What would you do if you were elected president,PM,King of your country? I would lower the drinking age to 18, Make Marijuana legal for medical use, make it legal to have marijuana for personal use only in a responcible manor, abbolish affirmitive action, Make the oil company lower gas prices, Universal healthcare, cut funding to section 8 and government housing, cut welfare funding, and improve the educational system in the U.S.

i would end the war, tell people to not buy into this global warming BS, end the war on drugs, start the war on poverty. id be doing a ton of the typical liberal stuff.

Telling people what to think is certainly not 'liberal bullshit'.

I'd get rid of cars and invest in better public transport. I'd make all drugs available (with restrictions) and pump money into addiction and withdrawal therapy. I'd invest in renewable energy and nuclear power. I'd allow prisoners to work to pay off their debt to society. I'd get rid of schools in their current form and provide the majority of education via networking. I'd make military service mandatory.

If I was made president of the United States, I would:

- legalize marijuana and place heavier penalties on DUIs and drinking offenses, such as alcohol-related domestic violence

- crack down on heroin, meth, and other "hardcore" drugs to further drive them from our schools, homes, and communities; hopefully, with the introduction of legalized pot, this would be made easier.

- set up hemp farmers with subsidies to make them competitive with the cotton and tobacco industries, and to establish the United State's marijuana dominance in the Western hemisphere (we will do it, kushier, fluffier, and greener than the competitor...'cause we're American. )

- put laws in place to reinforce the separation of corporation and state, and set up protections for small business

- dedicate mass funding to the climate crisis and the further development and adoption of biofuels to reduce dependence on foreign oil

- eliminate affirmative action and make all employment/funding/schooling opportunities based on merit alone. (Screw a free ride, read a freakin' book people.)

- cut welfare/section 8 funding, and establish more stringent laws for those who take assistance without employment

- grant conditional citizenship to all illegal immigrants currently based in the United States, provided they come forward for documentation

- stand up to Russia and China for violations of human rights and back the independence of Tibet and Chechnya

- repeal those parts of the Patriot Act which constitute a violation of fundamental constitutional rights

- divert non-violent drug offenders out of prison and into rehabilitation programs

- put in place anti-propaganda laws and laws which protect the American citizen from being influenced by those facts which have been proven to be untrue in either advertising or news media

- make parents responsible for the behavioral actions of their children so they are more inclined to intervene, and encourage "learning in the home" in ethics and respect as well as in the classroom; increased arts education and accelerated reading in our schools.

- withdraw all American troops from the Middle East and station troops only in those countries which we maintain civil relations with (and allow them troops within our borders as well, as a symbol of trust and respect)

- continue to hunt terrorists and refuse economic ties with countries which harbor them against us or any other country (*coughSaudiArabiacough*)

- work to improve the reputation of the United States abroad and repair those diplomatic relationships destroyed by the Bush administration

- introduce more intensive programs to aid the survivors of Hurricane Katrina in the Southeast, many of whom are still transient and displaced five years later

- support further introduction of the "smart" gun, which increases gun control by limiting use of the firearm to the fingerprints of a registered owner

That's all I can think of right now. Vote for me?

If I became President...

1.) My VP would be Will Farrell, because everyone needs a laugh.

2.) I'd put Chuck Norris into the Defense category. Because he will go in there alone and round house kick all Jihads, and will not only find Osama Bin Laden, but would scare all of our enemies and offer them protection for gold. "I love goooooooooooollllllld"

3.) Make marijuana legal, and be the first ever President to have it's own seed/bong company. I will make millions, with this money..(See number 4)

4.) .....Will make free health care for everyone.

5.) First President to ever say, "Lets go get high" as a campaign slogan.

6.) Air Force one would be the first plane on Pimp My Ride

7.) Lets party

peace n love

if you want something, you have to get it yourself. it is your responsibility to take care of yourself.

macphearsome

this is an old thread but I thought I'd bump it to add my own thoughts.

If I was president of the North American Union I would

1) Legalize marijuana and deciminalize other drugs in small amounts
2) Fund massive drug education campaigns and rehabilitation clinics (marijuana abuse education would be included)
3) Lower the drinking age and fund drinking education campaigns
4) Abolish capital punishment
5) Subsidize small farming enterprises in an effort to shift North America from a "corn+wheat+cow" diet to a much more varied one.
6) Enforce restrictions on big-business advertising
7) Enforce stringent regulations on media ownership and subsidize public broadcasting
8) Subsidize health-care programs
9) Tax junk food and increase taxes on alcohol and cigarettes to pay for the health-care programs. maybe tax mj as well
10) Get rid of the sucrose lobby group and any similar nefarious organization that commodifies health education.
11) Tax the SHIT out of the upper class.... not cause I hate them, but because I don't know how else to pay for all that shit I just subsidized!
12) Hide in my bunker for four years until the next election
