...what would you do in that day for your country?
Except for those two things, I agree with you.*also from usa*
as much as i disapprove of the iraqi war, pulling out quickly would be a mistake. I'd increase taxes to get this country outta the deficit bush put us in, do all i could to help the dems get whatever they need to eventaully get troops outta iraq, send more troops to afghan, bitch-slap UK's PM Blair and the Saudi king for being wraped around washington's many pinkies (for god's sack, ur the leaders of your countries! get a backbone!) introduce a federal minimum wage increase bill to match the may states already doing that, introduce more bills to: a federal law requiring all judges to have passed the BAR and law school (cus the local judge here is a complete idiot and extreamly unprofessional), legalize marijuana in a limited way (like alcohol), bring the age for alcohol down to 18, make anti-monopoly laws tougher, more inforced, automatic healthcare for everyone with a much higher tax rate, and make the condition in the cities better.
I'd also get a bunch of advisers and have them put together a long term plan to have new orleans abandon. in the permanent sense. sea levels are rising. letting people stay there will just get them killed.
and of coarse the midnight appointments XD in America, judges can be appointed by the president, and once they're judges, they're judges until they die, or step down; they cannot be fired. so id appoint a bunch of liberal judges in key areas. XD Adams was a smart d00d unfortunately, it didnt work for him, as he was giving judges positions that hadn't been officially made yet, and the senate got rid of the act which made the positions, thus pulling the carpet out from under the judges. *took Advanced Placement American history classes. and managed to stay awake every now and then*
Ignore this; I have to have at least one character in my post.nah, at 18 if you're old enough to elect a president, and to kill a man, you're old enough to drink Ok, good point. as for the pot *shrugs* its not deadly, in fact its mildly healthy, and deaths blame on it are less than 1000 a year. thats a lot more than can be said of alcohol or smoking. and you cant say thats because less people do it. just as many people drink as smoke pot. Have you heard of Loveline w/ Dr. Drew? Call in, and he'll tell you all about how bad pot is for your health.
and for the record, im 19, i dont drink, i dont smoke, and i dont smoke pot. so dont beleive for a second that im saying that to justify my own dependencies. the only reason i didnt say "make cigs illegal" is cus it would be extreamly hard to do, and it'd have a major negative impact on the us economy Unfortunately…it'd also drive the prices up in most other countries. t3h f00ls...
I am not for liberal judges i am aginst alot of what them/dems want.and of coarse the midnight appointments XD in America, judges can be appointed by the president, and once they're judges, they're judges until they die, or step down; they cannot be fired. so id appoint a bunch of liberal judges in key areas.

I'm not sure about that...just as many people drink as smoke pot.
Just wanted to put this out there. There is a big difference between liberal politicians and liberal judges. Of course, there are liberal judges in the sense that they are pro-choice, etc, but when calling a judge liberal, it generally refers to their tendency to interpret the law in a liberal - or generous - way. For example - if the law says "Everyone shall eat Pop-Tarts for breakfast every day because they are full of key vitamins and minerals", a liberal judge might say, well, there are some people who prefer Toaster Strudels, and since they are basically the same sort of thing, and have just as many key vitamins and minerals, it would not be outside the law to eat a Toaster Strudel instead of a Pop-Tart. A conservative judge, on the other hand, would say, the law says everyone must eat Pop-Tarts, and thus eating a Toaster Strudel would be contrary to said law as it is inherently not a Pop-Tart.ssjohn said:I am not for liberal judges i am aginst alot of what them/dems want.
Noted, changed ^^Edit: I think it should be President or Prime Minister.
