If you could write a new law, amend an existing one or completely abolish one .......

Commotion Ocean

What would it be?

I'd write a new law:

Any person, who provides or attempts to provide or conspires to provide or aids or abets the provision of nutritional or dietary information unless he or she is a qualified doctor, general practitioner, dentist, dietician or gastro-intestinal specialist shall be guilty of an offence.

Anyone found guilty of the above shall be tried on indictment and liable upon summary conviction to a prison term not exceeding 6 months or a monetary fine not exceeding €5000 or both.

In other words, "nutritionists" will be outlawed.

I'd allow women in Ireland the right to choice if hey can have an abortion and control over their bodies.

It's a start anyway

Aint Eazy Being Cheezy

If one person is perusing a toilet cubicle of a Monday morning, it shall be an offence for another person to use the one beside it unless all others are also in use. Any person found guilty of this offence shall be punished by a prison term of no less than six months. Said prison will contain only one cubicle for all prisoners.

pidgeoneyes

Minimum sentencing.

That's one way to sour a promising thread...

Fleawuss

For every new law you have to remove two old ones.
*Ducks.

DontThankMe

I'd make a new law anyone on the dole for over 5 years is automatically sentenced to 5 years hard larbour. Then they would know what it is like to be working for 5 years instead of sitting on their asses doing nothing.

failinis

Amend the 8th.

RayM

Anyone who complains about people being on the dole would be forced to quit their job and banned from taking up paid employment for a period of five years.

FortySeven

Outlaw feminism.

maudgonner

Ban the terms: libertard, cuck, sjw, mansplaining, privilege, cultural appropriation, feminazi, snowflake etc etc.

And to appease Fleawuss I would then remove the laws on blasphemy and amend the defamation laws to make free speech easier.

(Yes, I know it's a contradiction. A delightful one. )

Penny Tration

Abortions for some, miniature Irish flags for others.

Sweetemotion

I'd stop tractors from using the motorway.

I thought this would be 5th maybe 6th post, not second.

BettePorter

I'd make it a law that everyone is assumed an organ donor. If you want to opt out you can get a small tattoo in ur armpit or between your toes.

The flying mouse

I would ban suspended sentences , You either go to prison or you don't.

Sorry, I'm bored and type fast

Means Of Escape

Abolish all stealth taxes associated with motoring .

The Young Wan

All peoples must undertake at least two years retail/customers service work.

The driving test must be retaken upon application for the first renewal of the licence.

murpho999

Pubs open on Good Friday and Christmas Day, also end restrictive hours, so you can buy wine in a supermarket for a weekend dinner if doing an early shop.

No provisional driving licence, proper driving course must be completed (not the one we currently have)

Abortion as a choice.

Zero tolerance on drink driving

All companies should offer flextime; the effects on rush hour traffic would be huge.

Children should be forced outside to play at least 1 hour a day

Mobile phone use in cinema would be be automatic jail sentence.

the_syco

Complete separation of church and state, and tax religions, churches, etc.

Faith+1

Make Feminism illegal.

hytrogen

Abolish short-hand writing script on forums and media, ban the bastardisation of the English language into neuvo-trendy hashtags hipsteresque flatulence and other memes, same goes for Irish for that matter! Oh and online "articles" be classified as blogs unless reviewed by more than two editors offline with adequate referencing and citation!

Is going mass not a sufficient sentence?? :P

Ulysses Gaze

Mandatory sentencing terms for Murder, Rape & Sexual Assault, Aggravated Assault. No judicial discretion in these cases.

Also replace concurrent sentencing with consecutive sentencing.

the_pen_turner

equel rights to fathers

darkpagandeath

Blasphemy. And anyone who complains I.E inciting or does violence in the name of said wizard gets Jail.

hytrogen

Make national service an option instead of doing the leaving cert. Especially for young offenders and repeat offenders.
Also while I'm on it, make national service a means to gain grants for attending third level education, some people aren't mature enough to go to uni after that ordeal of a sham that is the leaving cert!

Skatedude

K, a rare, good idea from america. 3 Strikes and it's life in prison, tired of seeing people with dozens of convictions still out getting more strikes

Mr.Crinklewood

Imprisonment/fine for any person who takes longer than one minute to use a bank machine.

As a result of this law women will be allowed withdraw money over the counter at banks 24x7.

heldel00

That no boss should be allowed to impinge on an employee's weekend/ freetime by contacting them unless in the case of an emergency.
I now have "Mondayitis" hours before I should have to endure it!

Get rid of it or keep it?


I'd make sure that politicians that are found guilty of corruption have to pay back every penny in expenses and wages.

I'd also outlaw artificial cheese.

cantdecide

Mandatory patronising glaring at people who try an oppress free speech and/ or thought.

Renegade Mechanic

Reintroduce the death penalty and have it just for motorists who don't dip their headlights until 5 seconds after they've come round the bend.

mansize

Make people who want to live in a Utopian Right Wing world move to an island and prove how right they are

Capt'n Midnight

Keep left unless overtaking.

Fine €1,000

And I’ll have you hung and drawn and quartered…a - and whipped and boiled… and then I’ll chop you up to little bits! Until… until... until you’ve had enough!

And Then I’ll do it some more. And when I’ve finished I’ll take all the little bits and I’ll… I’ll - I’ll jump on them! And I’ll carry on jumping on them until I get blisters... or I can think of something even more unpleasant to do and then I’ll ...

Same for cyclists and slow drivers

Can't beat a bit of blog bashing at the 10am drop-off though!

diomed

Allow politicians, civil servants, semi-state bosses, education heads, hospital heads, Garda heads one five year term.
They would then be disqualified from a position at that level in that or any other organisation for the rest of their lives.
I'd call it the Cull the Fat Cats Law (or C**ts Law)

Drumpot

Ban election posters.

the_pen_turner

make teachers work 8-5 and every weekday just like everyboy else. none of this week off for mid terms and 3 months in the summer.
im sure there are loads of students that could do with a bit of extra tuition

Sweetemotion

Ban civil servants from using the internet during work hours, to bash and call the unemployed lazy.

Give one hundred lashes to every grammar Nazi for every comment they correct.

the_pen_turner

make the tax offices open all day to the public. what do they do for the rest of the day

prinzeugen

Ban all Xmas adverts, shops stocking Xmas goods and public Xmas lighting until the 1st December.

Its the 13th of Nov and some idiot thought today would be a good day to switch the xmas lights on in Grafton St.

We all know Xmas is coming.. Its not a date we are going to forget so no need for the crap in Nov.
