I believe my ears? Am I to sit here and take this abuse! I'll have you know sir that my valve cannot handle this kind of thing! But if you really must know who I would appoint king I'm sorry to have to tell you that no one alive at this moment would be fit for the position. All the prospective candidates are all long dead.

Well, as long as we're nominating someone to be ruler for life, we may as well be as superficial about this is possible. So, everyone, take off your clothes. The one with the nicest body wins.

Dakini, I can see it now. King Bob DePhysicists, talking to a General from the Pentagon.

KING: I hear your physicist at the Nuclear Weapons Testing Center in Nevada need more money.
GENERAL: They sure as hell do. They haven't been able to get anything done with the current budget.
KING: I'll throw in an another 10 billion on top of what they are getting now. I can't stand to see my fellow physicist without the proper funding they so well deserve General.
GENERAL: Well thanks, it's nice to have a King, that funds the governments projects, instead of the tight assed President, and Congress we used to have.

Austrailians are automatically disqualified. I only wish for people from the mother country to apply. (Britainia) The commonwealths sadly, do not count.

I suppose if we aren't going to have a beauty contest, the ruler could always be decided by a giant duel. Give each participant a bazooka and see who lives. Or perhaps a dueling tournament would be better?

Africans didn't send colonists to America did they? I appreciate your sarcasm but I'm afraid it has fallen on deaf ears.

Normally I'd write up a lengthy response about why America does not need a monarch, but this argument has been fought so many times, what is the point? Besides, the American people shall likely never go for this strongly enough to make it happen.

Oh, thats sarcasm again.

You do realize it is impossible to "hear" words that are typed on a computer unless someone is reading it to me? If English is not your native tongue then I suppose I could forgive you for not being familiar with our mannerisms.

That's why it's called sarcasm. I understand very well that you can't "hear" words on a computer monitor, good lord man.

Maybe you're not aware of this but sarcasm does not lend itself well to the written word.

In an informal thread it does. Where as in a formal thread it must be presented as an OOC remark and even then it's frowned upon. It's called Netiquette.

When you say "OOC" I must assume that you are referring to, "Out of Character" which is only used in the roleplaying forums. In case you weren't aware this is not a role playing forum, and we aren't role playing either. And by "Netiquette" I assume you are referring to the Etiquette of role playing.

Most certainly not.

Thank heavens for restraint. Anyway this sure as hell isn't a formal thread because the main topic "Does America need a King?" hasn't been brought back up in pages. Actually Netiquette refers to the etiquette used in E-mails, forums, and other internet mediums.

Oh great, then we're going to have Sauron as Prime Minister, a privy council full of orcs, and a high court made up of balrogs... come to think of it, it's not too different from now.

1. Your a fool. I'd use worse terminology, but that is basicly what you are without resorting to more detailed facts.

2. The US is a REPUBLIC. It is NOT a democracy. It CAN be called a representative democracy, but it is not a real democracy.

3. The democratic elements have not failed us, YOU and the rest of the apethetic loser citizens have failed the democratic elements and the whole republic system in general.

What do you do to involve yourself in the system? Give examples. Otherwise, your just bitching without even attempting to do something as radical as writing to your representatives, and organizing a reform movement, and supporting pre-existing reform movements. Have you done anything like involving yourself in organizations to petition legislatures against fuckers like Tom Delay? WHAT? I didn't think so.

4. Your in the wrong country you butt kissing monarchy subject. Take your ring kissing royal ideas to europe where that type of crap is tolerated.
