If you were King of the World?

[IliketoPuck]

Some good ideas.

I would get the ball rolling on the Calgary Flames rebuild, no more hemming and hawing. Crosby traded to CGY for an 8th round pick would be the kings will.

I could go on and on but I'll stop because I like flashpoint's thread and this will derail it for sure.

What's your stance on bears?

[sixpacked]

Redheads and beer for everyone!!!!!

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?

Interesting idea's for sure....my world would be a little bit different:

1. Create simple gun controls that allow law abiding citizens to own what ever guns they want.
2. Enact strict penalties for violent crimes including the death penalty.
3. Harsher drug laws including the death penalty for all illegal drugs concentrating on the source of the drugs.
4. Ban smoking all together...creating a grandfathering system for current smokers...can't expect everyone to quit cold turkey...
5. Legalize prositution and regulate and tax it.
6. 4 day work weeks.
7. Create a worldwide "bitch-slap" day where people can identify morons that have done something so incredibly stupid at some point in the year where they deserve to be slapped upside the head.

I would then Create an impartal comittee to compare crime statistics between Flashpoints world and my own to see which system works better at lowering crime.

Although, I do like CC's gladitorial games idea and would likely incorporate that into my legal system...oh and of course his idea of "Hummer Day"...where everyone gets a shiny new Hummer H3 to drive. Thats what you meant right Captain?

It looks like a Sasquatch...they should pay tax too!

[sclitheroe]

I'd shut the whole thing down and give the money back to the shareholders.

[Yasa]

I would abolish one world-government, and resign. I don't wanna deal with all that ####.

Kirant, in this forum we obey the laws of thermodynamics!

[CaptainCrunch]

Now sitdown.

[Super Nintendo Chalmers]

I'd rob the rich and give it to the poor. Then I'd rob the poor and shoot the money.

[Roof-Daddy]

Punch the Detroit Red Wings and their pocket refs in the junk once an hour, every hour, every day, until I died.

[CaptainCrunch]

I'd pay Van Halen to reunite to make the greatest rock album of all time, then I'd print one copy for me and murder Van Halen, then sell the album on E-Bay for several billion Crunch bucks. I'd have Black Sabbath re unit and they'd follow me around as my personal theme song players, that theme song, Iron Man.

[MrMastodonFarm]

I'd be horrible, just brutal. Whenever I am overthrown I would be right up there with Hitler and Stalin in the history books. The atrocities I partake in would be things written in the history books for all of life.

But man, what a ride.

[octothorp]

Yeah, I'd end up on the crazy dictator side too. Not evil, just batpoop insane. I'd pick cities and force them to live like they're from a different historical period, and then use that as a low-tech alternative to time travel. And when I went and visited them and brought modern-day inventions, they'd need to pretend that they had no clue what these things were, or they'd get deported to an even crappier era in human history. And each time I visited, I'd pick one person to travel back to the 'modern era' with me.

I'd dictate that the Olympics had to go back to the original greek intent of being all-nude (not because I think it would be sexy or anything, but because it would be the most hilariously unwatchable slow-mo replays ever).

And because I wouldn't want to spend all my time decision-making, I'd create this totally wacky global agency that operated backwards to any logic, where the countries with the largest and most aggressive militaries were responsible for peace, the countries who committed the worst atrocities were responsible for human rights, environmentally unsound countries would be on the environment panel, etc. Haha, okay maybe that one's too ridiculous. But nude olympics and historical cities, I'll stick with.

[The Fonz]

I would make will.I.am stop. Worst thing to ever happen to music.

[annasuave]

Wait. What? People are getting their eyelids removed?

[Regulator75]

Fireplace Arm Guy would be on all year.
