Country music
But that leaves only Western music!
Yup, a more appropriate answer may have been organized religion. But I hate the grotesque displays of money that go into many popular churches/religious orders making them my first target.
When a singlar place of worship stands on several million dollars in property and has its own IT, HR, and accounting departments, and several hundred thousand dollars a month in payroll, its not a place of worship, its a business.
Blowheard broadcasting demogogues like Beck, Limbaugh, Savage, Hannity, etc. Free speech and press are deeply watered down to keep out advocacy of violence disguised as hyperbole. Olbermann too. Worst Person in the World is just asinine.
Corrupt public officials.
Pensions in excess of 40 percent of regular pay for public employees. Sorry fellow liberals, but this makes me sick.
Tax exemptions for churches. Sorry fellow religious persons, but there are too many goofy churches getting a free ride on our tax dollars. Charitable exemptions for helping the sick and poor are fine for religious organizations.
People on my ignore list. Deport them to somewhere else.
I’d like to ban presentialism (aka faceism); the problem is that it’s hard to enforce. Spending more hours at work, being at work when you’re sick, staying 4h past your leaving time waiting for an email which will not be sent before 8am (the person who has to send it refuses to be a berryslave)… does not make anybody a better worker, just a more tired one.
splutters I can’t believe there’s a Blues fan on the Dope. Is nowhere sacred?
You can’t catch me for I am too quick to catch ha ha ha! flashes peace sign
People playing music on their mobiles without using headphones. All squelchers must die!
Smoking.
Punishable by death.
Mmmm, tough one. I thought about private cars, but even outside America, I don’t think a population would stay compliant if you did tht.
I’ll settle for anything even remotely resembling reality television. That and infomercials. Oh, and that TV channel creep thing - every pay channel must have a distinct and fairly narrow ambit, which will be enforced from then on. If it says History on the box, it better be history inside. And no more than a couple or 3 channels on any broad topic, like sports, cooking, cartoons, whatever. Except news, as many of those as you like. But it better be bona-fide news, not talking heads. Those are just political infomercials, and for that, see above.
Oh, and no bathing suits at the beach. Nude or stay home, people.
Texting.
Two people want to ban leggings? I have to admit I’m surprised by that. I fear I don’t understand the dislike for leggings. I’d gladly deal with averting my gaze from unattractive women in leggings for the enjoyment of not averting my gaze from attractive women in leggings. In addition, they seem like a comfy and practical article of clothing.
Smoking, alcohol, texting while driving, militant religious people and athiests (you know, the I’m right, you’re wrong, therefore I don’t like you/think you’re stupid/must do my damnedest to convert you category), people who wear their pants dropped below their rear ends, and pickles.
Elections. (I’m concerned about job security)
Portable music/video players. This includes all portable radios, even those attached to a vehicle, IPods and other MP3 players, MP3 abilities on cell phones, etc. Laptops will not be allowed to play music either.
I don’t care if you use headphones: you look like an idiot, I can still hear it, and, for the love of God, listen to the world around you once in a while.
You’re right. And I guess the list could keep growing.
I’ll add Chris Moyles to the list. Stick to radio where I’m not listening to you.
Amen, brother! ![]()
I think it’s just megachurches you have a problem with. I’m religious, but I can’t stand those monstrosities either. JC himself would probably have had a field day with them (thinking of how he dealt with the moneychangers in the temple - the biggest church here in Winnipeg (puny by megachurch standards btw) I walked in the lobby and right away I could either go left to a coffee shop or go right to a small bookstore selling books, etc., of crap the pastor has put out. This is all well before I get into the sanctuary. Couldn’t help but think of Jesus and the moneychangers there - I’m assuming US megachurches are the same.)
Are small, community churches OK then? (I’ve attended many of those)
I think that’s already in force everywhere. ![]()
My answer: Intolerance. (Would cover about half of those already posted in this thread.)
There’s a kind of sweet irony in the rule, “All Fascists will be immediately executed.”
The only correct answer is “Mimes.”
I assumed that certain things, like political assassinations and mimes, were presumed banned.
