right, that too

i think i should be able to kill aggressive drivers

kim tim jim investor (harbl), Tuesday, 14 February 2012 12:08 (twelve years ago) link

We've been over it before, so I'm not surprised that there are ilxors who are against killing child molestors, but I've known enough victims of child abuse to care more about what they think.

Mandatory adoption - all newborns go to the next family.

-all bicycles are fitted with electroshock triggers so that when cyclists fail to obey BASIC ROAD RULES they are electrocuted.

I think you'll find that in the new no-cars utopia this sort of thing will drop off sharply.

Let's seriously not.

i am against killing child molesters

.. for the simple reason that otherwise the molester has no reason not to murder the child afterwards.

Mark G, Tuesday, 14 February 2012 12:14 (twelve years ago) link

i don't think most of them are that forward-thinking but i don't wanna ruin the fascist thread with this, let's think of other people who should be killed

kim tim jim investor (harbl), Tuesday, 14 February 2012 12:16 (twelve years ago) link

ha i dunno how else a fantiscist thread on ilx was ever going to go tho harbl, kind of inevitable

beware of greek bearer bonds (darraghmac), Tuesday, 14 February 2012 12:19 (twelve years ago) link

they don't have to be forward thinking, they just have to feel massive remorse and panic afterwards.

But, as you say, ... other.

- Compulsory pet ownership min 6. months in lifetime, ideally during childhood (cld not disagree more w/ ban on pets, though owning dogs big enough to eat a sheep a day perhaps ought to incur a climate change fine.)
- Clothes, toys, books, TV etc. marketed to pre-teens to be UNISEX and DEFINITELY NOT PINK. All Barbie and Bratz dolls to be rounded up and executed to mark the inception of this regime.
- Anyone creating an image of a woman in a chainmail bikini to be forced to wear a chainmail bikini for a year, no overclothes allowed.

Clothes, toys, books, TV etc. marketed to pre-teens to be UNISEX and DEFINITELY NOT PINK.

I'd think that if the toys were unisex, pink would lose it's negative signifiers. I feel bad because my girl's standard outfits are mostly pink, but we sorta make it a point to dress her up in "boys" clothes too.

things you're secretly kinda libertranny about (beachville), Tuesday, 14 February 2012 12:50 (twelve years ago) link

Yeah pink would lose the signifiers eventually, but I'm the diktator here, so not in my lifetime! The pink aisles in toyshops make me sick to my stomach. ~bit serious for the fascist thread~

Also unknown as Zora (Surfing At Work), Tuesday, 14 February 2012 12:57 (twelve years ago) link

No, I mean, you are the dictator. I say "go for it!"

xxxxposts i was way kidding about killing people. I feel guilty for days if I just mildly inconvenience somebody, so murder is kind of out of the realm of things I could ever do, lol.

Bo Jackson Overdrive, Tuesday, 14 February 2012 13:08 (twelve years ago) link

As an alternative to murder, I recommend my chain of gulags in the desolate swamplands of central* Florida.

*gulags adjusted north for Alfred.

carl agatha, Tuesday, 14 February 2012 13:40 (twelve years ago) link

Oh, I can get with gulags.

things you're secretly kinda libertranny about (beachville), Tuesday, 14 February 2012 13:43 (twelve years ago) link

People shouldn't be allowed to do anything.

ikr?

i am unsecretly kinda fascisty about the prolifieration of these threads

"renegade" gnome (remy bean), Tuesday, 14 February 2012 13:53 (twelve years ago) link

No publicly-funded stadiums for anything, anywhere, ever. If a major league sports team threatens to leave, show 'em the door.

The Large Hardon Collider (Phil D.), Tuesday, 14 February 2012 13:54 (twelve years ago) link

I have no problem with lightly spanking children or pets.

Exile in lolville (Alfred, Lord Sotosyn), Tuesday, 14 February 2012 13:55 (twelve years ago) link

even hamsters?

"renegade" gnome (remy bean), Tuesday, 14 February 2012 13:56 (twelve years ago) link

Lol spanking a hamster is really funny for some reason.

wolf kabob (ENBB), Tuesday, 14 February 2012 13:57 (twelve years ago) link

I do it often!

Exile in lolville (Alfred, Lord Sotosyn), Tuesday, 14 February 2012 13:58 (twelve years ago) link

A lot of reasons, imo.

getting good with gulags (beachville), Tuesday, 14 February 2012 13:59 (twelve years ago) link

they can be very naughty, especially the teddy bear hamsters

i mean the way the dress they are practically asking for it

delete brain

getting good with gulags (beachville), Tuesday, 14 February 2012 14:06 (twelve years ago) link

Lightly, though. With a LOLly stick.

Mark G, Tuesday, 14 February 2012 14:07 (twelve years ago) link

I'm "fascist" about driving. Drinking and driving, bad driving. Pull them all over, punish them, ticket them. I can't stand when people get aggressive because I'm driving near the speed limit. Smoking....you don't have the right to smoke in someone else's property. Quit whining about not being able to smoke in a restaurant / bar. However, I think you have the right to smoke outdoors.

Stadium funding...this is an interesting question. Again, I think sport is an important part of culture, history and economy. It's a shame that sports culture is obnoxious sometimes.

In ancient Rome, the Colosseum was state funded to the extent that all entrance was free but where you were allowed to stand was governed by your position in society. So, a bit of one side and a bit of the other.

Then again, it was all killing and murder etc.

Except on Wednesdays, that was indie night.

Mark G, Tuesday, 14 February 2012 14:17 (twelve years ago) link

Stadium funding...this is an interesting question.

Not really. Economically, it's been shown in pretty much every single case (at least in the US) to be an absolute losing proposition for the taxpayers. These teams can more than afford to build these stadiums on their own, and they should. (I say this while looking out my office window at Browns Stadium, built at a cost of $283 million, most of it tax money, used perhaps a dozen, dozen and a half times a year and otherwise taking up 31 acres of rare non-industrial lakefront property.)

This book is essential reading on this topic.

However, I think you have the right to smoke outdoors.

But if caught throwing butts in street/on ground you can be shot on sight.

The Large Hardon Collider (Phil D.), Tuesday, 14 February 2012 14:32 (twelve years ago) link

Having just witnessed this, YES.

Andrew Farrell, Tuesday, 14 February 2012 14:35 (twelve years ago) link

Also for spitting.

ledge, Tuesday, 14 February 2012 14:36 (twelve years ago) link

Oh man, I would totally bring unemployment down to negative numbers by having a sniper trained on every recycling bin.

kinda want to read this, subtitle "baseball economics and public policy" -

xp: you don't mean to shoot all the homeless people???

getting good with gulags (beachville), Tuesday, 14 February 2012 14:44 (twelve years ago) link

I HAVE ONE I HAVE ONE

* pedestrians who think you should move or slow down for them because they got in front of you should be herded into a holding pen and not released until 10am.
* on third offense they will be banned from public spaces during rush hours, morning and evening.

one little aioli (Laurel), Tuesday, 14 February 2012 14:45 (twelve years ago) link

No, people putting non-recycling in. We don't (I think) have redeemable recycling, so once stuff goes in the bin it stays there - if that's what you're asking about?

Andrew Farrell, Tuesday, 14 February 2012 14:46 (twelve years ago) link

Ahhhh. I see.

getting good with gulags (beachville), Tuesday, 14 February 2012 14:51 (twelve years ago) link

But what is recycling vs. non-recycling varies from place to place. I can recycle stuff in my curbside bin that my parents can't one county over. I would worry about if a sniper were to transfer between jurisdictions that there might be a tragic mix-up.

getting good with gulags (beachville), Tuesday, 14 February 2012 14:52 (twelve years ago) link

laurel: sounds fair, but also...

drivers who have any problem with STOPPING because pedestrians got in front of them should lose the right to drive
