I would create a law that made it so that anyone caught throwing a cigarette butt out of their window had to go back, search until they found it, and eat it.

"child molesters" and "bullet in the head" go together really well. Who cares what we can learn from them.

I am seriously considering adding this to my signature line(s)!!

I am also loving the semi / highway tax reform. I have missed or nearly missed many exits because I was unable to read the signs until I had almost passed them. Ooh, make the trucks (and port cargo containers) lucite! Easier to screen...

OK now I am just ranting... stopping now.

I never encountered this silly game that truckers play on the interstates until I came to Tennessee to see my kids. My daughter and I were on the way back from Nashville and were about 8 cars behind 2 truckers playing what my daughter called "Roadblock" (fairly common I guess). It is two semis going side by side at 40 mph and holding traffic up. I guess they keep it up until someone with a cell phone calls in a report and puts a stop to it, but that doesn't happen immediately. This went on for about 1/2 an hr. before we finally saw them pulled over. Playing cars in semis and cars is dangerous business....this is also a pet peeve of mine.

People who think it's okay to make fun of fat people should be disemboweled, then drawn and quartered. That's after hot pokers are shoved into their eyes of course. Muhahahahahahaha.

Maybe there should be a law about folks who cram their way to the front of the line at the airport, even though they're sitting in coach and scheduled to board in the last group called. ? ??

Or how about that ONE FROO FROO lady who holds up the entire plane because she brought on luggage that SHOULD have been checked (rule: if you're not big enough to hoist it into the overhead, DON"T BRING IT ON BOARD).

Honking should be reserved ONLY for emergencies. It is downright rude to honk at someone because the light is GOING TO TURN Green at some point. Arghhhh... rude, rude, rude.

Don't get me started...

((sigh)) As a cop... don't even get me started on what laws there "should" be. How about having the ones we enforce upheld?? I am sick and tired of arresting and writing citations to just have them plea, take court supv., probation, etc etc for the 20th time in their lives. Sickening!!!

I'd make a law that elderly drivers have to be road tested to renew their drivers licenses every 2 years. I was rear-ended by an 83 year old man who had had a stroke and couldn't pick up his feet to walk, let alone the pedals in the car, was blind in one eye and had no depth perception in the other, and NEVER should have been allowed behind the wheel of a car. My spine was fractured and I'm now considered 25% disabled. Along with that, one of my day care babies was killed, and many lives were changed forrever. This could all be avoided if elderly people were tested more frequently.

Another law I'd make is that judges who make stupid decisions that endanger children should be held liable. Some of the decisions made by judges are criminally stupid!

All done emoting...

and those who had 'issues' with 'non-traditional' (human only) couples could sleep at night.

I like it! Very PC of you to specify "human only". Those animal rights people can be such a pain in the butt.

Definite tax reform. It burns me to no end that because DH and I have a high income we have to pay a higher percentage of taxes. I have no problems with paying more money, but I have a lot of problem with paying a higher percentage. Because we worked our butts off in school, worked our way up the ladder, had the ambition, drive & motivation to find good paying jobs -- don't penalize us more than someone who does not.

Another law -- as much as I'm so left I'm almost off the scale, "child molesters" and "bullet in the head" go together really well. Who cares what we can learn from them.

For the amount of money it takes to keep someone in a high security prison for a year, we could put an awful lot of law-abiding citizens through ivy league schools. if we're going to put that much money out for it, then make prison a punishment. No lawsuits because you didn't get seconds on your KoolAid or because the TV only has 20 channels. You gave up your rights when you chose to break the law. (My father is an ass't warden, so I know well both sides of this argument, I just think the whole situation is ridiculous. Prison needs to be a deterrent, not a safe haven).

Stands up and cheers and whistles and claps and cheers some more!!

:clap2: :clap2::clap2::clap2:

I love your answer Weetsin. I have been on a campaign lately about this issue. It just frosts me that so much time is spent trying to prevent same sex marriages. I'm not sure the issue really is "marriage", but more a recognized union. It doesn't have to be for the purposes of sex .....

oh some day others will be perfect like me and this will become so crystal clear. Until then the insanity will continue.

I definitely agree with getting the old people off of the road. My boyfriend was creamed by a senile, half-blind confused 90 yr old woman who pulled out right in front of him and hit him. She said she couldn't see very well--Anybody over 70 should be required to take a driving test and pass it with flying colors each year to keep their license. It is much too dangerous. Also, I think we should have separate roads for the semi-trucks. I, too hate their racing games that they play. It also seems that the most obnoxious truckers screwing with you on the roads are the ones that have major debris flying out hitting your window OVER AND OVER AGAIN while you are unsuccessfully trying to get away from them. Ughh...

OOOOOOOOOh. I could do this forever.

All child molesters, on their first offense, should get locked up forever along with chemical castration. This goes for the sickos that get caught in internet stings too.

Anyone who kills someone should spend the rest of their life behind bars. no more 'paroled in 8 years' or anything like that.

basically i think that all of our penalties should become harsher. it is crazy how relaxed we are with our criminals in this country.

now for the silliness.

I think it should be a law that if you go anywhere with your children, they should be attached to a leash that is attached to you. I am totally with wheetsin on this one. I am willing to do that with my kids, but they know better too and are well behaved. I got slammed into by a 6 kids riding in and pushing a cart in walmart one time. They hit me so hard my hip popped and i fell on the ground. The mother was in the aisle over. Rob went and found her...the kids had scattered like roaches, and the woman rounded them up, and walked away. no forced apology, no apology from her. she didn't even look at me. she is lucky i wasn't more seriously hurt.

I think it should be a law that if you work in any sort of customer service capacity in this nation that you speak perfect english! i don't care where you are from. or if you have an accent. If you can't understand me when I ask you a question, or you answer me in half english/half some other language, you should not be in that job!!!!!

I think it should be a law that if you work in any sort of job that handles money, specifically giving me change in any capacity....you should be able to count!!!!!!!!! did you know that most mcdonalds screens not only show how much change to give, but actually show what coins to use and how many?!?! that is sickening!!! why is this country becoming so stupid? And why are we supporting it!!!

ok...this is raising my BP i am gonna take a break from this thread LOL

I live in Florida.....

My new law would have EVERYONE over a certain age take a yearly drivers test!

oh i agree DOC. it blows down here when all the snowbirds come to town.

I'm on the same wave length as Jack..

chocolate = 0 CALORIES :hungry:

People who spit, fart or pick their nose in public should be

Okay, my big gripe is parents who are ignorant enough to take young children with them to a theater to watch a movie that is totally inappropriate for kids. I have actually watched parents, after a child has gotten interested in the movie, throw a coat over a child's head to keep her from witnessing what is happening on the screen! And all the while the child is fighting to get out from under the coat and screaming, "I want to see!" My concern is partly for the children who are subjected to sexual and violent scenes they should never have to experience, but also I am irritated because it ruins a movie for me when I am so worried about what these children are experiencing. I am actually incapable of concentrating on a movie when this happens because of my anger at these selfish parents and concern for the children. If you can't afford a sitter, tough! Go to a children's movie with your kids and wait until they are grown to see the movies you want to see! There ought to be a law!!!
