If you were a tyrant, what would you ban?

which was the point: copyrights should always stay with the creator, or their heirs (meaning a real person, designated in a will, not some soul less corp that exists only to make money at all costs) .

I agree with your point, just not your assertion about the payment of royalties.  Why do you think Willie Dixon and others went after Led Zeppelin for payment for the songs of his they stole, just to cite one instance?


I do not know if GM cars still have them but that  square-ish ring thing on the bottom side of the trunk latch that sticks up about 2 inches  above the lower lip of the trunk that sometimes you might get a bag of potting soil ,fertilizer or cement snagged on as a tyrant  I would make GM recall those.

Interesting little fact:  GM has already recalled all the cars they've ever made and replaced everything except for that squarish ring thing on the bottom side of the trunk latch that sticks up about two inches above the lower lip of the trunk.  Justification:  It would have cost 37 cents for parts and labour, plus without that they might as well just have given everyone a new car.

I'd ban the 90's, hipsters, vegans, drug commercials, "millennial's", and tofu.

....oh yeah, and my ex-wife.  :P

everyone's middle name must now be "Maurice".

Do we also have to speak of the pompitous of love?

Cell phones in bookstores/libraries.  Example to follow.

Ring.Ring.

"Hello?"

"Oh, Hi Ted!  How's it going?  No, I'm not busy, just hanging out here at the library.  Yeah it's cool, man!  Lots of great books here, people studying, readin' books.  It's great, you should come check it out."

Pause.

"What?  Oh ok I'll speak up a bit louder, sorry.  SO HOW'S AUNT EDNA DOING THESE DAYS??"

Why, this is an easy question...  Not sure about the extended treatises (sp) on the subject.

You would simply LOVE the Critical Massholes that literally take over streets in San Francisco once per month.  Every time I see them, I wonder...why is there never a suicide bomber around when you need one?
They do it the last Fri. of every month in Seattle.

But after the Jewish Federation shooting in 2006, which happened to be on one of those days, the police politely asked for their cooperation, and they were decent enough to give it.

Pretense, and all the dick-waving, pissing-contest nonsense that goes with it. The motto on my throne would be, "Get Real!"

Why Communists?

Good point, lots of tyrants have no problem with communists, as long as they understand all that class struggle / means of production / all-in-this-together mumbo jumbo only applies to the non-tyrant population.  :)

Turducken.  Every year around the holidays I have have to hear about this.  It's sick and wrong in any season.

I think it was a joke based on the misconception that communism = authoritarian governance.

Actually, I thought the concept was OK....Until I saw a picture of one.  Ohhhh, no, no, no.
(What did I do with that pukey-facey thing?)    :P

What goes in the quail, a marshmallow Peep?

Actually people who deep-fry their turkeys scare me a lot more than turducken.  But I will probably get slammed now, because it's mostly men on this forum, and the practice seems to be favored by males.

One day they'll genetically engineer a turkey that tastes of bacon and beer, and give you the same hit as half a dozen disco biscuits.

SCIENCE!

Candy Corn, strawberry Pop-Tarts, and and George Noory would be forbidden to ever broadcast again... or use a phone. That way no one could interview him either.

I wouldn't dream of it.  If you're going to do that you might as well deep fry your arteries and be done with it.

Cats inside homes would swiftly become illegal.  All cats must now stay outside. Period.
I don't give a shit what you think about it cause I'm a tyrant.

Filtered cigarettes

And crazy bitch neighbors with multiple personalities. 

Oh and star-mutherfuckin-bucks. No more starbucks.  Ever.

Hahahaha.  I live in the land of sidearms and turkey fryers. 
I've learned to avoid the guys with a limp or no eyebrows.  It's worked out pretty well, so far.
;)

In all fairness, I've tried deep-fried turkey.  We did NOT throw a wet bird into a boiling vat of oil.  It was really quite tasty. 
:P
