Opinions on How to Make The United States Better
|
THE UNITED STATES SHOULD Allow Gay Marriage Legalize Marijuana Fix Immigration for good Stop The War on Iraq Convert To The Metric System Better Background Checks when buying a Gun Stop Spending Money on Iraqs problems and there thousands years worth of problems and maybe Give All Citizens Free Health Care with the money. Get Rid of The Electral College Ban the Selective Service Act Allow the Drinking Age back to 18 Lower taxes, and lower gas prices and start researching for better fuel and efficient fuel.

lol. The metric system is homo. Gay marriage is...well homo. I don't think legalizing pot would help us. Iraq we need to slowly get out of.

A little less fundamentalism and capitalism and a little more economy would help.
By economy, I mean the things we don't spend well/put inside the hornet's nest.

1. Prioritize the improvement of education.
2. Cut military spending.
3. Work to help the needy attain necessary health care, no questions asked.
4. Keep our military thumb out of world affairs.
5. Legalize universal civil union.
6. Negate all of the tax cuts the rich have been receiving and start taxing them a little more.
7. Use the metric system.

So you want to lower taxes but 'give' everybody free healthcare? eh.. Don't work that way.
Should Have better background checks when buying a gun. Fix Immigration for good. ... And that's about all.
Lower gas prices aren't controlled by the government, it's private industry. o_0
The electoral college is good for the United States because half of the citizens of this country don't even know who's best fit to run the country. Many people are ignorant, and vote for whomever is the 'best speaker' or 'wants change'. LOL. Get a clue.
Legalizing Marijuana is the biggest waste of good argumentative skills anyone could put up a fight for. Keep that green plant outa my *bleep*ing face. I ain't no easy-going Europian from Amsterdam. If you want your marijuna, hit up your local drug dealer and pay him $10 for a dime. At least the money he get's from your sale will benefit the economy when he buys new furniture for his pent house apartment.
So we have to wait until were 21 to buy alcohol. Big deal. I'm sure your able to find a party and get totally shit faced like any 17+ teenager in the United States can do without even trying.
Convert to the Metric System? *bleep* that! I like how the good old United States does it's own thing. I enjoy our way of measurements.
Keep or military thumb out of world affairs? We already did that once, it was called World War II. Until France gave themselves up and Britian was starting to lose strength. We had to step in. If the United States didn't try to keep the world at a relative ease, terrorists would be havin the biggest riot of their lifetime. They'd be buyin budweiser beer, (the 18 year olds that is, legally), gettin totally hammered drunk and goin on killin sprees. After hours of murdering hundreds of Isralis, they'd come back to their free healthcare system to get fixed up and figure out how to improve military spending and keep gay marriage illegal.
Um. I will agree with something that's very important.
Prioritize the improvement of education

- STOP wasting so much goddamn money (as a nation) - A new immigration policy. How about this... if you're an illegal immigrant, to get a full pardon, join the army for 4 years. Why the hell shouldn't we bring this in? - NOT elect Hillary - Stay the *bleep* out of other countries. A THREAT is NOT a justification to attack. That's like saying I can slap someone if they looked at me wrong. - TAX the rich, not the poor.

Excuse me, what? Was that supposed to make sense?

There is no way to make the US a better nation without the government getting a personality change.

Immigrants should not join the United States Military for 4 years because they don't want to fight. They have no inclination to fight, and only come to America to work, and find a better life.
Its kind of like the kid at McDonalds that only works there because he has a few bills to pay. Once the clock hits 5, he's out the door, 'Thank god that's over' He's only there to benefit his own interests. Instead of the Manager at McDonalds that loves how the restaurant is improving and running smoothly. He has a well-oiled machine on his hands, proud of his achievements and will continue to strive hard in the future. It's a difference of loving your job and hating it. Anyone who loves it will always pursue what's best for it.
Many immigrants don't speak proper english. This could lead to confusion on the battle field and marines would not like that. [ They want the best soldiers the army has to offer by their sides, so when things get tough, then can rely on the person next to them to help out as much as possible, not some draftee who's going to get them killed. ](Words spoken from Major Winters, 101st Airborne, Band of Brothers)
Full pardons do not work, and it has been done before. In 1986, over 3 million illegal immigrants were given full amnesties from the U.S. Government, and they instantly became legal U.S. Citizens. Now, sit back and ask yourself, since 1986, has immigration gotten worse since the pardoning of these 3 million illegals, or has it gotten better? Hint: There are now 13 million illegal immigrations in the United States of 2008. (Not counting the 3 million given amnesty)
Should Improve education in our schools. Make immigration policies a vital issue to fix. Cut spending and special interest earmarks.

Excuse me, what? Was that supposed to make sense? I put ideas you and Spirit wanted accomplished into a terrorist scenario. Free healthcare, increased military spending, gay marriage, and 18 year old drinking age. It was only sarcasm.

Actually, I want to cut military spending, and I prefer the drinking age as it is now.
I do think free health care would be better than what we have now, but I think a wise transition should be implemented first.

Free Health Care would raise taxes, regardless.

Tax the rich who cannot bother to pay their hard workers enough to take care of themselves. Their greed should not make the nation as a whole suffer.
Look at Costco. They offer their employees great benefits, and they are one of the leading businesses out there.
