I agree. What country wouldn’t be better if all the girls were prettier! At least at closing time. ~D
But seriously I will have to think on this one. Too many easy answers to blurt out.

A higher percentage of people who give a rat's patoot -- even if they oppose my views. I am repulsed by self-selected ignorance and the tendency to revel in the trivial to the exclusion of other matters. I too enjoy a little salacious gossip, but pah-lease......

Restoration of the Empire.
National service for 2 years, or public service for 3 years, after which the subject is granted the right to vote.
allowing all lords to take their rightful seat in parliament.
less party-orientated politics, more freedom to the candidate.
Going back to the previous style of local councils, with a local provost and council for each town.

I don't see at as Anti-Mexican. I see it as quite hazardous for border jumpers, but if you don't think all Mexicans are border jumpers or that all border jumpers are Mexicans, it's not Anti-Mexican.

well here goes...
1. Reformat the education system so that the same thing is taught to everyone everywhere in the country and if some schools need more help teaching the kids then they get it. (I have plenty of suggestions for this :whip: )
2. Reform our judicial system and eliminate the red tape. It literally takes years to be captured tried and convicted and then the appeals… The punishment and reform system needs a tweak too. Much harsher penalties and less jail time. And those who can truly be reformed need to be given the opportunity.
3. I think the reallocation of defeated enemies assets should be practiced with more zeal. By the military (oil, wealth, etc.) and the police (drug dealers money, assets, etc.). Call it plunder if you like.
4. Larger military, sure it is strong now but we lack depth. “Our Boys” need a holiday and there is no one to replace them. Soldiers being gone for so long make them unhappy and their families back home real unhappy. To keep the people happy I think a shorter cycle time would go along way.
5. Strengthen our information network. It seems like the media knows more about our enemies than the gov. does. There is no way something like 911 should happen with an effective network of spies.
6. A flat tax should be in place. With no discounts to anyone for anything. Close off some of those offshore account tax loopholes too.
7. I also think that the Government should play a bigger role in “Big Picture” thinking and leave the "daily" stuff to the people. Limiting the power of big businesses, social security, environmental concerns, foreign policies (like why are we sending sooo much work to China when they are potentially our biggest military threat?), etc. I read too often how some politician has taken up some barley important crusade to save a “historic” house in a slum or to allow patrons to bring their own bottled water to the amusement park. I say focus your energy on the important things; anyone can protest the amusement park but how many people can really work towards fixing social security.
8. We should set up a system where people living in overpopulated areas are encouraged to move to areas that could take advantage of more people/larger workforce. Less people packed into a small area would lower crime in those areas.
9. Make voting more fair to productive members of society. Can only vote if you have graduated HS, you get an extra vote if you have a degree or were in the military, and an extra vote if you are a home owner, etc. and you cant vote if you owe back taxes or are a felon, etc. Just ideas, don’t know if they are the best but something to make a better citizens vote more important or to encourage being better informed about what is being voted on.
10. And finely the human mousetrap. As a society we have basically gotten rid of survival of the fittest and natural selection. We have no natural predators so the stupid, week and just plain durh can breed, we have an over population of durh and need to control it. I suggest we put into effect a human sized mouse trap that has a 20 dollar bill in it and consider anyone caught in it so durh that they shouldn’t be around to durh up the gene pool. (Just kidding, well sort of ~D )

The death of just about every politician in government right now, as pretty much all of them are corrupt. Then, someone who actually wnats to make anything out of the country should be made leader, and given full authority. Also, mark PETA members as traitors, and have them executed, if they try to protest for animal rights within the country's borders.

More drinking water. Seriously.
More local investment into infrastructure.
More local investment into industry instead of minmal job creating investments like real estate.
Buy more localised produce.
Get rid of political parties. Vote for politicans based on individual merit, as opposed to party rhetoric.
I'd definitely include that one for my country too.
Also
Dissolution of the Act of Union
Exit from the EU
Entry into a new Northern European trade block (Scandinavia, Holland, Germany, former UK countries... not France)
Better roads
Absolutely no state support for religion (no faith schools etc)
Better hostpitals
Better schools
More investent in green technology
Less short-termism
Smaller more dynamic armed forces (combined army, navy, airforce)
Sensible foriegn policy (not always following the US)
An end to yobbishness
Slashing the welfare state (but retaining free-ish healthcare)
Oh yes and lots of Brazilian babes! (not that they'd want to come here after what happened recently!)

Apart from the free beer and legalizing 'soft' drugs, I'd make Johnny Prescott the head of state, if only for the comic value of his mangling of the English language. ~:) ....
Here, as a warning, are 10 of Mr Prescott's fiercest assaults on the English language:
1 "I would like to make some start in my speech."
2 "The city of York already is a city, as is my own city of Hull is a city, and that I think is the definition of city and town."
3 "It's not the sanity of the picket lines that bothers me, it's the sanity of human life."
4 "On housing and charities you have difficulties about the financing of long-term finances affecting those housing, very real problems and I'm sure that we agree with them, but it was good for conference but it wasn't much action, it was an awful lot of getting the conference going, yes I will give way."
5 "The agreement is taking place. I tell him properly that if his judgement to make a judgement on the public interest and the safety of the community. That is not my judgement, it is the judgement given to the Attorney General."
6 "On the other hand, when I look at the urban cities and I look at how we use our money, there are issues where the need to buy issues, quite frankly, and it's bought at a price and a very discounted price, which we all agreed to be doing, but then it's sold at a very high price back to the state when they want to do something about improvements. Well, that's costing us literally millions of pounds."
7 "For the first time hypothecating any real increase in fuel duty to roads and public transport and I invite them to say if this hypothecation they are compared to adopt it."
8 "I think that we are prepared to tolerate that, because it's not a policy difference only, it's all those peoples who haven't got homes, the doctors and nurses, the people who are in homeless, they're the ones who've been carrying the pain for that."
9 "If I decide it is right to make a statement to this house, that's what I do, that's what I have done, and it didn't come from anybody else."
10 "The objectives remain the same and indeed it has been made clear by the prime minister in his speech yesterday that the objectives are clear, and the one about the removal of the Taliban is not something we have as a clear objective, it is, but is, but is possibly a consequence that as the Taliban clearly giving protection to Bin Laden and the UN resolution made it absolutely clear that anyone who finds them in that position declares themselves as an enemy and that clearly is a matter for these objectives."

Jessica Alba
...only if she went back to being a brunette. Peroxide should be outlawed.
Winter to be colder, summer to be hotter, and less cloud at all times. A better football team. Fewer cars, provided I could still have one. Better trains. Gassing all grey squirrels, so the nice native red ones can come back. Staying on BST all year round and to hell with Scottish postmen, buy torches if you have to. Teaching Spanish rather than French in school. Banning advertising during childrens programmes. Making an hour of sport a day part of the school curriculum. Making it illegal to use the phrase "its political correctness gone mad". In fact, hell, making the Daily Mail illegal. 500% tax on all package holidays and budget flights, in the hope Europe might forget what barbarians we all are.
That's enough for now.
Beruit's idea is fine too.
Make sure everyone was loyal and patriotic in Britian, if you dont claim allegiance to the Union Jack, you will be shot our kicked out of the country even if you arent and Immigrant/asylm seeker.
Blimey I'd better buy a bullet proof vest then... there was a time when I would have sworn allegiance to the Union Flag but now I'd only make an oath to the cross of St George.

what changed this?
Time I suppose.
For me the country (Britain) is stale and uninspired - still suffering post imperial blues I suppose. I think that ending the union would invigorate its component parts - all of them, but especially England. Give us back a sense of purpose.
Also the current British government has played a large part in changing my views. Scottish and Welsh parliaments...that's fine. What about England? No English parliament? This is not an oversight - it's a conspiracy. "Crazy Frog" Prescott's lunatic plans to carve up England too - thankfully the good old Geordies gave him a poke in the bulgey eye on that one. But don't be surprised if they try to find another way.
And the at the end of the day (and at the beginning) I'm English first, and proud of it. Ask any Scot or Welsh person...90% of them would call themselves Scottish or Welsh first and British second. The Englsh should get real, get up to date and start doing the same thing.
So whilst I still have enormous respect for the Union Flag, I'd only swear to the heart of it. Bring on the revolution, bring on the velvet divorce.
IMO ;)

So would be happy if Britian was reistabilsed to her former self as the greatest empire on Earth, i most certainley would, what really makes me angry is that we have muslim preachers of hate in the UK and nothing is done about them, that makes me sick literaly.
We're straying off topic here - but no. There's no point hankering after the past. Let's face it people prefer self determination. All I want is that for England too.
We've done the empire thing, and done it rather well but it's history.
In terms of muslim preachers that hate the UK - something should be done. Charles Clarke is muttering about actually doing something - at least about the foreign born one's anyway:

Ace. ~:cool:
As for Holland, politicians with some backbone would be most welcome. A more effective legal system, without all this crap about 'I'm so sorry for killing this poor bloke for no reason outside a club' getting a lower term in prison. In general the bureaucracy of Holland, while being something of a cliché among Dutch political rhetoric, is of ridiculous proportions, and needs an extremely stringent overhaul. More willingness for various groups (Muslims being one example) to take part in the decision-making process, rather than claiming it's not their problem; the current administration isn't doing much to promote this, and is partially their fault. Less political apathy among the Dutch.
And most obviously, an end to this pathetic government of Balkenende. Please put it out of it's misery...

Well you have foreign British citizens and just plain foreigners.
Things that would make my country better?
Re-introduction of corporal punishment for schools and misdemeanours. No more of this ASBO crap. Just give the little darlings a good hiding. Adults making these same crimes will be publicly flogged.
Have a Public Decency Act passed. All newspaper articles, books, plays, songs, and scripts must first be reviewed by the Office of the Lord Chamberlain prior to being transmitted to the public. Anything which contains obsceneties (I think BKS should be in charge of that ~;) ), glorification of crime or violence shall be censored. Public adverts with indecently dressed men and women will be censored.
Kaiser of Arabia
08-24-2005, 19:55
My suggestions?
No political parties, [well one, my party (The National Capitalistic Party of Kaiser ~D)]
A stronger, more powerful standing army based off of the principals set forth by such great minds as Heinz Guderian and Erich von Manstein,
No gun laws, other than restrictions on age of course,
Use the national guard to patrol the southern boarders with authorization to use force, and if nessissary, lethal force against any illegals found,
The immediate deportation of all illegal immigrants, using force if nessissary,
The end of the Welfare State,
The destruction of mandentory bilingual education in schools. Also, if schools chose to teach multiple languages, they must teach all of the following:
Italian
German
Spanish
Latin
Russian
Japanese
Polish
French
Gaelic...
... and/or offer programs where a student can pursue their interest in a foreign language/culture on school time without political correctness or affirmative action prohibiting them,
and end to Affirmative Action and Political Correctness,
a cap on all legal immigration,
The Death sentance shall be mandentory for all of the following crimes:
Murder 1st or 2nd degree,
Rape
Drug Trafficing
Drug Pushing/Solicitation
Assault on a Military Member of Police Officer with intent to kill,
Conscription for all fit men over the age of 20, with the option to serve in a locally founded militia instead of the organized military force,
An emphisis on and government support for local militia in case of an assault on the nation,
A withdrawl from the UN and the severing of all relations with any Communist nations,
Support for an Independant Taiwan; recognition of the PRC as a Rogue State,
Complete and Total Industrialization of many rural areas in the Midwest,
Stricter laws on Drugs and other controlled substances,
Censorship of all Communist literature,
Abolition of the Supreme Court, to be replaced with a more trustworthy local court system,
A maximum of one appeal per prisoner,
The change of the Stars and Stripes to the Stars and Bars, a true American Flag,
An emphisis that Non-Citizens do not have the same rights as Citizens; they can be censored and ejected from the United States at the descretion of the US Government,
Non-US Born American Citizens and natural Citizens are both citizens of the United States, and therefore shall have the exact same rights in all categories,
While the seperation of Church and State is to be respected, so is the fact that Freedom of Religion is not Freedom from Religion and religious symbols may freely be shown in public places at the descretion of the shower,
Prayre is not to be restricted nor encouraged in public schools,
An emphisis on synthetic oil, instead on such calamaties as "smart cars,"
Abortion is to be illegal except in cases where the mother's life is endanger, or rape/incest,
While the actions of a person in the privacy of their own home is between themself and God, if done in public, it effects the nation as a whole; any public displays of Homosexuality, in the form of "Pride Day" and "Gay Pride" parades is to be outlawed,
and finally, the United States of America shall outlaw any forms of outsourcing, and demand that companies that have already outsourced jobs bring the jobs back into our nation.
