“And to all those lonely people out there, and there’s sure a lot of them who listen to the radio, uh, pair up!” - Bruce McCulloch
Kill everyone. No people, no problems.
That works until Canadians start suicide bombing Neo-Israel to reclaim their homeland.
I’ve got some ideas I think are pretty good, but I have a feeling that wouldn’t be a consensus around here.
Maybe I’ll just keep em to myself.
Once again, I’m hunting for the “Like” button. 
Er, how are we going to cure racism if we’re all sterilized? 
The Israelis and the Palestinians have shown they do not deserve to live where they do. They need to be seperated, but not by walls; by space. All the Palestinians can come to Detroit, where there are not enough residents but plenty of infrastructure. There is a large middle-eastern community already there. The Israelis can go occupy a few of those ghost cities in China. Everyone wins and these two peoples cannot fight any more. Jordan gets what is now Israel and the territories.
Forget letting Walmart sell drugs. Legalize pot and a few others and then let the government sell directly to consumers at the local Post Office (which are struggling for relevance). Prices far below the street - the drug dealers wont be able to compete, and the govt makes a profit. Let the tobacco companies lead the way with domestic growing and processing - throw them a bone and maybe create a few jobs.
US Tax code:
- How much did you earn last year?
- Multiply line 1 by 0.15.
- Send it in.
Take 1 billion people out of China and India (500 million apiece) and relocate them to Siberia, Canada and Australia.
Instant solution to much of the world’s overcrowding / unequal population distribution problem.
It’s just busy work to keep everyone occupied until humanity dies out.
If you’re Christian, no fornication. Period. Your diety, bible and pastor says so. End of discussion, no cafeteria-Christianity will be tolerated. I’ll bet Judaism and Islam have similar restrictions.
Gets rid of overpopulation on a global scale and many expensive social services on a local scale. Welfare is drastically reduced. Abortion no longer a big issue.
There are quite a few countries that are poorer and more densely populated than China, including Bangladesh, Rwanda, Haiti, Burundi, Philippines, Sri Lanka, Vietnam, Trinidad, Jamaica, Pakistan, Nigeria, Nepal, Gambia, El Salvador, Guatemala. It would actually address the unequal distribution problem better to move people from those countries TO China. If there is an overcrowding problem, but in fact there is not. There is enough surplus wealth in the USA alone to live every abjectly poor person in the world out of true poverty, but I bet you don’t think that would be a good way to address unequal distribution, do you? Instead blame China and destroy their national identity.
To end deadlock in congress, the politicians from both parties just need to get together and choose the best ideas from each side.
I can remember seeing something just like this seriously proposed, once.
How about selecting 5 representatives from each party, select an issue, and then lock them in a room without food or water. They can get out once they come up with a solution to which both sides will support. They can have access to phones and computers to research data and ask for information, but no media, no posturing to the boob-tube, no think tanks, no influencing from PACs. Force them to do their jobs, compromise, and develop solutions.
I prefer the ‘bioengineer a virus that makes guys gay - and save the vaccine for myself’ option. 
No, no. We give it to the Dalai Lama. Tibetans get their own home land where the Chinese can’t bother them and the rest of us get a break from the bullshit.
Meanwhile, we have to make sure that the Palestinians and the Israelis don’t share any borders. We’ll put one of them in Kansas and the other in Saskatchewan. The Basques can have Nebraska if they want it. We’re not really using it for anything.
Then we trade Florida to the Mexicans in exchange for Baja California and then give that to the Indians. I mean, we could just give them Florida, but really, haven’t they suffered enough?
I can’t have any solutions because I have been dead for 5 years.

I just take the position that everything is just fine the way it is and therefore no solutions are required…that was easy.
I’m picturing representatives gorging on food and water before heading into this thirst-and-starvation negotiation room.
Isn’t that more or less what they used to do to Cardinals during a papal election? Though it went down to “bread and water”, not “nothing”.
