Ever thought about making an oz government rpg?
Dec 20th, 2008 at 8:17am
 
I play in another online government American oriente and proposed basically the same bills. The ones I stressed the most were the ones I really would like to see come into place. (Rather then on the American one where I attempt to humor my party) As these ones will help the parties get a better grasp of my ideology and ultimately maybe one of the parties will offer to let me in.

These were my most cherished bills. (Which btw, none of them got passed, but there’s new members signing up all the time, so I can attempt every so often to give them another shot so long as it’s not like every five minutes lol!) Think any of your Aussie parties would be quick to grab me as a member? I'll have to make two posts because this character limit is just too fricking much. I could break the limit just talking casualy lol!

What's rpg? 

We've got a lot of political parties here in Australia - you might find one to your liking.  What is your ideology?

Human Life Ammendment:
...
Ok, I was just praying this one would get passed, but was pretty sure it wouldn’t. And it didn’t ofcourse... this bill involved that human life constituionaly, would begin at conception. And thus, abortion was, by definition of the law, homocide. This bill did not restrict states from enforcing the law against abortion however they saw fit. They could make it a slap on the wrist if they really wanted too.. But by legal definition, terminating an embreyo would be murder..

I expected the more left-wing people to vote no. I expected some of the libertarians to vote no. But not so many. Figuring since the state would still have thier basic rights to enforce the most important part, (criminal justice) but that’s what I get for trying to compromise. Give them an inch, and they take a mile.

Child Healthcare:
...
The premise was all children under the age of thirteen had a right to have all their health expenses covered..

I was shocked and appauled by the dramatic "no" on this one. Republicans were voting no, libertarians were voting no, even democrats were voting no. And do you know why?

Because apparently the bill was made by me. The best smacking excuse they could come up with was "it’s a good idea, but since it’s you.. no.." That’s just immature. It’s great to know that these idiots would let children die of polio or whatever simply because they didn’t want to have to admit Jim Profit’s plan was a good one. I’m sure their mourning parents will understand... assholes...

Self-Defense Vendors:
...

This was a legal measure that proposed the government used tax money to incoporate "firearm vending machines" which has always been a fantasy of mine ever since I’ve played bioshock. These machines would be electronic, so technicaly they didn’t have to be anonymous and could require a laser-guided certification of your firearm’s liscence to purchase a weapon. This was a good business move I thought, as the use of tax money would pay for itself as it was a "consentual tax measure". And people would willingly pay the government and get weapons in return. The guns were created by private industry, the government simply gave you the OPTION to use their vending machines. Private companies could make their own I suppose.

Republicans voted no, saying this was too risky and was basically giving a gun to children who stole their dad’s liscence, and any decent terrorist who knew how to hack the machine. (And that happened in bioshock quite alot)

Libertarians voted no, saying it was a gateway drug to communism. Giving the government any sortof leeway to sell goods is begging for them to form a monopoly and swallow the free market.

And ofcourse democrats voted no. Saying this was "the most sociopathic thing you’ve done...within the week..."


Hemp Is Good Act:
...
Calling fourth to lift the ban on hemp. I did not go into detail as to whether or not to "decriminalize" or "regulate". As that wasn’t really my concern, I figured it’d be best to just try a centrist position to de-ban it. Because my main goal was to reduce the amount of trees being destroyed for paper, and replace it with hemp fiber which could be grown in droves.

Once again, democrats thought it was a good idea. But mostly out of spite and the occasional "drugpusher" argument, they voted no.

Ofcourse republicans voted no. The destruction of rainforests is a small price to pay to insure our citizens are not drug-addicts. Yeah... that’s worked so well...

Libertarians, being arrogant sons a bitches... voted no, saying that the bill was "too abstract" and thus could mean just about anything and could possibly make the situation worse of keeping government out of our lives.


As you can see, my positions aren't really pro or anti-government. Merely government is an influental entity designed to regulate and subvert people so they don't bugger everything up for everybody. And I'm not blindly ideological, if I think government can be a force of good, regardless of if it's economy or social related, I'll go for it. Or if I think government isn't needed, I won't support it. Which is why I generally voted against universal healthcare, drug prohibitions, any bans on the sale or ownership of child pornography, even permitted the pedophilia bill. (Only me and like three other people who were all self-proclaimed anarchists supported that bill..) So I guess I'm a "moderate anarchist" lol! If there is such a thing..

Roleplaying game. Like Dungeons&Dragons, sept not all rpgs revolve around killing goblins and rolling dice.

Even though that's always pretty fun lol!

They're pretty good ideas.  I agree with 2.5 out of 4 definitely.

Abortion - depending on the mother's mental and physical health.  If aborting the foetus ensures her ongoing health - it has to be done.  We have too many unwanted children.  So I half agree.  Abortion shouldn't be used as a contraceptive which too many women tend to do.

Free healthcare for children under 13 - definitely.  Children in Australia are our most neglected commodity and if unconditional free health care can fix their teeth, fix their emotional problems and any other disorder which is often overlooked because of cost - that's a great idea.

Legalising hemp.  We wouldn't have to destroy our forests.  Hemp could take the place of many ordinary crops and not only is it more water efficient than cotton, it also has some amazing medical benefits as well.  We can use it for clothes, paper, pain control and building materials - yet for some reason our politicians and big business refuse to look at these benefits.

We have a marijuana party in Australia, although I don't know exactly what their policies are.  

A list of Australian political parties.

lol, great to see some good feedback. I'll check that out.

Frankly for the rpg I tried to be a bit mode moderate then I really feel to ease the transition, and they still didn't give any legway. Ofcourse Americans are like that. Our "libertarians" are kind of like your liberal party, but unwilling to remove their head from their anus lol!

I've seen topics at libertarian groups where parents should be allowed to sell their kids into slavery. Jesus Christ lol!

That's why I laugh when people think I'm extreme just cause I like guns, drugs, sex, (especially with minors) and mercenaries.

Most Americans are extreme, we just have a government that works against us. America would be alot more dangerous and unpredictable if any single party got their way lol!

Republicans=Italy in world war two.
Democrats=The Soviet Union.
Libertarians=Zimbabwe.
Jim Profit=Probably The Middle-East lol!

Our Liberal Party is like your Republican Party.
Our Labour Party is like your Democrate Party
Our Democrate Party is like your Liberal Party

All of the top floor are pretty right wing.
