[QUOTE=R3mix;25616212]The situation is currently at hand in real life, open your god damn eyes and look outside. We are overpopulated, and the Human Race is still alive, are we not? Equality - the state or quality of being equal; correspondence in quantity, degree, value, rank, or ability. And for someone who wants people to be at some degree, [b]*intelligent*[/b] you sure have some grammar errors in your sentences.[/QUOTE] Hey, intelligence manifests itself through many skills which are recognized by standard IQ testing. Generally, the working memory index index is around average in the gifted population. This index is the key ability needed to recall detailed facts. (Ex: Spelling) In other words: Gifted people generally aren't really gifted at spelling. In case if you want to learn about it, Google 'Working memory and processing speed index in gifted population' [editline]24th October 2010[/editline] People aren't equal of course, but treating them equally would boost the advancement of mankind and our society.

Also, treating people unequally in some cases may be far more beneficial to the society. (Birth control, for example)
[QUOTE=Rowtree;25609698]Alright, fellow Facepunchers, I concede. I came into this certain topic with a petition for reform and I now realize that my opinions were simply a repetition of fascism, which has shown itself to be flawed again and again. I apologize for this ridiculous ordeal. I merely wanted to address my own frustrations with this country and look for possible solutions. My first thoughts were to improve the education system and political system. However, I came about it the wrong way. Now, thanks to all of you, I realize the flaws within my argument. I would like to thank a few people who helped me realize this. First off, I would like to thank [url=http://www.facepunch.com/showthread.php?1017805-I-want-to-run-for-Prime-Minister-of-England-yet-I-think-my-ideas-may-be-challenged.&p=25604198&viewfull=1#post25604198]r3mix[/url]. Though I disagree with the "need" for stupid people, I can see what you are trying to say about the strict government system. It is flawed and I realize this now. Thank you. Secondly, I would like to thank [URL="http://www.facepunch.com/showthread.php?1017805-I-want-to-run-for-Prime-Minister-of-England-yet-I-think-my-ideas-may-be-challenged.&p=25606803&viewfull=1#post25606803"] Firerain[/URL] (a snazzy pink uniform would be lovely, however). You're right. It is fascism. Though I can't honestly say that I now believe that the idea of fascism is completely flawed, I do see how history has shown its potential to be. Hopefully we do not return to the ideas that made Mussolini and Hitler. Finally, I would like to especially thank [URL="http://www.facepunch.com/showthread.php?1017805-I-want-to-run-for-Prime-Minister-of-England-yet-I-think-my-ideas-may-be-challenged.&p=25607119&viewfull=1#post25607119"]Nahyan.[/URL] Your argument made the biggest change to my personal beliefs. I was immature to post what I did and now regret my choice to do so. However, I still do disagree for the need for stupid people. Britain doesn't have the resources or land to be sustainable for "worker's" agriculture and steel. We don't have massive oil deposits or vast areas of unfarmed land. Personally, I am of the belief that by educating the public, we can push our stronger industries: banking, technology, engineering, and medical research. Thanks to all who supported me and disagreed with me. Many of your points are valid, and I hope you will not see me as a Spork-Juct. I hope to grow up and further my education in politics and pursue it. I dream of maybe becoming a solid political member in the future and I now see this short argument as a stepping stone, not the end of my path. I know this has created much controversy and many of my ideas were flawed, but I hope you do not completely disregard me in the future. Once again, I apologize. I hope the rest of this thread, if it isn't closed, can be a mild and non-violent discussion of politics. Thank you.[/QUOTE] Great all lulz and glory can now be mine and i dont need to share it. My soldiers! Foverd MARCH! [img]http://www.expeditionexchange.com/wedco/march.jpg[/img]
[QUOTE=Glorious leader;25616252]What you've just said was incredibly idiotic. After allowing an IQ of above 130 or so to breed there would still be a bell curve distribution of intelligence. People who are the least intelligent (about 130-155 IQ by the current standards, which would eventually turn into a retarded-low average level when the last generations have finally died out) would do the low skill jobs as they would be retarded compared to an average person. (Let's say 175 by the current standards)[/QUOTE] Intelligence isn't inherited nor forced. With increased intelligence you'd get mass emergration as you have a large population of people with good skills who can get paid a lot more in other countries where the spread of intelligence is lower, not to mention they aren't forced to do things by a leader (people don't like being commanded for better or worse).

You can always close the borders. The most intelligent people would realize that they're being forced to do things for their own good. (In case if the leader is working in this direction)
[QUOTE=Rowtree;25601245]I'm not going to. That edited line is for the other post. [editline]23rd October 2010[/editline] Perhaps. At the age of 18, you are enlisted for one year of Military Training, nothing to hard. Then you are given a choice to stay on in the military, or leave and find a job. If you're going to Collage, you are exempt from it.[/QUOTE] Well i believe they should be drafted, their country serves their fat asses, why cant they serve their country in return? Also i have to admit training should start as early as 16 and it would be two years of very unforgiving training to make sure they are ready for service in time of need, also once training is completed they now have the time to go to college.

You want to be Prime Minister of England? That Job doesn't even exist... *questions whether thread died after the truth was posted*
[QUOTE=Dragon Master;25620259]You want to be Prime Minister of England? That Job doesn't even exist... *questions whether thread died after the truth was posted*[/QUOTE] Nah. I want to be Prime Minister of Britain, not England.
How could RowTree possibly be Prime Minister? he can't even comprehend that Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland are contries that are also ran by the Prime Minister. p.s David Cameron Sucks Ass!

[QUOTE=dirty harry;25620150]An army of people that don't want to be in the army isn't going to be a very good army, is it?[/QUOTE] Dont ask me, ask the countries that implement conscriptation. Also conscriptation is not an option, it's a duty.
I would vote for you, only because we are in difficult times :(
