This.. is just beautiful. I.. I might cry a tear of joy.

No, but on a slightly more serious note... I don't think I can be serious after this post. Thank you

EDIT: Took me a million tries, but the system stopped being stupid.

Thank you. I quite enjoy making jokes on this thread.

[Strykyh]

USA

Economic issues:
-Raise taxes on anyone that makes $1,000,000+ to 90%
-Lower Taxes on the middle class and poor to 15%
-Introduce heavy regulations on financial institutions and punish harshly if they don't follow the law
-Encourage free trade
-Make churches pay taxes
-Raise minimum wage significantly

Can't disagree there.

Domestic issues:
-Establish a healthcare system based on Britain's NHS
-Legalize all soft and hard drugs drugs. Regulate and tax
-Legalize prostitution. Regulate and tax
-Legalize euthanasia
-Decrease politicians salaries and cut their benefits
-Establish term limits for all elected politicians
-Abolish the Electoral College
-Make all higher education free of charge
-Cut defense spending in half
-Legalize gay marriage

Yes! Except the term limits one. That I don't believe in.

-Recognize the Republic of China

Strykyh y u want to piss off China r u rly masochistic

China can deal with that. If not they would lose a big source of jobs (outsourcing to China gone) and a trading partner.

Glad to see we agree on most everything though.

[Palyfious]

For the USA:

Economic
-Raise taxes to 90% for the higher classes
-Stop supporting manufacturing, increase service industries
-Destroy big banks, reducing from the Big Four to 10 smaller ones.
-Decriminalize Marijuana, impose government regulation
-Invest in new energy (IE wind, solar, tidal, etc)
-Raise taxes on corporations

Domestic
-Reduce military budget
-Increase education and welfare budgets
-Eliminate all parties, parties are now illegal.
-Reduce government corruption
-Limit terms for senators
-Introduce ranked voting method
-Secularize the government, E plurbius unum is the National motto again
-Introduce reforming for criminals, abolish punishment.
-Eliminate death penalty for smaller crimes, death penalty still legal for the most severe crimes

Foreign
-Reduce foreign aid
-Pull out of Afghanistan, Iraq, wherever else.
-Support UN, give them more control

i would vote for you, but it would arguably be better to legalize, regulate, and tax all drugs. in doing so, you will limit the power of the drug lords by decreasing the value of the drugs. in addition, it would reduce violence and loss of life because the people would not be forced to buy it from illegal sources. the taxes made from the drugs could be used to fix america's crumbling infastructure, or even to fund widespread information programs about the dangers of said drugs.

Would you also be in favour of increasing aid to Mexico, and maybe even asking them if they want the USA to send in military forces to help with the Drug War?

[Kemaliste]

Don't take it state political. Yes this problem is over for the state, but not for me personally. And this topic is not about what would we do if we were ruling our country ? so these are my wishes. And yes I'll do my best to make it real if I get the power one day.

And yes, the islands and most of balkan regions majorically consisted of main settlers just because Ottoman Empire never attempted to change the population of the regions expelling, creating fake fires or murdering citizens. Today, there are many '' Turkish immigrants from balkans '' here who were forced to leave their homes or escaped from the chaos at the beginning of 1900s. But balkan people have lived in their own lands since Ottoman rule and they were not touched.

Greek state causes some border violations in Aegea. Some islands that currently belong to us have been captured by Greeks. They put Greek flag there. I can not get angry at them because our government ignores this issue and does nothing. But of course we will give some responses.

Imperialist powers made a '' fait accompli '' in Aegean Islands and Mosul-Kirkuk issues. Those issues should be taken up again imo.

So becuase these area's had minority Turkish populations they should be part of the Turkish state? And I do believe it was not just Turkish settlers who had to flee the Balkans. Plenty of Greeks, Armenians and Jews had to flee from Lnads they had lived for centuries.

If the Balkan peoples lived so peacefully, why would there have been the Nationalist revolts? Many problems in the Balkans. ie Kosovo can be traced to Ottoman times. Part of my family are Greeks who orginated from Izmir but I am not advocating for those area's to become Greek again becuase the population there is Turkish and there would be little point in re igniting a long died conflict in an area as volatile as the Balkans.

I respect the fact that this is your opnion, I am merely discussing it.

Well, Nationalism was a problem for all empires. However much Ottomans would give rights to minorities, they were going to be carried away in the nationalism wind in any way. Before French Revolution, balkan nations lived in peace for 400-500 centuries under Ottoman rule. Their homes, beliefs, life-styles etc. were not touched. We can't expect minorities to be loyal to the state when even Turks get affected from nationalism and revolut against the state. For example, Young Turks. For example, Kemalists. So this can't even be an argument.

And no I don't say that. This is not about population. I just mean that Aegean Islands should belong to Turkey because it's a different situation. We had given them to Italy in WW1 and it was guarenteed that Italy would give them back after WW1. But they've given them to Greeks instead and broke the agreement. It was totally unfair. We just want to take our rights.Turkish people still have a chip on their shoulder about these islands. If a war starts with Greeks, Aegean Islands would be the first ones we'd try to take immediately. It's a pain inside the nation.

I can't accept current situation. You know why, I go to holiday in Bodrum. I see Rhodes, it stands just a few swimming strokes away. But they never let me go there even though It's located in our own waters.

I just want to put an end to this *ullshit. Let Greeks and Turks take the islands that's located in each other's waters. This is a fair solution.

-Don't treat prostitutes as criminals and give them social services not jail. Keep paying for sex illegal though with small fine+education class+ name made public for first offense and higher punishments for subsaquent offenses.
-Sex education in all schools and free condoms/birth control to all. No questions asked.

[Yanitza]

The agreement with the Italians got broken in 1923. With the outbreak of World War one the Italian governemnt kept control of the islands rather than holding onto them, then when they realised they weren't going to get any land in Mainland Turkey in the early 1920s, formally annexed the islands under the treaty of Lausanne and that was recognised by the new Turkish government.

After World War two the islands were given to Greece as reperations for the Italian invasion and attempted anexation of Greece and becuase those islands were predominately Greek. Turkey did not even participate in the war. Any claim of those islands by the Turkish government was lost during Lausanne. You would be able to swim to those island if both states were able to improve thier relations and get rid of the animosty.

What isn't vague and obvious is terrible.

Would you be so kind as to explain what you mean?

[New England and The Maritimes]

What isn't vague and obvious is terrible.

Would you be so kind as to explain what you mean?

"Maintain strong economic growth "- durr, no shit.

"-Establish a work program to reduce the unemplyment rate (which is probably very little)"- err, ok...

"-Tweak the healthcare system such that only the most poorest individuals can get free health-care"- what is this I don't even

"Establish laws to protect the rights of taxi drivers"- huh?

"Ban and criminalize homosexuality"- fuck

"Outlaw all opposition parties"- *head desk head desk head desk head desk*

"Death penalty for all sex offenders"- worst thing to do about it

"Outlaw the usage of drugs" ugh

"Death penalty for anyone who brings in even the slightest amount of drugs into Singapore" you sure like killing people, volunteering to pull the trigger yourself are you?

"Caning for all litterers Caning for spitting in public." what's next, chop off a hand for theft? That's one way to stop crime. There's also the way that works, but hey...

[The Greater Aryan Race]

Unless you have been living in Singapore (which in this case, I must assume you don't), there is a perfectly good reason for my policy of protecting taxi drivers which is this: There has been a recent spate of cases where passengers deliberately avoid paying their fares when their journey is complete or they inflict physical harm on these people. Now there surely is nothing wrong with protecting the rights of these people now is there?

As for my other points on banning and criminalizing homosexuality, I am curious as to why you are singling me out over this matter, there are other supposedly ridiculous proposals being floated around, but why mention me?

Banning opposition political parties is again based on my own personal political convictions. There are plenty of other individuals who also believe in one-party rule.

The death penalty for sex offenders is something which may or may not work but I don't suppose you have a better idea as to clamping down on sexual crimes do you? Then again, I could instead amend it to banning pornography but you're going to lean on me because of that.

The point on the outlawing of the usage of drugs is, I admit, vague at most. I can amend it to include "except for medical use" because the usage of drugs like Cocaine or Heroin for casual use is plain wrong because those things kill.

Bringing in of drugs like Cocaine and Heroin is dangerous because these drugs kill, wreck finances and families as well. Now don't spoon-feed this silly little clap-trap about freedom of choice because I don't buy it. The bringing in of dangerous substances is a crime, plain and simple.

Littering and spitting are uncouth and uncivilised and the current penalties in place are not effectively deterring other people from doing it. So, a change must be facilitated even if it may seem barbaric.

Now I admit that my other proposals may seem vague and ambiguous but I have no intention of writing a HUGE three-page essay. That is for political parties and politicians to do.

Now I don't understand why you have a problem with my proposals, they are simply a representation of my beliefs. Why don't you single out other people for their illogical proposals? If you have a problem then don't visit this panel for goodness sake.

Saw yours first. For the record, everyone else who also believes in banning homosexuals etc is a nonce who should feel bad about themselves.

Banning drugs will do nothing but make it more profitable. Don't see why it's your right to tell other people they're not allowed to hurt themselves.

Death penalty for sex offenders will just make most rapes rape-murders.

Banning the opposition results in either revolution or becoming a shit tip a la the eastern bloc/north fucking korea.

I understand fines for littering, but nobody has a right to hit anybody else aside from self defense.

Why should we allow other people to hurt themselves? Engaging in such self-destructive acts, and then letting these people kill themselves seems like a huge waste to me.

Then what do you propose? Castration? You talk about the offender but what about the victim?

"Nobody has a right to hit anybody else", Singapore hasn't followed that approach and we're doing just fine.

With regards to your point against banning the opposition, I don't see what's so good about having the vote, hasn't worked out for Haiti or the Ivory Coast.

[Euskirribakondara]

Azerbaijan:
1. Economic issues:
-Diversify the economic sectors.
-Stricter control for the foreign corporations
-High tarrifs for the import and low for the exports
-Privatisation and strong support for the private initiative

2. Internal issues
-Put end to the authoritarian government policies
-Change the presidential system with the parliamentary one.
-Purge in all government structures of former communists
-Modernisation of the army
-War with the corruption
-the religous policies will stay the same
-Making the nationalism official doctrine
3. Foreign politics:
-Strong Anti-armenian, anti-russian and anti-iranian policy.
-Full cooperation and federation with our ethnic brothers
-More active contacts with the European Union and Nato.

What do you mean by Anti-Armenian policy? And how are you going to trade if you're surrounded by the Caspian Sea, Iran, Armenia, Russia and Georgia?

[Pirin]

For my motherland Russia

1)I would organize the prices of basic things like food,water etch.Here in Russia you can put every price that you want on your product!

2)Make the Byelorussian-Russian Union true,by force if needed

I propose imprisoning them.

Ahuh singapore also has a healthy natural resource sector and that's allowed them to go mental on their population. Not good anyway.

Meanwhile they were both fucked by dictatorships for the past 50 years. That's democracy in action right?

Why can't I stop them from hurting themselves? Its bad for them. And us, because we are the ones who have to clean up their mess.

Imprisoning? So you are going to expend vital resources on a bunch of sick perverts? Does that bring closure for the victims? I don't think so.

Uh for the record, Singapore has no natural resources, no oil, natural gas etc.

You're asking me? Haiti and the Ivory Coast haven't gotten any better under democracy, they're still pretty messed up.

Not really. Families pay for funerals.

Yeah generally when people break the law you lock them up for their safety and the safety of any potential victims, then release them when professionals have declared they are not a risk to public safety.

Fairly sure they have offshore oil. Even then, they're a bunch of dicks who treat people like animals.

Yeah, thanks to continuing political violence and nobody really giving a fuck about them in Ivory Coast's case, and a series of natural disasters followed by the implosion of their economy in Haiti's.

And therefore, to help their poor families, stop these people from hurting themselves.

And who's to say they won't re-offend again? How can you be so sure that after they are released, they won't commit it again?

I can't help but laugh myself hoarse when I read this: Fairly sure they have offshore oil. No offence but you really need to boost your general knowledge. We have no natural resources, except for people. Yeah these people who "treat people like animals" have ensured that I can walk the streets in the middle of the night without fear of being robbed/raped/beaten. That I can live in a nice clean home. Yeah, I have these people to thank for that.
