Edited by: 7shining7one7 on 15/02/2009 02:10:31 Hey guys, it's me.. the friendly forum tard/peace frog.
In these dire times, where things are not exactly going towards the betterment of mankind.
Instead of constantly bickering about who's to blame.. not undermining the necessity of such inquiry or investigation..
but what is naturally of utmost importance is.. what can be done.. because thoughts are just thoughts untill they become manifest in action with resulting consequence.
So.. what would you do.. were you king for a day.. how would you make this world a better stay?
rules:
1. personal attacks are not necessary, required nor conducive to any proper solution.. 2. please keep out suggestions that only benefit yourself. 3. no suggestions about depopulation or other such nefarious and frankly illegitimate suggestions. 4. have fun.
where there is laughter there is hope
i apologize for the bad quality of the vid, and i'm not exactly a star trek buff.. (never really got into it) but i liked the dialogue at the end, and it seemed fitting..
let's change the world, one person at a time what say you..
let's hear what you have to say.
peace

How to fix the world:
1) Kill 7shining7one7.
2) Begin mass construction of hydroelectric, geothermal and solar/wind power plants where possible, nuclear where not. All fossil-fueled power plants will be shut down within 50 years.
3) Invest massive funding into developing fusion, electic cars, etc, essentially everything required to reduce fossil fuel consumption by at least 95%.
4) Remove all religiously motivated restrictions on scientific research (stem cells, etc).
5) Fully fund the development and deployment of missile defense systems, significantly reducing the risk of nuclear war.
6) Revoke all tax exemptions and other special privileges granted to religious organizations, treating them no differently than any other business. This includes their exemption from prosecution under laws against false advertising (for example, in relation to promises of miracles/heaven/etc).
7) Re-structure the educational system to remove feel-good "testing" and "everyone's opinion has worth" bull****, emphasizing math, science, and other technical skills. Also included will be mandatory classes in logic and critical thinking, both in formal mathematical logic and informal argument/fallacy recognition/etc.
8) Remove all state or local laws allowing the teaching of creationism, intelligent design, or other religious bull**** in science classes (while they are already unconstitutional in the US, this will save the trouble of another drawn-out legal case). Any advocates of teaching those beliefs, or politicians who voted in favor of allowing them, are to be stripped of all titles and licenses, impeached and banned from ever holding public office, and charged with criminal fraud.
9) Begin properly developing our space technology. That means a return to the moon within five years, mars within ten, and full scale asteroid mining within 50. The capability to divert a threatening asteroid will be required within ten years. Long-term projects, such as terraforming mars and constructing a space elevator, will begin immediately, but a strict schedule of results is impossible to predict at this time.
I suppose I could add a few more, I've got over 23 hours left to think about it. I'm not sure what political system I would like to leave behind, a single unified government would be nice, but there are advantages to keeping individual nations...

Edited by: Kravick Drasari on 15/02/2009 03:37:59 All forms of censorship would be deemed illegal. Punishment would be subjecting offenders to listen to "Ice ice baby" by Vanilla Ice over and over for 200 hours straight.
Schools and colleges would be overhauled. No more treating them like businesses. Teachers would in turn get paid more and paper pushing administrators would receive a pay cut.
All lawyers would be flogged. Well, ok not really. Ok, maybe just a little. Frivolous lawsuits and the lawyers who represent them would be outlawed. This goes with the next one.
Personal responsibility would be mandatory. If you break into someone else's house and cut yourself on their knife you would be denied any and all legal recourse concerning said person. Not only would you go to jail for breaking and entering you'd also be forced to buy them a new kitchen knife set for infecting their old with with your AIDS.
Politicians would receive a massive pay cut. Its not like they do any work anyway.
If a kid ****s up, its the parents fault. Parents would be held responsible for failing to do their job as a parent.
Heavily invest into clean energy such as solar power, geothermal, and wind energy. There is no reason to not have a solar panel on the roof of every house. --- My cat Putter approves of this post. |

10) Introduce strict population controls: one child for each person, non-transferable. Negative population growth will be required until the world population has reached a sustainable level (to be determined in the next 23 hours) well below its current state, at which point the allowance will be slightly increased to allow the population to remain constant.

Yes but then we can nuke the Middle East and after a few thousands years we can go and extract all that oil for free. Or we send idiots in who want to build walls around the Middle East because they don't want to solve the problems we have caused in the first place and have them extract the oil for us. That also reduces the moronic part of the world population.

Then I'd pour giant piles of money into a laboratory full of smart people and tell them to get crackin' on fusion/fission so we can have that stuff up and running by the time we run out of radioactive materials.
Energy crisis solved, global warming (mostly) solved. And it ain't even lunchtime yet.

Edited by: annoing on 15/02/2009 10:24:10 1) Ban all religion. Anyone who wants to still worship their God can be sent to meet their maker pretty damn sharpish  2) Nationalise all oil/gas production 3) Spend ALL profits from oil/gas production on natural energy resources -- also, spend money and resources on perfecting the several projects out there that are looking at hydrogen energy and/or fusion energy 4) Make sure equalty for all MEANS equality for all. Give real equality to women, gays, races, colour, creed etc etc 5) Make sure ALL food production is shared equally amongst the nations of earth. It WONT mean that the western world will recieve less, but it does mean that those poorer countries recieve more when needed 5) End deforestation, make planting of trees and forest management a must 6) No more industrialised fishing. Want a fish to eat? Get a rod and go catch one yourself 8) ALL Pedos will be executed on conviction. Sure mistakes will happen but i'd rather the odd innocent to die then those w@nkers to continue living - all those currently languishing in jails will be taken, forthwith, to the exercise yard where I will be gladly waiting with a gun and a bucket of bullets. Never ask someone to do something your not willing to do yourself 
PS: Take people like Baltec 1 and slap them with a huge wet cod for being stupid enough to believe that Tom and Jerry cartoons etc are banned for being to violent in the UK. The reason they are not shown on the BBC or ITV etc at the moment has to do with licensing issues. Warner Bros issued the global license to the owners of Cartoon Network and their subsideries. They, obviously, wont share that license to other companies that pose a threat to their market.

Good thing you are not in charge.
1 - You are a facist. 2 - Cool. 3 - I'm not sure how you can spend money on natural energy resources, but ok. 4 - Easier said than done. 5 - It will mean that the western world would get less, but yea, we'd still be ok. 5 - Damn near all paper is made on paper farms, that plant new trees as fast as they cut them down to make paper. Deforestation is caused by poor people burning down woods to make farmland. 6 - You are a moron. This would mean massive starvation in very large portions of the globe (damn near everywhere with a shoreline). 8 - Naw, capital punishment is dumb, sentence them to lifelong slavery instead, repay their dept to society.

There is no way something like that could be achieved, honestly if it could, it would have already been planned. Fossil-fuels are still used for a reason ya-know.. How about sink massive research into renewable energy? I think governemnts could do a better job than they are atm tbh..
Quote:
3)
Such a propostition would end up drawing massive amounts of power from each settlements power grid. Considering the lower output of your suggested renewable powerplants, you could never provide enough power.
Quote: 4)
It's not just religion that encourages such restrictions, but also moral induced restrictions. This means your effectively promoting grave-digging. I'm all for stem cell research, but there should be some restrictions (Though I think there are too many atm).
Quote: 5)
I agree. However nuclear warheads are a huge motivation not to go to war (you bomb them, they bomb you back). As such removing nukes from the equation could actually increase the possibility of war(!)
Quote: 6)
Agreed, dont know why they get the exemption in the first place. I'm all for the govt etc paying a preachers sallery (he cant earn anything while preaching), but business benfits kind of profiteering..
Quote: 7)
Although I think people do get babied a bit too much, your opinion here just reminds me of what ****** (wtf, "hitlar" (deliberately spelled wrong) is banned?) would say..
Quote: 8)
I think it should be optional, evolution does make alot of sense, but its not like Darwin just discovered the solution to everything, there is still alot we dont know. It does not effect any1 if people want to believe creationism, so let them have their optimisitc approach. Also, your effectively saying "Apples are better than oranges, all oranges shall be condemened and some charged". Why do you care so much? You're sounding like a cetain Fuhrer again..Freedom of choice may lead to strange beliefs and people, but its better than the alternative.
Quote: 9)
Agreed, space is the next frontier and we shouldnt sit around twaddling our thumbs after such a promising start in the 50's (some actually think it was faked due to a lack of post-50's or even recent progress lol).
However it's kind of already in place, I mean how many billions get sunk into NASA every year...
Quote: 10)
Sorry but you need to learn a bit more about demographics. Negative pop'n growth is never good. What happens is the population begins to age and the younger working class (of which there are less of as a result) must support them. It also has a negative impact on a nations economy with less workers. The negative impact will be too great for too long with only the benefit of a stable population demographic (Most developed coutries have a very slow population growth atm anyway..).
IMO, more research should be done into underwater establishment and living in space..(See you future point).
However I agree that there should be some restrictions, two children max would be a good idea (and give benefits to those who have only one).
Quote: 11)
That is way too right wing, while I definately think it gets a bit much sometimes, freedom of choice should never be restricted. The **** (edit: wtf Na$i is banned?) is strong in this one..
Quote: ..a single unified government would be nice
Although it would be VERY tough, a unified government would make this world such a better place.
So how do you fix the world?
Well you cant! Someone, somewhere will be wronged and theres no "fair" way to do it..The current world isnt all that bad really, (besides the ignorant race hate crimes and prejuice, plus all of the immoral implications of capitalism, dictorships etc) it could be ALOT worse. EVE history

You got that wrong, people want to be in control and make lots of money while not being taxed and thus they create some crap where through well thought out and repeated indoctrination they get their followers.

So that should be banned not religion. Unfortunately psychotic extremists give religion a bad name, hence we see so many "ban religion" posts

For 90% of religious people it is "hi, I'm going to subscribe to this philosophical and moral standpoint which will hopefully make me a better person in life"
For 10% it is "hi, I'm going to be a total **** and adhere to a bunch of raving old men that were born 3000 years ago"
Religion is fine for sane people who realize that the Bible (or Quaran or what have you) is a guideline written by a bunch of imperfect people. The nutters give the rest a bad name.

Sure, but for those that do cling to it, for most of them, it does them more good than harm.
If you ignore the more zany, wacky bits (as every religious person with a bit of common sense does), all religions have one thing in common; they tell you not to be a **** to your fellow man.

If people would be really honest about it (which ofcourse will never happen), how many actually think "well, if he DOES exist and I can save my a$$/soul/reward after life by doing some rituals right now then I'd opt for that. If it turns out he doesn't afterall, nothing much is lost."
Fear, uncertainty and self preservation are very strong motivators if some old men in official looking clothes tell you "BELIEVE OR BURN FOREVER!", if only as a 'just in case' scenario.

Have it your way, but IMO atheism is one of the worst kinds of pesimism. Ban atheism! 
edit: Yes you may say "No, its logic, realism, etc" But I still think one can be logical without being an atheist (how many people including scientists in the world do you think are atheists?) EVE history

Most people who are religious aren't religious because a bunch of old dudes tell them that they will burn in hell if they don't, believe it or not.
