Ban politicians?

 

[Grimmige]

Well... I like the genre of rape in games so maybe that would be the law I would break If I could ... Just Im afraid of doing something like that in real life lol

 

[malvius]

All news outlets must be neutral, no sensationalism, no slants, agendas, bias, nadda. If it is facts, it will be presented as such, if it is speculation or unknown, it will be very clearly addressed in no uncertain terms as such.
Age limits and term limits for all politicians of every level
any promises made by a person in a position of power must be carried out to the best of their ability
the only income they are allowed is the one provided to them by the position and they are subject to quarterly audits by a 3rd party

How would the government be funded?

 

[ApocalypseSurvivor]

Incest should be legal and approved moral right.

lower age restictions

 

[MattShizzle]

lower age restictions

On what? Age of consent in my state is actually 16. Drinking age should definitely be 18, like in most developed countries. Not that that would affect me, I turned 21 in 1995.

How would the government be funded?

I don't know what he's defining as a tax, but other sources of revenue are tariffs and fees. Even prior to federal income tax and increased government spending relative to GDP in 1920 there were VAT/sales taxes and commercial taxes though. If you take the Libertarian idea of people paying the government only for services they use it would definitely require a reduction in government spending beyond even what was being spent in the 19th century.

That would be pretty awful for anyone who couldn't afford it. Sales tax is the most regressive tax there is. People would be starving on the street.

Actually age restrictions don't work, 90% of adult games players are kids. They all play GTA, Witcher, Mafia, Doom etc

Funfact: age of consent won't magically stop people from fucking and taking drugs, just saying

You could conceptually have a progressive sales tax by exempting store-bought food and household items and having significantly higher rates for vices and luxury goods. The government could probably comfortably skim 20% of yacht and multi-million dollar home sales.

 

[ツSisterSexualシ]

Fire all politicians, all lobbyists with rockefellers, blackrocks etc and make the uncensored AI rule the planet!

......and see what happens......

 

[Jude6]

Animal abuse gets you the death penalty

 

[andflw]

No Taboo - absolutely no sexual taboos
Polyandry and Polygamy - go nuts with sexual partners

 

[Kalalif]

I'm tired of corrupted politicians, so death penalty for corruption and lobbying.

I suspect this boils down to which unnamed historian suit your preferred narrative.
Blanket statements about any age you have not lived in yourself does a disservice to science and history.
I suppose the following sources are all bogus then; since they are from a wiki page:

It's not about my historians. It's about the general consensus on this "law" of historians about Middle Age period.
The general consensus is that it is a myth in the form we commonly refer to (the right of the Lord to *have sex* with brides the first night of their marriage).

(...) evidence of its existence in Europe is all indirect (...) and it seems likely that the droit du seigneur amounted, in effect, only to another tax of this sort.

Some myth are hard to crush (e.g. Middle Age is usually depicted as a Dark Age): ius primae noctis is used also in Braveheart even if there are no historical evidences that this right was ever used in the country.
