Force politicians to wear shock collars!

Myrmidon

Okay, I'm not actually suggesting this. But admit it, it wouldn't be that surprising to see this thread on OTC, would it?

snowfoxofdeath

I almost created a "Turn the Capitol Building Into a Roman Colisseum" thread, but for comedic reasons.

And frankly, I'm surprised that thread hasn't shown up yet.

Noimporta

Force politicians to send their kids to public school.

Myrmidon

^^ Far too sane for SH or MRDA to support

GLORIOUSLeader

^^ Now that's just crazy talk. 

Alkthash

Force politicians to split up into five man groups and venture across the countries on a quest to slay social issues and earn voter trust.

Chagen

Fuck, I was hoping this was an actual OTC thread.

glennmagusharvey

Force politicians to have road trips together.  With members of the opposing party or of opposing factions.

Have all of the Senate pledge to help each other lose their virginity before the end of the 112th Congress.

glennmagusharvey

I think they've already lost their virginity.  You want them to regain their sanity.

Counterclock

Force Politicians to live in third world countries for one month.

Hatter

No, virginity. It's an American Pie ref-

Oh, never mind.

^^ That might actually be worth it.

^ ...oh.

There's this thing called "voting" where you can hold politicians accountable by choosing to kick them out of office.

glennmagusharvey

There's also a lot of really stupid things that people use that thing called "voting" for, such as:
* single-issue wonkery
* identity politics
* clinging to ideals that don't work in real life
* expressing anger
* and much more

And the ridiculous scenarios in this thread would improve that because _______.

The problem with lie detector/truth serum/whatever suggestions is that people who want positions for power tend to be people psychologically resistant towards those types of things.
