things you're secretly kinda fascisty about

basically, the only allowable ownership of animals should be for food/livestock

nb no restrictions on the type of animal, you just have to be willing to eat it or some foodstuff it produces

otm

I play Tropico to act out these desires, which kinda aren't so secret

I pretty much run it as a drunken worker's paradise/holiday spot, with a weekly tv show starring El Presidente.

Note, I heavily recommend this game, the earlier versions of which are available for cheaps on GOG/Steam

Try a shot of catmilk, DJP.

if you run for office then you have to make your facebook account public and you're not allowed to untag yourself in any photos

pretty glad none of you are running things

CHURCHES WILL BE TAXED

there will be a tax of one cent on every post made on ILX, proceeds going to me

people who insist that simple things are "complex" should lose the right to vote

People who believe the world would be a better place if they ran things would have to wear armbands.

heavily subsidized fruit and veg

all air travel banned until we figure out a way to make it clean and cheap

mandatory lessons in how to use public transport politely

CHURCHES WILL BE TAXED

yes! churches are rich, right? this is how we are going to fund my national schools!

Banning cats is where I start the underground revolution.

i'm fuzzy on the details here but jenny mccarthy needs to be in prison

And then when I take over: divert at least half the defense budget to space exploration and developing replicator technology.

Think of all the free time we'll have as a nation if we can just put our dirty dishes back into the replicator!

People who try to do funny accents should have to go to those places and speak in those accents.

pretty sure you can just convict her for "crimes against the state" now that youre the fascist dictator

I think Neal Stephenson wrote about that in The Diamond Age

yeah some of you really need to own your fascist regime

mandatory name changes for people whose names are irritating variations on common names. Kaytlynnes become Caitlins, Madysyns become Madison, Jaydens become...murdered. there should be a Federal Registry of Baby names and it should maintain a blacklists of names that cannot legally appear on a birth certificate. shitstirring names like Hitler and Zyklon and Holocaust would be legal, though. I don't mind parents telegraphing that their children will grow up to be terrible people as long as they don't make cutesy substitutions like Hitlyrr or Xyclon or Hailiecaust.

'blacklists'

does anyone have any real solution as far as what to do with chronic rapist/abuser types? i don't. jail for life? death? penis-ectomy? i've looked at the sex offender list in our town - and shuddered when i see people that i see all the time on the street - and you get stuff like this:

03/23/2000, RAPE AND ABUSE OF CHILD
03/23/2000, INDECENT ASSAULT AND BATTERY ON CHILD UNDER 14 YEARS OF AGE
03/07/1996, RAPE AND ABUSE OF CHILD
03/07/1996, RAPE AND ABUSE OF CHILD

i mean, is the third time a charm for this guy? if he rapes a third kid does he go away forever? i don't know my mass laws and statutes. maybe i'll look it up. ugh, sorry, this thread was getting goofy.

I'm horrible at funny accents. Who know's where I'd end up!

that's a question i can't figure out, either, scott. has there been a lot of study into therapy/ways of changing behavior in rapists/pedophiles?

"Hailiecaust"

lolzzz

castration

oh unregistered reminded me, kids take mom's last name.

it's a very very tough issue, yeah

for maybe three generations? once matriarchal line has been established as dominant, kids can name themselves or whatever.

oh not the mom's last name - the child molester thing

i don't know if therapy does much for a lot of sex offenders? probably constant monitoring does more good than anything. but i'm really no expert. i'm sure they dope people up a ton to lessen urges and stuff.

ban televised awards shows

do we really need beck around anymore?

i think the opposite actually, only 50 people allowed per spelling of name, if you want to call your kid erica you gotta think of a better way to spell it

Hey what you got against Erica?!

yeah. sometimes i wonder if this is because nobody has tried very hard to change the behavior of sex offenders. but i don't really knwo what i'm talking about here.

erykah

I have an unusual name and I like it and would hate to have a boring first name like 'max' or 'goole', tho if 300 million people all had weird names it would prob lead to a lot of wasted time w/ people spelling their names I guess

erykah banu

like I actually have spent a decent % of my life spelling my name for people, come to think of it

oh dayo reminds me: religion is mandatory and the religion is baduizm, i.e. erykah badu is god

iirc whenever dan savage opines about child molesters he says they p much have to be castrated or locked up cuz the urges don't go away

iirc

lol I just googled and found someone named "Airikah Nicole". I should prob start spelling mine like that too, huh?

"My son is _also_ named Bort!"

when your name sounds a lot like "matt" you spend a lot of time spelling it anyway, even if its boring

that's an argument for short names tho, cause you save time. so everyone should have a randomly assigned 3 letter name, w/ every combination of the alphabet

"interesting...*tells govt*"

I'll take 'max'

xps

also, any ilx interface must show when new posts have been made during the composition of your post, to avoid confusion
