Buddy, I would SO vote for you. Honestly, I would. You are intelligent, legally-minded, and a good problem solver. And you have a good heart. I personally think you would make a wonderful president - certainly better than the two sad excuses currently in the running. Heh, awww, shucks... Thanks! And yeah, I remember that episode of SVU! That was a good one! |

Allow abortions. Abortions don't kill people- unaborted babies kill people.
Did you know that Hitlers mother wanted an abortion?
Imagine if Suddam, Osama, Hitler, Bush, all of them were aborted!

Allow abortions. Abortions don't kill people- unaborted babies kill people. Did you know that Hitlers mother wanted an abortion? Imagine if Suddam, Osama, Hitler, Bush, all of them were aborted! If that many women want an abortion, I'm fairly sure that somewhere on down the line a fair number of US would have been aborted too... (us as in not the U.S., as in 'us'.) Me, for instance. My parents wanted and loved me, yes, but my father was born into a very poor family and given up for adoption. For all I know he could've been born out of wedlock. If his mother had had an abortion, which wasn't possible at that time, I wouldn't be here now. How nice. Abortions don't kill people? Nuuuu, of course they don't. They just kill a baby. But of course, what does a life matter, right? It's only a baby, after all. Just a helpless child that hasn't done anything to deserve death. Let's just kill it and let all the people who practiced neither abstinence nor proper birth control off scot free with no consequences for their actions. *rantrantrant* Did you know that by the time an abortion can be done, the baby has to be sufficiently mature enough to feel every thing that's being done to it? That's true, I read it from the newspapers, from an account by a woman who got one, and fitted the dates together with when the nerves develop. I wish I'd kept that newspaper clipping. She said: ANd now, it all comes down again to exactly when do you believe life starts... *drops subject* |

9/11 killed thousands. An abortion would have killed only one.
How can you tell if a baby is going to be evil? Well, you could always call in a Dowser!
If I ruled the world, I would also:
Ban cloning.
Disallow democracy. In my opinion, someones rein should end at death! (It doesn't have to be natural death, either.)
Return the radio to a primary information resource.
Disallow Fung Shui. Seriously... how are you expected to move forward if you keep resurrecting millenia-old traditions that don't actually work?!

Seriously... how are you expected to move forward if you keep resurrecting millenia-old traditions that don't actually work?! So, if a rein should end at death, it's perfectly fine if the one ruling has a disease like Alzheimers, where they forget many things, whihc could lead up to horrible disicions and a country's plunge straight into poverty? Or since they'd be in office so much, get corrupted with power, and end up being assassianted even thought hey were perfectly nice before and just knew when to step down, but weren't allowed? Disallowing democracy would be bad. Bad bad bad. It also cuts back on the variety, which is also bad. Many different leaders and their opinions can help shape a country for the better. Sure, it can be for the worse too, but then you can get new ideas to make it better, whereas with just one person ruling until they die there would be no variety. No, I think democracy is a good thing. So wait, it's perfectly fine to destroy a culture's tradition? Destroy part of the culture? No, that's nto fine. Let people set up their homes and live in them how they want, as long as it isn't illegal like with drugs or a torture chamber or something. I mean, really. It's fine not to like a certain tradition and to think you have to move on, but not everyone feels that way, especially the member of the culture. I'm sure most people wouldn't like it if a part of their culutre was suddenly banned because it was 'old' and 'didn't work' and they 'have to move on.' |

Well, I'm sure you'd feel different if you knew that you might not have existed had abortion been allowed... I know that 9/11 killed thousands. Honestly, though. Was - is - there any way to predict what a child would do forty years in the future? Are you even going to give them a chance to prove what they can do? My grandmother was barren - all my father's siblings were also adopted, unwanted children given away out of poverty or wedlock, in a time where abortion was unknown. However, I'm sure that if it had been legal at that time and she could afford it, my biological grandmother would almost certainly have aborted my dad. So. I want everyone here who wishes that me and my entire family had never ever existed in this world to speak up. Now. The radio? And no more songs? What's CNN for, then? (*wouldn't survive in a musicless world*) As for the fung shui issue... although I don't believe in it and don't really think much of it, you shouldn't ban it just like that. You might as well ban traditional clothing as well and have done with it. And why stop there? How about banning religion, too? After all, all religions come from a long time ago, and depending on what YOU believe it might or might not work. I'm sure the people who believe in fung shui believe it works, though. |

To be the devil's advocate, how do you know that baby isn't going to cure cancer or bring about world peace or something? Your justifications are weak. And this is from someone who's pro-choice. |

Good thing I'm not running for supreme owner of the universe, then.  Moose, I've suggested a solution already. Just get a few dowsers in... if they pick wrong, they can be publicly executed or something. Okay, I've finished being controversial. If I really owned the world, I would: Still return Radio to the primary information resource. Radio rocks. Allow abortions. Alcohol and cigarettes= illegal. Make condoms free for those who require them. Make May 23rd a public holiday. In celebration of bacon. |

Make condoms free for those who require them. Make May 23rd a public holiday. In celebration of bacon. Ah, but how would you know if they picked wrong? The baby is DEAD and it won't come back! There is no way to tell if they picked wrong! Plus, I highly doubt that any mother would want to be told that they have to kill their baby because it's the next Hitler or something. People aren't born evil or good. It comes with how they're raised, the environment they are introduced to, who they are friends with and such. It's highly complicated to work out who the next evil dictator will be. Why should radio be the primary information resource? After all, we have television, internet, newspapers... countless sources, really, for information. I agree that cigarettes should be illegalized, but not alcohol. They've already tried that. Free condoms, eh? Teenagers everywhere: Whoo, we can have all the sex we want! They give away free condoms at my stepbrother's high school. That's like telling them, "Hey, the adults say it's okay for you to do it!" The number of STD and teenage pregnancy cases at their school tripled that year. Meh, if you want a bacon holiday, I guess I can't stop you... Just to let you know, I am pro-choice for abortion. I agree with Greeney that your solutions for the problems abortions cause are very illogical. |

Condoms are free. You can get them from the family planning clinic.
And I wouldn't vote for you either. A lot of those plans would backfire on you. Especialy the reign ends at death one.
