no way

get some of the meatheads from H&F to run things. That way if they disagree, they can box for it!
CSPAN might see some good ratings.


"I would now like to directly address the jaws and temples of the candidate from Peripherals."

"We'll see about that. Afterward, we'll discuss health care policy, so that we can mend the Console Gaming mod's shattered collarbone."

I picture the mods more like the Shadow government.

The "elected" figureheads and mouthpieces are allowed free reign until they cross they unspoken line. Then they are taken to the woodshed for some discipline.

And some are never heard from again.

Sort of like the AARP is today.

• The government would be shut down every weekend for maintenance

• Every citizen who violated there "rules" would receive infractions and warnings, once someone received 7 or more them, they be deported to Canada.

• Any citizen who discusses piracy or illegal downloads would be deported.

There be a lot more, but i don't want to piss off the mods... er government.

There rules? Where rules?

Grammar scofflaws shall be sentenced to 15 years at hard labor in the nearest Federal PMITA prison.
Those too fucking lazy to learn the proper rules of grammar and spelling are obviously NOT suitable to live among us.

(Boomer quickly runs spell check.)

Let us not forget...FREE HOOKERS AND BLOW FOR EVERYONE!

But, in the words of the late, great Pat Paulsen...(and the late General William Tecumseh Sherman) "If nominated, I will not run. If elected, I will not serve."

It would be the first non smoking theocratic fascistic communistic socialist republic. All travel would be by bicycle. Nobody white would be allowed to serve in office, but would be allowed to commit any hate crime without punishment. All foods except pan seared kobe, gourmet ramen, and 30 course sushi would be outlawed. Guns would be illegal, but shooting someone in self defense would be rewarded equivalent to winning the lottery. The highest paid job in the country would be cashier at mcdonalds. Coffee would be served at a temperature not exceeding 99 degrees. Daily marijuana use would be mandatory.

There would be an appointed position called The Tzar or Thor, and they would carry a literal Ban Hammer.

Also FuzzyBabbyBunny would rule over the government run Press Corp. (from his car of course, we would just have to put a nice USA sticker on the door)

That's a pretty comprehensive list, but what about immigration? Would visas be paid for in ipods?

Everyone can come in whenever they want, but they can only work on organic farms at pay scales that ensure an ample supply of cheap, grass-fed beef.

Nothing would be different because the members here all have widely different views on the issues.

Debates and hearings would consist of endless puns and everything would be heavily taxed save for computer hardware, hookers, and blow.

There was a similar thread many moons ago about an ATOT community/city. It was considerably more upbeat.

Hey, don't blame me, I still think it might be better than the current government. We do have a lot of smart people as members, especially when you consider all those smart enough to just lurk.

Moderators/Admins? You mean slave laborers to be presidents?

Well, if you think about it, it's somewhat similar in our current government. Let's face it, public doesn't pay the politician SHIIIT compare to what CEOs of companies make.

No wonder they all work for Corps......

My slogan would be "F free health care, free porn for all." And my first act as commander in chief would be to establish a federal fapping agency.

I picture it like this:

- All cookware will be banned in favor of cast iron pans
- TV will be outlawed because nobody watches it
- Death squads for movie producers that fail to entertain us
- Segregation between those with beans in their chili and those without

Did I miss any?

Constitutional amendment - "thou shalt tip 40%"

There would be public executions in the center of the village where people would cheer and celebrate those being executed.
