Offical Forum?

So, I was thinking as I read and posted on another forum. As I was thinking I came up with a novel idea, what if we had an official forum?
As was stated in 1 of the threads, many towns are already set up like this (with real forums known as Town Hall Meetings) and wouldn't work beyond the local level.
What I'm proposing is that we don't bite off more then we can chew, but at the same time not stay local (as this would make the point of my proposed experiment moot) but rather localize the effect of the laws spawned by the forum not to a local area and not to a diverse area, but to a regional area like Florida. (I'm Floridian and am only using my state as an example.) If it works it would be copied by other states like the Amber Alert and Adopt a Road programs were leading to the government nationalizing the program leading to a forum with a nation wide effect. If it still worked beyond the region level other nations would copy it until organizations like the EU, NAFTA and UN copied the idea.
This would lead to an effective direct democracy (I'm going back to America now) without destroying the Republican (government type, not party) government.
Now I know this needs work, but I remind everyone that this post is just a topic starter. Please vote and post.

Dude, I don't know what your problem is, but we do not need a scat forum here.

Dude, did you read the post? I'm not advertising the forum, it doesn't even exist yet! I'ts an idea that would alow you, the common man, to make the laws. When I say offical, I mean offical!

Dude, you actually trust the common man to make good laws.

Remember, these are the same people that voted in George W. Bush not once, but twice.

You do relize that the evedence points to fraud, right?

Besides, that same garbage is how the founding fathers let Bush win in the 1st place. The EC needs to go.
As for your question, yes I do trust them for who was GW but a cooman man? Who was Abe but a common man?

I don't know about that. A scat forum could be entertaining, in a sick and twisted sort of way.

Anyway, back on topic? How do you think this could and should work if implimented?

I thought offal was the parts of the animal you don't usually eat, like everything you find in scrapple.

Seeing as "offical" is not a word, no you didn't.

Dude, he means "offal", you mean "official" :p

Almost. Potarius meant "fecal".

And Zogia, it might help if you clarified what you are talking about. I had to read it twice before I figured out you were talking about a national political forum for the US instead of making some sort of confused proposal for an (already extant, hence confusing) "official" NS forum. And correct spelling is your friend, as it prevents confusion over whether you meant "official", "offal", or "fecal" forum

You'll find that my position on spelling is that if you can read it at some point in time, it's spelled right. (Unless it's importent.)

Mmmm... scrapple.

Anyway, what do you think? I'm of the opinion that the people know what laws are good for them rather then a buch a fat cats that live 1/2 way around the world from them.

Maybe the cats are fat because they eat so much scrapple. It can't be very healthy for them. *nod*

I am of the opinion that no matter how hard you try, you can't make a good set of laws. But that the people do probably know what they want more than those fatcats.

And that's exactly what your first problem from post 2 was - your spelling caused confusion as to what you meant.

(And LG - I am convinced scrapple must be healthy.)

If the people already know what's good for them, why have any laws at all?
