What would you ban?

[Kron_the_mad wants to be deleted]

let's see...
Religion,
Nulear Weapons,
adults with an I.Q. below 110,
un-licenced breeding (not recreational sex, just unauthorised reproduction).

 

[Perhaps]

I'd ban censorship, see how it would work out haha

 

[USSR]

Alcohol and Smoking.

Not just cigarettes, smoking in general.
Any kind leads to lung cancer.

Riaa/mpaa

 

[Creator002]

I'd ban prejudice/stereotyping/stigmas etc.

 

[Shadowtek]

People who cheat in online video games. Yes, I believe jail time is appropriate for those who disturb the peace.

 

[BonsaiK]

SUVs in cities. Anyone owning an SUV in my future dictatorship needs to prove by showing either a tenancy agreement or mortgage documentation that they live at least 300kms away from a city of over 100,000 population.

 

[Snake Plissken]

I would ban anyone who wants to ban smoking/cigarettes. Fuck you, I like cigarettes. Seriously, aside from my major addiction, I quite enjoy them.

 

[Angerwing]

Japanese media. Not a fan.

 

[Chamale]

I'd ban all laws concerning gun control and redo that system completely so that anyone 18 and older is required to carry. No crime if everyone's packing!

I've always wondered about this. Scientifically, we could choose two cities with similar populations and crime rates - just for the hell of it*, I choose Saint John and St. John's. Use Saint John as a control, and give everyone in St. John's an AK-47.

So, yeah, I don't like political statements without scientific backing. I'd ban the banning of things without proof that the ban will be beneficial.

* [sub]For the record, the 2 cities which would be best for this trial would probably be Hamilton, Ontario and Windsor, Ontario. Though Hamilton is twice the size of Windsor, their crime rates and demographics are strikingly similar, with the exception of Windsor's relatively high immigration rate.[/sub]

I'd ban whining. For example I really hate parents who say "boo hoo, video games r bad, they turn kids in monsters" or people who complain about game mechaniks ( like camping, quickscoping, "noob" weapons etc)
Also, this is NOT whining about other people's whining, this is responding to a thread. (before anyone says "you whiner!!11!")

 

[LadyRhian]

Idiocy. That would do away with a lot of stuff, and some people. But if I was given a second one, it would be people who have decided opinions on things they know nothing about, have never experienced or even never researched. That's if it's not already covered by the idiocy ban.

 

[Wintermoot]

fanboyism, shitty bubbed Disney sitcoms and kids under 12 on the internet

 

[Nedoras]

I'd ban LOLcats. I just can't stand them. Thinking back on it, there's a lot of memes that I'd want to ban.

 

[MulticolorCharizard]

This thread is a pile of shit.

There's very little I would actively ban in an ideal world that isnt already outlawed, prejudice being the top of the list.

Everyone who's saying they'd ban say, rap or autotune or cigarettes are far worse than rappers, drinkers or smokers. Rap isnt harming anyone, sure cigarettes are unhealthy but if you dont enjoy them, dont smoke the damn things, autotune, why the fuck would you ban that, ever listen to daft punk? They use autotune incredibly well in their songs.

I'm not saying you dont have the right to want to live in a world without certain stuff. Hell I'd like to live in a world without shop assistants, without scene queens, without snobs. But I'm not gonna ban them, because they don't deserve to have their human rights taken away from them.

Also those who say 4chan have only ever been on /b/.

 

[Yokai]

I would ban Westboro, because they deserve it.

Can we ban their right to live? Or their right Not to be on fire? Or their right Not to have their intestines wound around a giant cog, taking hours for their death screams to fade into the distance?

Sorry had an issue with them at a friends funeral.

Really? Then yes, those things are completely justified. Except the kids; have them relocated on grounds of neglect and abuse.

...sure cigarettes are unhealthy but if you dont enjoy them, dont smoke the damn things...

If you really think cigarettes only harm smokers stick with that fallacy and let people knock it down before you start on the human rights track. I'd almost respect a smoker who says, "That's right, I'm killing myself, my family, my pets, and innocent bystanders, and furthermore I demand that you pay exorbitant taxes, insurance premiums, and healthcare prices to make that death as slow as possible."

Heh, you're naive, second hand smoke is doing about as much damage to you as the UV radiation you absorve into your body every second of every day.

I would Ban Banning things... Suck on that Paradox

 

[Quoth The Raven]

i would ban war,violence and general hate
