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

It's kind of petty but, it should be illegal to have stopped traffic in front of me.

" false accusations of a crime carry the same punishments as the crime you accused someone of."

And you just wiped out Congress, lol.

Exactly.

Possible third thing as well, all public office positions now have term limits.

 

[NateDawg59]

Ok, my list:

1. Ban reaction videos. Burn in an everlasting fire videos reacting to reaction videos.

2. Ban Taylor Swifts' boyfriends from all media appearances.

3. Ban singing competition shows.

4. Ban Twitter/X

5. Ban one company owning all the things. See Google, Microsoft etc.

There, I just made TV and the internet bearable.

I'm okay with this, but mostly ban the mixed signals you get from road workers.

You can have that a lot of places right now. Venezuela, China, etc.

And literally every developed country not the US...

I would eliminate government, banish the greedy individuals of the wealthy 1% to an area where their money meant nothing, get rid of processed foods, end sports betting so the games would be unscripted again, make it illegal to date or spend money on toxic women, ban scripted reality tv, make male jealousy cock blocking a federal offense ... I'll stop here for now.

How would any law exist without government?

Also, make capitalism illegal - punishable by death.

I won't deny that. And, even in the U.S where the amendment is in place, they have to deal with an overstepping government too. Like all things in life, there are no easy answers.

Just remember your favorite game devs are using capitalism to keep games going. Nevermind the ones using it and ignoring the games. The forum we're discussing this on has to pay the bills somehow.

Absolute power.

but i did look up an example:

The medieval Icelandic Republic was one example which has been well documented. There were no police, and there was no king or president, but there were laws, which the Lawspeaker recited before the Althing. If someone stole your cattle or murdered your kinsman, you could sue him, and if he refused to pay a judgement, he could be declared outlaw, and you and your family and friends could kill him if he did not flee overseas.

 

[NateDawg59]

The medieval period is an entirely different subject. Those people killed everybody for pretty much any reason. If the king or queen stole your cattle or killed your kinsman, you had two choices. Do jack about it or start a rebellion. In a time period where you could die from a head cold, I guess everybody was harder to get along with, lol.

They really had no concept of human rights at the time, and absolute power was the norm.

I hate to say it but sometimes I wonder if the pendulum isn't swinging back towards it.

Pendulums be swinging

Free bread

 

[MattShizzle]

Obviously legalize prostitution, but make sure it's not forced. Like, same as people can't be forced to do any job.

Universal basic income, universal healthcare, generous child tax credits, plenty of R&D dollars for tech research.
