Zerox 08-11-2007 07:02 AM

Now, this is a perfect world, don't deny it
 
On a serious note here, I'd do something very similar to Bullet Magnet's idea, but some additional/different things. One thing would be a strict death sentence for crimes, since that would help clear the world out of any possible assholes causing problems, rather than just having them take up space.
We then have one similar planet to Earth. Earth is left by itself with the animals, and no buildings of any sort mostly. The other planet is the human space, though we'll still have a few gardens etc., the animals and wonderful environments remain intact on the other planet, though humans are allowed to visit and explore etc. for holidays, though any littering or anything of harming the natural environment will be strict, harsh punishment, and perhaps death, definitely if you purposefully kill anything, even an ant.
Humans are given nothing by default; however, when you work, we give them special points, and so they can then use these to get decent things such as good houses, games consoles etc., and everything will flow freely. Any power is created through solar panels etc., so no pollution. On Earth, though somewhat limited, genetics etc. you're pretty much free to do what you want. Religion is allowed, though if you try deliberately to convert anyone else, or do any Jehova's witnesses BS, you will be punished severely for first offence, then killed if another offence is committed. Laws are less limited, though any killing will result in death of that person. A family quota of no more than 2 intentional children is allowed, not including adoptions (say, you have triplets, it's not your fault, so that is fine). Drugs are mostly not permitted, though perhaps not things such as alcohol, though then again, if you never tasted alcohol, you'd never find yourself lusting after it. Pets are pretty much do what you want, some species taken purely from Earth and bred, others genetically created and modified, though these are not to go to Earth at all, and you will be killed for such an offence, if purposeful.
On the killing thing, highly complex machines will be created; they will go into the brain and probe for the truth, as lie detectors are not really 100% reliable. If they are found guilty/not guilty, the charge is given.
Both planets are 100% sealed by invisible barriers from space, to prevent nothing coming in, apart from large meteors and other worldly ships, missiles etc. to prevent attack from things such as Patrick's planet. These may be let through under special circumstances, but any people and animals coming in will be highly and closely monitored. Earth and Human Earth are neutral, and are not hostile in any way to other planets.
For materials, special atom technology is used to create substances at will, perhaps even new elements with perfect use for the task. New elements and parts for use are harvested from other things in space, mainly uninhabited moons, planets and perhaps meteors, just to obtain atoms so we can edit them etc., since we can not purely create or destroy atoms. Human waste, both biological and artificial, is also a main source for these atoms for reuse.
In many ways, you can do what you want also. If you want violence, but not in video games, for example, you can obtain special cells which can be grown and cultured into literally mindless organisms, as lifelike or unreal as you want. machines are used to create this, so you could, in theory, create zombies, and use weapon of your choice to kill them. Before this, an extra body is grown, then if you die, the mind and memories are moved into the new, duplicate body, to prevent death from this. Also, new bodies can be made, even with adjustments such as wings etc., perhaps, and even things such as immunity to pain etc, allowing the loony violence things to go on without you suffering yourself. team games can also be played. You could essentially have a 100% real Halo. How awesome.
Food and water are manufactured/grown etc., along with where the atoms are modified, and a third planet solely for this purpose. This is also within the protective shield of the three planets, and the original Earth's moon. Special gravity modding equipment is in place to prevent the new planets affecting each other or the original Earth.

...if you read all that, that's as perfect as it's getting. I doubt you can do much better.
Thoughts?

EDIT: S*it, I had no diea I wrote that much...goddamn.

Bullet Magnet 08-11-2007 02:11 PM

Gah. I was specifically creating a world in which people had the sense not to do anything to make capital punishment necessary, let alone actually consider using it.

Remember, God has an amazing sense of humour, just look at the platipus.

Ummmmmm...

No offense, but maybe if you're having fantasies like that.. you should take some medicine. Seriously, it's not healthy to fantasize about billions of people dying.


It's not a fantasy. It will happen weather you like it or not.

Thats 'whether.'

And only stupid, immature people can take pride in thinking genocide of those different than them is clever.

I still find it funny how you are a conservative, devout Christian but still indulge in the things you indulge in.

That is a juxtaposition of sorts. But sinister as it sounds, let's not gang up.

Yes, it is. A God of love would not logically cause the deaths of billions of people. Unless said God defines love as "psychopathy".

Spirrow 08-11-2007 05:37 PM

Wow, this thread was more successful than I thought it would ever be. I just thought people might enjoy letting off some steam that's boiling inside of them and argue over their generally useless points because they know it's not likely to come true.

To put it simply, I would probably have a world where everybody bows down to me or I wipe them from existence. Then eventually I wipe the inferior humans all out and rule with my especially designed superace of humans. Matter of factly, come May 28, 2021, the world as you know it will end.............................................when the aliens attack, of course.

Mac Sirloin 08-11-2007 05:45 PM

Aliens=Al Gore.

Spirrow 08-11-2007 05:52 PM

Al Gore=President Bush...who like Al cares to much about Global Warming to not do anything about it. Mmmm, Global Warming. The future. One possible future.

The above was a joke. Really, Global Warming is a scary thing, of course.

Venks 08-11-2007 05:52 PM

I'd like to see a thread where people show off things they do to make the world better.

That...is the first coeherently good idea on this thread.

Spirrow 08-11-2007 05:55 PM

People can do that here. They just choose to wreck things, instead. Now, if you got a problem, then go to bed and think it over.

Mac Sirloin 08-11-2007 05:59 PM

Get rid of currency, replace it with the old ways of giving an item, recieving an item.

Block up volcanoes and increase factory farmings of cows. Go scientific and economic solutions to environmental problems!

Bullet Magnet 08-12-2007 05:14 AM

Volcanoes? Their valuable aerosol emissions contribute cooling.

Spirrow 08-12-2007 06:57 AM

Exactly. According to what I read, the ash clouds blocks out sunlight which makes the area become cooler if the sun can't warm it because it can't get through the thick clouds to the ground. Go Volcanoes.

As if that's going to happen. Ever. Don't you know what humans are like?

Hopefully such laws and stuff would help them realise that they should just plain not be a*sholes in the first place, and to rid the world of people that don't listen and don't learn and pretty much asked for it, and to try to teach them that what they're doing/done is in fact wrong. Today's always obviously aren't working, there's still loads of murders and all going on daily all the time.

Spirrow 08-19-2007 05:13 AM

Yeah, Zerox, but drugs and alcohol don't help much, either. But those people still have the choice earlier in life of whether they wanted to go downhill with alcohol and drugs or whether to a bright young intelligent person. But they're pretty much whacked up anyway if they can't make the right choice. But what is 'Right' in this world to people?

skillya_glowi 08-19-2007 12:35 PM

Okay, okay. Those people who use drugs (not the soft stuff like tobacco and alcohol, I mean heavier things like heroin and cocaine and such) are invariably stupid. I don't care how many college credentials they have, I don't care how many books they've memorised, it all boils down to them being stupid. Stupid as in "lacking common sense completely." Any person who knows what they're going to become if they use drugs, and still uses them, is lacking some fundamental bolt in their (as Jeff would say) dome. In a sick, twisted way, it does the world justice to have those people using drugs, because we need less stupid people walking around Planet Earth.

While that's true, it also means that we've got all these unemployed, drug-addicted bums lying around the streets, influencing the young and easily-manipulated. Stupidity breeds stupidity, and while there's bums, there's always going to be more bums in the next generation.

Venks 08-20-2007 10:21 AM

In my perfect world the age of consent is 13.
Any girl any where in the world that matches any of my preferences are sent to a school where they learn how to please me and only me. This training is not only for my sexual desires but to destroy things that annoy me. Things like gossip, drama, and talking about things I don't care about. Upon graduation they are sent to my harem which is run by the head mistress Rexy.
Girls in my harem(save for the head mistress) are not to talk with any men without my direct permission. Oh and my wife the Empress has no problem with my harem.
If only.

Havoc 08-20-2007 11:29 AM

Little alteration to that, Venks. Head mistress Rexy with assistent mistress Skilya... oh yea...

You sir, have a perverted mind.

Seems we have alot of members like that.

Oh well, I'll just have to wait till Fall. Then I will have Olly ALL FOR MYSELF!

MHUAHAHAHA!

Erm, yeah...

Havoc 08-20-2007 01:01 PM

Zerox 08-20-2007 01:21 PM

I think Venks is lying.

I think in his true perfect world, there wouldn't be and age of consent, and you can do what you want, when you want. At the very least, he can do what he wants to them when he wants. I mean come on, this is Venks we are talking about.

Havoc 08-20-2007 01:55 PM

You're just saying that because he's black...

So what? They're gonna lie around the streets for a few years, then they'll die in some deserted alley, since that's where drug addiction ultimately leads. One less useless human appendix in the world. And he gets sent to a better place. (Well, depends.) It's a win-win situation.

Do you have any statistical information to back up this claim? Or is this mere speculation? Personally, I agree with skillya_glowi, bums give nothing to society (I assume many never have, or never will), they shouldn't get anything in return.

I agree with Sparky. Are little ones are quite impressionable. I've personally witnessed a family member pick up drugs becuase she befriended drug users. Tis a shame though she is such a smart girl.

lol Mojo and Zerox you know me so well. I mean how can I just sit by while a girl is in need of loving? That just won't do.

Oh and Havoc don't you think starting with a Horse is a bit much? I don't think PV would know what to do with all that.
