Doing a "Thailand" Here

Suggestion: Get fully qualified team together. -> Pay them as if they were a company. -> Kill off present government. -> Set 4 year contracts for government.

I can choose the members of, and 'ensure quality' of the executive vice-presidents personal harem. Thorough investigation will be needed on this subject, but I am up to the task.

Every good evil dictator and his close advisors should have a harem.

As close the top of the recently appointed figurehead government I belive this job is vital and should be filled fothwith. I must warn you I demand high standards in my harem and your job maybe ardudous and the hours long.

I'm in. I'll meet ye on the barricades.

Do it on St Pat's day , all the politicians will be out of the country.
And no fear of a counter attack with the traffic blocked by the parade.
You could hide gear in the parade floats too.

Yes but if we do it when every politician is away then how can we ever expect to be able to make examples of this and demonstrate our supreme power!!

curious as to what the laws on treason are here...anyone know? might be an idea to find out before saying anyting :P

Any such laws would only apply should the revoloution / coup fail

Just to make things a bit easier to organize, could anyone who wants to take part in overthrowing the government please wear a large white badge saying "I'm a coup member" and stand to the left of the gathering point? You know yerself, when the randon killing and bloodshed starts, it would be handy to know who is on our side. If anyone asks, tell them its something to do with a new chicken farming support group.

Will the new army have ridiculous amounts of gold braiding? Any good army performing a coup needs lots of gold braiding!

Also, we need to cast a number of medals to hand out at anniversary ceremonies. I suggest converting SuperMacs badges to medals by clever use of sticky tape and ribbon!

Finally, I propose a Ministry for Silly Walks, Ridiculous Marching Steps and Shiny Boots!

recently saw 'V for Vendetta' which has this type of theme. Governments should rule for their people and should fear their people. Instead we are in a situation where the government make rules without ever even consulting their people! So many of us are unhappy but we fail to recognise strength in numbers and do something about it. If we all turned around tomorrow and said 'no i am not doing an NCT' for example the government could not do anything about it what are they going to do arrest and fine us all? The only people in Ireland who actually understand this and act upon it are the Taxi Drivers. When the government make a decision about them without consulting them they group together and fight back. We are paying the taxes our voices should be heard

And then it suddenly turned serious and silence fell. Who was this mysterious Siogfinsceal, proposing the revolution? A Government spy or a true leader of the united revolutionary front? Only time would tell but the boardsies waited with baited breath for Siogfinsceal to raise the flag and call out the long-awaited war cry!

FREEEEEEEEDOM!!!! lol

I don't know if we really want to go down the whole William Wallace route. I heard on Ray D'arcy todat he was hung, drawn and castrated before the eventually beheaded him:eek: I don't know how I want to go but thats not the top of my list.

Anyway he lost and our revolution is unstoppable.

unstoppable I tells ya

Cannot remember the book, but there was a study done on the French, British, and American revolutions. They occurred not during economically declining times (recession/depression), but rather times when their economies were improving at the same time that their governments were incompetent and abusive.

we should be due for one anytime now then

I think the mad mullah mcdowell beat you to it

McDowell McSchmowell. A rank amateur, I'll show him how it's really done when I have him executed by firing squad and his body hung from a lamppost in Listowel.
I am heartened to see the support for our coup among the ordinary, decent people of boards.ie. I am but a simple soldier and a true patriot and I seek no reward for this glorious undertaking. All I ask is that a golden statue of me be erected in every town square, two public holidays a year be declared in my honour and our biggest aircraft carrier be named after me.
We still have posts to fill in our junta: any volunteers for the prestigious post of Head of Nuclear Weapons Research? We urgently need a stockpile of hydrogen bombs. If Bush gives us any hassle, we'll pop a cap in his ass.
Onward soldiers, history awaits...
