It would be cool if the people could choose a president by voting

[beardo]

I think it would be pretty cool if each person in the U.S. who is a citizen could vote on who we want to lead our country and then have those votes counted and the person who had the most people vote for him becomes president.

 

[BendBrewer]

Al Gore LIKES this..

 

[PussymOneyWeed]

yeah and this is how oprah or some other retarded celebrity would end up president.

 

[wiseguy316]

[Corso312]

i have never voted in my life in federal or state elections..doubt i ever will..i refuse to waste one minute out of my day to vote for some scumbag piece of garbage... until there is a legit 3rd party this nation will be controlled by the greediest scum on the planet

 

[bengrowin]

choise? americans have no choise. not to mention that most" not all" are not smart enough to figure out whats actually best for them and the country. You americans need to change the way your government works.
1. your money should be printed by your government NOT some company that charges you for the money, which makes NO sence
2. you cannot spend more than you make.
3. credit should be limited so people learn to live within thier means.
4. you should have a round table governement comprised of, scientists, doctors, architects, mathematicians, farmers etc
5. Professional atheletes will pay a 10% "grow sport tax" which is used for developing healthy youth sports. The owners of the professional teams will pay 12.5%
6. Stop destroying other countries and making enemies, when you can be educating and making friends.
7. Put the people that are in prison to work, digging ditches, cleaning garbage, picking vegtables etc, this will help develop skills and help control violent acts and many many other positives
8. All corporations that cause harm to the enviroment will have much higher taxes that will directly pay for developing alternative energy sources as well as improving the ones that have already been developed.
9. Put a proper education system in place. the kids now a days are dumb--really dumb. they need to be taught- finances, what money actually is. They need to learn more life skills in school, maybe learning how to speak properly. Pys-ed should be mandatory at every grade level as well as 1 extra ciricular activity per term. Proper science and math is also lacking.
10. It doesnt matter its too late now. The game is over.

you didnt need a president you needed a fukn leader.

it would also be really cool if the strongest country in the world knew why JFK was killed.
its amazing to think that many countries that have gone through terrible dictatorships but still were mature enough to confront the crimes against humanity that happened during a coup d'etat or general repression

i like most of ur points pacfanx

We have no choice, our government is in place to provide the illusion of freedom of choice.

But you can pick democrat or republican, oh wait they're both idiots. You get to "choose" from two of their choices

 

[Kevro]

if ron paul does not win, im moving, probably to Australia or Canada.

 

[DaBong]

Al Gore agrees with you.

 

[racerboy71]

[Hepheastus420]

[beardo]

its funny im sure there are people that think thats actually how the president is chosen

I'm actually really suprised I didn't get a bunch of people trying to tell me this is how our system works

 

[Winter Woman]

That would be tyranny by the masses. Not a good idea.

How about you only get to vote if you've paid your taxes?

 

[beardo]

That would tyranny by the masses. Not a good idea.

How about you only get to vote if you've paid your taxes?

sounds good to me
can we add that only people not working for tax dollars get to vote? no public sector voters?

 

[GreatwhiteNorth]

I'm not sure if that would work - hell, half of our congressmen & senators would be ineligible if that were the case.

that is exactly why there is no choise. its not about people and countries, its about corporations and profits. too many people think we live in this fairy tale world with sunshine and lolipops, but the truth is that everything is controled by wealth. wealth = power. The richest and most powerfull people in the world call the shots. They make the rules, you can put whoever you want in government and it wont matter. Even if you are for the people like kenedy you have no chance to change anything. Just like your fake osama story, oh we shot him in the head and threw him in the ocean, ok, and now the good men in the group that suposedly killed osama were all killed in a shoot down this past week? really.. doesnt everything seem a little tooo obvious americans? the people on this forum seem to be some of the only people that can see the problems and actaully have the balls to speak about them.

and both are controlled by the same special interest groups and corporations
