Default If you were King of the World?

If I were KOTW I would...
  1. Outlaw all firearms except for hunting rifles. Want to defend your home? Buy a dog.
  2. Extend hunting season to reduce the number of deer on the highway.
  3. Legalize Marajuana. Release non violent possession offenders.
  4. Create "pedophile island" and mandatory life sentences for child abusers. They're not evil, but they are sick, and it isn't something we can cure.
  5. Tax religious institutions like every other institution.
  6. Prohibit circumcision until the age of 18. Ditto for Tattoos and eyelid removal.
  7. Strengthen DUI laws - 1st offense 6 months no driving. 2nd offense, never drive again.
  8. Apply the Charter of Human Rights to religious institutions - you can't discriminate on the basis of gender or sexual orientation (i.e. prevent women priests)
  9. Mandate (and fund) all public schools have at least one arts related (music, theatre, fine arts) and one physical education elective available to all students should they choose to take it.
  10. Prohibit smoking within 50 feet of an entrance or exit to a building.

Wow. I'm even more liberal than I thought.

What would you do?

That's an awesome list, Flashpoint.

I disagree with number one: Dogs shouldn't be allowed in city - loud, dirty, potentially dangerous, pissing and shatting machines.

In the ultimate of hedonistic acts, I would have my two scantily-clad slave women feed me grapes while I lounge on my plush red velvet recamier.

If I were king of the world, I'd have a whole cabinet of people to run the world. I'd just live in my castle with 100 handpicked beautiful women, roll around in gold and drink wine and eat and throw extravagant parties.

By that logic humans should also be banned from the city.

Maybe the Occupy Calgary people that shat on the ground for FL's enjoyment, but most people do their business in toilets.

Also, cities are for people...dogs I don't think should be allowed in them.

What would you do?
If I was king of the world

1) Suspend all consistutional rights except ones that I deem to be benificial to the betterment of the kingdom
2) Ban all firearms except those possessed by the royal guard and elite royal guard units.
3) Re-enact the Kings rule when it comes to weddings.
4) There shall be no hunting in the kings forests period
5) 5 shillings for the head of robin Hood
6) rebuild the space program and invest heavily the King needs more worlds to conquor
7) enact a council of wise men, the council would be split with an emphasis on governance, Science and the Kings pleasure
8) the people need entertainment to distract them of the mundane aspects of their lives, each city would receive a sporting facitlity and every Sunday there would be gladitorial games, the gladiators would be criminals who would gain a chance to fight for their freedom, of course if they won, I would execute them secretly
9) Internet usage would be encouraged after work hours.
10) The rule of law is simple, I define the rules and therefore the law is what the king wishes it to be.
11) The NBA would be outlawed as would any reference to soccer
12) All industrial activity would be moved to Flashpoints yard
13) You can get a royal title for a fee, except for Locke who would automatically be bestowed the title of the Duke of Earl.
14) I would bring back the positions of court jester, town crier, and royal cocubine.
15) Since the king wishes to be remembered there will be a temple built, it will be over 5000 feet tall, blow fire out of its nostrils and scream "remember me every hour
16) anything else is beneath the kings notice and care and will be dealt with by the chamber of governers all governors will be appointed by the king.
17) Every August 22 will be declared as hummer day, guess what happens on that holiday, oh and ladies its the law.

Never. I just don't like them. I don't like when they touch my clothes and get me dirty. I don't like their stench. I don't like their barking. I don't like how they piss and crap everywhere. I don't like how dumb they are. I don't like how you're a dick if you don't like somebody's mutt. I could go on and on but I'll stop because I like flashpoint's thread and this will derail it for sure.

You do sound like a kind of a dick




As for the thread, couple of practical suggestions:

- Time of day will be on 24h format only
- Date format will be DD/MM/YYYY only
- Use metric system only (fata you USA and UK... fataing trolls)

If you want to read about a real "king of the world", read about Turkmenbashi:

http://www.neatorama.com/2007/06/11/...-turkmenbashi/
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saparmurat_Niyazov

A few of his finer accomplishments:
  • He banned gold tooth caps and gold teeth, and suggested that tooth preservation could be more easily accomplished by chewing on bones.
  • In 2000 he ordered that a giant lake be created in the desert along with a huge forest of cedar trees, which, he said, would help to moderate Turkmenistan’s climate.
  • In 2004, he ordered that a giant ice palace be build in the middle of the same desert, the Karakum – the hottest location in central Asia. It will include a zoo with penguins.
