I was hoping like hell he would die though. ;(
And since when did the fucking Vietnamese care about lack of evidence?
Haha. I think what Aladdin really means is that anyone who disagrees with him should be silenced or shouted down - with lies, if necessary.
1. Withdrawal from the EU.
2. Introducing a written constitution guaranteeing radical liberties such as absolute freedom of speech and the right to intoxicate yourself with whatever you please.
3. Efforts to remove entrenched ideology from academia.
4. Introduction of frequent referenda where possible.
5. Financial incentives for those of high intelligence to have large families.
Thick people couldn't have gotten this world in such a mess ...you need a degree for that.
Dennis skinner for leader!
I wouldn't call Hitler extremely intelligent, he failed all his exams!
he failed all his exams, as shyboy stated and only held the rank of corporal due to how long he stayed in a quite meritocratic organisation.
it's not surprising he was successful in politics...

Of course he wasn't an idiot. He was an almost entirely self-taught highly intelligent person, who happened to have a rather abusive childhood. So it's not surprising that he lashed out against authority in the form of the education system. Reports suggest that he used to read a book a day, and that his reading list wasn't exactly the latest Harry Potter novel. People don't like the exactly shout about his intelligence, because of what he did with it, but the fact that he failed in school doesn't mean that he was an idiot. An appropriate comparison might be George Orwell who was intelligent enough to win a scholarship at Eton, but subsequently became disinterested in formal education. And then we all know how influential he was after that.
I didn't know Hitler had an abusive childhood? There's speculation abound in terms of psychiatric explanations for his views certainly...
1. Increase funding for social services, or at least stop cutting the funding when more disabled people are being born and stop assuming the disability will go away when the disabled person is 18.
2. Make big business responsible for the direct and indirect results of their need to have huge profits, including unfair wages and their enivironmental imapct, either through taxes or fines.
3. Every penny of tax payer's money should have to be accounted for on it's own website, and everyone should have the right to find out how much money each service is getting and what the service is spending it on. I would actually like this to be taken futher so that around 30-50% of someone's taxes can be spent on the service they choose.
4. Drugs should be legalised and taxed so the money could be used to make sure addicts have a decent chance of getting help if they want to stop.
5. It should be illegal to import anything produced in Britain at the time and the label on imported products should say how much the producer was paid and the carbon emmisions involved in importing it.
The money spent on this would take up a rather large chunk of people's taxes. Also if you allow people to choose how they spend their taxes then that would lead to even less money for disabled people and drug rehabilitation programs i would imagine. As people are selfish and most wouldn't bother choose to direct money that way if they have the choice.
Unless they are afflicted by that particular condition or someone they know is. Also I'd imagine most people are of the opinion that "dirty druggies" get everything they deserve so they should just rot in jail.
So we should be expecting shortages of lots of things and what we do have to rise in price then if producers in this country suddenly have a monopoly on stuff then?
If there are shortages of things then it means a sufficent amount isn't being produced, so it would be legal to import. As things are now a lot of our imports and exports are the same thing, which is pointless.
This is typically called protectionism and you can read about it on the internet, it is a -bad- thing for all involved as trade is a very good thing and this stops trade.
If all countries start just looking out for themselves, half of london who work in financial services helping people around the world will have to get a job in a field somewhere picking veg. Meanwhile net exporters of food will become poorer because nobody wants to buy their stuff.
It's well worth doing a google search to read into the topic, it's very interesting and revealing how you need to account for not only the initial effects but the fallout afterwards.
The environmental impact is a serious concern but that does not mean we should have blanket bans on anything, simply put if honey makers in devon aren't good enough to compete with honey makers in chile then they should go out of business, why should we protect failing enterprise?
