You are the 'dictator'.

Indeed, I like that. It would negate the chinese advantage and make domestic goods competitive. I like that, bit of an economic nationalist.

yes, I fully agree. Think how much revenue. Also, none of the governments business to begin with.

I like and support the idea of using prisoners for enterntainment. They could be just in real life to the death gladiatorial games, it would be awesome. I don't think the revenue should go to them though, they've done bad stuff and dont deserve it. maybe it could be free. And also, a side thought. Gladiatorial games should be legal, people could voluntarily sign up to it.

 

I don't really agree with you on that, I don't think a theocracy would be a nice place to live in.

Yes. It only gives undemocratic states a bigger leverage. Besides, countries can negotiate things between themselves. And it's just a beaurocratic mess anyways.

I kinda agree with that. Not that they should be christians, but that they should have citizenship. I want all people holding any public office to only have swedish citizenship. No duals.

Yes, it would be good if traitors could be deported.

Indeed. I don't really think charity is the state's responsibility, it should be handled by private charities. Unless it's in our national intrests. Even then I don't think we should just give them money, but rather low intrest loans.

 

It wouldnt really be a theocracy. We wouldnt be killing nonbelievers. You can believe whatever you want, but if you want to undermine your host's religion with another one, or the Progressive Religious belief system, that should have severe consequences.

 

All that can be avoided without a world government. A world government wouldn't stop all wars, it would probably only create more wars as it disintegrate as it most surely will. I'd prefer the world to be divided into democratic nation states that can negotiate between themselves. Democracies don't go to war, and that's what we need to do: democratise the world.

Indeed. One shouldn't be able to be a career politician. Having had a job should be a requirement, maybe some age limit aswell like 30, and I don't even think they should get paid. They should have another job in the mean time. That would give us much less annoying and useless regulations and laws.

And why wouldn't that state media be biased? Bias is something we cannot escape, so it's better to let the medias be completely private because then they aren't biased with tax money atleast. And of course, if they lie about something that can be proven they should be punished for it.

Indeed. people on welfare can't continue to live normal lives, they are subsidised by others and should focus all their energy on getting back to self reliance.

 

your proposition defeats the whole purpose of allowing choice, and seems based only on a disdain for religion.

 

I haven't really thought about that, but it's obvious. They should work of the costs of the judicial process, the fine, and the compensation to the victim(s) before they are executed. Unless they already have that money of course and can just pay from that.

Good one! that will sure lessen the wars and it's just and makes sense. brilliant, love it.

Indeed, truly indeed. And maybe they should also be required to know what both, or more, sides actually thinks about issues before voting also. i really don't see why letting uninformed peoples vote count as much as informed ones is a good thing.

 

Killing non believers isn't necessary in a theocracy. It just has to be based on the rule of god, as humans see it. ie, rule by the laws of the bible.

But there's not much more to be said. We have fundamental differences here simply put. I'm more of a natural rights guy.

 

1) Invest TRILLIONS of dollars in to education. Based on many of these posts it is sorely needed!

2) Mandatory economic exams for anyone elected in to office. If they do not pass basic economics they can not make decisions that affect our economy.

3) Abortion is put in to the Constitution as a right for a woman to destroy her own cells in her own body.

 

There is no such thing as a cultural Christian. You are more of a white supremacist guy.

 

what the bloody hell? Where did that came from?

Right.

What would you call some one that celebrates christmas, saint lucy's day, sings psalms, goes to church, says "jesus!" and "oh my god!", but doesn't believe in god then if not cultural christian?

No I'm not. I can spend some more time refuting your accusation if you care. do you?

 

It is someone who celebratessome christian holidays.

As for attending church... the bible warns about wolves among your flock.

About demons trying to infiltrate the house of God.

 

'some one who celebrates christian holidays' is an awfully long and awkward word for something that can easily be covered by cultural christian. Which is what it really is. I'm a product of a culture that's no longer believingly christian but retains it cultural elements. cultural christian

 

Those ideas are insanely bad!! I have no interest in being sent overseas to murder innocent people, in order to further the profit making potential of oil companies and Lockheed Martin. If you became dictator, I would put all my energy into overthrowing you!!

 

Indeed, but I wouldn't say awfully bad. I want the military to be voluntary, but in a real crisis it's good if the entire country can be mobilised as used to be the case in sweden until recently. Now, the US is probably never going to risk getting invaded by russia like we are, and you can take on everyone with just your voluntary army to begin with. Therefore, draft isn't something the US should bother with, it's for smaller countries.

Also, I wouldn't support forcing companies to pay a lower price to the military in peacetime but in a crisis it would be necessary to take to some less democratic and unfree-market actions to ensure the country can survive as best as possible. again, the US doesn't need this.

 

If I became dictator, my first act as dictator would be to give myself about 5 billion dollars. My second act as dictator would be to give up all dictatorial power!!

 

I would add to give yourself permanent immunity and all that also otherwise they can just take it.

 

Democracies create wars, and US is living proof of that.

 

The reason they have so many sex change operations is because the only other option is death.

Basically, if you're gay in Iran, you have to choose between a sex change or death.

 

but not against other democracies. hence why we should make all democracies.

Also, you distrust politicians don't you? you think they have too much control over your life? Well, imagine what they'd do with a world government..

 

That is not even remotely true!! Homosexuals are not synonymous with transgendered people. Your statement is insensitive in SO many ways. It just so happens that a high level fatwah was written in Iran, which supports sex change operations. That is all.

 

They allow sex changes in Iran? seriously? what the.. I'd never have guessed that! I thought they were generally intolerant people but you're telling me they really only care about gays and are totally cool with transgender people? I'm honestly very suprised. very

 

I already stated what would be DONE TO THEM if they try to become CAREER politicians. and when you know you will have to go back to living like an average guy, you usually don't want to mess with society, so go ahead, tell me what they would do?

 

War isn't determined by the government structures involved. It's mostly economics and strategic interests.

And if the Middle East is any indication, it looks like dictatorships were a better option with certain countries.

 

oh yeah, I forgot about that part. Yes, it's true that this is an unrealistic universe where you can stop the inevitable misuse of power. In reality though, you can't.
