Ultimate ruler of your own country - What do you ban?

Xenophobes

Cults

Jersey Shore

Telemarketing

Door to door sales of anything but cookies.

Iron Maiden? EXCELLENT!! does air guitar

When (not if) I become the supreme ruler everyone will be free to do whatever they want and if they don’t I’ll force them.

I’ll ban inane zombie jokes.

(looks at post)

Damn. I just banned myself.

Politicians.

The OP said it was a small country, we should be able to get it to run without speeches.

Silence! My country runs without words! Everything worth saying can be said by interpretive dance.

Driving slowly in the left lane. Actually, not actively passing other cars while in a lane to their left.

All motor vehicles in cities except for delivery trucks between 6am and 8am and buses.

If that’s not in my power, then I’d make txting while driving a capital crime. Using the phone while driving isn’t 'alf as bad, as your eyes are still on the road, so a few dozen lashes and a 6 months in jail would be a fair punishment.

Cheerful morning people. If you’re happy at six a.m. you are a freak and should live somewhere else.

I’m surprised it hasn’t been mentioned already: leafblowers.

They are the root of all evil, and eliminating them would result in an immediate increase in civility throughout the rest of society.

Jazz
Dogs
Organised religion
Fact-free politics (as supreme leader I would ban all politics, but you know what I mean)
The notion that an opinion or a belief is as good as a fact
Noisy motor vehicles, especially off-road
Mime players and living statues (“learn the words!”)
Soaps, especially the poorly lighted ones (99.99%)

I forgot: British pop music (I am willing to sacrifice the 5 % bearable)
12-18 year old boys, except in a barrel. At 18: the Heinlein trial
Lawyers would be too easy I guess…

Cheating in online games. I would develop an agency with a budget akin to NASA’s in 1965 dedicated to identifying people using aimbots. They will be rounded up and put in a camp built to resemble a Siberian radar station and hunted by my special forces for training purposes.

Also, chicken hotdogs, they’re just gross.

This sort of thing.

Bri2k

This better not be the same thing as miming or you’re the one who will want to leave the country.:smiley:

Ah! A Bill & Ted fan!

Party on dudes!

How can you not like chicken hotdogs?

people who can’t check their emotional reaction to something, be it political, scientific, religious, whatever, and think a minimum of three steps out in a logical manner

I would ban the right of internet users to post threads limiting the expression of others frustration by having them imagine the luxury of a place under their absolute power but only being able to ban one thing.

We, the tyrannical collective, need more :stuck_out_tongue:
