If you were in charge, what rules would you make?

I listened to the radio recently and this woman said that the government would want to make sanitary towels free :rolleyes:.

This has made me ask here that if you were in charge, what rules would you make?

Mine would be NO SMOKING ANYWHERE.

Why would you roll your eyes at sanitary towels being free? It's a basic requirement for much of the population.

No problem with that myself as long as they also made Gillette razors free also.

Smoking in designated places for some, miniature flags for others.

Food is an essential requirement for the entire population and we pay for that, let's have a bit of perspective here...

Anyone who is me drinks for free.

I would bring in a rule that all rules must be adhered to. Why bring in rules and then ignore them?

Because there are a lot of stuff we have to pay for that are basic requirements, food is a big one. I rolled eyes because in the end, we will all say that everything should be free.

Huh. You're right.

I thought I'd try on a feminist hat. One where perspective is missing. Didn't like it.

Great idea, seeing as women are generally expected to shave too.

Anyway, I've a list as long as my arm of rules coming in after I stage my benevolent coup.

1. People who take more than 45 seconds to use an ATM are going in the gulag.

2. Likewise people who take more than a second to move off at a green light.

3. Likewise people who can't use the Walkinstown roundabout properly.

4. Umbrellas will be banned everywhere except the golf course.

5. Opaque black tights will be outlawed between the May bank holiday weekend and October 1st.

6. Statutory "Sunny Day Leave" to be brought in.

I've loads more.

It's somewhat more socially acceptable for men to go without shaving than women to go without sanitary pads. Women are expected also to shave.

It's not the mere fact that it's essential; it's that it is an essential that is required of only half the population.

Any roundabout really.

Winterlong wrote:

As if voter turnout numbers aren't low enough.

Mine would be equal distribution of wealth. There is just no need for some people to have billions when so many have literally nothing. You can talk about the free market all day long, when the rich write the laws with their chequebooks all that is gone to pot.

Hmm let me see now.

It wouldn't be a democracy. I would be your Supreme Ruler.
Like Dial Hard mentioned I too would have Gulags. In to them would go;

People who take up two seats unnecessarily on public transport.

People who listen to music or whatever without earphones on public transport.

There would be compassion trials. So a series of tests to determine whether or not you are a kind and caring human being.

Public displays of affection will be banned. Those engaging in such won't even make it to the Gulag. It will be punishment by death carried out by your Supreme Ruler. Me.

Anyone found taking photos of themselves in the gym will be force fed a diet of garlic cheese chips and pints in the Gulag.

Anyone found taking photos of themselves with a stupid duck face will have to kiss a steady stream of ducks asses in, you guessed it, the Gulag.

Escalator training to be mandatory. If you want to stand and let the escalator/travelator do all of the work..no problem but stand aside.
