I hope you haven't fallen for this age-old trick and actually clicked on the link.
However, if you have, welcome. This is where ideas, plans, and dreams are built.

Sorry if that ruined your system...

Aw well. Some places just set up the prewrapped stuff early before a main business time, so at least it avoids that.

Unfortunately, the other patrons will have to fend for themselves.

The literal Hunger Games.

Anyway, as an attempt to change the topic, what type of government system/structure would you like to live in? What type would you like to lead? What would be the worst to live in? The worst to lead?

I'd like to live under a monarchy. I'd like to lead a monarchy. The worst to live in would be a Communist system. The worst to lead would be a republic.

but then the people could get mad, attack your castle and kill you. Its hard to rule a monarchy when your dead so if I were you I would make your goverment type a type (i forget what its called) the kind where people vote (like USA)

I like your idea, Mr. Mav. I will allow this discussion to run as it will where it will and see where we get to.


Heh heh. So this is like a free-flowing discussion thread where nothing is off-topic. Genius. heh heh.

Yeah monarchy would just be the coolest to live under and lead.

but then the people could get mad, attack your castle and kill you.


Only if you were a miserable, unfair, and cruel king. Of course, I would make the perfect king, and no one would have to overthrow me.

Its hard to rule a monarchy when your dead


True. But you wouldn't be dead if you were a good king.

so if I were you I would make your goverment type a type (i forget what its called) the kind where people vote (like USA)


You mean democracy? Yeah it's kinda nice. But seeing as how the country is in a 15,220,000,000,000 dollar debt, I don't think it's working too well.

I totally agree with Afterburner. I'd be a good queen. No one would want to overthrow me. And no one would want to attack me because they'd be dead already. Everyone else would be my allies.

Yeah, I'm wondering... I've just about given up with this govt. too.

I quote Abraham Lincoln now:
Our republican robe is soiled, and trailed in the dust. Let us repurify it. Let us turn and wash it white, in the spirit, if not the blood, of the Revolution.

why not a sudo futuristic, utopian, wild west, marshal law, no one is in charge, but everyone looks out for each other. needs a super villain, someone for everyone to unite against, you know, like megamind without the turning good bit, and no metroman, walking on water is so 3rd century. somewhere where everybody knows your name, but you can change it whernever you want, where the girls hair color is always changing, where i can go get a taco and a beer without having to exchange money into pesos. i mean who decided america needs cars, to heck with cars, everyone rides motorcycles, or horses. and what is this public school system, lets make it international, and let anyone who wants to learn, learn. jobs, jobs suck these days, can we get a job for everyone? everyone gets to work, and money ,i don't think money is doing a good job anymore, we need to bring back dubloons, arr.

Yes, I like the lawless, everyman for himself kind of society. We should go back to it.

Yayyy... When people agree with me, it makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside.

That's pretty genius actually. But a monarchy would still be better.

i mean who decided america needs cars, to heck with cars, everyone rides motorcycles


DUDE YES! I was think the exact same thing yesterday. But I was thinking: "Oh wait, what about little kids that can't drive motorcycles?" . Then I remembered one word: "Sidecars" ... Then I thought: "Well what if someone needs to move from like one house to another?" Then I came up with a solution: Rental trucks. Just big ol' trucks that you can rent when you need to do some big transporting. But other than that... motorcycles FTW!

and what is this public school system, lets make it international, and let anyone who wants to learn, learn.


Yeah school is a suck. How about I go to the local library and learn about what profession I want to enter, rather than do school and study in all the assorted, random, and pointless subjects that don't interest me? The world would be much more efficient if people concentrated in one specific, occupational field. Because not only would they be really good at it because they have studied it for their whole lives, but since they chose the subject, they would strive to be better at what they do.

But then I thought to myself: "Oh wait, if we let kids choose what they want to do, they'll probably all say that they'll want to be astronauts and racecar drivers." So the kids will obviously need a little guidance, but that can be provided by parents. Then I thought: "Oh wait, kids are still going to need to know basic grammar and arithmetic, so how are they going to learn that?" Then I thought of two words, or maybe it's one word, or maybe it's hyphenated, anyway:

Home school. ... I've been homeschooled for my whole life, and look at me. Have I made a single punctuation error in this whole wall o' text? Maybe. But only one or two if any. Now go browse around the forums and read a few posts... I'm sure you'll be able to tell who the public-schoolers are pretty quickly. ... So I think once a kid has passed like maybe 6th or 7th grade and they have a fair understanding of basic grammar and math, that's when they can decide for themselves.

Example: My older brother has been studying computers ever since... It might be the 6th grade, but I'll have to ask him... Ever since he was in the 6th grade, he began checking out books from the library about computer programming, and he subscribed to the magazine called "PC world". Ever since then, he's taught himself to be an expert computer programmer, technician, and general computer-maintenance type-guy. He got an internship at a big software company when he was just 16 years old and got paid 20$ an hour. He's also built my family a super-powerful computer that's capable of running any game at maximum detail. And he's now at collage majoring in computer science, and he's gotten straight A's in first semester because he's a friggin' genius. Oh, and I forgot to mention that he even started kindergarten when he was 4 years old instead of 5 because he's just that smart. And since he's a grade ahead, he went to college at age 17 instead of 18 and he still got nuthin' but A's.
-
Now I'm not nearly as smart as he is because I wasn't able to find my talent as quick as he did. But I have, in fact, found my talent and it's writing fiction books. As you can see in my old thread here. And please don't necro it. If you want to talk to me about it, comment on my profile. But anyway. I'm writing it out into a full book. I have 12 chapters done already and I hope to get it published before the end of the year. And I'm gonna make millions!!! But anyway...

Maverick4, your video was hilarious! XD So yeah... I think that demonstrates anarchy is not the best solution...... P.S. when your whole post is a link, that's considered impersonating a mod.

yay, i contributed, had a dream like that last night, post apocalyptic, old west society living in trees and burnt out buses/airplanes. trading supplies, killing raiders and zombies. its always been my dream, i live on 80 acres in the mountains of southern oregon. been preparing for armageddon for years. ever since my parents split up and, for some reason, gave me everything. so now i have a wood mill, a backhoe, a metal shop, a forge, misc. wood tools, and 80 acres to build my underground fortress on. all i need now is visionaries, and helpers, i have my wife but she is always taking care of the kids. can't wait for them to be older so they can help as well.

That's quite an interesting dream there... I'm not exactly sure how to follow-up with that... but okay. So do you mean like dream as in something you had while you were sleeping, or dream as in what you think would be the most enjoyable life?

anarchy is not possible, as soon as two people meet and create rules it is not longer anarchy. anarchy means no rules so everyone must live on his/her own to have no rules or at last rules that only fits for themself.

i have a new idea for a rpg. i call it "in the middle of the eye". if you are interested, pn me, i have not the time to host it.
