Would any posters here become a dictator if they were in power?

Sometimes people don't deserve the right to govern themselves. At a time like that a true leader of the people needs to step forward and provide leadership to his/her country in a time of peril. The crowd is not always right, is often irrational and often would make the wrong judgement call.

 

I hope you're being sarcastic.

 

I don't think anyone needs to shut out Fox News, but at the same time "they lie" doesn't need to be in quotes. They do lie. Just look at the story that started the whole uproar.

 

Founding fathers agree with him.

 

Almost everyone would be.

 

Oh hell yes. For my first decree, I'd ban any loud motorcycles and ridiculously tricked out car stereos that you can feel four cars away at a stoplight (feeling my fillings to your crappy music is something that would end). For my second, I'd ban tattoos on good looking chicks. For my third, no smoking anywhere, ever, unless you're with a group a guys and somebody passes around a Cuban while you're playing poker. I'd also do stuff that would impose on our freedoms, like cap credit card rates at 6%, make it illegal for companies to charge you to protect your privacy (what a scam... they should be doing it anyway), do away with exotic mortgages and financial instruments, forced relocation to Midwest towns of less than 20,000 for anyone currently making over $500,000 on Wall Street (if you're so smart and valuable, let's see you do something constructive... and you can also prove you can support yourself without cronyism), and indoctrination in American History for any Californian that feels superior because they live in California and know a celebrity. Thus be the laws of rimrocker.

 

I would be. Not in any ways that are traditionally seen, though. I wouldn't take over businesses or supress the press, and I'd only throw Bud Adams and Karl Malone in jail. Then I'd ban the Jazz and move the Cowboys to Oklahoma City. 90% approval ratings, here I come.

 

ok no offense, but I'm now convinced that you're stupid. I usually never resort to ad-hominem attacks, but it's clear that you still REFUSE to understand that Chavez is a democratically elected president whose government was the MAJOR shareholder in that hotel he "stole" or as normal people call it nationalized.

Then you turn around and make this thread, brilliant!

you're a joke dude, you're no less of a troll than Asso or Bigot_Jorge

 

I would love to be a dicatator, though I would be much better than previous ones.

I would definitely become a dictator. From the sounds of it, I would also be ok with rimrocker being in power.

 

All hail Ceasar Weslinder!

 

I can't help being reminded of Harvey Dent's speech from The Dark Knight about Roman dictators.

Anyway I would hope that what people say on an Internet board isn't what they would do if they actually had power.

 

I was with him until he got to the part about chicks with tattoos.
Viva La Revolution!

 

There is no more efficient form of government than a benevolent king.

And that's what I pledge to be.

 

If I were the dictator of the US, I would do a lot of things that would make conservatives happy and I would do a lot of things that would make liberals happy. As such, I would piss everyone off equally and probably suffer the same fate as JFK.

 

Who wouldn't?

I would probably change after the 1st attempt on my life.

 

Considering your first act would be legalizing mar1juana maybe everyone will just be mellow.

 

It wouldn't be my first act and I wouldn't "legalize" anything, I would regulate the living heck out of the most dangerous substances we know of.
