Re: Would you support a dictatorship... [Re: Silversoul]

If you were the dictator?


Yes..

I would dictate, that none can be dictated, only by self..

Them/their self..

Thus it would be.. "Follow the leader, .. "
Where the leader, only lead the leader..
Thus you get a free world, where the binding, is done, to be free..
..and "any individual/'leader'" would be free to be bound?

Geez, Gomp, it's too bad I don't drink...:lol:



I guess I'll actually answer your question.

If I were put in the place of dictatorship, I would destroy all forms of money, declare our society to be free, and would resign to the extent that I still had control to make sure no one upset this, my, balance.

I would want to be the first benevolent dictator in the known history of man.

Therefore i would support it.

And for the worse. I don't want one person to decide over what is good and bad. Everyone thinks he knows what's best.

Unfortanely and fortunately, I've been affected by both good and bad(questionable) governing.

I do collegiate track and we had an amazing coach last year. Everything he did had a reason. And I noticed results; my grades went, better social life, and my marks went up dramatically.

My coach had to retire and, even though everyone noticed the difference with his system, there was a huge change and struggle for power.

Now the new coach is trying to figure out how to write the weight training instead of the strength coach, who thinks he knows the event better than the actual coach.

We're on the same plan as a decathlete and I'm a thrower. The workouts are pathetic and I have to go on my own time to makeup for all the crap.

Anyhow, everyone does think they know best. The coach I had before said 6am practice was worthless... and my grades and performances went up. now this coach is all about team unity and 6am weight lifting that doesn't coinside with the afternoon practice. It's depressing, like everyone is experimenting with ppl who know what is right. We have the right answers but they want to do it their way through being gutsy, "hard-core", pointless exercises, and having an ego so overblown that they won't listen to anyone else but themselves. And it's sad. This is D1 college athletics. Science should be a major part of the development of these athletes instead of being hard core and on a schedule that no normal college student would dare want.

The same goes for our college president who wants to make us a top 10 school. Well he raised tuition, the college of Liberal arts and sciences is in debt, we've lost a bunch of professors!!!!$! He said we would have smaller classes, but now that there's less professors, we will have larger classes taught by fucking Teaching Assistants. so pretty much we've gained NOTHING but higher tuition and fewer classes in CLAS.

haha God is both sides

And yes I would be dictator and support my position. well actually no. what would I do? since i wouldn't do anything i wouldn't really be a dictator because I wouldn't dictate. oh actually yes i would accept the position because i've always wanted to turn the Rose Garden at the white house into a vegetable garden and let the homeless camp out on the grass edit: sleep in the rooms

all dictators would support themselves, otherwise they would not have become dictators.

if a random member of society was placed into a position of complete power?

interesting.

I guess I phrased that rather poorly. What I meant was, if you could a dictator, would you? Or more appropriately, would you consider it good and just to have yourself as dictator?

A leader who gets his/her power from the support of the free will of the population is much more adorable.
Of course that also counts for me, too.
