discussion What law would you pass if it were in your power?

Legalize weed. I never smoked it but I heard it has medicinal properties and people get in trouble trying to get it

I had a neighbor that was a sovereign citizen. He was a nice, smart guy. Good neighbor. I have no frickin' clue how he was able to believe something as dumb as that.

There are broadly three kinds. The first are true believers, from what I've seen this is usually groups of friends/family that have all bought into one of the group members' deluded reading of the law but sometimes it's one person who believes whatever he read online. The second group which are the vast majority are shysters. One subgroup of that is people who are charged with crimes that they know they're getting convicted on regardless so they'll go into hearings and talk the talking points mainly on the hope that they'll drag out the case long enough that the prosecutor decides to drop it or make them a better deal. The second subgroup is people who can't get their driver's license back or their car registered for whatever reason so they're hoping their fake documents and legal jargon will bamboozle any police officer that pulls them over into just overlooking the license or registration issues. The last group are the gurus, which are the people actually putting the nonsense online and charging people to read it. In my opinion they're the really morally reprehensible ones, the people in the second group are probably already getting their comeuppance anyway and the people in the first group are victims of a scam in a way.

Wow, I'm an Atheist but doing it by force would just drive it underground and make it worse.

Sure it will be chaos... for about 1-2 generations. After that humanity will be in a much better place.

We'll call it the Cultural Revolution.

Retired people? Disabled?

ye forgot to specify that i meant healthy and not retired. My bad

No necessary, you bake more cookies before the last gets bad

What if the person in the family who made them dies, and nobody else can/will?

 

[MattShizzle]

So what if they are simply unable to get one? Like in a bad economy, or just due to lack of experience/not good enough social skill?

They'll be paid through tax appropriations to dig holes and fill them up again. That income will be taxed of course.

I'd pass a law that'd require people to take and pass a citizenship exam to vote and each election would require them to pass a test for competency on the issues, no more completely free Democracy where you have ignorant individuals voting for a political party without actually knowing what's on the ballot and having at least a passable understanding of the Constitution.

A new law? I would remove everything that dont makes any sense. If people want to harm themselves with drugs they can do it, if people want to marry multiple partners of whatever gender, let them, if kids want to make fast cash by posting nudes, dont hunt their parents down for it, if devs make loli content without any real children involved let them, if people download sick shit to get off without harming anyone let them.
To make it short, if you dont harm anyone aside from yourself you dont break any laws. Everything else is just tyranny.

Drug use can harm others, people searching for a "fix" creates a dangerous scenario and impaired individuals driving or what have you. When certain drugs are legalized you see a spike in criminal activity. I'd agree that possession should be decriminalized to a point, but if you're dealing to children which would be legal if you completely remove any restrictions to something then that'd be an issue for starters.
-
Marriage laws are about taxes nothing more nothing else nobody is stopping you from living with multiple partners as if you were married.
-
Children actually can get arrested for distribution of themselves. The parents not so much if they're unaware of it. There was actually a case where this very thing was going to happen, the police showed up after the parents called about an adult grooming their child and having possession of material and the police showed up and instead of helping they were going to take the child into custody.
-
Loli is technically legal at least in the US there's no direct law against it, but it falls under a catch 22 law.
-
The issue with revoking certain laws that you think only harm the individual is what constitutes "harm" to another person. Drug dealer on the street outside of an elementary school dealing to children who don't know any better is that harm? Parents pushing their children to create explicit content even if they don't "force" them to is that harm? A flasher exposing themselves to a bus full of children, is that harm?
-
Suicide being illegal doesn't make much sense to me personally as long as it's not a method that puts others at risk.

That would be a waste. Cheaper to just pay to do nothing - cost of transport, shovels, etc.

Then the state would create the jobs that wouldnt pay them but would only give them rations to survive. They would clean the streets, fix roads

There are still a couple of states where it is technically illegal to cohabitate, under laws from the 1800s when the US was going after the mormons out in utah territory. Most have either dropped the laws or had them ruled unconstitutional at this point, though often much later than one would expect.

Wrong. The top crimes when it comes to drugs are:
On the producer side: Production, keeping workers in check, removing illoyal workers, paying/corrupting/removing law enforcers - all of those will be gone if it becomes legal.
On the dealer side: Transport and sell drugs, "earning" respect/fear, defending their stock, make sure the consuments pay, keeping the small-dealer-network in check, removing illoyal/stupid/useless small dealers from the network, paying/corrupting/removing law enforcers - all of those will be gone if it becomes legal.
On the consuments side: Buying, owning and using drugs, some ways of getting the money, some (side)effects caused by using some drugs evading/removing law enforcers - the first half of those will be gone if it becomes legal, the second half could be reduced with stable product quality and prizes + all the cops currently hunting/observing producers and dealers would be free to do their job: Protecting people and hunting other criminals
Then we have the common side crimes around guns and their usage, turning illegal money into legal money, and so on - also be gone if it becomes legal.
-
Its a sensible thing to reduce costs for peaople who share their space & money. But why should this be restricted to two people? If 3 people share their space & money and only 2 get benefits from its pure discrimination. If they fear people would just marry to reduce taxes they should enable their brains because living together and sharing the money/costs would be a fucking high price for so little benefits.
-
Never heard of any case like yours, but i'm also not in amiland so maybe such a thing is possible where you life, but here kids are by law mostly considered the property of their parents, only teens can get something like jail light for minors. Everything a child does here can hit the parents (violating/ignoring parental responsibility)
-
In a growing number of countries loli gets bundled with real ** by law because those who like fictional content must also like real content...
-
Your examples dont work. There would be no dealers at schools anymore, drugs are legal, remember? Forcing anyone to anything is harm and will always be harm. And flashing/public nudity/public sex are bound by public morals, if people dont care there is no harm done and no law needed, but when people care its harm, for some low level, for some traumatic, so it needs to be prevented or punished by laws.
-
While i agree and some drivers end up with a trauma after some suicider jumped before their vehicle, it will be hard to punish the dead for choosing their reckless way of ending their life.

P.S:
Ignore grammar, spelling errors and the like, my brain is occupied by workrelated stuff, just tried and failed to make a break.

Sounds like a dystopia to me.

A little bit yes but you just have to work… maybe better solution would be something like if you dont work and u are able to you get no help no free money or you get thrown out of the country
