If you could introduce a new law...?

...what would it be and what punishment would you assign?

I would pass a law that any offense against the elderly, be it fraud or violence be punished at double the rate of the crime against younger people. The elderly built what these young people have and it is up to them to help take care of the older's as the older's did the ones that come to this age before them.

The people who put the wrapping and stickers on Cd's/DVD's should be the first in line against the wall come the revolution.

It would be illegal to do the following:

68mph in the middle lane for ever and a day. I mean how do these people ever get off the motorway? Penalty: Picked up while driving (as they never get out of the middle lane) by a Chinook with a magnet and flown in to a bridge parapet.

Driving with your fog lights on no matter what the weather is doing.
Penalty: Execution by slow severing of limbs with a rusty hack saw.

Possession of a caravan.
Penalty: Death by burning.

Not allowing cops to cover for each other. Make it an obligation to give lie detector tests while investigating grievances filed by citizens

I'd make a law against any president who allows their approval rating to slip below 40%. The punishment would be being forced to stand in a wet concrete sidewalk until it hardens and then anyone from the public would be allowed to do anything they want to them until they're dead.

Then their corpse would be jackhammered out and tossed in the nearest sewage lagoon for "processing".

As a Canadian, my first would be the Death Penalty would make a comeback.

I'd also like to see our social workers hanged by their ankles in town square where the town can dole out punishment when a child in their care is still starved to death by his / her parents (I can provide names of several where I live). Of course, the parents of the child would be hanged right beside the social worker.

People who cannot, or will not follow the rules of the road. IE. driving 45 in an 80 zone. Punishment - flogging, fines, and loss of license, and of course their picture on the front cover of all newspapers so that we can report them if they drive again.

Bullying. In any shape or form. Punishment - anything that their victim wants them to be put through, whether just embarassment, bullying also, etc., etc. All punishment is at the descretion of the one (or more) that was the brunt of their bullying.

These are just a few. I'm sure if I thought long and hard about it, I could come up with more. Main one though, is the "slow" or what I call "Sunday drivers" NEED to get off the road.

I don"t know about passing a law but I would love to see all Politicians wired to a "lie detector" when being interviewed. I would pass a law however that all paedophiles would have to be "castrated in public"

redistribution of land.

About 0.28% of the population of England and Wales own nearly 64% of the land.

I'd share it about.

A lot of it get passed down from father to son, all that inbred rich sh1t that's been going on for about 500 years.

But just to make sure they didn't get fu*ked they make a law in the EU that if it was ever needed by the government they would be appropriately compensated - cun7s!

Er, where would you like me to start?!?!

I would introduce an international law powerful enough to put out of power any Head of State who is being suspected of improper leadership and mismanaging a country. Punishments will vary depending on the offence.

Example:-Saddam should not be executed if found guilty (death is something which everyone has to go through), instead he should be sent into hard labour in a community surrounded by people who were victims of his regime.

not exactly a new law, but perhaps a constitutional amendment limiting the supreme court's ability to overturn congressional action. also term limitations for supreme court judges. we don't need senile people running the country)
