Thread: Common sense laws that you think should exist

List the laws that you think should exist, but that don't now either because they're impractical, unconstitutional, or simply haven't been proposed. The law doesn't necessarily have to be implementable, but should simply address an issue that you think needs to be addressed.

I'll start:

-It should be illegal to buy booze at liquor stores with change.

-Everyone convicted of a DWI should have an Interlock breathalyzer thing installed in their car.

-Sugar tariffs and corn subsidies should be ended.

-The federal government should just go ahead and use eminent domain to condemn several sites across the country to store nuclear waste and build facilities that are almost comically huge and shielded so as to assuage the neighbors' fears of contamination.

-Scratch-off or other completely chance-based lotteries should be banned everywhere except for casinos. Yea, I know people love these, but it's so blatantly a tax on the poor and uneducated that it's completely counterproductive to the goals of our social programs.

If the leaves from a neighbor's trees fall in your yard, your neighbor should have to rake them.

1. Low point beer should be outlawed.

2. Marijuana should be decriminalized.

3. Women with 3 and a half feet of flat bum, pregnant, and no breasts should be banned from topless dancing. (this one should fall under the category of obscenity laws).

4. Personal property taxes should be eliminated on vehicles under 40k.

Thats the first few that come to mind.

No one should have a gun if they can't hit the broad side of a barn with it.

No text-messaging while driving.

If you have a gassy tummy, stay out of theatres.

Internet predators should not be allowed to have computers or Internet access.

Hmm. I'll think of more later.

Neither liberals nor conservatives should be allowed to procreate.

1) Every proposed law must include a citation of the Constitutional clause that empowers government to engage in or order the action of said law.

2) Spinning rims / Dubbs, 500+ watt car stereos, big flat screen TV's shall only be sold after the purchaser has produced proof of comprehensive health insurance for themselves and any dependents.

3) Since I am compelled to piss in a cup to earn the money the government confiscates, any person applying to receive taxpayer money must piss in a cup to get each check.

KANDAHAR'S UNIVERSAL FREE TRADE LAW

people who act horribly on mass transit should be banned from mass transit.

- Drugs which are incapable of giving you an overdose should be legalized.
- People should take a small political quiz before voting.
- The morbidly obese should be denied any kind of free health care.
- If you've been in this country for 10 years or more and still can't speak an understandable form of English, then you should be deported/forced to take English classes.

Liberals should not be allowed to reciprocate?
God, what did I do here? What did I do wrong here?
