Isn't that a no participant thread law law?

You could try to create a law to counteract it, but I'm not sure how well that would go for you.
I don't believe you. Get over it.

I'm not sure that you would need to. My my own rules, my own rules wouldn't stick anyway.

Remove laws banning marijuana and reintroduce laws governing the consumption and sale of marijuana.

Similar idea with prostitution.

Give police more power to stop and search cars and so on.

Relax laws against people defending their property or other people's property.

Possibly a death penalty for some severe crimes in severe circumstances.


Are you ready for the fire? We are firemen. WE ARE FIREMEN! The heat doesn’t bother us. We live in the heat. We train in the heat. It tells us that we’re ready, we’re at home, we’re where we’re supposed to be. Flames don’t intimidate us. What do we do? We control the flame. We control them. We move the flames where we want to. And then we extinguish them.

Impersonation is treason.

I need to add:

men wanting to shave their faces and/or bodies will need to submit photos to me for prior approval.

Except Mark Wahlberg, Doug McDermott, and Matt Damon who will be required to be clean shaven all the time.


And Brett Favre:  Don't even think about shaving anything.  You too Bon Jovi, Sam Elliot, Chuck Norris, and Peter Horton.
 The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.

I guess you don't agree with the 4th amendment.

Clean elections. Campaigns are publicly funded by the government. You don't need millions or billions of dollars anyway. Just explain your policy positions and qualifications.
Debates are already televised anyway.

1) Every nation has to adhere to the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. http://www.un.org/en/universal-declarati...index.html
2) Anyone who manufactures any product is responsible for the cost of safe disposal of that product and any byproducts. This includes emissions for example.
3) Complete elimination of all nuclear, chemical, and biological weapons.

How would you enforce #1 and #3?

I took the question as more of fantasy law than an actual attempt at creating enforceable international laws.
If god was real he wouldn't need middle men to explain his wants or do his bidding.

I don't disagree with it, but my definition of probable cause might be different from the official probable cause.
I'm not American but I think we have a similar law.
