rehmwa 2 #27 October 18, 2006 QuoteIf every politician with an urge to invade another country would get a BJ instead, the world would be a much nicer place. Typical liberal - good intentions, but exactly the backward actions to achieve the goal - thus exascerbating the problem instead of mitigating it. If everytime a politician with an urge to invade another country would get a BJ instead, then the urge to invade another country would be more frequent as you are rewarding their incorrect urges. Soon, all politicians could think about is invading another country. They tie thinking about invading countries to BJs. Eventually, your government paid sex providers would strike because their clientele is hideous and freaky, then the politicians would have to invade other countries. I think negative reinforcement is better. If they get the urge to invade another country, electric shock. It's cheaper and doesn't demean the government sex workers who would be less threatened servicing the homeless and lepers and artists and businessmen and circus folk. and yes, this is hideously analogous to other more serious political topics ...

freethefly 6 #39 October 18, 2006 QuoteIf they get the urge to invade another country, electric shock. So, you are in favor of providing electro-shock therapy for politicians at the taxpayers expense? Not to mention the overload on the electrical grid. Damn, the country would be in a constant state of blackout if we had to provide such a service everytime some politician gets to thinking about war."...And once you're gone, you can't come back When you're out of the blue and into the black."

wmw999 2,150 #40 October 18, 2006 QuoteWouldn't life be so better if all this arguing stopped. Then everybody could come over to the Bonfire and we could enjoy a Upatopian societyI think you need to come back to your thread and see what we've done to it Wendy W.There is nothing more dangerous than breaking a basic safety rule and getting away with it. It removes fear of the consequences and builds false confidence. (tbrown) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Damn, the country would be in a constant state of blackout if we had to provide such a service everytime some politician gets to thinking about war. Only the rich would have to pay for it - in fairness. We could use the same grid to provide low cost electricity for the poor as the politicians slowly become twitchy and stop saying things out of fear of more shock. Those that have no sense (likely 95% of those in federal position) will be fried politicians, and could be served as prison food. In the long run, it would be cheaper than hiring an army of 4 foot courtesans with full lips and flat heads to teach them to think about war all the time. ...
