Thou shalt not worship graven images. Screw that, if I want to bow down to the idol I made out of a roll of tin foil and my toaster, I shall.
Remove a law.

Wait... am I reading this right? You think random civilians should be allowed to kill anyone they want just because they believe that person isn't useful to society or doesn't meet their personal standards? To be blunt there's a word for that: evil.The Code said:
Who's to say tradition is always right? The Mayans would decapitate slaves and prisoners who lived in other villages, immediately after decapitation, they would push the body down a 300 ft temple and watch it role. Just because it's a tradition doesn't make it right. And it's not so much about the fact that we (I say we because I'm bisexual and apart of the LGBT community) can't marry, it's about the fact we're treated as less than a person for something out of our control.thathaloguy117 said:
As for drugs, maybe it's up to them to make their own damn decisions. If you can't handle you'r booze they cut you off at the bar. You can't handle you'r drugs, we cut them off. The license sounds weird but how else would people prove that they can handle the responsibility that comes with drug use?
How would you put that into action? What action would make that happen? And how is that illegal? Plus it's hard processing a form at with one office worker who probably has 200 more forms to go through after he finishes the one he/she has now?
Well, the churches need to get the fuck over it, to be frank. This is a lazy reason why there should not be marriage equality. A fear of change of the infrastructure of religious ceremony...stupid, but extremely prevalent.thathaloguy117 said:
I would remove laws saying that women couldn't walk around topless.
Equality and all that.
Seriously though, I would actually use the opportunity to change the freedom of the press so that it did not protect their knowing presentation of false information as fact.

Here in Belgium there's a law which says that you can't park your carriage in front of the Royal Palace. Yup, it's a law and still in effect 
. Don't want in gotten rid of though, I think it's hilarious .
What I WOULD like to be gotten rid off is any law allowing paedophiles such lenient punishment and reduced sentences. Something about Belgium and it's treatment of those vile creatures is seriously wrong.
As for an added law, I would like bureaucrats that play the "I'm sorry sir, that's not our department" trick to be hung drawn and quartered.

I would remove the tax exempt status of religions (obviously charitable religious organisations will still be tax free like any other charity though).
The law I would introduce would be a parenting licence. All individuals who want to have a child wiil need to pass a test that determines whether they are fit to raise children.

this sounds right on the surface. I think addicts should be treated, helped, not villianized... until they commit a violent crime. It's easy to say "But the drugs made me crazy. I wasn't in my right mind!" and maybe that's true, but unless someone actually took a weapon and threatened another person with death unless the drugs were taken, the buck stops with the user. If you commit a violent crime, you should be locked away from society, and yes, imo, even punished. It's very simple to be altruistic and in favor of rehabilitation no matter the cost, until it's your mother lying in a pool of blood because an addict beat her to death with a pipewrench while he was high.Steve the Pocket said:
This so so so many times, we have it here in South Africa (where armed burglaries are a common occurance) and it makes no sense. It makes self-defence redundant. I hate the attitude of "no one is right in a fight", the trespasser is always wrong, and the other person is right to defend themselves to the full extent of their abilities.xXxJessicaxXx said:
It is even in the school system here, if you get attacked, you get the same punishment as the attacker. I have had friends minding their business who got thrown around by assholes who would get the exact same punishment as said assholes. And if you defend yourself and win then you get WORSE punishment. WTF?! Self defence in many ways makes sense as the most important right, partly because it deters reckless and aggressive behaviour.
I did not enjoy reading that.thathaloguy117 said:
Old tradition is very often wrong, and barbaric. And they should, or else it is discrimination. In my country an organisation (church included) CANNOT legally refuse to hire or give its services to someone based on race, gender, sexuality or religion. And marriage is FAR more than a religious practice these days, it is a big part of modern culture, something that now transcends religion. You don't hear anyone saying "we got a civil union on Saturday", they got MARRIED. It is part of the modern LEGAL and CULTURAL system, something that no person should be denied on the grounds of their sexuality. I don't care if it is the Church that does it, so long as their is an organisation that can give people legal weddings and keep the same romantic appeal, I don't care if there is a pastor, I would happily have any person who could do it legally and professionally, I would rather have a secular person do it actually. But currently such options are both limited and frowned upon.
Do you know how many people in Performance (seriously high-stress public stuff that) take drugs? Bloody thousands. Are they too high to perform? I am not advocating drug use, but it wouldn't cripple a population like that, those who want to use, will, those who don't, won't. And if it is regulated, people won't die of overdoses and the really bad stuff (which people use because they can't get the cleaner stuff). Give people the option of legally buying drugs they know are clean and safer and stuff they know they can survive more than 10 years with, and they will choose that over cheap and illegally mixed crap that can kill in two bad samples.
And the licence would be given by a medical professional, they would create a new department for it, train the medics to see signs of over use, and give a permit for how much they can buy in a month, the retailers would have a database of every buyer, so they would know when someone had their dose for the week. Also check for consumption (blood tests et cetera) so people don't hoard then overdose. Not a lot of thinking required really.
I would replace the law that bases how teachers get laid off. Right now it's based off of seniority, but with the replacement, it would be based off of teacher ratings.
You are right, not letting parents who cannot look after and pay for their children bring them into a poor world where they are likely to be given up for adoption and add to the myriad of social problems society faces would be a bit cruel now...novixz said:
I agree with Dularn whole-heartedly, I live in a country plagued by illiteracy and children growing up in townships, 5 per family, dying young, getting diseases and going into drugs they get cheap on the street that are as much shoe-cleaner as plant, growing up to become criminals, homeless, poor and brining the economy down. This shit needs to stop.
We just changed that in my state and it seems to be benefiting us. We also require all public employees to contribute more to their retirement themselves and that's also having a positive effect. Were hiring more teachers and were keeping the ones who have high marks.Norendithas said:

On topic: I would legalise, regulate and tax pot.
$2,000,000,000 comes from tax on "medical" marijuana in America (or so Super High Me states)
seems like a great way to help the economy. I would keep the same restrictions they have in Amsterdam
I think that if the cat just walks over the boundary of your property then obviously you just leave it but I have this cat which keeps coming into our house and pissing in the conservatory. I see nothing wrong with killing the fucking thing. It depends on the severity, like with most things.
