Starting from scratch

[Timmy]

Here's something to think about. Suppose you are sent in a space ship to another planet, along with 9,999 other people. Super cool technology allows you to reach the planet in reasonable time, and to know that the planet is very hospitable to human life, and already has an ample food supply and all the natural resources you will ever need. (That's why it was chosen.) Before you left, you were allowed to bring anything you wanted to, as long as it fit in one cubic yard and weighed no more than 200 pounds. (Food for the journey is provided separately. You could bring a favorite snack, though, if you like. ;))

Also suppose that before you left Earth, you ([you]) were chosen to be the supreme leader of this new colony. The people are in favor of it, unanimously electing you. You are now expected to set up the government and make all the laws, rules, regulations. Write a constitution, if you want. Make one law, or a thousand, or none. It's completely up to you.

So. What do you do? What did you bring with you?

(Note: the "you" trick was employed in the post above. Everyone sees their own name in the parentheses. ;))

Noticed that.

[RandyWayne]

Funny thing is, is that I have thought about this scenario many times. Maybe not to the exact specifics that Timmy mentions, but very similar.

What would I do?

What would others do if I was forced to live under them?

If you were one of the 9999, would you rather have Ronald Regan as the supreme ruler, or your pastor? Who would you trust (more) to lead? Or inspire? Or get out of the way and allow you the freedom to rise or fall on your own?

[Jay]

I would want to take along tomes of law, political theory, and strategy. My Bible would make the trip as well. I would want to pick the people for the trip though. :D

First law would be to execute any who competed for the position that was being held. This would be handed down so that all who made a run for office would know the price of failure. It would also cut down on the losers undercutting the winners in bids to achieve power for themselves.

[Timmy]

Noticed that.

It always confuses some folks. And you know how I hate confusing people. :heeheehee

[Jay]

Timmy, you might hate it, but it takes a confused person to confuse people.

[bbyrd009]

I like putting the parenthesis around it, it was like a curve ball, lol.

Well, yeah, that's just common sense. :lol

Considering some of the Pastor's I've had, I'll take Ronald Reagan.

If I chose one of the Pastors, they would throw me in a volcano for wearing slacks on the rugged terrain of the new planet. :D

If I can't be the supreme leader then I don't want to go. So that's a moot question for me.

So. What do you do? What did you bring with you?

I brought cigarettes, all the atmosphere-unfriendly cans, and a portable generator with me. I begin to figure out how I can rape this new environment of it's natural resources, put heavy taxes and prices on them, and I invoke civil war. The planet self destructs in ten years of my reign as supreme dictator of Mattopia. hahahaha. hahahaha! MWUHAHAHAHAHAAAAA!

[AreYouReady?]

:blink I'm not going if Matt's going.

On second thought...maybe I will. :club

First, this requires thought, an exercise I'm not fond of doing, but I'll try anyway.

I would model my new civilization after known peaceful societies of today, such as the Tahitians or Tristan Islanders. I'd bring instructional books on writing, nature and natural remedies, cookware and basic tools, such as saws, hammers, axes, ect.

Really not much more than that.

[The Matt]

:blink I'm not going if Matt's going.

On second thought...maybe I will. :club

You should come. I'd force you to look at my image for three hours a day, and say good things about me.

[AreYouReady?]

Can I take my baseball bat with me? :club

[The Matt]

Hmmm. Actually I'll be for mass disarmment. I of course will develop weapons of mass destruction to keep my people in line. If you want to rebel against me, you'll have to break a limb off a tree and hit me with that. But you better act soon, I plan on killing all the plant life on the planet.

[AreYouReady?]

I'll just get my slingshot and sling a rock into your forehead.

[The Matt]

If I catch you with a slingshot...you will be hung. And my people will cheer. Or they will be hung.

[RandyWayne]

Considering some of the Pastor's I've had, I'll take Ronald Reagan.

If I chose one of the Pastors, they would throw me in a volcano for wearing slacks on the rugged terrain of the new planet. :D

I would take Reagan too, by a wide margin! He was a leader who led and inspired. Most pastors I've had were rulers, who dictated the way it was to be with fear being the prime motivator.

Yep.

You won't catch me....you won't even know what hit you.

God will let me know when you decide to strike.

[seekerman]

Ok, I'm seeing some people I pray will not be IN the 9,999!

[RandyWayne]

Ok, I'm seeing some people I pray will not be IN the 9,999!

Why not? They will be eager followers willing to do whatever the leader says. :)

[The Matt]

Global Anthem of Mattopia will be sung to the tune of My Humps.

[Titus2woman]

This is going to be a fun trip. First we unload the tools and equipment from a well stocked 1900 homestead farm shed. Then load any whiny babies back on the ship and send it back to earth or off into space until the fuel runs out. The few hundred of us that are left will build homes and live communally. I am the supreme leader because I posses skills of healing and birthing, these are skills that are attributed to the wise in many cultures. There will be others who have many valuable skills and they will use them to benefit the group. Being healthy we will live long lives and multiply. Yep my planet will be a happy one. :)

Titusville :)

But but but...I don't wanna go back to earth. Can't I live in your closet?

[RandyWayne]

There was an episode of Star Trek the Next Generation where a colony was directed to have as many children as possible and the women were to have kids by at least three different men in order to diversify the gene pool. Sounds like heaven for the women!

[AreYouReady?]

?

http://cdn2.dailycaller.com/2012/02/hunger-games.jpg

Yeah...that's me confiding with one of the 9,999 about Matt trying to destroy the new planet through his self-appointed executive policies.

I was going to go with my club, but he nixed that. So I will make do with a slingsnot and he won't ever realize what hit him.

Gotta stop an evil ruler (Matt) from destroying our new planet.

[AreYouReady?]

How about under the bridge where all trolls belong? :heeheehee

Well that has a simple fix. I'll just nuke the wooded areas.

Let me see... being constantly knocked up... a receptacle for diverse genetic material? Ewwww...

As someone who had four children in less than four years... well... ummm...no, not even with the really awful parts of that story removed.

Not fun sorry... We have those women now, six kids with at least five different baby daddies... Only a man could think that might appeal. Gross.

[Titus2woman]

You sound whiny... uh-oh!

[The Matt]

You sound whiny... uh-oh!

I will gather up the other whiny people. We will retreat to the rainforest. There we plot our revolt against what we call in a derogatory way, "the healthers" But first, we discover salt and sugar.

There was no mention of having a kid every 10 - 11 months -just "many of them", although I have known a few women and pastors who felt that was the only proper way to do it.

[KeptByTheWord]

No matter any of the scenarios we come up with... none of them will work, because all man knows how to do (with or without God) is to self destruct.

And I thought of this... even if the Lord Jesus himself was the supreme ruler and being there, with all the 9999 people, if any of those 9999 did not submit to his authority (which more than likely would be the case.... ) then man left to his own devices, even with Jesus himself there to be the perfect leader, would still result in all kinds of trouble....

Look at the earth when Jesus walked on it... many received Him because of the signs and wonders, but really wanted nothing to do with the message he was preaching, repentance and love. They wanted the blessings, but refused his message.

So it would be on such a planet. There would be some who would try to follow Jesus, but no matter the case, disorder would begin to reign there, even with Jesus as the leader, because man for the most part does not like to be told what to do. He always wants to do things his way, and submitting to the authority of God is difficult for many to do.

So.... anyway.... I think I'll just continue to stay here on earth with what we have now.... and leave the fantasy perfect world idea behind ;)

So. What do you do? What did you bring with you?

I would make the laws as needed. Which would probably happen with the first argument. But I would hate to make any unless needed.

I brought my cats (assuming my family was already coming). And books. And seeds hoping to grow things.

[RandyWayne]

That reminds me. I would probably bring a few pets like my pair of very friendly (and very fertile) pet rats. I also have a couple of feisty Cain toads that I'll let romp around in my back yard. Oh yes, and a few Snake Heads (fish). Right now their just the right size for my tank, but will just throw them into any available river or lake when they out grow it. People need pets!

[Timmy]

I'll bring my Mr. Beer home brewery. :)

And various barley and wheat seeds.

[Timmy]

I just thought of an interesting twist! :D

There are two ships, each heading to a different planet. The two planets are virtually identical, in terms of resources, life support, comfort, etc. One ship will be full of 10,000 Christians and the other is for 10,000 agnostics. Which one would you rather be on and why (just for you, they'll let you on either one, regardless of your particular label, for some reason ;))?

How do you think things will turn out on each planet, after a year? After a few generations? After a century?

[Timmy]

:lol

I just got my kit yesterday, and batch 1 is brewing as we speak. And I have a "costume" that came with it: a cap and a tee shirt. :)

[Ferd]

First, i would start with who i pick to go.
1. extreme genitic diversity: studies show the wider the gene pool the healthier the population.
2. high genetic quality, screening for physical health, strength, looks, and intelegence. (I just got kicked off the space ship).

my box would contain information on technologies that help develop society... but only to a point.

I would then break the groups down to about 100 people per tribe and scater them accross this new globe. then letter rip taterchip.

Would you delegate all the details to the groups, like government setup, laws, religion, etc.?

[Ferd]

i'm looking for more of an anarchy type setting. Each small group would end up being more tribal in nature

I would add that everyone would share a single religious belief.... since i am the supreme leader, that would be my own.

I doubt that singular view would last very long, but it would at least form a single bases for culture.

It would be interesting to see what life was like ten thousand years after the landing. What legends will have been handed down over the generations? How many people would actually believe "our ancestors came from another planet"? ;)

I will go with the agnostics.

The christians would cry "Did you bring us to the promise land so that we can die?" Think, Exodus. I wouldn't be fortunate enough to see them swallowed by the ground. :heeheehee

Let us assume that the planet the Christians go to is called OoglaMox.

It would be interesting to hear the wild creationism debates between the Young OoglaMoxers and the Old OoglaMoxers and hear the argument "If you believe that we came here 10 thousand years ago from a place called 'Earth' and NOT made 6 thousand years ago as-is, you might as well throw the whole IngaPolMinick (their 'bible') out!

[Titus2woman]

I brew great beer, stout and ale, and can grow my own hops and barley. I do not need the junior beer kit either... Note to self: do not forget to pack the yeast.

Yes my planet will be a happy one :)

I really like biblical style clothing. Robes, tunics, something similar to salwar kameez. An under garment and an over garment with a second heavier overgarment for cooler weather. Adorning details for gender difference. Simplicity, modesty, ease of movement, little difference between the affluent and the less fortunate.

We begin plotting to invade Titusville today. We want their women. There aren't enough for polygamy here.

[The Matt]

Attention Titusville. Surrender your women and your unhealthy foods, or Mattopia will nuke you. That is all.

[AreYouReady?]

Titusville never said it did not have a defense. You would not be able to enter into the planet because of the Nikola Tesla dome enacted over the atmosphere. You will disintegrate upon contact.

Oh my.. you had 9,999 people and you forgot WOMEN? Well you are in a fix of sorts, aren't you? Behave and we will let you have a few of the old fat ugly ones.

Please see the message below from our Sgt. At Arms AYR. Those old-timey nukes will have no effect on our superior protection. If you'd brought a few women with you, you'd have better offences and defenses, you do not want a fight... Ever seen the eagle and mouse picture? .:heeheehee

After reading several posts on the thread, I think I'd just rather go by myself and die old and alone.

Awwww seekerman, no man is an island.

How sad. I sure hope it wasn't anything I said... We were just funnin' :)

I would take Carrie Underwood curled up in that one cubic yard with me so that even if i was voted out as supreme leader, i would still be number one because i had her,along with some cheese, because i know that you (JD )are going to be there some where and you will need it, to go along with that whine of yours , that conservative leaders are not being conservative enough, while you threaten to vote for Obama next time :).You will of course, apologize numerous times for that while insisting you, didn't vote for him last time.

No, it's just.....scary.

[Timmy]

No, it's just.....scary.

In the early years, it's a matter of survival. You gotta do what you gotta do!

[RandyWayne]

No, it's just.....scary.

Do you still have images of the final scene of The Knowing (starring Nicolas Cage) going through your head?

[Dalton]

Awwww seekerman, no man is an island.

Differ, I beg to do....

:toofunny

Shame on you!

[Jay]

I'll miss you! :toofunny


Well, yeah, that's just common sense. :lol

Timmy, you were one of the ones to be included (and knowing your love of life you would never challenge me).




I brew great beer, stout and ale, and can grow my own hops and barley. I do not need the junior beer kit either... Note to self: do not forget to pack the yeast.

Yes my planet will be a happy one :)



I inspire a cha-cha line and inspire the entire population to waltz over a cliff (this solves Matt's problems). Ooopps!! Sorry Matt, there are no women there any more. They all are lying at the bottom of the cliff.

A treaty must be made with RW who might share.



Oh my.. you had 9,999 people and you forgot WOMEN? Well you are in a fix of sorts, aren't you? Behave and we will let you have a few of the old fat ugly ones.

Please see the message below from our Sgt. At Arms AYR. Those old-timey nukes will have no effect on our superior protection. If you'd brought a few women with you, you'd have better offences and defenses, you do not want a fight... Ever seen the eagle and mouse picture? .:heeheehee

Oh, about the junk food...We skipped the candy bars and packed some hawt men instead... Maybe if you'd not taken up all that space with Sinckers, Pepsi, Skittles and risque magazines :laffatu



My addition to the brew as a gift made it through. This is why my population took pains to eliminate yeast from our planet. We enjoy pure non-alcoholic beverages.


We eat only naturally made candy from nuts, maple syrup, and other natural products or byproducts.



Of course Planet OoglaMox is hardly defenseless. Not only is it not defenseless, but it is packing a good deal of Offensive power as well!

I would also add these to the to my arsenal.

I decided that my planet will be armed to the teeth. Any one who does not carry a weapon will be severely punished. Further, everyone participates in combat training (gender specific of course). There are specialties, but everyone over the age of 10 takes lessons, and everyone over the age of 14 is considered a soldier. The next person who takes control of the colony shall do so after my demise and will be hand-picked and trained by me. This shall be the colonial law.

Further, it is a requirement that all families must have no fewer than 10 children. Women who are pregnant are the only exception to the mandatory training. There is a council of 5 who advise me, and are replaced at times by my own choosing.

[AreYouReady?]

What about barren women or men who have low ...ahem.....________counts?

[canam]

Are you in charge of the WPF ? :)

[Jay]

What about barren women or men who have low ...ahem.....________counts?

Hmmm. Barrenness can be solved using invitro fertilization, and a husband who has a trouble counting will be punished by giving him no further duties until he is wife has a child. If that proves to be impossible, he and his wife will provide care for any child that has a single parent or is an orphan.


Anyone who refuses to marry will be exiled and left for [YOU] to deal with.

A person may not marry younger than 17 for ladies and 18 for men. Everyone must be in their first marriage by the age of 24 (excluding me the benevolent if slightly cracked ruler). Marriages are to last until one of the spouses dies. Any family mergers count toward the number of children that family has. Divorce is illegal, and adultery receives the death penalty unless the offended spouse or spouses are willing to receive the offender back into the home.

Anyone caught creating or tampering with evidence concerning a crime will be punished according to the maximum penalty of the crime that they were attempting to deceive the court about.

Other crimes and punishments coming soon.

No. I have no desire to be either. Further, I am as far from being connected to get there as it is possible to be.

Wow man... that's a lot you've got going on there...

Today on Titusville we learned to make a new cheese, had a few really cute and funny goat kids born, planted wine grapes and watched the stars from under our bubble of protection.

Tomorrow there will be a wedding. We have cooked the feast and baked the cake. There will be beer!

We love life here and feel really sad for those who live on other worlds where there is dictatorial rule and war. Any who love peace and who love God may join us and be blessed and happy.

(I feel a mass exodus from your planet coming... I think the residents of Mattopia have already defected :))

On OoglaMox the hand of law is firm, but just.

Yes, and we have good beer too!

[Timmy]

Anyone started a Blue Agave farm yet? :woot

[Jay]

RW, I would propose a league between us, and I would also suggest one between us and Matt, this would allow for a pooling of our respective resources and keep us from launching unwarranted attacks upon one another. Of course, life in Titusville is undisturbed as always.

I have to decide upon a name for my planet, but I do not know what to call it. I do not want to call it after myself.

I will have you know that all of that is for defensive purposes only.


I will invest a portion of my economy to train my people in the art of cheese making.

We have know war and we do not have a dictatorship. I am an emperor. There is a difference.


By the way, I keep my people supremely happy.

I'm staying on Titusville.

I don't want to have 10 children and I don't want to stay with an abusive husband.

Oh and they are marrying because they want to, not because it is required. No marriage licenses either. We don't need permission from the state. T2W, aren't they of ages 28 and 30?

Abusive spouses are not permitted to exist in my society. I have yet to enumerate all of the policies that are in effect regarding crime and punishment. Killing an abusive spouse is justifiable homicide. Further, the laws of perjury are to keep people from attempting to frame another person for crimes that they have not committed.

What's the punishment for rape? Have to marry the victim? :D

[Titus2woman]

She 26 and he 32. Both have good educations and comfortable jobs and are now ready to marry and start a family... There was the love of family, beautiful weather, good food and a very pretty cake decorated with fresh orange blossoms from the trees. They have no debt, nor do their parents from the wedding. It is such a great way for young people to start life together.

And yes there was a REAL wedding here today... Life is good on Titusville :)

[Titus2woman]

Today on Titusville we had Sunday-Gun-day! No, we are not defenseless :) Oh and the cute one in the front is my son.. the groom from yesterday's wedding ;)

Congratulations T2W. You've gained a daughter.

[Titus2woman]

Congratulations T2W. You've gained a daughter.


I have indeed AYR and after five sons and five grandsons she is a breath of fresh air. My son definitely married up :) And his younger brother is about to do the same. We would love dozens of grandchildren but we know that it is a different world now and big families are harder to do. Still God and family remains all that is important to us.

The biggest blessing of all is that our new daughter loves us as much as we love her. I was finally able to pass down one of my mothers beautiful pieces of jewelry that she always wanted to go to a granddaughter yesterday. :)

[Jay]

Prompt execution, and his estate aids in supporting the victim, espeically if the victim is with child do to the incident.

All imigration must be done legally, and we will give all possible help for that.

[Jay]

Congrats on the wedding, T2W!!

[Titus2woman]

Congrats on the wedding, T2W!!

Thanks... since we only had two single girls for the bouquet toss we enlisted the boys who either stayed far back (and out of the range of the camera) or went for the tackle. These two big guys are my oldest and youngest. The girls are friends :)
