So lets say, you were given complete control of the country you live in. You can make ANY changes to the laws, regulations, rules of said country to whatever you wanted. What would you change?
For me personally living in the usa, id:
-BAN all extreme groups (most feminists, NRA, most affirmative action requirements, PETA, pretty much anything where 1 group of people constantly cry they are held back or put down (when they arent, looking at al sharpton).
-institute common sense policy, i.e, if you try and sue mcdonalds because they coffee is hot, you will immediately be fined and or jailed if multiple offender
-legalize most drugs, tax them, assuming we can supply a workable field sobriety test to catch offenders (laws same as dui essentially)
-legalize prostitution, why this is illegal i dont know
-fully legalize abortion
-legalize male abortion, same guidelines for abortion (time frame wise) a man can opt out of all rights and responsibility to the child so if the female decides to keep it, she understands it is 100% her responsibility.
-age of consent to 16
-age of consumption of substance (alcohol, tobacco, drugs) 21
-cameras on all officers
-welfare requires drug tests and has a 1 year limit
-unemployment requires drug tests and has a 6 month limit
-if you are sentenced to life in jail or death penalty, you are shot. no death row. no years in jail. shooting squad.
-protesting of ANY kind that disrupts the life of normal citizens (i.e when protesters blocked the freeway) will result in jail and fines. for everyone caught at the scene protesting.
-assaulting an officer in ANY way, hitting them, throwing any object, supplies the officer with the legal right to use deadly force. dont fight. dont die.
-remove higher taxes on the wealthy, they pay the same % as everyone else, they earned their money, get off your ass and do the same
-initiate the counter suit policy, if you sue someone or an entity and it is found to be frivolous and without cause, you will instantly be assessed the damages you sought for yourself without trial
these are just some if the things i would change off the top of my head. how about you?
and please, understand, no one perfect country will suit everyone, so be respectful when reading others posts and try and keep an open mind to what they have to say!
keep in mind, this isnt a thread for just my ideas, share your own if you hate mine!
