    Who says I'll be 50 by the time I become British? My youth won't stand in my way, nor will my British nationality.

    Why do you keep posting threads that just ask a simple question, but then you don't actually post your own answer? Are you really that unimaginative?

    1. Eliminate about 90% of the Department of Education and privatize all schools. Institute a permit trading system allowing for parents to choose to pay tuition for their children or purchase education-exemption permits. Effectively, replace the current failing mandatory education system with the same system used to handle CO2 pollution; rather than CO2 as a pollutant, we'll treat ignorance.

    2. Approve construction of the Yucca Mountain facility in Nevada. Repeal ban on new nuclear power facilities. Repeal ban on nuclear waste recycling. Institute permit trading program for coal-generated pollutants to curb use of coal-fired power plants within 10 years. Offer tax incentives to large oil firms to ensure they maintain marketshare in energy market. America's pension plans own Big Oil and we can't afford to rapidly cut into their success.

    3. Reform medical malpractice law to grant further leeway to Doctors, particularly in the area of punitive damages. Increase difficulty of Board exams in order to proactively promote better health practitioners. Use anti-trust laws to attend to any malpractice insurance carriers who do not appropriately reduce rates. This will cut the cost of healthcare almost immediately and will severely decrease the bargaining power of HMOs.

    4. Broaden scope of insurance laws to require cash backing for any service that acts as insurance, whether or not it is specifically labeled as such. This will largely prevent a repeat of the current financial crisis because it would be significantly more difficult to inflate the apparent value of mortgage-backed securities.

    5. Officially define marriage as a civil union between a man and woman. Allow for domestic partnerships between and two people that 1. live together 2. maintain joint finances 3. are responsible for one another's well-being. Require all government offerings currently available to married couples also be available for all domestic partners. Notice that this does not allow for "gay marriage" nor does it restrict the benefits of a domestic partnership to those who are having sex. Two roommates could therefore receive the same benefits as the gay couple across the hall because they serve the same purpose to society.

    1) Put more money into Education and abolish the No Child Left Behind Act.
    2) Have a no tolerance gun control act past.
    3) By some miracle, make Social Security an independent trust fund once again.
    4) Allow inmates to fight to the death in exchange for freedom (in which they would be shipped off to Canada) in a Gladiator style pit of death.


    Yeah.

    Though I wouldn't want to appear soft on someone who had to kill fellow inmates and survive the lion pit, I suppose I could at least give them the option of France.

    These questions are meant for me to get to know you and to stir up discussion on this otherwise stagnant board. It's apparent no one wants to get to know me that's why I sit back and let you guys discuss. Besides where's your contribution to this board?
    OKAY DEN. Also I really like the other answers as well. And I vote France because it's further away from America.

    If I was president,
    I'd get elected on Friday, assassinated on Saturday,
    and buried on Sunday.

    If I was president...
    If I was president

    Instead of spending billions on the war,
    I can use that money, to feed the poor.
    I know some so poor, when it rains that's when they shower,
    when screaming "fight the power".
    That's when the vulture devoured

    [chorus]
    If I was president,
    I'd get elected on Friday, assassinated on Saturday,
    and buried on Sunday.

    If I was president...
    If I was president...
    If I was president...
    If I was president

    But the radio won't play this.
    They call this rebel music.
    How can you refuse it, children of moses?

    [chorus]
    If I was president,
    I'd get elected on Friday, assassinated on Saturday,
    and buried on Sunday.

    If I was president...
    If i was president

    Tell the children the truth, the truth.
    Christopher Columbus didn't discover America.
    Tell them the truth.
    The truth
    YEAH! Tell them about Marcus Garvey.
    Tell the children, the truth, yeah! The truth
    Tell them about Martin Luther King.
    Tell them the truth.
    The Truth.
    Tell them about JFK

    If I was President

    Too bad the president has no direct power over pretty much anything mentioned in this thread.


    If I were president:

    I would stop being a dick about oil and money (dunno how Obama is but I'm still looking at the previous ones)

    I'd kill myself so I wouldn't have to live life as a half black man.

    In all seriousness though, I'd probably just dick around, blow up some countries, do a lot of blow and get bjs in the oval office. Oddly enough I know people that said they would vote for me if I ever ran.

    What? It's a combination of all the awesome things that our last few presidents have done. I'd be the pinnacle of greatness.

    Why do you support nuclear power? We have no way to get rid of it, and it stays active for millions of years. Putting it in a mountain doesn't seem like the greatest idea either. You probably support it because it doesn't effect you directly. Can we store it in your garage?

    Thank you America.

    If I was president:
    1) Separate church and state since people are obsessed with pushing on agenda that i consider "bibltics" (like defining marriage as between a man and a woman)

    2) Create a national healthcare system since those who can, should help those who can't help themselves, and it seems to be working in other countries (with around the same tax rate).

    3) Move progressively away from oil and towards natural gas, which we have plenty of in the U.S. while also looking into other alternatives. There would be tax credits for companies who consistently reduced their emissions and were working towards clean facilities.

    4) Undo everything Bush did in opening up areas for more drilling in the U.S. Although we would still rely on oil for awhile (since it's idealistic to think you could just switch) I believe that opening up drilling in the U.S. would only perpetuate our dependence on it.

    5) Put more money into education and reduce or eliminate the cost of college and technical schools so we can reduce the amount of ignorance in this country.

    Because nuclear power is safe. It doesn't stay active for millions of year, there are recycling programs in use in Europe at the moment that greatly reduce the volume of waste produced. Coal-fired plants are guaranteed destruction. Nuclear plants are minimal risk, minimal waste, and easily planned and accounted for. Furthermore, the U.S. is full of nuclear plants that are near or past their life expectancy that cannot be retired due to the ridiculous ban on further construction. It's simply burying your head in the sand if you think we should be getting by without nuclear power. Nuclear energy has minimal effects on the environment, while coal, solar, and wind energy all have profound effects on the environment.

    The Yucca Mountain facility is about as perfect a site for waste storage as you can imagine. It's more than 100 miles from any people and is geologically ideal for an underground facility. Do some fucking research.

    This is a fantastic proposal from the near-sighted revisionist historians who refuse to acknowledge that the very concept of marriage was created by religion. While Christianity was not the major religion of the founders, but it was the reason that marriage became an institution of our government. The Church ought to be the ones to define the term marriage as they are the ones who created it. It's simply arrogant tomfoolery of the gay community to demand access to the term and, in turn, reject equal rights to two people who serve an identical purpose with the exception of not having sex (which is, in most states, still a crime.)

    Tax credits are an antiquated system which require the government to determine the cost of abatement for all firms and then set the tax rate appropriately, leaving the total level of abatement up for chance. Of course, you don't appear to believe very strongly in the free market so I won't bother fixing the stupid inefficiencies of this suggestion.

    Punishing the oil companies is punishing every single American with any type of retirement or pension. That will help the economy and help finance you're retarded plan for socialized medicine.

    Well you obviously put a lot of thought into this so I'm sure that will turn out just fine. Who are you, LBJ? Add government oversight and throw money at your problems and maybe they will go away long enough for the next president to deal with them?

    While I agree with the marriage thing (and possibly nuclear power, I am not educated on that subject so I can't really comment) I think that the socialist perspective has much more to offer in terms of a sustainable future. If we continue dependency on oil we're simply perpetuating environmental costs. I think we need to look for clean and renewable energy asap.

    Also, public medicare is great...it works perfectly in Canada.

    Despite being a barefooted member of the filthy left, I actually think nuclear power is pretty $ and I'm not sure why people are so terrified of it.

    I mean, I played Sim City 2000 and those nuke meltdowns were not a big deal if you had enough fire departments.

    I do think nuclear power is necessary, but not in place of other energy sources. We should be putting more money into energy research, into fine tuning wind and solar power to maximize efficiency and minimize environmental impact. I also think we should be using natural gas - not for personal automobiles, but for large cargo trucks and so forth.

    You're right. We really should be burying nuclear waste in mountains. Maybe we could put it in Colorado too. We could just dig holes and drain it down some number of miles and pretend it doesn't exist too. The effects of radiation from nuclear waste don't go away in our lifespan.

    Well then let them be allowed the same rights as married couples. Though to make it fair, we really should remove 'married' as a listed status then and change it to 'civil union'.

    Canada does it. Britain does it. Norway does it. Finland does it. France does it. Australia does it. It's working for them.

    I'll give you this one. I'm not up to date on tax credits and that such. The point of what I was saying was that there needs to be some benefit to companies that are trying to change for the better. And I do enjoy the free market, except for when it becomes corrupted and we end up in the financial crisis we have now.

    I've often thought about this. How can we move forward when the middle class is struggling? Because I think the reason that the middle class is unwilling to support a lot of this is the cost of it all. But at the same time, the people want a cleaner world. And our government is supposed to do what we want, isn't it?

    LBJ escalated a war that was useless. And the president that followed was even worse. And Nixon, that president, was the one who got us started on the healthcare system we currently have. Ever listened to the tapes of him?

    Nuclear power is the best and most efficient power and developments have been made in the past 30 years where Uranium can be reprocessed and used again several times, making nuclear waste practically nada. Cheaper than what we have, more efficient than what we have, quit being an ignorant pussyfoot and learn your stuff before you say dumb things Icarus.
