I don't know about everyone else, but I'm sick of pot ... and I don't even use the stuff! That's all this forum is talking about lately ... So .... if we could make this a perfect world ... which laws would you like in effect and which laws should be dismantled?
My wish list:
Senior Citizens should NEVER have to worry about their next meal or a roof over their heads.
More prison time (along with counceling) for Child abusers,and sex offenders
Stricter laws on animal abuse
Reform the welfare system to where it does not encourage teens to have babies year after year
Reverse discrimination laws should be updated and enforced
Big businesses should have mandatory laws for cleaning up after themselves and also be enforced
I'm sure I will think of more later ...
Illegal drug dealers ... throw the book at 'em
Illegal drug users ... Time, community service and lot's of therapy
Oh, and not to worry, I'm not running for anything  And I don't have all the detailed answers for my list ... just rambeling

#1. I agree, but shouldn't they be rewarded for saving as well?
More prison time (along with counceling) for Child abusers,and sex offenders
#2. Isn't 20 years to life enough? If you hate them that much, why not the death penalty?
Stricter laws on animal abuse
#3. I see a pattern developing here. More laws, more prison! It'll solve all our problems!
Reform the welfare system to where it does not encourage teens to have babies year after year
#4. That's been done already. That's why it's not discussed any longer.
Reverse discrimination laws should be updated and enforced
#5 It's us white people against the darkies.
Big businesses should have mandatory laws for cleaning up after themselves and also be enforced
I'm sure I will think of more later ...
#6 As long as you don't have to pay for it.
Illegal drug dealers ... throw the book at 'em
#7 Yes, prison and prohibition will solve all our problems just like it did in the 30's. I thought you weren't going to talk drugs?
Illegal drug users ... Time, community service and lot's of
therapy
#8 Want to talk drugs? OK
What about legal drugs? Are they somehow less harmful or less addictive because of their current legal status?

Your kidding right?
I hope so, because, that BS treaty would really hurt a lot of business, and would also make alot of stuff very expensive.
Not to mention the US would be the most hard pressed vs the other industrialized nations.
Another proposed treaty to worry about is the 'Law of the Sea', Under LOST, a global U.N. agency called the International Seabed Authority, or ISA, would take control of the world's oceans, seven-tenths of the earth's surface. The ISA would not be accountable to dues-paying members but would be a self-financing entity imposing a tax on countries that exploit natural resources on the ocean floor.
Now thats BS....
I for one would wish that the US would pull out of the UN, bulldoze the UN building into the east river, and then tell them all treaties are here-by null and void.
I wish that we would return to our true roots of a Constitutional Republic.
I wish for the repeal of the 16th Admendment.
I wish that our troops will all come home safe and alive.
I wish socialists would just go away...

I wish minnow would stop using multiple usernames, don't you agree Uncle Ben? You have 4 posts so far, and all of them look identical to what minnow/kid would say.

Strange U.S. Sex Laws
[excerpted from Net newsgroup post 2/96 and other sources - Note: The
accuracy of these purported laws is questionable. Also, since the
official Library position is that all sex should be outlawed - unless
our beloved Head Librarian Ralf is a participant - we urge all patrons
to use all means at their disposal to have the laws below enacted in
their localities. - Staff]
-- In Bakersfield, California, anyone having intercourse with Satan
must use a condom. (An asbestos one we presume.)
-- In Oblong, Illinois, it's punishable by law to make love while
hunting or fishing on your wedding day.
-- In Minnesota, it is illegal for any man to have sexual intercourse
with a live fish. (Apparently it's OK for woman.)
-- No man is allowed to make love to his wife with the smell of garlic,
onions, or sardines on his breath in Alexandria, Minnesota. If his wife
so requests, law mandates that he must brush his teeth.
-- Warn your hubby that after lovemaking in Ames, Iowa, he isn't
allowed to take more than three gulps of beer while lying in bed with
you -- or holding you in his arms.
-- Bozeman, Montana, has a law that bans all sexual activity between
members of the opposite sex in the front yard of a home after sundown --
if they're nude.
-- In hotels in Sioux Falls, South Dakota, every room is required to
have twin beds. And the beds must always be a minimum of two feet apart
when a couple rents a room for only one night. And it's illegal to make
love on the floor between the beds!
-- The owner of every hotel in Hastings, Nebraska, is required to
provide each guest with a clean and pressed nightshirt. No couple, even
if they are married, may sleep together in the nude. Nor may they have
sex unless they are wearing one of these clean, white cotton
nightshirts.
-- An ordinance in Newcastle, Wyoming, specifically bans couples from
having sex while standing inside a store's walk-in meat freezer!
-- A state law in Illinois mandates that all bachelors should be called
master, not mister, when addressed by their female counterparts.
-- In Romboch, Virginia, it is illegal to engage in sexual activity
with the lights on.
-- In Merryville, Missouri, women are prohibited from wearing corsets
because "the privilege of admiring the curvaceous, unencumbered body of
a young woman should not be denied to the normal, red-blooded American
male."
-- It's safe to make love while parked in Coeur d'Alene, Idaho. Police
officers aren't allowed to walk up and knock on the window. Any
suspicious officer who thinks that sex is taking place must drive up
from behind, honk his horn three times and wait approximately two
minutes before getting out of his car to investigate.
-- A law in Helena, Montana, mandates that a woman can't dance on a
table in a saloon or bar unless she has on at least three pounds, two
ounces of clothing. (Ouch! These pasties hurt!)
-- Anywhere in the U.S., it's illegal to use any live endangered
species, excepting insects, in public or private sexual displays, shows
or exhibits depicting cross-species sex. (Insectophiles apparently were
successful in their lobbying efforts.)
-- Lovers in Liberty Corner, New Jersey, should avoid satisfying their
lustful urges in a parked car. If the horn accidentally sounds while
they are frolicking behind the wheel, the couple can face a jail term.
-- In Carlsbad, New Mexico, it's legal for couples to have sex in a
parked vehicle during their lunch break from work, as long as the car or
van has drawn curtains to stop strangers from peeking in.
-- Women aren't allowed to wear patent-leather shoes in Cleveland, Ohio
- a man might see the reflection of something "he oughtn't!"
-- No woman may have sex with a man while riding in an ambulance within
the boundaries of Tremonton, Utah. If caught, the woman can be charged
with a sexual misdemeanor and "her name is to be published in the local
newspaper." The man isn't charged nor is his name revealed.
-- It is illegal for any member of the Nevada Legislature to conduct
official business wearing a penis costume while the legislature is in
session.

It is amazing a new poster just joined named Uncle Ben and the posts are almost identical to Kid, minnow, minnow supporter or whatever they are. The only difference is there isn't any name calling yet.

I'm not kidding about the Kyoto accord. It's pretty arrogant of our government to poo-pooh it because it would "would really hurt a lot of business, and would also make alot of stuff very expensive [, n]ot to mention the US would be the most hard pressed vs the other industrialized nations."
It'd finally make big industry in the US accountable to something bigger than itself. Would that be such an awful thing? And maybe it would make stuff more expensive. I don't know about others, but I'd rather pay a bit more for something than take a cost cut at the expense of the global environment. Plus, we're one of the biggest economies in the world. It would obviously hit us harder than other industrialized nations. That's no excuse for us to back out and say that we have no obligation to protect the Earth and the global environment. Argh. It's no law, but I wish that Americans as a culture and government would realize that we have responsibilities to more than just ourselves.
On the Uncle Ben thing... that's odd. I was thinking the same thing last night, collector. I especially adore his signature.
