Well I tried to get Shambles and his friends to stop getting at each other.

The only thing I can think, is that they are all enjoying themselves, so who am I to try and stop them.

LOL@!!! My parents have had a whole series of stoopid ideas, and I am not to blame for any of it.

I think Bert's idea is the stoopidest one I've heard so far.

Yeah. The thing is, it would require some sort of very sophisticated system to determing ahead of time what the thread is about...so as to limit the number of permissible posts accordingly. Have to be one hell of a clever program, eh?

How about entrusting some posters with edit buttons by which they can impose their personal tastes upon their fellow posters. And even better - have some of these operate anonymously?

Or is that a brillant idea?

No, wait! I've got it! Let's fabricate a bunch of reasons to invade a sovereign foreign country, say that we're doing it for the good of the people of that country, put some of those people in prison and take pictures of ourselves abusing them, send a few thousand of our own citizens home in body bags, and piss off 90% of the people in the entire world, all the while ignoring the fact that said country is an artificially imposed construct whose population is composed of groups who really don't care very much for each other and have only gotten along in the past by virtue of the exercise of brute force by a guy you probably wouldn't want to invite for dinner.

And then let's look at what a great job we've done and seriously contemplate doing it again to the next country over.

I saw something in the news today that made me think of this thread, on the subject of Tom Delay's announcement that he is stepping down from public office...

"Asked if it would hurt the Republican party, Bush said: "My own judgment is that our party will continue to succeed because we're the party of ideas."

(from here)

...party of ideas indeed.

That's a great suggestion, Roger! An idea whose time has come. We could all excercise mutual censorship on each other and no one would even know who was doing it. Ha! Ha! Ha! Call it "Fear and Loathing in Mudville".

Let's put up a 700-mile long fence--not the length of the border by a long shot--to keep people from coming into our country to do jobs our own people don't want to do. (see Tancredo thread).

Look, why not just build a 1500 mile (is that long enough?) moat, filled with crocodiles, and a 20 foot high wall with heavily-armed NRA vigilantes licensed to kill on top of it ready to shoot at a moment's notice any Latino seen moving north. Stretch it from the Gulf of Mexico to the Pacific. Yee-hah! There's a make-work project fer ya.

There's no reason why the USA should let a "wall gap" continue to exist and let the Chinese get away with still having the biggest freestanding wall in the world. It's not right. The Great Wall of the Southwest is an idea whose time has come. All we need is men with the cojones to take the bull by the horns, go the whole nine yards, take this idea, run it up the flagpole, and see who salutes!

Yeah. Men like G.W. Bush and Dick Cheney, by God. Men who act now and think later.

"from the Gulf of Mexico to the Pacific" Little Hawk

Illegal immigrants would head over to Florida, LH, and come in that way.

As a nation we are so conflicted about this. In theory we say that we want to keep illegal immigrants out. In practice, we recognize that unless we have them our economy will suffer drastically.

So we try to do both.

The last time I drove through southern California I was startled to see roadside signs showing fleeing people. Kind of like Wyoming signs warning that you're driving through open cattle range.

Man. The older I get the less I know.

Subject: RE: BS: Stoopid Ideas
From: Little Hawk

Oh, for sure, Ebbie. The Wall would be just the start. Eventually it could be extended to completely ring the entire USA at the 3 mile limit around all the coastal areas, and opposite Canada. There would be high security gates at a few entry points, by land and by sea.

Then an impermiable dome could be built over top of it, hermetically sealing in the USA in their own pollution, both mental and industrial. I think the rest of the world might go for that. ;-) At some point we could just glue the damn gates shut from the outside and forget that the USA ever even existed.

The solution to all this would be to eliminate the extreme poverty and inequity that drives millions of people to emigrate from poorer countries to richer ones. But that would mean legislating in favor of human beings rather than multinational corporate profits......

That would mean a genuine belief in human rights and equality.

That would mean an end to war, death squads, and police states.

That would mean an end to economies that are designed to make prisons a profitable endeavour and drug dealing a major source of national funding.

Hmmm. All ideas that are directly opposed to the interests of the people presently in power in most places. My, my.

Subject: RE: BS: Stoopid Ideas
From: Ebbie

Let's see, how many gates would be considered essential? (Forget about locking them from the outside, Little Hawk. You wouldn't want to cause consternation.)

Once we have the borders secured- just think, no more terrorism. No immigration problems and thus eventually no problems at all. We have found(ed) Utopia.
