At a white house conference Pres. Bush leaned over to read a tilted teleprompter, and his brain fell out of his ear; this is a common problem for him as his brain is that small, but this time the secret service could not find it and had to rush him to a hospital for a brain replacement, to make a long story short, due to medical chart mix up your brain was transplanted into the president, you are now Presedent Bush Jr. what would you do?

Please make your response about political activities, I don’t want to hear anything like you would rub poop on your face in public or declare nation spit ball day, ect.

- work to pay off state debt, start payoff programme with the goal that 75% of the debt (33 trillion (10^12) $) are paid off within 50 years.
- simplify taxes
- increase corporate taxation
- increase taxation on hydrocarbons (gas & oil).
- stregthen poor aid in domestic USA (better homeless shelters)
- tighten gun control
- legalize cannabis
- reduce military spending (yearly budget on military: ~300 bln $ - reduce it to 200 bln$, use 10$ more on medicare and welfare, and save the 90 bln. $ for payoff of debt).
- tighten monopoly laws
- allow access to alcohol at tage 16, and drivers license at age 21 (so that the youth can have a safe relationship with beer & booze before getting to drive, and not the other way around).

Nice prologue, by the way (about the pea-brain ;)

i would apoint Rummy as president so i could retire if that was possible. if not, i'd make him my top adviser.

otheadp,

for the love of god why?!?!?

-remove all american forces from every country, disband the military
-declare the School of the Americas to be a terrorist institution, sign an executive order closing it
-propose a worldwide disarmament
-bring back kyoto accords and strengthen them
-declare a moritorium on the death penalty
-create universal labor law, state inherent workers rights to union, wages, working conditions, etc. in every country
-propose legislation to curb population growth, financial incentives to familes of 2 or fewer children taxes on more than 5 and a cap at 6, having more children than 6 will lead to declaration as unfit parents and removal of children from the house
-create a free book program, allow everyone a yearly allotment of free books
-propose an end to electoral college and redistricting
-dismantle the border system

It's just a sample really.

I would launch a worldwide chemical war, spraying LSD and psilocybin across the face of the earth, allowing for a bloodless invasion of every nation. Having conquered the world, I would use the drug trade to redistribute the wealth without stealing it from the rich directly, and then call an end to all borders, destroy currency, and set humanity toward working on reasonable and rational goals, like getting the hell off this rock and seeing what else is in the neighborhood.

Has it occurred to anyone else that the problem might be that humanity is going stir crazy?

:m:,
Tiassa :cool:

The Kyoto agreement is rubbish.

The Co2 emissions can be cut down, but at an abhorrent cost, and very little difference to the environment.

Co2 is less of a greehouse gas than water vapour is.

So, as the controversional danish researcher Bjørn Lomborg proposes: Drop current CO2 taxations and limits, and invest the gains in CO2 binding methods for the future.

uhmmmm....to me :D
too much liberty ,too much freedom ,too much............
and too less respect ;)
i´ve deceided for myself to watch the show ,might get funny !

ps : i like your idea about a lsd-attack ;)

That's the same crap that always leads to certain annhilation: let's just keep doing what we're doing and hope we come up with some brilliant solution in the future. That's the same solution to every problem.

The truth is that more is needed than Kyoto. We need to halt cars and industry. We need to reorganize our society so that homes are near work.

That's what I'm suggestion in Arcologies, but that has already been turned down by other board member here.

you play TOO MUCH sim city ,don´t you agree :D

nah man ,what i wanted to say is that there is no use/need for such constructions !
enough space on this planet ...

Most driving is from work to home and vise versa. It's not a matter of space but rather fuel efficiency. Consider if you lived 15 minutes from where you worked rather than and hour you use less fuel and save more time: win win. This society is not designed with fuel efficiency in mind. Suburbs and industry are far apart. Commercial is some where in the iddle but still fr away.

Oh nooo, not Lomborg. I might have guessed he crop up somewhere.

Arcologies would be nice, certainly at the main large cities. Better would be greater decentralisaiton, using what technology as we already have and new stuff invented as we went along. Unfortunately this would need a totally new kind of economics, and screw up the current world trade system.

-Decrease corporate taxes
-Decrease regulation and subsidies of industries, agriculture airlines medicine etc.
-More Federalism. (less mandates)
-No tarrifs i.e. Steel.
-No federal laws on drugs.
-Get rid of DEA and ATF no point of having them now really.
-No federal minimum wage. If california thinks it works let them have it.
-Open imimgration w/ mexico, cuba and china for peaceful imigrants because there is no minimum wage there are plenty of jobs.
-Unsocialize medicine.
-Appoint only non-judical activist judges. Don't care were they stand on anything really as long as they know what thier job is.
-No federal gun control.
-Reform EPA or abolish it.
-Use tax on gas/ oil to pay for highway transit nothing else.
-More Nuclear power.
-Repeal laws on Bio Research.
-Decrease welfare
-LOWER TAXES!!!!!!!
-leave, have sex, drink a bear and watch the Sopranos till you fall asleep.

*bump*

I think I would like to hear what people would do if they were Bush in light of the up coming election.

-No federal minimum wage. If california thinks it works let them have it.


Sorry to disappoint you, but there are 200 millions of jobless in China. Total labor force is around 700 millions. Jobless rate >25%. It seems 19th century capitalism is your ideal. Well, if it will come back you (most likely) will not entertain yourself with internet message boards anymore. It will be too expensive, and swarm of more burning desires (like getting food and shelter) will occupy your mind.

Personally, I would say to myself if I were GW: "Well George, nobody knows better than you do that you are an unqualified, deep down scared puppet putting a smart/brave mask on. Step down. Let true puppet masters to compete in the elections. Why take blame later for something you did not conceive, just transmitted like a zombie?"

Were I GW, I'd be ignoring pontifications from the sea of incompetence/stupitidity and be doing what I think is in everyone's best interest -- which would be that which is in my best interest becuase that can also serve others.

Vaguely the same thing as everyone else who can only whine that they haven't the innate abilitilty to make it so for themselves, let alone for others.

Mr. G,

So basically you would do nothing different from what Bush does as is?

Were I GW, I'd be ignoring pontifications from the sea of incompetence/stupitidity

You mean voters G?

which would be that which is in my best interest becuase that can also serve others.

You mean others with the same goals and motivations as yourself G?

Vaguely the same thing as everyone else who can only whine that they haven't the innate abilitilty to make it so for themselves, let alone for others.

If Katherine Harris worked for me then I'd be president too!

Please make your response about political activities, I don’t want to hear anything like you would rub poop on your face in public or declare nation spit ball day, ect.

would shotting your self go under that catoagory LOL

no i would appoint Ralf nador as presedent exspoce most of the us gov. secerts that are true truely dumb and plain bad!!. then opon my assassination by the us gov i would die

What would I do? Cut taxes to say a 15% flat tax. Cut spending on everything except defense and NASA. Develop orbital weapons platforms for missile defense. Provide tax incentives to encourage large families. Militarize the borders to prevent illegal immigration and help prevent terrorists from getting in. Establish a "loser pays" system for all civil lawsuits. Decrease regulations on business. Increase the speed limit to 90mph on four lane divided highways. Decrease the drinking age to 18 or 19. Decriminalize most recreational drugs. Provide student loans or perhaps even grants for students to become doctors or engineers (useful things) but no more student loans for anyone wanting to become a lawyer (we have too many already). If the enemy hides in a mosque or church, warn the civilians to clear the area and then bomb the hell out of it. Try to speed up the execution of convicted murderers. Do your DNA tests or whatever to make sure you have the right guy, but execute the sentence within a year, not twenty or thirty years when the criminal hardly even remembers why he's being executed. Abolish the NEA. Oh yeah, I'd sure as hell check out area 51.

Dear madanthonywayne, most of the American engineers (lucky to find a job in the first place) are UNEMPLOYABLE past 40 something. Those engineering diplomas are indeed useful things if your goal is to boost your middle age crisis to the record levels. USA does not need more engineers it has huge engineering glut for many years.

Probably, you are assuming there are millions of high paying jobs out there and there are very few college graduates to fill them. Quite to the contrary.

I would like to see doctor's glut though. Let greedy bastards feel the real pain. But AMA (American Medical Association) has unofficial policy of doctor's "birth control" to keep labor market unglutted. Loans are not the issue if the number of seats in medical schools is limited and strictly regulated.

Yea, If I were President Bush I'd be making a lot of spelling errors too. :D

Withdraw from the UN; allow it precisely one month to evacuate its headquarters from the United States, at which point the remnants would be forcibly ejected Withdraw all US military elements from Europe; redeploy the 2nd ID from the Korean peninsula to Ft. Sill back home, let the UN and ROK maintain the garrison there as needed We're stuck with Iraq already, so I'd eradicate sanctimonious fuckbiscuits like Al-Sadr using all options necessary, expedite a minimalist recovery IAW the third Geneva Convention obligations, and subsequently redeploy all custodial military elements back to CONUS ASAP Get the fuck out of the ISS; disband NASA; foster growth of space exploration in the private sector using minimal government subsidies initially with the premise that a permanent lunar presence be our next overall objective; let laissez faire take it from there Abolish the death penalty Disband the DEA, decriminalize virtually all illicit substances Dissolve social security, return accrued funds to taxpayers in the form of market shares, leave it up to laissez faire Repeal the Assault Weapons Ban and 1934 National Firearms Act; disband the BATF Disband the EPA Disband the NRC; cultivate growth in the dormant nuclear power industry, close as many coal/oil/gas-burning power plants as utility loads allow Eliminate GBI segment of NMD. Reroute nominal levels of funding into THAAD/ABL/NTW/MEADS programs. Pass a law requiring no cell phones in movie theaters, and no fat chicks wearing midriffs, goddamnit Learn how to ride a Segway. It's not that hard, George.

Yes but how would you all deal with re-election?

WellCookedFetus;

So basically you would do nothing different from what Bush does as is?
Of course I would. I'm an atheist Independent.

That doesn't mean that I'm likely to do anything that serves you better than anyone else.

What you personally desire isn't all that important to me when I'm considering the best interests of the nation.

Your state speaks for you. Make it want me to listen to it.

DeeCee;

You mean voters G?
Including you, yes.

I'd only be listening to the voices of the States. Their singular voice represents a more coherent signal-to-noise ratio than individually-invested irrationalities.


You mean others with the same goals and motivations as yourself G?
No. Others with the same needs. Simple concept, lost on you.

If Katherine Harris worked for me then I'd be president too!
Dee Cee
Presuming you could imaginably survive the earliest primaries.

Yes but how would you all deal with re-election?
d00d, I'm Bush, since when do I have to be elected?



Oh yes, I went there! Haha.

I'd let the hospital know the mistake they made (it shouldn't be too hard to prove, they'll be suspecting something's wrong when GWB starts speaking intelligently), have them put my brain back in my body, and sue them for billions! Muahahahahahaha!!

Tony + Stokes - you both want to decriminalize most drugs. What would remain illegal under y'all's adminstration/reign/whatever?

If Bush is a strong leader (which he isn't), he would challenge Sadam Hussein to "a fight to the death" in the middle of a field somewhere using only their fists. If Bush wins, a truce is called and the insurgents lay down their arms and the fighting ends in Iraq. If Sadam wins, He is allowed to live his life as a free man in another country.........I don't think Bush has the guts or the courage to challenge Sadam to "a fight to the death". He's a coward in "president's clothing"! Don't believe me? Go ahead and ask Bush if he's got the guts to do it. We already know what his answer is, don't we. He's a gutless President!

You know, I think Bush is one of the worst Presidents in our history. Having said that, that is one of the most inane, ridiculous ideas I've ever heard. For one, I don't recall Clinton challenging anyone to a fight during his reign. Cruise missiles? Yes. Fisticuffs? No. For two, what makes you think Bush pounding the shit out of Hussein would in any conceivable way, shape, or form do anything to end the violence in Iraq?

StarOfEight & Norman,

pretend your bush, that your brain is in bush, how would you deal with re-election?

In midevil times, sometimes dukes and even kings would fight each other over winning a battle, land, women or soventry........or just to protect their family name. It's a strong leader who would challenge another to do battle, one on one inorder to do the same. Bush has got no guts to do that. Bush is definetly not a strong leader, he's not even a leader!. So I use it, fighting Sadam, as an "example" to point out what a gutless president he really is! Get the point? I thought so!
