Let's All Mock The Hippy Page 10

So let me get this right, RC. Every citizen in the UK is going to be awarded a mark out of a hundred for Being A Good Person, with paedophile asylum seekers getting zero, a Mr.R.Carpark getting 100, and the rest of us scoring somewhere inbetween. A committee of experts will assess each of our lives on every birthday, and adjust our score accordingly depending on how we have conducted ourselves in the previous year. This score then to be used to determine our right to medical treatment, the response time of police units to incidents at our home, and tickets to see Led Zeppelin etc.

I honestly don't know why nobody's thought of this before.

I did I wrote a very unfunny sketch about it.

But then I write unfunny sketches about lots of things; vampire zepellins, paedophile kangaroos.

I'm imagining a small boy in a flat cap, pushing a bike up a hill in a northern market town, desperate to bring The Word.

It's still there! Was it hiding from you again? Naughty avatar!

Nah, it's gone for me too. But it looks like an imageshack problem.

Weird I can see it fine.

Imageshack just brought in a taste and decency filter. Your avatar must be particularly hideous.

What is it a picture of?

It's very likely cached on your PC.

(and I was joking about the filter, obviously)

Oh

It might be something to do with Curt then, seeing as it's stored in his thingy account. Oh well, I'll just have to be faceless for a while.

Can't believe this managed to get to 11 pages.

This score then to be used to determine our right to medical treatment, the response time of police units to incidents at our home, allocation of tickets to see Led Zeppelin etc.

Or putting it more briefly, we should set up a system where "good things happen to good people and bad things happen to bad people".

I honestly don't know why nobody's thought of this before.

Griff, you've summed up my ideal society beautifully, that is exactly what I want.

Though I wouldn't be on 100, that would be reserved for truly exceptional people. If I'm honest, I'd probably score in the late 60's / early 70's - a bit like Led Zepplin.

Think of it this way - you're queued up for the last rocket ship to leave Earth before the comet hits, the guard at the front of the line says 'Why should we let you on the ship?'

If your answer isn't good enough, then you are left to die. Harsh? Yes. Necessary? Most definitely.

I quite like some of RC's thinking actually. Not all of it, but some of it seems to make good sense.
You should start a party Mr. Carpark. You wouldn't even need to draw up a manifesto, you could just point poeple to this thread.

Unfortunately, the banks and big corporations would never allow it - I'd be dead by sunrise.

Women and children first is the tradition in this circumstances.
