    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.

    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.

    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)

    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.

    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.

    :eek: I'm hereby forming the underground GNR: "Grammar-Nazi Resistance". Our mission is to call out, and correct, everybody who "passed" the leaving cert. and still can't write properly. A certain percentage of lee-way will be provided, but if two or more corrections have to be made, that poster will be "disappeared". Automatic 4 limb removal and future disappearance at a random time for their / there / they're offenders. There is literally no excuse for that one.

    You have been warned:mad:

    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'll stop you there. Some nutritionists, depending on their qualification know far more about nutrition than clinicians.

    New law: the 2nd Monday in July would become a bank holiday for Famine memorial day.
    Amend law: Minimum sentencing, with 25 years minimum for murder. We in Kilkenny will have a convicted murderer getting out of prison in January who will have served 7 years for murdering 3 people. Totally ridiculous
    Completely abolish: Let all the people of this country vote for the senators and remove the elitist electorate system that is very outdated and not very democratic.

    Considering the billions that the US just spent I think election posters aren't that bad.

    I'd legalize all drugs and licence and tax the sale of them.
    I'd also legalize prostitution and tax earnings.
    I'd also tell any biddy that rings Joe Duffy to complain about this to fcuk off, criminalising these activities does not work.

    I'd get rid of both religion and Irish from our schools, we waste a criminal amount of time on these and they're useless. If parents feel strongly enough about either of them, let them teach their kids in their own time. I'd kick the religious orders out of schools completely.

    I'd totally change planning laws to make it easier to build important large infrastructural projects and conversely, much more difficult to build one off housing in the middle of nowhere.

    Finally I'd rip up all the interurban rail lines and replace them with greenways. We are too small an island to be funding interurban rail.
