I'm a 13th century monk that's taken a vow of silence in a life of repentance, I just illuminate my manuscripts all day and never get laid.

There was this Mormon girl in some of my classes ego made a big deal about how she couldn't drink coffee because of the caffeine.... but then she would drink Dr. Pepper.
We told her that had caffeine to and she tried to play dumb and pretend like she didn't know that until we showed her what the label said. And then she just waved it off as not mattering because she'd always drank it and it was "fine".
That just was so weird, like a Jewish person horking down bacon every morning while refusing to eat ham.
She was pretty weird in other ways to, very snobby white attitude and wore turtle necks.

There's at least one mod that doesn't want things getting "too political" since a thread I made during the last election was deleted.

My answer is actually pretty boring so I was waiting for some funnier CYStian ones to trickle in. And thank you mizal for tirelessly policing the thread for foreign contaminants.
What I would do first of all is completely remove the terms "Republican" or "Democrat" from all political discourse, they are both infantile labels that make vast numbers of lazy and retarded people not have to do any thinking. Everyone looking for votes would have to present themselves solely as themselves and the issues they cared about.
Any person wishing to vote would then have to pass a basic class, the sort of thing a literate 8th grader should be able to understand, on critical thinking, checks and balances, ethics, the basic function of the legal system, human rights, and this will include a written essay portion where they have to be able to express three issues that are important to them and why, and what it means to them to be an American. The test will be available in whichever language they prefer and take disabilities into account of course, all the same rules that already exist for things like communicating medical information. This test has to be passed at one point in everyone's life but can easily be folded into school and church programs.
I think by this it should be obvious that I consider the main problem too be an educational one, but I really do think it's a sign of mental illness how people are allowed to vote and create their entire delusional world views based on something they saw on social media and did not attempt to verify. People who are so intentionally stupid or just lazy have no business involving themselves in things that effect the rest of us.
Furthermore, everyone physically able to would need to put in 80 hours of community service or else donate $1000 to be used for local infrastructure. Rich or poor, you have to give SOMETHING to your community to be considered a part of it.
I would also reserve the right to change things again in another 25 years, once there's been time to see how this has all played out and if things have improved.
If things haven't improved or have gotten worse, at that point I probably would just crown myself emporer for life and start mass executing the problem people to be honest. You all had your chance.

Hi CYS, just a random question for the site. If a genie appeared and told you you could alter the US election system to be run however you wanted, what changes would you make?
Or if you're from somewhere else this can apply to your own country. The only thing I'm not interested in is people who don't live in the US trying to eurosplain at the thread how it should work. Remember this is just a fun thread too and if you get in a real political argument or get mad, you're retarded.

If you guys do this again I hope I can be around in time to join, it looks like a lot of fun.

You wander in a dream through the empty halls of a school at night, footsteps echoing down the corridors. You came here with a ghost of what looked like a high school girl, which seemed completely normal in a dream. Explorung a little, you find the place has all the usual things a high school has, although you can't get any computers to work or find a way to contact anyone. And other things are obviously strange here. No matter how long you wander, the morning never comes. Occasionally you catch a glimpse of other ghosts, fleeting mirages, brief impressions of other people that let you know you weren't the first here. (Like in Dark Souls.)
Many are walking in and out of a particular classroom with varied expressions, and thanks to the dream logic you just know there's an important decision to be made there. The girl gestures you towards it and smiles before vanishing.
Taking a deep breath, you bravely step inside...
You see an old fashioned black chalkboard, and standing next to it a figure in dark, hooded robes, features hidden by the deep blackness. The being holds a silver scythe and has an aura of immense power.
"I...I really loved Eternal..." you stammer out.
"You have me confused with someone else." The being says flatly, and you realize that this is not your favorite IF author, but Death itself.
"You are one of the chosen few, brought here to be offered a deal."
"But why me?"
"Ask no questions. Choose quickly, for you only have until the dream ends."
You're about to complain you don't even know what the offer is, but suddenly you do know. It feels like you've always known.
Three names can be written on the chalkboard. It HAS to be three. When you do this, those three people will die. You can even decide how and when. You will never be found out, and face no consequences for doing this in your lifetime.
After death however...
You will be trapped in this school with the other ghosts, forever.
And here's the second choice: you can live forever here in a physical body, alone except for Death. The school will never run out of water and food or any other essentials. Or you can become an ethereal ghost and once a year enter the dreams of mortals. If you can convince thirteen souls to take the offer and each kill three others, you may take over the body of the last one in the real world outside the dream. Furthermore, you WILL have the chance before that body dies to take the deal again and continue the cycle. Though you are eternally locked in as a ghost in your time here...choosing to stay physical in the school forever was a one time thing.
DEATH extends a hand, offering you a long piece of chalk between two bony fingers, and patiently waits.
Do you take the deal, and how would you spend your afterlife if so?
(Hi CYS, it's been a little while. This is just a discussion I had with a couple of friends that I adapted for the forum, I thought people here might have creative input on it. Yes the Death Note influence is obvious.)

I'm going back to my vow of silence before I get points taken but I just wanted to say this thread was incredible and MHD was indeed awesome, I get excited every time she posts because it's always something cool.
