If you were president..

[Easykill]

Prepare for about five years; re-allocate land to minimize conflict, train every human to be almost entirely self-sufficient and combat-worthy(mostly just martial arts), set up all kinds of defensible settlements and many, many schoolstraining facilities of different specialization and level, declare complete government control in the towns, introduce a special code of laws in the training facilities, make education to as high as possible free, and discounted at an inverse rate of the specification of the course taken.

Now, declare almost complete government indifference over what happens outside the safe zones; only excepting the removal of political/military organizations large enough to pose a threat to the government.

Hopefully, this will result in the most wonderful of things; sustainable Anarchy with the choice between liberty and control, independence and dependence, negative and positive liberty. Probably not, I don't know much about politics, but it would be a good enough experiment to warrant it anyway. It'll fall apart pretty quick if it doesn't work; and we still have the good of re-allocated land and truly universal education. Yeah, I'm serious.

 

[The Iron Ninja]

If you were president of America, in-fact, THE WORLD.

I really hope you're not insinuating that they are the same thing.
'Cause if you are
*shakes fist*

Enslave the entire human race with legions of warrior crabs.

 

[goodman528]

Grab as much money as I can.

 

[Bored Tomatoe]

Form an empire over the universe, and have a pacemaker attached to my heat, so when it stops beating, the millions of Hydrogen bombs that I had placed on every planet would explode.

 

[Bored Tomatoe]

Enslave the entire human race with legions of warrior crabs.

Yes.......yes.......do that........NOW!

 

[Crudler]

-Establish my own Praetorian guard (hey, I need my protection).

Most of the assassinations on the Emperors were carried out by the Praetorian guard I might add, might want to keep an eye on them, the sly buggers.

Me, I'd probably have to try and do the best job I could.
Would make idiocy a crime though.

 

[LewsTherin]

Common sense/respect/decency is law, failure to comply is punishable by EXTREME discomfort and unpleasantness.

English will be spoken/typed/written/etc. in a GRAMMATICALLY CORRECT manner.

Everyone gets to read the Wheel of Time. And some Oscar Wilde.

Organized government is dissolved.

My work here is done.

 

[Easykill]

Organized government is dissolved.

Yay!

 

[Dogeman5]

If I were a president... I'd be FDR subtract the whole "let's-hold-all-the japanese-Americans on-a-small-island"

Or my reign would consist of LA being nuked
(making America truly better)

 

[Jobz]

If I were president;

1)Marijuana and prostitution would be legal.

2)American Football would be officially renamed "Handball" or "Rugby For Pansies" (Pansies
because American Footballers wear pads) and real football shall be given back it's rightful
name in the US.

3)The drinking age would be lowered to 18.

4)The age of consent would be lowered to 16.

5)Making anymore of those awful parody movies (Epic Movie, Date Movie etc.) will be
punishable by death.

6)M Night Shamalan will be banned from film making.

7)New hip-hop artists must be approved by me personally or a member of my trusted staff before they can get a record deal. Same goes for new rock bands. Because I'm tired of the talentless fools who get famous these days.

8)Would work closely with Russia and all other countries currently in possession of nuclear arms in order to get rid of them.

9)Medicine would be socialized as it is in every other civilized, intelligent country. Even Cuba, imagine that, the "Most evil country one Earth" has some of the best health care.

10)People must go through an application process before they can wear revealing clothing.

11)Racism, intolerance and bigotry of all forms will be punishable by law.

12)We'd have someone of Middle Eastern descent in the White House *Does presidential peace
sign*

 

[Kunzer]

Resign.

 

[zen5887]

I would freak out.

Leader of the world is a massive job for an 18 year old who knows nothing about politics...

 

[Labyrinth]

Replace all OH&S safety notification laws with one: "A sign with the label "Common Sense" must be displayed at all risk-related locations and activities." then watch Darwin dance happily.

Also, I'd completely remove all nuclear weapons, then set to work on the world economy and social structure.

 

[Eiseman]

Knowing full well that I have nowhere near what it takes to lead my country, I would have the decency to blow my brains out and let my VP take over (my VP would obviously be Jack Bauer).

 

[John Galt]

1. Nationalize the fuck out of industries deemed necessary for the survival of my nation. Put a set of cronies in charge. Establish secret police to watch and control said cronies.
2. Bring back corporal punishment along with Fondant's ideas on justice. Possibly televised executions or even gladiator fights
3. Create a strong national pride through rallies, propaganda, and other media-outlets. Make a point to eliminate racial/religious differences. Nationality will become the new standard of division.
4.Alter educational curriculum to include my nationalist views. Use education system to emphasize technical knowledge over to liberal arts. Hardly anything taught in most schools will help later on.
5. Tax religious property and make sure that their teachings don't delve into anti-American sentiments.
6. Monitor immigration tightly in order to take only those able to actively contribute economically.
7. Pull military out of foreign nations. Eliminate foreign aid. Prepare for possible annexation of Mexico or Canada.
8. Use Keynesian policies in order to slowly steer the US economy towards autarky.
9. Fund a massive nuclear energy expansion in order to secure energy independence.
10. Revert to a streamlined, one party system in order to trim out most of the bureaucracy.

 

[whoops1995]

if i became the president of the world(cue "hail to the chief" music).....
We'd all be doomed.

 

[DeusFps]

1) Enslave humanity
2) Have them build me a pc the size of Russia
3) Have them all run in hamster wheels to power it
4) GAMEEE!!!

John, I respect you, and it can be very entertaining to read your twisted ideas, but you really are, as I occasionally forget, Twisted. I can only hope we never see your Utopia.

 

[Spinozaad]

I'd read and apply Macchiavelli's Il Principe really well.
