Thread: Cloud No.9 For President!

  1. #1

    Default Who For President!?

    Personally, I have seen a lot of America bashin here. I know that we aint perfect. I guess I would like to ask, if you were given domain over America - what would you do? Keep in mind you have a senate, house, and executive branch to work with.

    Also a quick conensus of what we all think. Should be fun and more productive that doggin eachother. Think of it as _f r i e n d l y_ debating.

    Also the name of the post, is not really to poke fun - but to have fun. We all have had good arguments, now hopfully we can have a productive debate? edit: Changed the title then err tried to - sorry could no.9 (little mod help plz)

    First off, I would make any suggestion remotely similar to the title of this thread extremely illegal - punishable by death, even. Then we'd be able to get somewhere.

    Considering he's not a US citizen, it already is illegal.

    The action, not the suggestion. Subtle difference.

    *yawn*

    Hrm . Whelp alrighty. I guess to get down to the point more or less, we have had a lot of discussion as to how the US conducts itself. The fact remains as to weather its the citizens fault or the goverentments.

    Here was a ponder as to what style of president would be better. I did not mean to apply that Cloud no.9 should be president, but more of a idealistic of cloud no.9.

    More or less what it comes down to is weather or not you belive that poloticians are just horrid and corrupt, or if you belive that they are seasoned, and experienced at what they do.

    I persoannly would belive in a middle ground - but since I left that out as an option i voted for the 1st option. I think that a clear out side prespective is needed. Someone who already has thier mindeset on a broader scope than the often mislead political drives.

    Then I thought to myself that having anyone as president would basically call forth the same ridicule and complaints from probally the same minds who were once for the idea of a revalation of an unseasoned president. (We have had several in the past who did damn good.)

    That kinda left me currious as to what other people thought. Instead of saying why we sucked, and are the form of the worst evil in the world, I was just curious as to see how we would remedy the situations, that occour in and out of opinions.

    The whole illegal title, I thought you all been by EoFF rules. It is not illegal to suggest or even to vote for a foreiner for president. The terminator is pushing to change the regulations converning a president for this reson. Brining up this point, there are loop holes in the system. I am not 100% sure on this, but Andrew Jackson had to use a loop hole to get sworn in. I think it had to do with schooling of sorts. no real idea though.

    Just wanted thoughts

    I'm going to nip this one at the bud. While the topic is certainly valid, the way you presented it was not appropriate.
