Now, I know eveyone has fantasised about being the president. What kind of president would you be? What would be your stances? What issues would you tackle and how? I know I've thought about it. Even if you're not an American, you must've thought about it, secretly...

If I was president...I would nationalize several key industries, crack down on trusts and increase corporate and oil company taxes while cutting down on their tax breaks. I would work to reduce crime and drugs on the streets. Be a little more open minded towards the immigrants. I would gradually faze troops out of Iraq while seeking help from the UN. I would REALLY persue alternative fuel sources to cut our dependence on foreign oil. FEMA needs an overhaul. Something has to be done with the corruption and Social Security needs to be reformed and...I would outlaw France :D

i'd thank god it was a democratic president! :p

i'd probably enact some central-left socialist legislation, including (gasp) raising taxes to fund them.

and try to balance the budget.

I'd be the best president ever.

Nothing Congress would never let me do what I want.

Four words (even in my sig): What Would Reagan Do?

Nuke the Soviet Union

Instead of spendin billions on the war
I can use that money
So I can feed the poor
Cuz I know some so poor
When it rains that's when dey shower
Screamin fight the power
That's when the vulture devours

If I was president
I'd get elected on Friday
Assassinated on Saturday
Buried on Sunday

Abolish democracy, annex every other country in the world, and become the supreme dictatress of the world. :D

If I where president I would surrender the country to Canada.

If I were president of Australia, then I must have taken the country by coup seeing we don't have a president. That's fine, though, the first thing I would do is put through an act stating that my title is henceforth 'El Presidente' or 'Grand Commissar'. The next thing I would do is set about a national campaign of ethnic hygeine, 'erasing' all christians from the registry. Having done that service to society, I would then set a 10 year goal to double the population of Australia with skilled immigrants. I would ask America if I could 'borrow' some nukes, and annex New Zealand and oceania. The economy would take a hit from absorbing these weaker nations, but I have a plan. Through sheer economic brilliance, I would patch these backwater island republics into wealthy, profitable sub nations, at which point they would join the Allied states of Greater Pacific Nations. Using oceania, I make a pitch to all of the developing nations to take them on one by one and fix their shit in return for membership. Eventually, Every asian country south of China would then be GPN. Then I would build something huge. I could then move on to the middle east, and afica, then south america. Speaking of, Americans probably wouldn't fre to well under my regime...

Damn you, you maple sucker!! :upyours:

Oh yeah, I would also impliment the free healthcare. Being called El Presidente does sound alot better than The President...it sounds sexier too!

Abolish democracy, annex every other country in the world, and become the supreme dictatress of the world. :D

after you have canada invade the us right? :p

Can't I just be the President's kid and be spoiled rotton and drink like the Kennedy's were pussies?

If I where president I would surrender the country to Canada.

Abolish democracy, annex every other country in the world, and become the supreme dictatress of the world. :D

Sounds.. kinky.

(and Ruffy beat me! Curses!)

Sounds kinky.


(and Ruffy beat me! Curses!)
HAH!

*smiles*

I would allow government grants be alotted to people for research on procrastination...if there are no results, then it's the taxpayers' money well spent.

HAH!

*smiles*

:p I still have my own plans...Starting with Antartica.

Nuke the Soviet Union.

You're a little late.

It was in response to someone saying "What woul Reagan do?"

:p I still have my own plans...Starting with Antartica.
Those poor penguins.

:(

I'd nationalize the economy, hand over the state and the economy to democratic decentralized worker's councils, and then resign.

Edit: Forgot to mention foreign policy. I'd withdraw from Iraq, apologize to the world for the countless atrocities the US has committed, and work to democratize the global economy by putting its major institutions in the hands of the workers and the peasants of the world.

Those poor penguins.

:(

No silly, I'm going to lead a penguin army! Then take up occupation elsewhere...Antartic Imperialism!

I would give Pennsylvania the title of "Greatest State Ever". And I would scorn Utah.

Women can't rule :D
:eek: May I remind you two of the greatest British rulers were Elizabeth I and Queen Victoria? Guess which gender they are.

No silly, I'm going to lead a penguin army! Then take up occupation elsewhere...Antartic Imperialism!

Of course. I promised, didn't I? :D

Nah, Dictatress sounds so much better.

Don't forget me! Tactics guy? Remember? ^_^

Abolish democracy, annex every other country in the world, and become the supreme dictatress of the world. :D

I wouldn't mind being subjucated by you :)

I like this idea!

Antartica's empire will be cooler (no pun intended).

Of course. I promised, didn't I? :D
yay!

:eek: May I remind you two of the greatest British rulers were Elizabeth I and Queen Victoria? Guess which gender they are.
Makes good TV too..

Oh, and Margaret Thatcher!

Don't forget me! Tactics guy? Remember? ^_^

Uh oh...I sense this turning into Choose Wisely, part two...

I would give Pennsylvania the title of "Greatest State Ever". And I would scorn Utah.
Yeah!

Antartica's empire will be cooler (no pun intended).

what will you do when global warming melts all the ice??

Uh oh...I sense this turning into Choose Wisely, part two...

Nah...This is focusing on one topic that we happened to cover on Choose Wisely and is on-topic in this thread...As long as we don't...migrate.

what will you do when global warming melts all the ice??

Antarctica has land underneath the ice. The Arctic is an ocean.

what will you do when global warming melts all the ice??

There's still land under Antartica you know. Also, mass laser cooling.

Good luck with that.

riight. Back on topic. If I was president of Canada, besides the fact that we have a prime minister, not president, I would increase spending on health care, child care, and education, abolish the Senate, let the Quebecois leave if they really want to, and legalize marijuana.

I think so..

You might be thinking Iceland you know...

I would banish Dick Cheney to the cold recesses of space

Now, I know eveyone has fantasised about being the president. What kind of president would you be? What would be your stances? What issues would you tackle and how? I know I've thought about it. Even if you're not an American, you must've thought about it, secretly...

As president of the United States I would pull my troops out of Iraq. I heard a recent quote noting that the US is paying $811 billion a year to fight the war in there. The war was foolish to begin with and now on top of the poor economy this situation is making it worse. Yes, you have a problem with terrorists however this war is not going to be won quickly, and America does not have the debt capacity to be able to fight it without suffering damage at home. One only need look at the collapse of the USSR economic system to see what a long war in Afghanistan, coupled with massive spending on arms and space did for their great economic system. :P

I would also try and pay down the debt which is now in the trillion of dollars.

Also would try and move the UN on doing something substantive in relation to Iran instead of acting like the League of Nations did prior to World War 2. IF the UN failed to do anything substantive then would focus on the best way of dealing with Iran (note this would be done before (or possible in relation to?) the Iraq troop pull out)...

You might be thinking Iceland you know...
Although Antarctica is home to many volcanoes, only Deception Island and Mt. Erebus are active. Mount Erebus, located in Ross Island, is the southernmost active volcano. Minor eruptions are frequent and lava flow has been observed in recent years. Other dormant volcanoes may potentially be active.[14] In 2004, an underwater volcano was found in the Antarctic Peninsula by American and Canadian researchers. Recent evidence shows this unnamed volcano may be active.
:p

:p

I said might. :p

Calling them "Happy Camps" would horrify the emo fags

I would grow an imposing beard which would symbolize my foreign policy.

I'd nationalize the economy, hand over the state and the economy to democratic decentralized worker's councils, and then resign.

Edit: Forgot to mention foreign policy. I'd withdraw from Iraq, apologize to the world for the countless atrocities the US has committed, and work to democratize the global economy by putting its major institutions in the hands of the workers and the peasants of the world.

Have fun watching your economy spiral downard into total collapse.

Nuke the Soviet Union

A wise choice

I'd conquer the Earth and enslave humanity :headbang:

I'd nuke Israel.

Then I'd have an affair, so that everyone would forget I nuked Israel.

I would nationalize the electric, water, internet and satalite TV industries. I would then move the capitol to New Westminister and ignore the east and see how they like it (the atlantice provinces would recieve some attention). I would have the core of our military turned into a fairly kick-ass defense-only squad, with smaller squads also trained to do humanitarian missions. They would be deployed to try and break up some of the civil-wars going on. I would also have our top soldiers trained to be stealthy neo-ninjas. They would be trainned to invade Russia and kidnap some of the smarter people and relocate them in Canada (alot of them will be moved to my northern cities/communities). I would also try to arrange with China that a families second+ child could be relocated to Canada, in order to ease their population burden of course (ristribute them in a similar fashion to the Russians). I would also throught a ton of money at stem cell reaserch, cloning, genetic modification.

Have fun watching your economy spiral downard into total collapse.

Yes, democracy is a scary ideology, isn't it?

I would:

1. Abolish all Cabinet departments except State, Treasury, and Defense. The Department of Defense would be divided into the Departments of War and Navy.
2. All U.S. troops would be immediately returned from abroad, including from Iraq and Afghanistan. All our foreign bases would be permanently abandoned.
3. The Federal Reserve would be abolished.
4. The income tax, property tax, and most other forms of taxation would be abolished.
5. All gun control laws would be scrapped.
6. The gold standard would be brought back.
7. All subsidies to businesses, farmers, etc. would be abolished. All protectionist laws and tariffs would be abolished.
8. All business regulations, minimum wage laws, and all other socialistic laws would be abolished.
9. The FCC would be abolished.
10. All soft drugs would be legalized.
11. The government would be highly decentralized. States would be able to adopt almost any policies they wanted, provided that said policies didn't violate civil rights. I.e., if a state wanted to adopt a segregation law, that would be prohibited.
12. All illegal immigrants would be returned to their home countries. Border controls would be strengthened significantly.
13. The salaries of all members of the Federal government, from the President down, would be slashed significantly.
14. Government spending would be reduced to an absolute minimum, and the only things the government spent on would be defense, border control, and internal security.
15. Social Security, healthcare, and education would be either privatized or turned over to the individual states.
16. The 16th Amendment (direct election of Senators) would be repealed.
17. Guam, Puerto Rico, etc. would be allowed to hold referendums to decide if they wanted independence.
18. All foreign aid would be ended, except to Liberia and the Philippines. Only humanitarian aid would be sent, and would be closely monitored to minimize the risk of it being abused.
19. The federal government would be completely seculiarized.
20. The duopoly of power held by the two main parties would be broken.
21. States and local governments would be allowed to decide their own economic policies.
22. Diplomatic relations with all hostile countries would be severed.
23. George W. Bush and his administration would be tried for war crimes.
24. Corruption in government would be a capital crime.

More to be added when I think of it.

Yes, democracy is a scary ideology, isn't it?

No, but the idea of living in a basket case Third World country is.

I would move the capital to Harrisburg :D

If I were President, I'd manipulate the extreme right-wing into attempting to stage a coup d'etat, which I would then crush most thoroughly... thus providing relief for countless millions in the US and abroad.

But I'm not, won't, can't and couldn't anyway, so lighten up Corneliu and Eutrusca and Whittier and friends.

No, but the idea of living in a basket case Third World country is.

Which I did not advocate.

I would also abolish the Republican Party. Which would give other parties a chance to step up.

Which I did not advocate.

Your economic policies would lead to it, though.

Your economic policies would lead to it, though.

By giving people control over the economy?

Now, I know eveyone has fantasised about being the president. What kind of president would you be? What would be your stances? What issues would you tackle and how? I know I've thought about it. Even if you're not an American, you must've thought about it, secretly...
Social equality for all! I will throw down the Presidency, pick up a pick-axe, and work side-by-side with my brothers!

Social equality for all! I will throw down the Presidency, pick up a pick-axe, and work side-by-side with my brothers!

...Somehow...I highly doubt that.

I would smoke cigars, drink cristal, and spit at hoboes...or get people to spit at hoboes for me.

First, I would institute a policy of total honesty in the government, except for matters of national security.

In Iraq, I would increase efforts to get Iraqi insurgents to fight Al-Qaeda instead of us. After Al-Qaeda is gone, I would set up a truce period, similar to Israeli-Palestinian truces. During that truce, all US forces save a few to train the Iraqis would withdraw. Once the US is for all intents and purposes out of Iraq, the insurgents will put down their guns.

6 months later, after all the troops have had time to recuperate, I would begin preparations to send US troops into Darfur with orders to destroy the Janjaweed. If the Sudanese even THINK about interfering, then institute regime change in Khartoum.

I would also order a new tax code to be drafted. Regulations for said tax code:
Revenue neutral
Understandable by average American (I will select the judge)
Word limit of 1000 (STRICTLY ENFORCED)
With fewer loopholes to watch out for, I should be able to cut the IRS in half, thus saving a lot of money.

I would also create a blog where I will explain all my policy decisions in everyday terms.

All government personnel will be selected on the basis of capability of doing the job, and honesty. My Secretary of Defense will likely be a general. My Secretary of State will be the offspring of Condi and Powell. My Secretary of Education will be an awesome schoolteacher or professor. My ambassador to troublemaking countries will be Arnold Schwarzenegger (complete with jacket, glasses, and shotgun).

I will make most of my public speeches sans tie and jacket (I will start in my campaign, so people should be used to in). I will NEVER learn politico-speech (though my Chief of Staff will be well versed in it), so the average American citizen will be able to understand me.

If I were president, I would...

*Put a cap on military spending
*Strive for social reform (gay marriage, immigration rights, etc)
*Define a CLEAR line between church and state
*See to it that special interests and lobbyists are limitted
*Education reform (Higher salaries, better education)
*Socialized healthcare
*Zero tolerance for human rights violations
*Dissolution and restructuring of FCC, FEMA and BATF
*Hold companies accountable

In addition, I would insitute a casual and liberal dress code for the White House, and I would request that people call me by my first name rather than Mr. President. I am just a man, there is no need to put me on a pedastal.

With all these reforms in mind...I probably have about two years before I am capped during my State of the Union by some Aryan Nation psycho with a gun.

I would have then call me "Senor Presidente".

So nobody objects to my platform? Perhaps I should run on it....

I would also abolish the Republican Party. Which would give other parties a chance to step up.

Erm...I don't think that's legal, champ.

You're the president, not the Grand Poobah.

I'm Senor Presidente, I can do anything I want

I'm Senor Presidente, I can do anything I want

You said "President", not dictator. There is a difference, you know.

if I were President... Duly elected by the people.. I would...

immediatly buy an island in the middle of the Pacific.

Step down as President.

Move there and weep for the people who were stupid enough to vote me in.

thats probably the best idea yet...

I would do my best to creat an era of economic growth, reform education by centralizing its funding, increase taxes, increase the earned income tax credit, search for better energy alternatives, create an defacto American Empire.

if I were President... Duly elected by the people.. I would...

If by weep you mean dance in euphoria and laugh at the misery of your country, I suppose it could work. :D

STOP ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS. INVADE ALL CRAZY TERRORST BACKWARD COUNTRIES. LEGALIZE POT (for a price the goverment sells it heh, heh, heh...) WOULD NOT ACCEPT HARDLY ANY PAY, JUST A MODEST LITTLE COTTAGE AND FOOD. Now who would vote for me?

If by weep you mean dance in euphoria and laugh at the misery of your country, I suppose it could work. :D

Okay, that leaves laughing hysterically at your fellow countrymen's misery. Better get laughing, buddy.

Another title I will take shall be "The Dude"

Assuming Congress would let me:

The first thing I would do is pull the troops out of Iraq and balance the budget mostly through military cuts and eliminating agricultural and corporate subsidies and ending the current tax cuts. Then I would begin a program to slowly role back welfare payments and use the extra excess cash to pay for civic urban projects that primarily employ those currently receiving welfare. Eventually, only the disabled and single mothers will be able to receive welfare without working at least for the state. I would simultaneously remove any and all trade barriers with any other nation willing to do the same. I would then utilize the booming economy to make sure every American is fully insured through private companies.

Social policy would include the following, open border, legalized gay marriage, legalized prostitution, all substances legalized for personal use in the privacy of your own home, the pardoning of all in jail for pure drug charges and the granting of amnesty to all illegal immigrants.

on a more serious note tho.

I would close the borders, legalize all immigrants already in the nation but anyone else sneaking in would be shot as spies. anyone helping them would also be shot as aiding foreign powers, their posessions would then be confiscated and turned over to the government for redistribution. there are proper ways to enter this country and people should be encouraged to use them.

current drug laws would still be effect but with the following changes. all fines and penalties would be increased to a 100% loss of the perp's possessions or a fine of $500,000 (which ever is greater) with the funds going to the national treasury to be redistributed to worthy causes as well as Jail Time. the only excemption would be if the guilty turns in evidence that leads to the arrest and conviction of dealers/suppliers/pushers, then they only loose only 50% of their total wealth or be fined only $250,000. if the guilty person is a minor, then the punnishment would be rendered to the parents, (unless the parents are also guilty)

Also if information turned in voluntarily (as in the person giving that information is not under arrest or currently incarcerated) and it leads to a successfull arrest and indictment of said pusher. then the informant would recieve a percentage of the Dealer's wealth (including the street value of the drugs siezed) and one "get out of jail free card"

the only exception is for Medical Use only. Abuse of the Medical Use Only clause will cause the revocation of the user's right to those drugs and he/she will be punnished to the full extent of the law.

this purpose is to make the pushers/dealers/suppliers worth more to the person turning them in than the wealth of their dealings. any wealth turned into the government will then be redrected for constructive uses.

Prostitution and Gambling will be leagalized. Regulations would be created to insure the health and safety of all invovlved. including a licence system where anyone pandering or Gambling w/o a licence would face stiff (pardon the pun) penalties.

Those who find themselves addicted to either activity will be encouraged to seek professional help.

Abortion/same sex marriage/death penalty rulings will be up to each State. However, rulings from one State will not be "Automatically" accepted by another State if that State chooses not to. I would fight not to have Same-Sex Marriage recongized Federally, but would insure that Social Contracts would be given the same weight in the eyes of the law. (there is a purpose to this folks.)

with these changes, there will be a need to increase police and other security/government posistions. thus increasing job potentials. by collaborating with many charity firms as well as organizations of both profit and non profit causes, the homeless, unemployed and poverty stricken will be trained and thus aquire a job, an income and a sense of self worth.

anyone found guilty of treason/espianoge/spying for a foreign power (outside of those trying to sneak into this country) will (after due process) loose all their posessions, have their citizenship revoked and be deported to the country they were spying for.

Firms will be encouraged to hire domescially before outsourcing to other countries. (tax break maybe?) this is to insure more jobs for our people.

Media Outlets would be held more accountable for the stories they print. While the public has a right to know, anyone involved in a crime has the right to be tried by a jury of their peers, not by the media. any News articles that compromise anyone's right to a Fair, Just and Impartial trial will be heavily (and I do Mean HEAVILY) fined. the same goes for the releasing of any sensitive information that may compromise the safety of our citizens and the citizens of our allies abroad.

there will be a new department formed to handle the media. This department will be encouraged to be open (up to the point of state/government secrets) and honest with their dealings with the media.

with the increase of revenue due to a healthy (or growing healty) workforce, and stiffer penalties, taxes can be lowered, more funding spent on education and finding alternative fuel sources.

nobody would vote for me to be the president, I doubt I would make it half way through the election season without pissing off the entire country for one reason or another, in fact when my husband runs for office in the next year or two, it's going to be very difficult but almost mandatory for me to keep my mouth shut.

Assuming Congress would let me:

America has always progressed towards greater social liberty and tolerance.

Does it bother anyone else that Karl Rove has to look so much like that insidious bastard from Raiders of the Lost Ark? :mad:

Another title I will take shall be "The Dude"

Could I beat you up and pee on the White House Rug then, Mr. President?

I would:

8. All business regulations, minimum wage laws, and all other socialistic laws would be abolished.

if a state wanted to adopt a segregation law, that would be prohibited.

12. All illegal immigrants would be returned to their home countries. Border controls would be strengthened significantly.

24. Corruption in government would be a capital crime.

More to be added when I think of it.

These are the only things I disagree with in your platform. Of course just the President couldn't have all these things done, but this seems to be more of a "How would the US run if you had complete control" thread than anything else at this point.

You're obviously a libertarian so bravo on wanting to allow each state to run their own economic policies.

I disagree with #1 mainly because I'm afraid that if there weren't some sort of bare Federal minimum we'd see corporations playing the states off of each other in a race to the bottom.

I think segregation would be a violation of civil rights.

I think a combination of increased border security with an amnesty program would be much more successful and fair.

I disagree with the death penalty, largely because I don't trust the government to do it properly. I would love to see harsh laws against corruption, though.

Does it bother anyone else that Karl Rove has to look so much like that insidious bastard from Raiders of the Lost Ark? :mad:

Now now, Paul Freeman is a hell of a lot better looking than that pudgy Turd Blossom Rove.

And doing a Power Rangers movie still pales in comparison to putting Shrub into office on the scale of crimes against nature.

I suppose you're right. The fella was able to walk away from make-up.

No coincidence, i guess given Rove's heritage.

Ya sound like a real go-getter.
So what's your position on term limits and/or the 22nd Amendment? ;)

:eek: May I remind you two of the greatest British rulers were Elizabeth I and Queen Victoria? Guess which gender they are.
*claps* YAY! I would probably outlaw sexism. *cough* *cough* KULIKOVO *cough* *cough* Anyway, I would reduce crime and drugs and *hopefully* racism, homophobia, etc. Yeah.. that's about it...

I'd shift America's political spectrum from deep blue to light blue. I'd continue to support the efforts to Iraq, because they deserve to have their country fixed up. I'd pay off debts, leave Iran alone, and support Taiwan. I want the Clinton days back.

That was Ronald Lacey. And just because he played a Gestapo in a movie you don't have to stoop so low as to compare him to Turd Blossom either :p
Oh come on, i'm talking 'bout the visage and character Lacey played.
I don't seriously believe, for example, that John Billingsley really has to shave his tongue on a regular basis.

EDIT: Although, i gotta admit, Ronnie does have a pretty infectious chortle. And scream (that whole part on the island).

Oh, and Margaret Thatcher!
Naked on a cold day.

Naked on a cold day.:eek:

I would promise to be in the office all day doing my job....and the interns.

If I was president, I'd be elected on Friday - assassinated on Saturday - buried on Sunday.
Solomon Grundy, born on a Monday!


If I were president (and by president I mean dictator), I would eliminate our reliance on artificially cheap, quasi-slave labor (child labor in the third world, itinerant laborers who have no legal protections, etc.); I would eliminate welfare except for those who simply cannot work and enforce full employment on the market; I would reduce our dependence on oil and push for viable alternative fuel solutions; I would no longer maintain an invasive military (which means drawing down our troops from their foreign engagements, except for people who would stay on to set up local law enforcement), but I would keep the navy strong so as to keep ports and shipping routes secure; and I would have the national government remain neutral/uninvolved in domestic social policy apart from securing civil rights/protection under the law and the funding of education and health services.

And most importantly I would divert tax dollars into the secret Human Instrumentality Project that will cleanse humanity of its subjectivity by freeing all spirits from their bodies and uniting them in a collective World-Spirit. ;)

I would invade Ira....ahhh never mind

Cigar, mon capitan?

If I were president I would delegate my powers, act very kind/caring/funny/intelligent on tv, and spend the rest of the time pimping the White House. I think the Oval Office would make a great movie room. And the color white for the White House? Very un-creative. I'm thinking Black and Orange Pin-stripes.

I would first make NZ a republic...

Then I would destroy all departments except:

The Ministry of Peace
the Ministry of Love
The Ministry of Truth

I would then change the nations motto to

Freedom is slavery
Peace is war
Ignorance is strength

:D

1. I would abolish income tax, and apply Use Tax across the board for all services.

2. Keep abortion legal

3. Privatize and regionalize Amtrak. Compared to Japan, Germany, and France, our passenger trains are clunky choo choos.

4. Nationalize the OIL companies and open up to foreign competition.

5. Socialize welfare and medical care. Destroy the Insurance and Pharmaceutical lobbies.

6. Decriminalize Marijuana and legalize prostitution, but tax and control through thorough health monitoring.

7. Repeal tax excempt status of ALL religious organizations. The government shall not support or endorse ANY religious organization.

8. No more government bail outs for the Airline industry. If you run out of money, you go out of business or are merged with other carriers. Too bad, so sad. No more prizes for bad management.

9. Repeal the Patriot Act, and cut military spending by 25%.

10. Set STRICT term limits of 10 years for ALL senators, governors, and representatives. No more career politicians.

11. Enact a MULTI PARTY SYSTEM. No more Republicans and Democrats bickering over control.

12. Abolish the Electoral College system. Majority vote wins.

13. Pull out of the Middle East for good, fuck you Israel, you're on your own.

14. Remove embargo against Cuba and flood the island with dollars, tourists, information and technology. That is the poison that will destroy Castro. Eventually, the Carribean will be the next 51st state.

15. Repeal the Second Amendment. All private gun ownership shall be illegal.

Let the civil war begin....:cool:

the disturbing thing is, our government seems to be trying to do that anyway.. except the ministerys are "the ministry of screwing things up, the ministry of blameing the other guy, and the ministry of paying ourselves well" note: i don't just mean the current labour government, i mean the vast majority of the system.

i don't see why anyone would want NZ to be a republic. especially given the systems tendency to write the treaty of waitangi into everything. without a monarchy, that treaty becomes meaningless... half the system falls apart. it really doesn't matter if the monarchy does anything or not, but without them existing, NZ as a nation no longer has any legal right to exist. it's slightly disturbing.

then agian, according to treatys and stuff, each Maori tribal cheif is effectivly a duke or earl, and the tribes lands a duchy/earldom. no one ever got around to actually entrenching that in the system, but that's what it effectivly says.

anyway, you'd have to somehow make NZ a republic BEFORE becomeing presedent, not after. otherwise you'd be prime-minister or governer general and, at least in theory, get chucked out by the monarch/GG/voters at the earliest opertunity if you started trying that plan.

umm.. yeah. that's all :)

Yes, democracy is a scary ideology, isn't it?

Yes, it is.

James Madison once said, "Democracies have ever been spectacles of turbulence and contention; have ever been found incompatible with personal security or the rights of property, and have in general been as short in their lives as they have been violent in their deaths."

Democracy leads to ochlocracy which leads to anarchy which leads to chaos.

By giving people control over the economy?

By nationalizing everything. You'd soon be confronted with hyperinflation, shortages, huge unemployment, and worse.

If I were President, there'd be a draft faster than you'd think, with mandatory military service tied in with voting rights.

Now, I know eveyone has fantasised about being the president. What kind of president would you be? What would be your stances? What issues would you tackle and how? I know I've thought about it. Even if you're not an American, you must've thought about it, secretly...

I would award the Presidential Medal of Freedom to Amy Fisher, Kevin Federline, Guy Richie, Vondie Curtis-Hall, Charles Manson, and Ben Aflek and J. Lo. Those last two would have to share because they were only a national embarrassment together.

I would then come up with a new Medal that actually means something and award it to all Presidential Medal of Freedom winners from before Bush took office, and check to see if he might have accidentally awarded one to someone who actually deserved it.

If you’re husband stands against any of those things then history is against him.
America has always progressed towards greater social liberty and tolerance.
ah, but our voting base is for us. It's much more important than history in an election LOL

if someone around here running for office said "I want free and open borders, abortions on demand, and socialized healthcare" they would be laughed off the platform, and then possibly shot.

The Jimi Hendrix version will become the official national anthem.

If I were President, there'd be a draft faster than you'd think, with mandatory military service tied in with voting rights.
Would that be for sake of CFR "police actions/foreign interest interventions" :rolleyes:
or actual defense of the homeland ... resulting in earned citizenship ("Catsh*t Scoopers")
