Other notes:

1. Every couple gets a $5000 bonus for every 10 years of marriage to encourage a lower divorce rate.
2.Recycling is mandatory.
3.Parents get $100 to spend on their child every year for their birthday, from the Government, up to age 5.
4.People pay percentage taxes, that way the rich hate taxes as much as the poor.
5. Everybody gets a free trip to anywhere in the world once in their life. This is funded by drug money.
6. Every child under 16 that loses a parent to disease gets a handwritten letter from the doctor saying how sorry he is. Every child under 10 that loses a parent to violence, gets a handwritten letter from the Chief of Police saying how sorry he is.
7. Everybody is required to serve 3 years in the military. 100% of college is paid for if you serve 6 years.

That's just me though...I like to be thorough. If I explain something, I do it right, so you know what I'm talking about.

My own culture?
I would create a culture that isn't a culture. Something with no set boundaries, rules, and laws.

Something that is infectious enough to spread around the world, and break out into chaos and mayhem. I want to see a world where there are no laws and rules. I want to see what Man will do once given true freedom.

That's my ideal "culture": no culture at all.

Don't we all kind of make our own culture just living our lives as we do? Granted, we're going to do some things similar to everyone around us, but it should still have it's own personal flair. At least I always have.

thisnameoffendsme:

1. Every couple gets a $5000 bonus for every 10 years of marriage to encourage a lower divorce rate.

That's a terrible idea. Using money as an incentive to have people stay together? Could you imagine how many unhappy people there would be together, just so they could get that $5,000?

Watoosh!:

If you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all, please.
:cute:
