It was pretty much the best thing for my insomnia so it's been a while since I've had a good nights sleep. I wish death on those politicians who oppose legalization. Edit: That's in Palmy btw.

Speaking for my own tiny little circle: Few of my friends bother with regular television anymore, they get their news online, they download anything they want to watch, and they don't care for the time limits imposed by tradtional programming. When there is something interesting brought up on NZ T.V they watch it the next day online. I don't know how prevalent this is but among the the technologically savvy youth I could see it becoming more and more common. As for what this would do for ratings Puchu could probably tell.

A human heart posted:What do you suggest we replace democracy with? Hold politicians to account for each and every lie they tell. Make them apologise in front of a crowd who hold rotten vegetables, after 20 lies they can no longer be a politician and their retirement benefits are cut. Also, in the event they die young their bodies are stuffed and left around the beehive. Weight votes based on if the voter actually understands the issue, rather than being a parrot of talking points. This was anyone who votes that gay marriage should be illegal based on the word of god is rightly ignored. Also put them in the stocks or something, I don't know. Vote Bush.

I wasn't thinking a literacy test, those are dumb. I've nothing against the illiterate, though I guess it would take someone reading the options to them but that's okay. More like: Circle which of the numbers you see to be true: 1) God says homosexuality is a sin 2) Gay marriage is just a means to concert people to homosexuality 3) Gay marriage would negatively affect our children 4) Gay marriage should be allowed because people deserve equality 5) etc  Not like this.

awesmoe posted:It's a lot cheaper and more effective to just throw out the ballots of the people voting for the party you don't support That is not what I'm saying, my friend. I'm saying if someone disagrees with reality which we derive from statistics and scientific consensus then their opinion is worth as much because it is ill informed. My vote would be weighted less as well if I fell into that category. I get what you're saying, I suggested this ages ago and had someone call me a loving idiot who just wants to throw out all votes that don't agree with my opinion. It wouldn't be my opinion though, it would be that of scientists and statisticians, if I voted based off ignorance my vote wouldn't count for poo poo either. There is a big problem in that not all issues can easily be reduced in such a way but it would help with some topics, at least. Issues on fluoride, gay marriage, climate change and the war on drugs would have been solved ages ago with this method. I'm also not saying it would be a perfect system but I think it would be better than the current one. I also really want politicians put in the stocks and also stuffed and put on display, but I could accept losing that in negotiations.

awesmoe posted:This is a good way to disenfranchise the uneducated lower class Isn't that based off the idea that it is just the lower class that is ignorant in these areas? It's all classes of New Zealanders that are ignorant of basic science and statistics, that is the problem. Also being in the lower class doesn't necessarily mean you are unable to think critically, though you're right in that it would be a problem of proportions due to a lack of education and support. In any case I don't see what benefit there is to giving people who actively despise facts an equal say. I know that is a cornerstone of democracy but if history has proved anything it is that democracy, in its current form, does not work. I would never think of targeting people based off race and sexuality but I draw the line at stupidity. Can I ask you what benefit you see to allowing, lets say, creationists a vote on scientific education in areas when they outnumber those who aren't actively idiotic? How would the result of a standard democratic vote be, in any way, a win for mankind? Also regarding the promoting under-educating the supporters I would refer you to my previous point where deceptive politicians are put in the stocks and forced to make a public apology and/or are fired out of a cannon, into the sun.

echinopsis posted:Depends on your perspective I guess. Do those millions of people deserve to not be harmed? What is the harm? What benefit does the harm bring to billions? Well let's use climate change first: The way it works now most major governments such as China or the U.S don't give a gently caress about the truth, they deny and commit to course of action that will eventually hurt millions, potentially billions of people. Those who will suffer the most are those in the third world, these people do not deserve this harm. The harm could be anywhere from the destruction of their homes to death from other climate change phenomena. The benefit is for those who have remained in power, and those who have made billions of dollars through the ease of polluting, rather than proper disposal or care. In the system I propose these people would be put in the stock, or shot out of a cannon. Let's look at the war on drugs: The way it works now is that through misinformation, half-truths and outright lies millions of people are arrested, their families are broken up and their lives are ruined. Money goes to gangs and those who need help are viewed as criminals. These people do not deserve to be harmed through this massive ignorance of the history and efficacy of the war on drugs, but they are. The benefits are, again, politicians who stay in power as well as the for-profit prison system and those who attempt to claim some sort of moral high ground. In the system I propose these laws would be reexamined from a position of science of statistics which has shown, decades ago, that not only does the system not work but it is also based off lies and good old fashion family racism. Again, the stocks or a cannon. e: awesmoe posted:I'm sorry but if you're going to say things like "democracy does not work" I'm just not going to really effortpost in reply You're right in that is an oversimplification. What I should have said is democracy only works when the majority of people are either educated enough to resort to facts in complicated issues (they often aren't or are far too slow and in the time it takes for them to get their collective poo poo together millions of people could get hurt), or aren't so apathetic as to avoid participating (they are). Double e: Would disenfranchisement really be the right word? They still get to vote and their ignorance on one subject wouldn't invalidate an informed vote on another subject.
