While that's true, I fail to see what it has to do with my topic that is actually serious. Stupid, but serious. Posts: 1918 | Registered: Sunday, October 13 2002 07:00 |

I would enjoy frequent gerrymandering, only entirely one-sided and arbitrary. You know France and Spain were always meant to be one nation, and the USA would clearly be much improved by becoming fifteen smaller countries. —Alorael, who wouldn't want to be a world dictator.

Shik ara, Ironweed. This isn't spam. Well, that is, unless everything that you don't create or enjoy is spam. In which case this topic, which is somewhat serious(as opposed to most of the topics I start), would be spam. But following a more realistic definition of spam, this isn't spam, so either contribute or leave. Now, let's get back on topic before this turns into a flamewar?

I'd make it a law that humanity has to move out to space and colonize the planets. Also make all capital crimes automatic death penalties (i.e. if yer guilty, you're taken out to the public square and shot, hung or crucified. Something painful like that. This would be punishment instead of deterrence (or something like that). Then, no-one can have relationships with anyone more than 5-10 years older or younger than themseleves, and if men can have more than one wife, then women can have more than one husband. Abortion is legal, but adoption is preferred, though you can't abort a female child unless the mother's life is in danger (and "danger" would be very strictly defined). Then, everyone has to serve a term in the military, at least a 4-year hitch, before moving on to college/work/whatever. That's what I can think of. Flames can be directed here - "null" or "void." -------------------- And that was exactly the point of itself. Takes advantage of the easily offended.

Hmm... I don't think i'd accept the position, actually. But if it were a choice between that and anarchy, I suppose I'd take control. I'd have punishments and all, but nothing like that; they'd all be as painless as possible, and rare. Prisons would not be there to punish criminals, they would be there to make criminals productive members of society. Criminally insane people would be kept separate and, ideally, without any means of killing others. Laws... laws... still too broad, really. I'd try to keep everything equal, in the equal sort of way, not the feminism sort of way. Capitalism, of course, and police to keep everything as stable as possible... I think I'd use my power more than the American government does, just because authoritarians generally get things done quicker... I'd try to keep out corruption, etc... yeah... still too broad... Alec, you want to go directly from capitalism to communism, with no socialism in between? -------------------- And though the musicians would die, the music would live on in the imaginations of all who heard it. -The Last Pendragon TEH CONSPIRACY IZ ALL Les forum de la chance.
