What would be a good law we haven't already heard of?

I’d like to establish an “army” of intelligent reasonable people who would all be issued paintball guns. Whenever they see someone driving aggressively or stupidly, they get to shoot the offending car. Another brigade (perhaps police officers) who see any car with three paintball marks on it (thereby signifying three dumb acts) get to pull the driver over for an automatic ticket. Possibly a beating thrown in. Then they wipe the car clean using special cleaners (not available to laymen).

Problem is, I’d like to be given the paintball duty but I can’t guarantee that on a PMS day I wouldn’t get unfair.

Also: People with too much airline carryon luggage are fined and the mney is distributed to passengers who carry on one small item.

Quit putting decent men and women in jail for simple possession of marijuana. No I don’t smoke, but I think that it’s pathetic when jails are turning out child and wife beaters, thieves, and rapists to keep the nefarious pot smokers locked up.

Anyone convicted of molesting a child, especially a family member, gets shot.

Come on people. We’re using prison space and the death penalty on the wrong criminals!

I’d like to see a law that if any parent brings a young child to either a restaurant or movie theater, and young child gets cranky and noisy, that the parent must *pick up the child and leave the room to calm the child down *.When the child is calm again, then parent can return to previous activity. I’m not talking jail time, but warnings and fines.

Can you see I’ve been frustrated often with this?

[vent] Just because you couldn’t pay for a babysitter, I don’t think a theater full of paying customers have to be forced into hearing your toddler scream. Same goes with nice restaurants (Denny’s, McDonald’s and Chuck E. Cheese are excluded). [/vent]

All trolls shall be instantly banned, their ISP notified, and then they shall be shot. And burned.

What about if someone tries to argue for/against gun control in the wrong forum they be forced to watch re-runs of the Brady Bunch non stop for 124 hours?

Sorry people.

Intelligence tests for prospective parents - you don’t pass, you don’t breed.

I always liked the Texas “He needed killin’” law

seriously, ability to *69 and return call all telemarketers.
Let me waste some of YOUR time!

To heck with *69. If psychic freinds can charge me $4.99 per minute to talk to them I want to be able to charge telemarketers $4.99 to talk to me. If I buy what they’re selling I’ll refund the charge (yea, right).

you don’t need a penis to rape someone.

That’s why I’m all in favor of either the death penalty, or lobotimization.

You also have to have a license to hunt or fish, as well as to vote. I’d like to see a license to breed. Everyone would be sterilized at birth, and have this sterilization removed when the prospective parents can prove their ability to responsibly raise a child: Financialy, emotionaly, (No criminal record, minumum age of 18, the voting age), and they should have some sort of education.

If someone parks in a way that they take up two or more spaces, the first person who needs that space gets to hit the vehicle three times with a crowbar anywhere they want.

There are no good laws. Only tolerable ones.

Fine those people who insist on bringing their screaming little infants into restaurants, who then squall through the whole meal and annoy everyone else.

Start prosicuting kids who file false molestation reports against adults.

Make it against the law for the maker of your new car to charge you $175 for a $5 headlight case that you need replaced.

Make it a law that auto dealers must tell the truth about their cars, financing, insurance and ‘additional needed’ applications.

Make it a law that city counsel members are not the richest members of the community, those who own the most property or those who own the biggest businesses so they can make unbiased decisions.

Lastly, make a law saying that one may not plow down acres of woods and put in a high density community unless the local neighbors agree.

On frivilous lawsuits, some judges are ordering the
attorneys to pay court fees. That should help.

I’m all for the death penalty; in fact, I think if
you are convicted you should be killed in the same
way you did it. No nice injections or even electric
chairs. You beat someone to death, then you get
beaten to death.

Child molesters should be left alone in a room with
the child’s family and a baseball bat.

Annie-Xmas, I think I like the way you think!

Frivolous lawsuits:* Like the prisoner who filed suit against the prison because his jailers refused to provide him with fresh blood, which he claimed was necessary for his ‘religion’.* When cons start doing this crap, their privileges need to be suspended. I read once where there is a ‘jail house’ lawyer (a con smart in the legal system) who spends most of his time helping cons file frivilous suits because he is pissed off that he is in jail.

Lawyers started encouraging the frivolous suits some years ago because they can’t loose even if they loose the case. They get paid either way.

I’d like to see a common sense law. You know, if common sense should have told you not to do something, then you can’t sue someone else for getting hurt by being an idiot.

For example-some kids went to a ski area in the summer, and skateboarded off the ski lift. One of the kids broke his neck, and his parents sued the owners of the ski resort. I would like to say that they lost, but in fact they won. This is stupid. If you decide to act like an idiot, you should be prepared to pay for your actions.

Whatever happened to personal responsibility?

Any politician who tries to have weapons designed specifically for self-defense (stun guns, mace, etc.) outlawed must do battle with a brofessional boxer in a no-holds-barred fight to the death.

They already have this law. Depending on what state you’re in, it’s called “comparative or contributory negligence.” It basically says that you as the plaintiff will have your damages diminished proportionately according to how much the accident (for example) that occurred was your fault.

This has to be the way forward!

Also, I’d like to make it law for customer service agents to have to actually try and solve whatever problem you have instead of blaming the computer for being at fault and cutting you off.

I think there should be a law for people intending to purchase SUVs and mini-vans. In order to buy one you’d have to take a new driving test with a vechicle comparable to the one you want to buy; if you can’t demonstrate the ablity to adaquately park and drive it, you can’t buy it. This of course would only pertain to buying from dealerships, but that’d be a significant improvement.

Along those lines, any owner of a vechicle, large or otherwise, that is found to have intentionally angled up their headlights so they shine into other cars should be fined. They used to check for this during inspections in MA (so says my dad) and they should return to this policy.
