If you had the chance to be president or head of state for a day, what would you implement? What would you change or do for your country?

That seems to be a little selfish don't you think? If we had politicians like that what would happen to your country?

Give back our Freedom to everyone, and use the Constitution the way it should used. Tell everyone to respect everyones beliefs, and our flag, or go elsewhere to live.

I actually took a peak at your country of origin and you are from the US. What do you mean by "Give back our Freedom to everyone"?

So that would mean that you would not like a democratic system right? I actually looked at your discussions and one of them had this statement j_thomas (868) How is Updated Mylot? It just made me smile. I think you are better of with a democratic system.

It was supposed to be a presuppose question. If you love your country, you can think of something that could improve it.

That is actually a good response to the discussion after reading the previous one. Getting rid of poverty is the best thing that any government could do. We could surely use that in our own country where poverty level is high.

Well I'd actually want to do two things. One implement a national health care system. Get something in so everyone can get medical treatment not just those with lots of money or good insurance. The other is implement a national level for education. If nothing else some basic guide lines as to what should be taught in what grade, what levels the students should be at, etc. Right now what is being taught in one state isn't being taught in another. One state might have students taking World History in nineth grade while another has it in tenth. Things should be standarized to some extent. If I have a child in the eighth grade and we move we should have some idea what they will be learning at the new school. Those are what I'd want to implement. I think both would help our country.

The United State Government could surely afford those things. If you don't mind me asking, isn't it that the US citizens have a health care system? Thank you for responding to the discussion and have a nice day.

I would implement a law that will allow me to be president for a longer term and then I will solve the problems in that period. As I dont believe problems can be solved in one day. Its only possible in movies.

the population control program. i think it is right to have atleat 3 children in one family for them not to suffer from poverty . it is for their own good. but if they are rich people they can have 1 dozen of children.atleast they can provide all the things that their children needed.

i think if you are to implement a population control program, it has to be standardized and not just for the poor. It would look discriminative to them.

Your comment actually made me smile. Its really a good thing to feed the hungry and cloth the unclothed. But what is is with everybody having the car?

I don't want to be a president, but if I have to, I'll change the military way and not invent a war unless we've been attacked first. I'll make our country a better place to live by trying to feed everyone and help everyone in need.

I would say ice cream for everyone. I would not help the other countries. Let them fend for themselves. No more wars. Stay true to the united states. The other countries dont appreciate it anyway.

In the very short time I just try to improve the Judiciary system and reorganize the Police force in the state.
