    Hurling faeces at politicians ... should be seen as fair political comment, and not a breach of the peace, your Honour.

    How bought something of real worth, like self-defense items? Pepper Spray, Tasers, Handguns, Knives.

    Gay Marriage, Nuclear Power [in Moderation] should be legalized.
    Tax on Alcohol and Fags should be increased [Def the Fags!, maybe not the Booze]. Jaywalking should be illegal on busy primary roads and in Cities.
    Marijuana should be legalized with limits on how much you can buy. Maybe only for over 21's. Prostitution being legalized would allow safer ''operations'', the profession could be relegated. Abortion should be there if needed, for more extreme cases.

    Recycling and being an organ donor shouldn't be optional, it should be enforced!! Basics to kee the planet green and people alive!!

    A lot relies on the separation of Church and State which is uber slow in Eire.

    +1 on the knives actually. It is an infinitely valuable tool when used correctly. It should be legal to have a visible knife, like clipped onto a belt or a pocket, and illegal to have a concealed one.

    Duno where I'd stand with using one in self defence though. Depends on if the attackers have any weapons I guess.

    I can imagine it being allowed if an elderly man gets mugged by some boxer scumbag.

    Thats the real worth of it people forgot - last year we had a thread about a US company building guns tailored to the elderly. Everyone shook their heads in disbelief. Fair play to the gunmaker though. Geriatrics need protection too.

    Gay marriage
    It is so sad that my fabby friends can't get married :( Its a fact also that gay marriages, on average, stay together more than straight marriages.

    Cannabis/hash and ecstacy.
    The health effects of it is minimal. If it were legalised, the horrible drug politics would be reduced and it would be more controlled. Also with ecstacy you wouldnt get dangerous concotions.

    Abortions
    because women should not feel bad for having an abortion.

    What possible reason people have to take that drug is beyond me tbh. It makes you grind your teeth to bits and leaves you fcuked for days afterwards, and for what..a couple of hours of being loved up.

    Mushrooms on the other hand...

    That certainly didn't happen to me.

    Euthanasia is one I really think should be legal.

    I agree with the first sentence but I don't think the planet can ever be healthy with modern day humans mauling it.

    I vote for euthanasia.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,971 ✭✭✭Holsten


    Marijuana, Euthanasia, Abortion.

    Probably a boat load more drugs too.

    /Pulls on pedantic pat hat

    Eh if Gay marriage is illegal then how can Gay marriages stay togther longer the straight marriages:pac: They are illegal!

    /Removes pedantic pat hat and carefuly folds and puts it back in its case


    Nimrods who trespass on your property / break into your home should be fair game for whatever the fcuk you want to do to them. Shotgun to the face, flame thrower, pack of ravenous rabid mongrel dogs, baseball with nails, hurley to the puss, repeated kicking in the nads until you have to swop legs from fatigue, skinned alive, removal of finger nails with pliers, electric drill to the knee caps, buried alive..... you get the idea.

    A neighbour came across a member of a native indigenous peoples who frequent the sides of our roads, sell carpets and usually drive Hiace vans in his back garden recently. When he challenged said person they asked for directions to the local shop as they were lost and had wondered into his back garden in search of a litre of milk and a batch loaf!

    Ya right. Just one second me ould mucker, I want you to meet my good friend Mr 12 bore double barrell.

    Shotgun to the face time........

    Gay marriage is legal in several countries, namely Belgium, Spain, Canada, South Africa, Norway, and Sweden

    You're a disgrace to this hat and all it stands for.

    The allowing of physical violence by normal patrons to the cinema on those who use mobile phones,continually talk during main feature or just generally act the idiot whilst disturbing the entertainment of the vast majority who have paid good money to see such film.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,969 ✭✭✭robby^5


    Cannabis (prohibition doesnt work), Abortion (forcing women to go abroad is ridiculous and just a hinderence on them), Prostitution (it's a profession which is not going away, lets make it safer by regulating it) and Gay Marriage (if you dont see why... there is no hope for you).

    "fabby" not all gay people are "fabby" disco bunnies. If gay people aren't allowed to get married then how could the marrage last longer in the first place ?

    You know ecstacy was a sliming drug with the "love everyone" side effects

    What?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,931 ✭✭✭Prof.Badass


    I'd make pills containing the following substances otc from pharmacies (18 plus of course);

    Alprazolam, amphetamine, ghb, ketamine, lsd, methylphenidate, morphine, psilocybin.

    Research would be put into identifying a non-toxic synthetic cannabinoid and that would be put in a pill and sold in a simmilar way to the ones above, also meOPP (or simmilar) if it found to be non-toxic.

    Research would be put into a concoction of drugs that mimic mdma without side-effects or "loss of magic". This pill would also be put on sale in a simmilar fashion.

    Legalise blasphemy. The ban represents an unholy alliance between religious fundamentalists and the PC-brigade who want to censor criticism of radical Islamists involved in terrorism.

    I'm getting in the queue and saying soft drugs such as marijuana/hashish.

    They're as much a part of society as alcohol and tobacco now, why should a certain section of intoxicant users be criminalized while drunken scum are wandering the streets committing random acts of violence?

    It makes no fúcking sense.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,407 ✭✭✭Quint


    Rape. Drink driving would be handy too. Imagine being to be able to get locked, go out driving to rape someone?
