TweetI've got a lot of respect for klash after seeing his posts in this thread. You seem to have your head on pretty straight bud. I see eye to eye with you on basically 100% of what you said.
Daved sorry bro, he's right about the dog fighting meaning you don't support freedom. I only say that because I have the same argument with my mother all the time. She always says they need to ban people like howard stern from the air because kids might hear it and because it's inappropriate. I always explain that it would be a violation of freedom of speech, that it's not the governments job to be parents that's the parents job, and if you don't like what you hear you have the freedom to turn the damn knob!
It's basically like this. If you like chocolate ice cream but hate vanilla so much you think it should be made illegal, and at the same time I love vanilla ice cream but hate chocolate ice cream so much I think it should be banned....what would happen? See everything will offend someone somewhere. What might offend you, might not offend the next guy. If we were to make laws to cater to what everyone likes, dislikes, or gets offended by virtually everything would be illegal. That is the problem today. The majority of americans are hipocritical. They'll pick on drunk drivers then go do it themselves. They pick on fat people then have a triple whopper. People don't practice what they preach.

Now if I were to run for president it would be like this.......
Illegal immigrants would all be immediately deported. Upon their extradition a Giant wall would be constructed to prevent them from re-entering this country illegally. If you came here by boat and make it to shore, you don't get citizenship. You get deported.
Insurance companies would not be able to create special insurance pools for certain states (cough..Florida....cough) so they can rape the citizens and drive 90% of the people out of the state or into poverty / bankruptcy.
Taping conversations would be legal if it's between the two parties making the call. Basically you wouldn't have to warn the person you are going to tape the call. If they don't want what they said taped, maybe they should watch what they say. This would promote more honesty and catch scumbags that like to lie.
There would be two types of prisons. Violent crime prisons & white collar crime type prisons. I don't feel that someone that breaks a traffic law deserves to be in jail with murderers and rapists. Doing so may turn a otherwise decent individual into a complete anarchist & criminal.
There would be no such thing as censorship, however there would be a rating system. Each station, program would have to abide by the rating standards or be fined extreme amounts of money. If the company chooses to put certain content on their station, that would be their freedom. However they then would have to abide by that rating they chose and not exceed it's allowable content. This would shut whiny parents up that their kids are seeing stuff that they shouldn't. If they were it would 100% be the parents fault!
All our troops home from every country in the world. We don't need to be world peace.
IRS........SEE YA! There would be one national tax (decided by the citizens) and the state tax would be voted on each year by the citizens of that state.
Guns would be legal, as well as bulletproof vests. Trust me when the DC sniper was out and I was a driver for a cabinet company I sure wished I was able to buy a bulletproof vest.
Companies would have to take people to a special credit court if they wanted to put something on their credit report. This garbage where the company is considered right and you are a liar is bogus. That's not innocent until proven guilty. They just assume our guilt.
There would be 1 company and you can access your report and credit score anytime you choose. IT'S YOUR REPORT. WHY THE HELL ISN'T IT THIS WAY ALREADY??!!
9/11 would be reinvestigated by independent sources. Any government officials found involved would be immediately executed by the families that lost a loved one to that tragedy!
Martial arts would be considered part of our curriculum. I'd want a close combat, and regular style taught. Therefore people would be able to defend themselves better against criminals and bullies! Also women would be able to fend off attackers better.
Vaccines would be eliminated! Then you can watch the ADD/ADHD/ and autism rates become almost non existent.
Women could walk around topless as men now can. It's just boobs and I see it as discrimination to allow men to do it and not women. If your offended by this to bad. That is freedom. You have the freedom to shut your f'n eyes or turn around and walk away. I'm offended by disgusting fat people, but they aren't illegal, why are boobs?
Marijuana would be legalized, even though I don't even like the stuff. Hey if our forefathers did it, they must have intended it for us.
All of these things plus ad all of klash's ideas because I think the same way as him on those issues but don't want to be redundant and type the same thing over.
I'll probably think of stuff later, but for now that's all I got.

Btw, daved and hrspwer you do realize almost every single thing you said you like is what Ron Paul stands for right?
