What would you do if you were a dictator?

I need to make things more clear, the world was never meant to have one race, it was meant to contain several races living in their respective continent or region, although I think visiting other countries is acceptable, as long as the foreign man doesn't develop an interest in the woman from the local tribe, I have studied the humans origins, and the Scandinavians, Europeans f.ex never heard of different races, people didn't discover racism until after the death of Christ, MAYBE after the middle ages, in the 1600's, and then the slavery began, and even though it's not allowed for white men to enslave black people anymore, racism is still actual, racism wasn't meant to be discovered, I would surely get rid of the problem if I where in charge of things, with force.

With the extinction of Neanderthal and Homo Australias there is only one human race on the planet. Homo sapien sapien. All of us sapes are interfertile this belong to same species. The notion of "race" is a political and social construct and has no biological basis. Skin color is no more significant than is hair color or shape of the nose or the lip.

I have to agree with ruyeyn and Sand...

Not cool.

They wouldn't have to go into a shelter if they did not want too. It would just be there if they had no other place to go. They could leave any time they wanted. While in the shelter they could take parenting courses, college courses, etc. If they changed their mind and wanted to keep their baby, they could and they would receive assistantce and the shelter would help them find and keep a good job and would provide childcare.

As much as I don't care for children myself, abortion is murder. It's one hundred percent legal in the US. If I dictated a country of my own it would be 100% illegal. No, I couldn't prevent illegal ones but if the doctors performing abortions were caught, they would be arested, have their licence revoved and be charged as a murderer.

PunkyKat: sometimes abortions are medically necessary to save the life of the mother, or because the child would be born with some fatal abnormality like missing organs - http://www.esquire.com/features/abortio ... -hern-0909


If I were dictator I would appoint teams to study the governmental systems of every country, and combine the best principles to establish a new government.

It would probably be a liberal democracy with a constitution guaranteeing free education and strong investment in science and technology. In addition the lawmaking would be completely transparent with all details available online.

Weather or not you have ASD

Absolute power Currupts Absolutely.

Dictators don't have a good record in history.

We are not immune to corruption. no mater how idealistic we are.

Something thats just right for one will not be the same for another.

Edit: (enough harping on my part already oops)

Edit: (I think) Dictatorship imply's that the masses are incapable of making good choices on their own.

Edit: (I wrote my opinion specifically but decided not to be so explicit so I changed my words to these.)

Who said anything about Drs many girls have tried to use knitting needles, poisons etc.. Then there are those who mix up herbal abortifacients. Abortions like drugs, prostitution etc will always be common place. Illegality simply brings massive profits for criminal elements.

That's just a simple empirical observation.

Some ideas need to be conveyed, but to force an idea on someone would be taking a position of superiority.
Who's to say one idea is better than another. When In the end we as a whole are the most destructive force in our environment

I Know what is right and not, but in some ways my right is different than yours, and there are many shades of grey. Areas like guns for self defense, alcohol, cigarettes, abortion etc. Should I become supreme dictator than you will be forced to follow My Right or suffer persecution. (Force & Propaganda are used to give dictatorship's their strength)

I couldn't force others to yield to my right unless the other person is physically dangerous. Its black and white and that isn't life.

Sure I see things in black and white, but overlay other individual perspectives and there will be White, Grey, and Black

So dictatorships can't work.

But to be dictating as I am doing right now is a different thing, because I am not forcing others to do their lives my way.

Look at your picture. " you too eh?"

Aspergers supreme,

I believe in some ways yes, but in others absolutely not.

Heres a bit on why I see it this way.

My sister has a few traits but has scored so low on the tests familiar to this site, you might think shes a rock, or NT as labeled.

Anyways she is successful and fortunate. A masters degree in architecture. I know she has a higher IQ and she is far more able at most normal things. My father carries some traits but scores like my sister on our tests. My mother on the other hand scores normal but similar in spectrum to me. I see all of my family as advantaged in contrast to my own sense of existence. On the other hand my youngest son is equipped much like myself and always surprises us with his accurate senses that are a bit extreme. Some skills that you either have or don't, can be positive for your life. I wouldn't tune down my senses or his to a normal state if we had to give up our gifts too.
Although I would love to have success, not in the Normal sense, there fore I can't really get what It is that makes NT's want to small talk and do the other social stuff thats difficult for me. I have been learning tricks along the way to be more NT and NT's that have known me for long periods become a little more like me.

Aspergian's may know allot about some things

NT's may know allot about some other things.

One Can Not Be Superior To The Other, just different.

I imagine most of us feel this way.

GENERAL
-I would do my best to create a society to defend the vulnerable and helpless and punish those who needlessly and/or maliciously hurt those weaker than them.
-I would want to be actively participating in the running of things, and seeing how it really worked, so I could change it if necessary.

RUNNING SOCIETY
-Whatever the necessary level of education was in this society for people to attain a decent living was, it would be state-funded. Graduate training would be funded for qualified people. No one needs to be drowning in student loans.
-Education would allow for separate "tracks" and early specialization for those who showed specific aptitudes, with basic training in other areas for literacy, money management and other life skills made mandatory.
-Teachers (especially special education ones) would be heavily monitored, and fired, if not held criminally responsible, for abuse of their students or for letting students abuse each other without intervention.
-People could choose which public schools to send their children to, and school buses would be made available to everyone to go to the school of their choice. Schools would be forced to compete and better themselves to attract students.
-Mass transit, both within cities (with subways and buses) and over long distances (in the form of bullet trains), would be made a priority, with the goal of having the best system in the world.
-There would be a public option for health care.
-If there were to be private insurance companies as well, they would be prohibited from discriminating, by outright exclusion or by charging exorbitant prices, for preexisting conditions.
-All animal shelters would be no-kill.

SOCIAL POLICY
-Caretaking jobs (nurses, teachers, aides, etc.) would be better funded, so as to attract better candidates.
-There would be an extensive support network for people who needed it (the homeless, recent immigrants, the abused, runaway youth, the mentally ill, etc.) that focused on providing the most empowering, least restrictive options possible to people in the most desperate situations.
-It would be illegal to prescribe psychiatric drugs to children and mentally ill people absent their (and ONLY their) consent, or concrete proof that they will hurt people immediately otherwise. In the latter case, drugs would only be used as a last resort, after all other options had been exhausted.
-In general, doctors would only be able to prescribe psychiatric drugs to people upon their specific request (without any "prompting") and/or after all other options had been tried.
-There would be a less restrictive, less byzantine legal immigration process that would be far more welcoming. It would be easier to get work and other visas. Thus, employers would not be so easily able to get underpaid labor by keeping immigrants' statuses secret and allowing to work under the table, and the immigrants would be on the same footing as everyone else.
-"Marriage" would be discarded as a legal term, and be reserved for religion. "Civil unions" could be legally formed between consenting human adults of any combination of sexes and genders. (I am withholding my decision vis a vis polygamy for the time being).
-Abortion would be legal in all cases, so long as the individual receiving it consented to it. However, prenatal screening would only be authorized in certain cases, such as when someone had financial or other significant issues that would prevent them from taking care of a special needs child.
-The adoption process would be made simpler and less bureaucratic, and there would be extra benefits for families that chose to adopt rather than have their own children.
-Assisted suicide would be made legal, but ONLY if the person themselves requested it, signed a living will or DNR, and/or made it extremely clear what their wishes were. Doctors or others who pressured people into euthanasia would be treated as killers.
-Mental institutions would only be able to detain people if they were clearly, CLEARLY going to hurt someone, and could not force treatment on them or strip them of their dignity.
-Strict anti-bullying laws, for both school and the workplace, would be passed.
-There would be cameras put in facilities (schools, police headquarters, nursing homes, hospitals, mental institutions and the like) where people wielded a lot of power over weaker individuals. Anyone found abusing their power would be forever stripped of their license and/or position.
-All charities that claimed to work for advancing the rights, societal status or general well-being of a group must be at least half-run by members of that group.

CRIME
-Drugs would be made legal, and taxed up the wazoo to pay for health care, rehab and other services that could be provided through the state. Doing dangerous things under the influence would still not be legal.
-Prostitutes would not be prosecuted; however, johns and pimps would be, because prostitution is often so exploitative to the women involved.
-People who actively and knowingly participated in human trafficking would be classed as violent criminals for the purpose of punishment.
-Violent criminals who did not have an adequate defense (self-defense or protecting others, insanity, extreme trauma, duress, etc.) would be imprisoned for life without parole. There is no need for rapists, abusers, torturers, serial killers and the like to be given a second chance to hurt more people.
-If a death penalty was insisted upon, the victims or their closest loved ones (if the victims were dead) would be the only people allowed to carry it out, and only by clean, non-torturous methods. If they did not believe in it or have the stomach for it, there would be no institutionalized death penalty carried out.
-Everyone, no matter how rich or poor they were, would be assigned a public defender if charged with a crime. No one would be given a better shot than anyone else just because they were rich and well-connected.

MILITARY
-The country would only act with force in its own defense, and, if necessary, in the defense of others, and only against the real and specific people who perpetrated the wrongful acts. Rarely if ever is war started by a whole people rather than the ruling few.
-My country would be held to the same standards as every other one in regards to the Geneva Convention and other prohibitions against torture, genocide, war crimes and the rest.
-The emphasis would be on rooting out, capturing, trying and/or killing specific targets (tyrants, war criminals, active terrorists, masterminds, generals, etc.) by use of espionage and mercenaries, rather than indiscriminate attacks.
-Captured prisoners of war would be subjected to nothing better and nothing worse than violent civilian criminals are. They will not get to be martyrs, but they will not get special treatment either.
-All precautions would be taken to avoid bombing, killing or hurting civilians.
-Any member of the military who took advantage of their job as a way to hurt the innocent or powerless would be stripped of whatever rank or power they had and treated as a common criminal.

There's probably a lot more that I would do, but I have to sleep now.

Most dictators suck anyway, the way some of them execute people is just to surprise and shock people, they have a very vulgar way of thinking.

If I were a dictator as in having a complete disregard for peoples human rights, I'd probably introduce licenses for pregnancy with all the horrible problems that would include. I'd probably also introduce temporary chemical sterilization for drug addicts and and career criminals, sounds extreme but on the face of it it would appear to solve quite a few problems with society. I suppose in the real world though the out cry it would cause would be to much to cope with but when do dictators ever think ahead?

If I was a dictator I would have a nationwide experiment to condition every child to be able to mentally and emotionally handle anarchy. After 70% of the nation has been conditioned in about 60 years, I will resign and turn the nation into an anarchic utopia. I believe that only 70% is necessary because social factors, such as conformity, will handle the rest. Police are of course still required for the whole "just in case" scenarios.

I would probably go mad with power and kill millions of people. It's human nature.
