disclaimer: PLEASE DONT TAKE ANY OF THIS SERIOUSLY. it is something i just wanted to share, and i intended it to be outlandish.

hey people, here's a question for you. what if you were President of the United States? what would you do? myself and a few friends at work got this running gag amongst each other that i am the President and they are my cabinet. its all jokes of course, but the scary thing is what we would do if we were in office. now, of course if i was REALLY in office, i wouldnt half the stuff i joked about, but it is still fun. my foreign policy would be real simple. mess with us, you will glow in the dark. i am sick and tired of 3rd world countries talking sh*t about the U.S.. they burn our flags, they call us the "Great Satan" and they decide they always want to hurt innocent Americans. i would take the Reagan approach. remember Khadafi? he was the loudmouth back in the 80's who thought it was cool to insult the U.S.. Libya gets bombed into the next week, and you really dont hear from Khadafi anymore. Hussein would be a memory. other terrorists would be eradicated. countries turned into parking lots, or they would become State #51, #52, etc....

OR, i would pull out all aid, and demand they pay us back. there are LOTS of countries that owe us money. time to pay up, or you become a territory of the U.S. the only country i would let "slide" is Britain. they always side with us. no complaints, no hassles, just on our side. i love those guys. now France is a different story. they always complain. i like Paris, and French Fries and all, but dammit, if it wasnt for us, French citizens would still be speaking German. and that's another thing. how embarrasing is that when you are a "superpower" and you have to surrender in SIX MONTHS? when Hitler is "moonwalking" through the Arc De Triumph, that tells you something. but back to pulling aid. i could feed our OWN homeless with the stuff we send to other countries. so, if you are receiving US aid, i suggest you back us or otherwise you feed your own people. i find it hilarious when other countries bad mouth us, but they are wearing Nike's and eating Big Macs.....

basically the U.S. is "damned if they do" and "damned if we dont". we "interefere" in other countries business, we are criticized. if we "stay out of it", we're criticized. amazing isnt it?

as for domestic policies, first of all i would advocate a better health system. other countries have great health plans and benefits for their citizens and their economy isnt as strong as the U.S. what's up with that? when a poor parent cant buy medicine for their sick baby, that is sad. we spend millions of dollars for idiotic research, but we cant provide better health care? another thing is i would try to make it a law that if you are a complete idiot, off to jail you go. but then again, jails would even be more overcrowded. i know, if you bring a complete frivilous lawsuit to court, i mean a complete ridiculous lawsuit, the PLAINTIFF AND LAWYER goes to prison for wasting the courts time.

education would get a priority, which brings me back to the idiot law. i see no reason why kids cant receive a better education. i know sometimes the kids themselves are lazy, but they should be educated. why? less idiots.

domestic policies are tough. myself and my cabinet have been having a whale of a time coming up with some stuff. no wonder Presidents get OLD while in office. besides the parties we would throw in the White House (we are all single), we would make this country a better place. if anyone complains about what we are doing, we have this motto: "You elected us.... you knew that we had no real political background and you still voted for us...."

anyway people, those are my thoughts. do not take anything i wrote seriously because obviously if i was President, i would have to handle things differently than what i mentioned. that is just my gripes. so, if you were President, what would you do?
 
President, schmesident! I want to be Grand Imperial Khan. Then we would see some positive changes around here.

Khan?

I thought Strel WAS Grand Imperial Khan....did he get dethroned when I wasn't looking? :wow: Q
 
As the president of the United States of ...erm.....oh yeah, Antarctica!!!!

As a brit I can't resist chiming in here. If I had my way as Prime Minister of the UK, it'd be bollocks to Europe and gimme a HELL YEAH!!! for NAFTA! As far as I'm concerned they can keep their crap common fisheries policies and their enforced illegal immigrant shovelling into Britain. The French are the only army in Europe with sunburnt armpits, anyhow, so why do we always bother helping them out?
When US bases were getting bombed by Libyan terrorists, France,Germany and the rest of the continental "crap hats" would'nt even let the USAF use their airspace on their way to level Tripoli. Not only did Maggie Thatcher let you use British airspace, she let the bombers land and re-fuel on their way to Libya!
Nuts to the Euro, I wanna be the 51st state and have the dollar! LOL And believe it or not, I only know the first half a dozen lines to "God Save The Queen" but I know the "Star Speckled Banana" the whole way through......sad innit? LMAO 😛
 
Sunburned

Sunburned armpits...lol! Well, I'm not up on your fishing policy problems, but it IS nice to have an ally over there that stands firm when needed, and don't ever think that the everyday citizens of the US don't realize who has been there time and time again for us...

As for France (and Italy for that matter), it's just their governments way, and I personally think they would fight like hell if push came to shove. The Undergrounds that developed in those countries during WW2 were incredibly inventive and tenacious organizations that more accurately represent the abilities of their nations people, IMO. Q
 
Hell Yeah!!

I agree mate, the governments were mostly to blame. I don't wish to offend any continental members of this forum, because as "Q" just said, this post was not directed at them personally.
 
If I were president...? Do you really want to stoop to that?! It would be a disaster! But, for fantasy sake...

I'd nationalize the health care industry...ALL of it...from the medics responding to calls to surgeons in the OR to drug companies and researchers. Everyone would have to produce or answer for it. None of this, no insurance, no care BS. People would be cared for no matter who they were or what they had. While insurance companies would remain in existance, it would be under strict guidelines and closely watched.

The legal system would dispense with frivolous lawsuits where one party takes another to court simply because they're annoyed with them. Malpractice would be a criminal case and not a civil one. If criminal negligence could be proven, they'd be jailed. No more five year long civil cases to get a judgement that they'll no longer be able to pay anyway.

Drivers licenses would be renewable only by taking another road test. Too many people keep their license though they've obviously forgotten how to drive. Any sort of DUI offense would result in immediate and permanent revokation of the license.

Pot would be legalized and sold in the same manner as cigarettes. It's time we stop wasting time and money trying to round up casual smokers and put the PUSHERS out of business. This would be controlled like beer, with proof of age, etc. However, ALL states and items would be available starting at age 18. If a person is old enough to fight for this country, they're old enough to chose that as well.

Half of the congress and senate would be jailed immediately for fraud and imbezzelment. It's time these guys did their jobs rather than DOING their interns. The party system would be done away with. It's time they stop playing politics and be the servants of the people that they were elected to be. It's also time that we stop voting for jerks just because they happen to belong to the party we do. A candidate is either good or bad. Party affiliation doesn't matter for beans.

While those who are truly unable to work would be aided, those who are simply unwilling to work would get nothing. At the same time, a true living wage would be required of all businesses. It's sad when two adults working full time at minimum wage can't afford to pay rent and eat themselves, much less support a family.

Gasoline prices would be capped. The only competition would be for sales in who has it the cheapest. None of this "shortage" garbage. We all know they're just playing games with us. While we're at it, we should develop our own resources and stop relying on OPEC. They keep giving it to us up the backside. Let's cut it off. We have plenty of resources to develop on our own. We just have to use it. Hell, it might even create new jobs.

The manufacturing industries (all sectors) would be regulated. We would no longer import items made in sweat shops in third world countries or in sweatshops of illegal aliens here in this country. We're giving away our jobs and not making life better for those who geet them.

There's soooo much I'd like to see changed!

I think I'll pass on this thread.My fingers only have so much life span.
 
Sad but true

A couple of years back the French army staged a major exersize but they cancelled it because............it started to rain!!
 
Sigh...Here I go again...

Ann, there was a country like the one you describe. It was called the USSR. It didn't work out all that well in practice.

An observation...........

A fair health care systym in th US is nothing more than the people deserve, but there ain't no chance in hell that you guys will get it. It was a pet project of "Willie" Clinton's, but he got nowhere. The owners of the pharmaceutical companies and the insurance companies just have too much power to allow it. When Clinton started to make waves it very suddenly emerged that he'd be having it off with Monica Lewinski, and any chance he had of getting an American health care systym vanished in the wrangling that followed. Nobody gets to be president without having some skeletons in their cupboard because those who are really holding the reins of power would never let it happen. It'd be too dangerous to have someone in the White House they couldn't control.😡

Strel....just something to note. When I respond to threads like this, it's with an idealistic and perfect world mentality. I don't really think these things will happen. It's NOT a perfect world. That's why those things that have been tried have failed. (Remember, communism was first called Christianity. By that, I'm referring to it in a pure communal sense, not a political one.) My response is more along the "if only" lines.

BigJim, what are you talking about? How can you say that about our beloved Britain. Sure, the US isn't all bad, but please, the 51st state? Most people i know would jump at the chance to burn an American flag (hey, not me 😀 )but even so, what is wrong with Britain? I'd prefer to live here any day, including mondays. I don't agree with the euro and that shit but George W Bush is the thickest pile of fly infested crap that I have ever seen! At least Tony Blair looks like he has half a brain cell.
And by the way, good like to Colin Powell (what IS with that name?) and his 'diplomatic mission' to Israel, I think he might need it. Last time I checked the Yanks weren't that strong on diplomacy; they just like dropping bombs. Which is fun too.
 
Hey Coolman,
I know the UK ain't all bad, but I just think the US is a hell of a lot more liberated. I mostly agree with your view of "Dubya" as the title of my post reflects. (It was supposed to be George trying to remember what country he was president of!)
As for Tony Bleehh having half a braincell, well I just loath all politicians, no matter what their nationality or party. I never believed they had any real power anyway. The buggers who own all the land and the multi-nationals pull the strings of democracy, just as the arms companies pull the strings in civil-war torn third world countries. ( Are you listening Mr.Khasshogi?)
As for the "51st State" crack, well if I was forced to choose between the European Union and being the 51st,I'd choose the yanks in a heartbeat. The UK has no power of it's own any more. Brussells controls our agriculture policies, our fishing policies, our finance,(to a large degree)the length of our fucking bananas and whether or not our shops can sell groceries in pounds and ounces!!! Soon the miserable bastards will have all our signs displayed in kliks and hey why the hell should we bother having an independant currency when they can nicely take control and save us all our trouble and strife by forcing that pile of shite, the Euro on us?
I wasn't saying that I don't like the location of Britain or the British people, just that I prefer the American idea of a good time, more than the crap-hat ideas that the EU forces down out throats on a daily basis. 🙂
 
hmmm... I think its a tough choice between the gun-tooting yanks or the danish wankers in Brussels pulling the strings over here... arghh! i can't decide. it's pretty bad ether way for me. why dont we just set up our own continent...we could destroy Ireland by air dropping large amounts of Guiness and watching the Irish drink themselves to death. 😀
 
Hmm...in a perfect world, I think Ann is dead on! On the serious side of thing, those would be my choices, or damn close to 'em.

As far as the initial humor behind the post...wellllll....

If I were President JoBelle, what would we see?

Well, to start, the shoe would be the new national emblem. 😉 A VERY high heel shoe...black leather with an open toe and little strappy ties climbing up your leg! *wink* Guys, you'd get used to it eventually~~!


Joby....a gun-tootin' Yank 😛 with a weak spot for the Limey types.
 
Kindred Spirits

Mate, I'm hearing you on FM!!!! How about we also airdrop crateloads of sheep over Wales and let the Welsh.....erm.....umm......ahh..... On second thoughts, never mind.:devil:

Those are pretty baaaaaaaaaaaaaad ideas.

hey shark, being from pennsylvania i guess you don't know what the welsh do to their sheep.:wow: ask someone nicely and you'll never look at a lamb chop in the same way, if you get my drift. wales is indeed baaaaaaarmey.

ok. enough with the sheep jokes. 🙂
 
Those sturdy hips....
That curly blonde hair...
The earthy aroma...
And these kneehigh boots....
Am I close?
 
Sheesh! How did the Brits manage to hijack this thread? Mind you, your responses have been more sensible than some. 51st state works for me, but before you apply for statehood, remember that you'll have to start serving beer COLD.

I dunno about that but i think that the Taliban are better at hijacking planes than the Brits are at hijacking threads. 😛

After watching the news today i think its clear that the yanks are good at hijacking Prime Ministers as 'testicular' blair was described as george w bush's poodle. i hate poodles. its a bloody good description though. if i were president i'd take blair for a walk through a minefield.
 
If Big Jim gets deported here,it will be easier to conduct our campaign.
 
joke

A city guy goes for a drive in the country and sees a farmer being "intimate" with a sheep.

Thoroughly disgusted,he drives up to the farmhouse to complain.

A teenage boy answers the door and is told of the transpiring event.

He gets a pair of binoculars and spies the area.

He then tells the city guy:

Oh it's nothing to worry about.He's my daaaaaaaaaaaaaaad.
