Edit: Approval ratings do not matter in this case.

You realize this has already been tried, right? FYI: the names of those who tried were Hitler, Stalin, Mao, and Pol Pot. You would go over just as well.

Yep, that's exactly what they did as well. And roughly 100 million died for the "crime" of practicing their culture.

:laugh: Yeah, the OP really hasn't thought it through. He sounds like a young kid with a chip on his shoulder about religion. :roll:

Their is a critical difference. Hitler killed people for being jews. I would kill people for practicing the jewish culture. As long as they assimilated completly, they would be left well enough alone.

No, I have a chip on my sholder against people who don't assimilate completly. A big chip.

That's more than one idea...you fail.

Also, your idea's contradict each other, so....you fail again.

How is that several ideas? Also, how do my ideas contradict eachother.

At least 30 days vacation for everyone. Privatize industry as much as possible while making sure competitive markets are in place everywhere.

And free beer every weekend.

If I became a world leader, I would set an international currency similar to but slightly more valuable than the US dollar.
