Yep.  I don't care what happens I'll get assassinated in a day for doing that.  But I'm sure we could find another place to get stuff from.

China is one of the biggest trade partners. Pakistan (?) and Russia are allies. Iraq is our [zing]. I'll give you Africa because it's a shtuffhole, and North Korea because it sucks. Iran isn't doing anything.

A while ago there was that whole WMD "scare" in Iran.  How can Pakistan AND Israel be allies (or was I thinking of Palistine?).  I don't like Russia because they are a lead competetor in military technology (I guess).  And we have to rid the world of teh AIDS place (Africa).  And I forgot to mention that I would also make LAKE FRANCE!

Then I would force homosexuals out of the country.  Make it impossible for anyone to immigrate accross teh southern border.  Any person who illegally crosses teh US southern border gets a .50 slug in them.

I would tell the Russian officialls to screw off (not the people of Russian, cause they like us). I would put huge tax breaks on biofuels and companies that kept their factories over here.

I would also spend more money of cancer research. And Id tell Nasa just to give up, start a new Aerospace Division.

Id tell the local governments to figure out what they want to do about homosexual marriges and abortions.

Ah, but you are forgetting.  I said most powerful man, congress and the supreme court may have control of the country, but no one man in the country has as much power.  But we all know that he doesn't run the country.  The president is just a guy to cover up who is actually running the country.  I can't remember what movie that is from.

You never made a quantitative comparison regarding the powers of a single man in regards to Congress or the SC. You said who is more powerful. As president, a mechanism of a larger body of government, you cannot imply you are trying to compare his power to other individual men. Unless explicitly stated, which it was not, you were referring to bodies of power, not solitary persons.

4)start buying land from canada to expand the US. not alot just enough to expand another row of states above our northern boarder.
5) buy part of mexico to do the same.
6) beef up the boarder between mexico and USA.

some of this is big stuff that i dont think the US could do anymore but it would be on my list of things to do...

This is more along the lines of what I would do if I were a dictator, but you get the idea. . . .

  • Legalize homosexual marriage.
  • Limit the power of the Supreme Court.
  • Ban abortion; help to fund adoption agencies.
  • Designate flag-burning as an expression of free speech, except in the cases of vandalism.
  • Publically shut down our nuclear program and otherwise disarm.
  • Expediate our pulling out of Iraq.
  • Remove the Ten Commandments (and other solely religious emblems) from government property.
  • Limit federal interstate funding to any states flying a Confederate flag on government property, except in the case of historical reference such as a Louisiana building where all seven of the flags flown over the state are displayed (in such a case, the American flag would be higher than the other flags).
  • Remove the requirement for the Presidency in which someone must have been born in the United States.
  • Greatly increase federal funding for public transportation, especially across the Southern and Western areas of the nation.
  • Slowly work towards lessening Israel's dependence on the United States.
  • Nationalize healthcare.
  • Reform welfare, striving to teach dignity, hard work, and etc. as well as the traditional role.
  • Increase taxes on the upper income brackets.
  • And probably quite a bit more.

I have been thinking about this for a long time. It seems to me that our federal government is inefficient and inefective.

I think this country would be better if state governments, which better represent the people in their geographic region, played a larger role in creating programs and making laws.

I know that that probably didnt make much sense, I'll try to clarify later

I know that that probably didnt make much sense, I'll try to clarify later


At face value, that's good logic. However, I don't feel like thinking into it to try and find a problem.

I think a lot of the problems with the government is not so much not paying attention to the Constitution, but misinterpreting it. If the founding fathers were still around, they'd probably kick our asses for what we've done with the government.

But then it would become a big buisness and giant corporations would would manufacture it and cover it with chemicals and stuff.

Put high standards on how much  THC can be in there, and just regulate the chemicals used.

    the flags flown over the state are displayed (in such a case, the
    American flag would be higher than the other flags).




This serves no pourpose. Its more an act of vengence. There is nothing wrong with the confederate flag. Its fine, the problem is in the people, not the flag..

Yes, you can negotiate with terrorists. You haven't watched the news lately.

 

Posting the ten commandments, without posting relics for all other forms of religion, on government property, should not be allowed.

Separation of church and state.

10 comandments are part of the church, a government building is part of the state, therefore shouldn't be together.

The constitution prohibits the government from enacting any laws respecting any religion. No laws were made.

10 commadments are part  of the christian religion.
If they are displayed on government property, it shows favoritism.
(This was an arguement that some muslism and jewish friends of mine bought up)

So you just killed most of our major trade partners. Slick.


Yep.  I don't care what happens I'll get assassinated in a day for doing that.  But I'm sure we could find another place to get stuff from.

Tell me which ones are the major major trade partners.  I will destroy the ones that aren't and enslave teh ones that are.


China is one of the biggest trade partners. Pakistan (?) and Russia are allies. Iraq is our [zing]. I'll give you Africa because it's a shtuffhole, and North Korea because it sucks. Iran isn't doing anything.



Not the motherland!

True, Iran isnt doing anything, until there is proof they have been sponsoring terrorism, i dont have a problem with them executing people they find to be criminals. Im refering to the two homosexual teenagers. What they do in their own country is their own business. We may not agree with it but they are allowed to conduct themselves in any way they see fit.

I want the Ten Commandments down to save religion in this country.
I want the Confederate flag down to save the dignity of this country.

Yeah, they're both acts of vengeance, DBibeau—acts of vengeance against those who have tried to either tear this country apart through either civil war or sidestepping of the Constitution, a document designed to protect the minority in order to better the majority.

How will taking the confederate flag down from southern capitols save the country its dignity? We have no dignity. We have no high culture what so ever. If we want dignity, we need to be on our best behavior in other countries. If we want dignity our foreign policy needs to change. We go to other countries and trash them up and leave. Our decorum is deplorable. Our teenagers drink themseves to death at college, we kill eachother while being drunk while driving. This doesnt happen nearly as often in other countries. Countries like france, britain, spain. They have dignity, taking down the confederate flag will not change how we are viewed to other countries.

Why does that matter to you? I'm more concerned about what Americans feel about the Confederate flag than what the French (or others) feel about it.

I'm sorry, I just HAVE to comment on this.

WHat are you smoking? What makes you think that is a good idea in ANY sense of the manner?

We have nukes for a reason. They are a detterent against other countries.

Since we used the nukes in Japan, not a SINGLE country has attacked us.

Becasue of the nukes, countries are scared to attack us directly, so they fun terrorist. When they fund terrorist, we invade and get them out of power.

Sorry, that was just DUMB on your behalf DUne.
