Indonesia is only darkies hitting other darkies. Not really a crime that's just nature.
We policed the world for ages. We on our break.

Navies don't bother things people do in their countries unless we are coming by to offer disaster relief. I was talking about the masses of drugs and humans they export from around there. And the guns that get imported.

Take "in-detail" warning labels off products. If you're stupid enough to not check if a potentially harmful chemical will harm you... well... the world's overpopulated. Let them kill themselves off, so we have a clean conscience and our hands do not have blood on them.

On-topic:

Seriously here, we need the old blood out of office... all at once. I don't care how it happens (preferably in as non-violent a manner as possible, for crying out loud the whole of my nation celebrated the death of one man. That man may have perpetrated something horrible, but for fuck's sake, the guy DIED. He's DEAD. Will not walk the earth again, was riddle with bullet holes, tabloids say we ran him over with a truck a couple of times, yadda yadda, point being, we're the fucking mob of Rome cheering on the gladiators again). But we need to weed out the corruption, put the corporations back in their place, and take away the amount of ridiculous power the media has. Our Bill of Rights was necessary, I am not proposing a return to lack of personal freedoms. I'm just saying we were given an inch... and took a billion miles, constantly adding more each day. This needs to stop. This monster has had enough of the monstering, man.

Lately, I am always disappointed by the level of sociopathy these threads bring about.

Probably everything Fifth said, plus providing much, much better support systems for the unemployed regardless of cause for unemployment and diverting a fair amount of funding towards research in automating various jobs.

On that trend though, also research that would promote alternative jobs, as automation correlates strongly with unemployment.

I was about to say with automation and higher unemployment it seemed like we were heading toward that point of all jobs automated, universal unemployment that eventually causes the revolt and either goes down the path for, "In the grim darkness of the far future there is only war." or "The spice must flow."

Well, my belief is that eventually we'll reach a point where people won't need to work, and while we should improve our education system so people can more easily continue to work, a society where the vast majority of people don't *have* to work for everything to function is also an ideal one for setting up something along the lines of communism or some such, so a lot of my policies would be to make for a smoother transition to that.

Oh! And I guess I'd work on improving people's abilities to travel from one country to another and just generally advancing mass communication, since I think that'll play a huge role in getting people to stop caring about "_____ is the greatest country ever" sort of stuff.

I would love it if people didn't "have" to work but until we're in a position where we can throw a switch and BAM it's just like that there's going to be a system of haves and have nots as well as resentment of "why should I have to work but Jim gets to stay at home with his family and still live a fine life"..

I'm splitting hairs I'll admit, because I see where you're coming from, I just don't have a lot of faith in humanity to put aside their differences long enough to make it work before jealousy and shit gets in the way.

Thus why I said until there's a situation where people don't *have* to work. Such a situation would also be one where most people would be unable to work. What you'd be left with are some public service jobs, creative jobs that people would work because it makes them happy, and I dunno programming and sciency stuff? In the case of public service jobs, programing, and sciencing I think you could probably incentivize working those jobs to some degree while generally offering a strong support system for everyone else. I'm not arguing flipping a switch. I'm arguing transitioning to such a system. The slow transition itself would also probably make for a populace less based in selfishness and "me first," too.

Even then the process would probably cause its own self-destruction. The point of automating is so you don't have to employ as many workers so you can make more money. Then once all of said workers are out of a job, they won't have money to buy the products the robots are making thus costing the corporations money and causing a massive breakdown of our entire system.

Truly progress is just setting the world up to fail ;)
