Title: American Dictatorship
Post by: curiouscrab on March 24, 2014, 09:09:17 PM
Right now American society is really bad. Would a dictatorship fix this?

No. Why do you think a dictatorship could be beneficial?

Need examples of why American society is really bad.

Too many freedoms=America (in a bad way)
America is behind in everything. Even fashion is really bad.

It did not turn out well.

He had a very charming mustache indeed. Unfortunately, it did him no good. I might be him reincarnated, though.

if you can afford that, I agree with everything you say and offer my services as your construction baron. I will oversee all construction to my demanding constraints. All for the mere sum of 3.5 million per year and my own helicopter with Jessica Alba as my backseat "co-pilot". Let's do this!

Yeah, I figured it would be expensive and therefore I only imagined it but never carried it out.

Well you're definitely out.  No way we can have a dictator who doesn't get the jokes.  You'll need to be reeducated when the real dictator gets here.

We can't have a dictator who doesn't really do that stuff. If you're going to be dictator you don't just not really do things. YOU DO OR YOU DON'T! You don't do that wishy washy 'don't really do' stuff stuff.

I don't think a dictatorship would be inherently worse than the system as is... it would just be far more likely to be worse and have far less safe guards in the event it was.
Title: Re: American Dictatorship
Post by: Solitary on March 24, 2014, 11:56:22 PM
Bush Junior said it would be a lot easier if he was a dictator---can you imagine how bad it would be if he had been? I guess it would be like Hitler if he won the war---no more weaklings, no more Jews, no more blacks and browns, no more guns, no more undesirables, while the Catholic Church reigns supreme. OK all you blue eyed, blond haired devils, Hail to the God chosen leader and his storm troopers. If this sounds good to you, you are a paranoid bigot. Solitary

Everyone thinks a dictatorship sounds great because they always imagine in their heads that the dictator will like all the same things they do.

Kinda like with how people think about god.
