Sort out the mess that is the NHS (National Health Service) so my mum doesn't die of stress. Make it so people who fail thier *insert your equivelent of exams taken at age 16* are shot, to help save the world's resources for more capable people. Eugenics FTW.
Make a lot of gigantic paper boats and sail some people down the Clyde until it sinks.

I'd be the President to veto the most bills. I wouldn't be able to effectively shrink the government, but I could prevent it from growing for the length of my term. Who knows, without giving proper funding to worthless programs, I may be able to shrink the federal government some. Either way, I would be hated by Democrats, and I'd leave a bad taste in the mouths of Republicans.
bluethen wrote on Sat, 02 June 2007 21:36 I'd make sueing illegal.. You do realize that as the President, you don't have the ability to make and pass laws by yourself, correct?
Who said I was going to do that as a president?
bluethen wrote on Sat, 02 June 2007 21:51 Who said I was going to do that as a president? You're American, and that would be the "head of state" position. Plus, no one person in American politics can pass a law.

Pull out from all the shithole countrys that our troops are in. Rebuild our country back to its old status of being a super power with an empire that covered 3/4 of the world like it used too. Rebuild the NHS, give them more space for beds, hire more doctors, nurses, give them a pay rise, build more schools, police stations, plant a few million trees around the country so on. And last, order the extradition of bluethen to the UK, to answer some terrorists charges, dress him up in some orange jumpsuit, stick him an cage, ass rape him a few times, the normal stuff we do to terrorists, then post a few pictures on the internet.
The Spoony Manifesto - Do away with the current cushy prison system. Follow the example of that dude in Arizona. Serious offenders, including offenders of any violent crime, sentenced to camps made of surplus army tents. Cheap for the taxpayer, instead of the current system in the UK whereby it costs more to keep one person incarcerated than the average adult earns. Shitty food, nothing to do, barbed wire fences, vicious guard dogs, armed guards etc. Then watch the crime rate drop like an Italian striker. Keep a few of the current prisons for minor offences, juvenile centres etc. Modify the rest into, I dunno, old folks' homes or something - Get rid of speed cameras. Everyone currently employed to monitor/service them relocated to real police work. If they have no training, experience etc, no problem - just suit 'em up, give them an unloaded gun, and have them act as public deterrents to real crime because they'll be far more helpful to society than they are now. - Employers have no restrictions whatsoever on who they can hire and fire - other than age and legal work permits, obviously - Get rid of the fucking fuel tax. Petrol in the UK is currently the equivalent of around $7.50-$8 US/gallon, 70% of which is tax. Make that more like 20%. How to meet the shortfall? Two answers to this question follow... - Legalise cannabis, but tax the hell out of it. I'm talking like the 70% tax currently on petrol. Harder drug controls stay where they are. - Spending on housing+handouts for illegal immigrants and asylum seekers: zero. Advertise that fact globally. Have a complimentary bus service (yes, bus) making a trip back to various Asian/Middle Eastern countries for anyone who didn't come into the UK legally, with just enough food to get there. - Dole cuts off after six months - Political correctness made illegal - Firm warfare legalised and televised as a sport (basically boxing or UFC but on a larger, more dramatic scale). Maybe have a league or something for it too, I dunno. I'm sure it'd be popular. - Death penalty, but only for British-born terrorists. Means of death to be quite unnecessarily painful.

Declare war on Iran Declare marshall law Pull out of the EU Introduce compulsary conscription Eject anyone from the country without british citizenship or a visa Make more laws to enable the detaining, stopping & searching of non-whites easier Introduce camps for non-whites (note to self, make sure there is a good supply of gas nearby) Remove allot of litigation and paper pushing from police policy, and make them less accountable for acceptable forms of restraint. Dismiss human rights Make it legal for prisoners to be used for labour Bring back capital punishment Make more crimes punishable by death Promote and try to purify the anglo race Decrease the public opinion of non-whites (possibly blow up canary wharf and blame some Indians?) Reward women who have 5 babies which have blue eyes and brown hair Develop a golden shower fetish Grow a funny moustache Vote for me people, Ein Volk, ein Reich, ein Fuhrer!

And I also dont see why Cubans are shot on spot, when caught leaving. Makes me love living in canada. And Steroids in baseball, happens alot, but ever notice its with the players who are really good or have a god public image? You never hear of steroids from people who arent batting .350, Pitching 103 MPH, K'ing 13 times a game, or smacking home runs. Its only the good players who get the attention. Makes you wonder how many people actually use steroids.

I wouldn't want to be the secretary of state of an existing country. I'd much rather buy an island somewhere and run my own government. It'd be like that place in the film The Beach, but without the drugs farmers and the inevitable doom. Edit: Incidentally, j_ball seems to be getting into a lot of arguments recently.

I believe J_ball sums up why illegal immigration is a bad thing. To add on top of that, they're not registered for the draft. Personally I think a fair trade would be: 3 years of U.S. Military service + Good understanding and communication in English = Full Citizenship. That's just me though. Oh look! Another one of my policies! but still...Welfare = 0 except Senior Citizens and people with REAL disabilities I suppose. Real disabilities include things like autism, paraplegics, the blind, the deaf, ect. !WARNING - Rant below! I worked at a Human Services building as a Security Guard for ONE week and was completely disgusted at the amount of able bodied men and women with 6 children that came waltzing in there. Get to work, and close your damn legs. I shouldn't have to support other people's children with my taxes.
Military service for citizen ship has some advantages and disadvantages. On the one hand you are solving the crunch for troops. There are a LOT of Mexicans wanting citizenship. On the other hand you have essentially mercenaries fighting for us. That didn't pan out very well for the Romans :/ Also they are fighting for something they cannot yet enjoy. I think if you did that you would probably have to give them a three year contract, and make them citizens at that point. I mean sure there'd be some who sign up for the army and try to skip out but think about it. What are they gonna do? Flee the country! Ah ha ha. That was a good one I think. Anyhow if you made them citizens right then when they officially entered the army they would in fact be American citizens fighting for America. By the way they can't be trained or commanded unless they speak English. Just seems win win win win to me. So they sell some chicle, buy a book to learn some English, go to the border and sign a contract with the US government, become an enslisted man and become a US citizen. Sounds great. By the way gbull I agree about the welfare thing. I was glad to see you cede the point about the truely disabled though. In an ideal world there would be no welfare but there really are people out there who cannot make a living. My brother is autistic and if my family wasn't still supporting him there's no way on Earth he could make it on his own. He's 25 and works 1 day a week at the Library shelving books. If only there was some way to make the welfare system more... lean. Some way to prevent people from just living off it without cause.
1 make disabled ppl have a special card to indicate they are disabled in someway 2 have security guards outside of offices so normal ppl can just come in and beg for welfare 3 high disability pension for life (if u worked for at least 2 years?) 4 GET A DAM JOB U LAZY ASS PPL! 5 make a mandatory job law 6 ^ if not enough jobs make more civil servant jobs (garbage picker upers )

Well if you want to do stuff like that you just have to have a really strong government. They are all sort of fascist policies. People don't have jobs? Make more jobs. Put the people to work doing whatever as long as they have a job. Simple solutions to complicated problems.

Restricting welfare to only the truly disabled would help this country's debt problems immensely I think.
Bigger isn't always better. For instance, government is a good example of that. Personally, I don't see why people think that equality is better than liberty. I would much rather be in control of my life and make life altering decisions on my own whether positive and negative, and have nobody to answer to for my actions than myself. Whether I end up a success or a failure, I want that to be my doing. I don't want to take away from others for my own good. That's selfish. I also don't want to take from others to give to others because that's arrogant. Yeah, we all need to look outside of ourselves and help others, but not by force, and certainly not by force at the hands of our government. If you saw gbull's old signature, you would have seen a quote from me. It basically said that we need to be responsible for our actions. We can't lay the blame on anybody else but ourselves for what we do. Our society increasingly seems to feel that if we make a mistake, the government should fix that. Wrong. All you do then is steal from everybody else because the government stepping in only makes the government spend more money which is gathered through taxes which is ultimately paid by those of us who AREN'T fuck-ups. If I want to help a fuck-up, that should be MY choice, not the choice of some ignorant 'bleeding-heart' fucktard who wants to spend my money for the 'common good'. Sorry, but I earned this money. I should be able to choose to do with it as I please. Nobody else should be able to tell me what I should be spending my money on. I'm not saying government is bad. Government is very much needed. However, a large government becomes intrusive, and gives more power to people who are corruptible. We're human, we're all corruptible, and giving too much power to any one person or group is very very dangerous. Saddam Hussein is a prime, recent example of this. Another would obviously be Adolf Hitler, and yet another would be Joseph Stalin. These are all examples from within the past century. Government is good, but only if the people that it's supposed to serve are still in control of it. Stealing a quote from 'V for Vendetta', "People should not be afraid of their governments. Governments should be afraid of their people." Name me an incredibly powerful government that didn't scare its people, and I'll change my views on big government. However, we all know there isn't one good example. Only theoretical governments.
^ took u long enough eh? If welfare was only restricted to disabled people, there shouldn't be many people disabled anyway. Plus maybe make a law for giving the disabled person a minimum (say $500000?) amount of disability pension. IF thats not enough (wtf? 500k is not enough???) they can get state welfare (say $2000?) thats a good amount in the U.S. or Canada. Since right now Canadian welfare is about $1000...I think...Plus every country has SOME form of national debt (except U.S. but who else is as rich as them Americans???)

Canadian Welfare is 625/ Month. Disability, is 1000+ Depending on injury per month. Disability in canada is WAY too easy to claim, I myself, could claim it, because of my one knee. Busted it pretty bad in football last year, hurts to bend. But I chose not to, I chose to go in work. I guess in 15 years, when my cartilidge in my knee is fully gone, Then yea, I'll go on disability, and even then, I might chose to work from home, kinda like Crimmy does. But I have no Coding, Programming, or Computer sence, other then how to put one together. So I'd have to find something else to do from home, probably advertising, which I think is PURE bullshit. Those online surveys, which yea, do pay some money. (You can do them everyday, and make money) And maybe connect myself with Insurance brokers, like my mom does, get a business line, make myself available 8 hours a day. Now that last one, is my best option. Most cash, most reliable, most secure.
Wow your one of those strong types! Unlike those n33bs once they break a leg and go on disability pensions... And anyone have a suggestion about crime? Mines making criminals go say in a military camp and then send them to Iraq or Afghanistan. They should be in a paramilitary unit so they won't be affected by military law
There are million dollar operations needed by some people. It's pretty easy to go over your lifetime providance when you are in the hospital. When my little sister was a baby she had a mole on the back top of her head and they thought it looked suspicious so they wanted it removed. It was a 19,000$ operation, to remove a mole. Think about if you stay at the hospital a long time or need a series of operations.
