Just a silly fun thread :)

Its not just football that gets public money, and this isn't an anti sport post either, there are lots of sports that a tiny amount of funding and many that get none at all. The ones that get money are the ones that win medals and other trophies in international tournaments, how does a sport break through when the playing field is so uneven? Why is sport more important than a youth club, a public park, after all sport can happen in these spaces but they do so much more for so many. Why not support preforming arts and music more? For people of our class and generation your ticket out of poverty was either football or being a rock star, why can't everyone have those opportunities and more?

Book tickets on Musk's first spaceship to Mars for dictators, mercenaries, war mongers, career criminals and trouble-making youths. They can argue and make war among themselves, leaving Earth to those who want to live in peace. 

Why hast thou forced upon me a fit of laughter? Now the muscles around my mouth will need weeks to recover. I shall now watch C-SPAN and discuss global economics with my children to relieve such frivolity from my mind. Good day.

All Hail Elon Musk.

Your ungracious words have left me no alternative but to demonstrate my displeasure here!!!!!!!!!!

Also here!!!!!!!!!! And here!!!!!!!!!

I would remind you that freedom of speech worked well on this site until you saw fit to post such outrageous desires!!!!!!!!!!

Really?!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I am claiming my right of protection  as a citizen of TWO Nations, Ireland and the UK as detailed in each passport. Moreover, my Irish citizenship affords me such protection that all EU citizens enjoy and I will take further action with regards to your words through Brussels.

I suggest your Mr Musk and Mr Trump will not deal with that. !!!!!!!! 

How rude. I would use an exclamation mark to show my displeasure if it were not so garish to do so.

Good one profdanger 

I appreciate your kind words, but to add such a horrifying visage as that emoji which cries from laughter? Dreadful. I am aghast that such emotions could possibly exist in a world such as ours.

May Donald Trump have mercy on your joyful soul.

All Hail Elon Musk.

I would strongly object to such rules on said site.

I’m tempted to take further action over such freedom of speech that would suggest such rules.

I would ban such jokes because for a moment I thought you had lost your marbles and I was fooled! 

Good one profdanger 

I would make it illegal to make “silly fun threads” on this site. Only seriousness, all the time.

Exclamation marks are now hereby banned. Question marks are still questionable, but exclamation marks are to be removed from all keyboards.

Smiles are an affront to nature and therefore must be banned. All muscles utilized in the act of smiling will be liberated from work henceforth.

We will also be required to end all posts on this forum with the words, “All Hail Elon Musk,” but we must not feel any joy in doing this task whatsoever.

I appreciate your consideration of my proposed changes.

All Hail Elon Musk.

No more bailouts, for failing Banks or Corporations. The System is more concerned about jobs, than value-for-money. We need to learn how to build, from scratch.

Homeschool Kids. Let them partake in their own interests, rather than 'One Size Fits All' Schooling promoted by Rockerfeller.

Create a Constitutional-based Republic/Monarchy, rather than Democracy; which is, nowadays, expendable.

Abolish the TV Licence. In fact, abolish TV. Make all shows streaming, and funded by voluntary subscriptions.

End Third-Level Education. Art Sudents should not have to take out loans, they may never afford. Make all, Post-18, Teaching over Zoom, or Google Meet.

Make the NHS use Open Source Alternatives to Microsoft Applications. The Fox is guarding the Hen house; in this case.

Craete Supply-and-Demand in the Hosuing Market. Regulations jack up the prices, as does Hyperinflation.

Get the Bank of England to buy Gold, off the Vatican. Fiat Currency is the root cause of all our financial woes.

Company's ugh I hate touch screens 

They complained about Infantino's plan to get Private Investment, into World Football.

I say, more power to his Elbow. As much as I like Football, it shouldn't receive Tax Revenue.

and a £56,322.01 fine to get it back.

And the same fine for people who insist on cremating meat in their garden. After all, we don't allow burning ghats in the UK..

I'd insist that all Croissants made and sold in the country had their ends curled around and meeting, as they used to do. So that it's actually a ... erm... Croissant. 

Those slug like 'croissant' adjacent objects sold now may taste the same, but that's so not the point. 

And people using mobile phones on public transport to inflict sonic warfare on those who need a bit of calm... Instant confiscation and a £56,322.01 fine to get it back.

Sorry didn't understand your first paragraph '..please fompnys..' totally confused me

I would make it so that AI companies can be held accountable for breach of copyright for all the stolen data and assets their models are fed and regurgitate when generating content

I think ai ornjust general computerised jobs for self service is ok but please fompnys need to stop using chat bots thwy don't understand nt people and have a hardwrr time understanding nd people although yes some humans are the same 

I'd be all for ai working Amazon jobs as long as it's acuarare as Amazon treat staff badly I think in the public sector ai should mostly stay away from service roles 

I'd also insist that clothing manufacturers make proper sized clothing, I mean I want a cardigan thats going to cover my nipples, let alone my kidneys!

I'd free up loads of government money by getting rid of the support for sports and the ministry and minister connected with it, that would probably pay for adult education.

I'd get rid of most drug problems being dealt with in the criminal justice system and make them a public health issue and look at legalising and being able to grow some others, this would free up huge amounts of police time.

I'd make it so that consultants can refer you to another consultant when they can't help you but think someone else can, or that you need the expertice of both of them, without having to go back to your GP, have them scratch their heads at where to send you next as all anyones been told is that they can't help.

I'm not expecting to be popular with huge amounts of power, but if it were given to me, I would use it, so beware!

A great beginning! I eat meat but this would free my guilt.

I'd restore adult education

Oh, definietely. I really miss the evening classes.

a universal basic income implemented

That would be wonderful and solve so many social issues. Perhaps with AI in future this might become possible. Hopefully.

I'd restore adult education.

Make websites use humans instead of chatbots and FAQ's.

Set up factories making prefab houses, the modern ones, in areas where theres skills and no work, espcially in places where the major employer has closed.
