What would you ban?

I'd ban push to talk phones, bluetooth headsets (We do have fun at work making fun of them, as the people look like they're aruging with themselves), rap music, rappers, Paris Hilton, Lindsay Lohan, and all the other stupid celebs that clutter up the papers, Zunes, fanboys, etc.
 
I would ban those stupid heelies or whatever they're called.

1. The Mighty Mouse (why, Apple, why?)
2. France (I'm just kidding, you cheese-eating-surrender-monkeys!:D )
3. Jar Jar Binks (uhhh... just ban all of SW Episode I)
4. People who carry around small animals as fashion accessories.
5. Celebrities who don't wear underwear.
6. Cancer.
7 The letters "Q" and "C"

...That's all that comes to mind at the moment.
 
Kudos to the few who believe in banning nothing, and appreciate freedom :)

As major of Qtown, I would be quite lenient about everything except automated traffic cameras. They would be banned/prohibited/outlawed, and anybody who even suggested installing them would be jailed.

Any place that people think "needs" a traffic camera would be better off with one more lane, and 1/2 second longer yellow light at intersections.

I'd ban smoking everywhere except for in the privacy of your home. Smokers seems to think that the world is their personal ashtray, tossing butts out the car window, stomping them out on the street, leaving them all over beaches. Since they can't control their pathetic little habits, I'd put the rules in place to do it for them.

I hate that smokers think it's acceptable to litter. The second-hand smoke thing is only 1/1000th as annoying to me as the littering. I say let people smoke anywhere, but if they litter, then taser their lips. Or, you know, some other, more sane, punishment.
 
I would ban:

1 The idea of private banks creating our currency- The Federal Reserve.

2 The direct taxation of persons on Earth.

3 Government from making laws that affect the private lives of people. This is different from legally defining something, ie. gay marriage would be part of a legal definition of marriage.

4 The World Bank and The World Monetary Fund.

5 Actually, I'm not a fan of banks…

6 Credit. Loans. You wouldn't need either if the US didn't run a fiat currency. (This affects the whole world actually.)

7 Free Trade.

8 Corporations.

9 About a hundred government departments.

10 Bush's from political offices. :D


I tried to offer helpful suggestions.

furcalchick- you are right, they only indoctrinate kids with propaganda in the schools these days. Which makes me wonder why you would ban short flights. Do you think global warming is real? Do you think it's harming the ozone? These are both propaganda lines from school.

I'm sorry I'll have to be Do'tor (blank) from now on, but if it'll get rid of Jar Jar and cancer, it might be worth it.
 
You want bans? Let's go global!

I would ban France. For that matter, all of Europe, East and West. You want a guaranteed job for life? It's called prison.

Actually, England could stay, only because the Royal Family is so damned amusing. But either bring the Iron Lady back or clone Winston. PM's are more efficient and entertaining when they have less fashion sense and more attitude.

Canada, I wouldn't ban, because it'll be states #52 through whatever. Puerto Rico was in line first, sorry.

And Asia. Quit being so industrious, or you're right out. You're nothing but suck-ups for all that. Just make watches, cameras, and Macs that don't break, and shut up.

I would reinstate the Soviet Union. By force, if necessary. There was a certain zen-like balance to the world in the eighties...

South America, build a road now and then. Banana republics are fine for games and trendy clothing stores, but not real countries. Otherwise, you're on Simon's naughty list.

I would let Australia stay, though. I like blokes named Bruce, and they're mostly criminals, like us. "Australia, Australia, Australia, we love 'ya, amen!" Let's get pissed, mate!

Unfortunately, New Zealand needs to get a new attitude or they'll be on the Jurassic Park site selection list. We likes our nukes, you gotta, too.

Lastly, all the satire-challenged would be banned, along with those that take themselves and their causes way too seriously. :p

you sound like my kind of person. i don't like corporations (there are a few exceptions), i don't trust most of them at all, and even though making money isn't evil, many are lacking of ethics and do whatever it takes to make a buck, and treat their employees like dirt. they tend to be ultra greedy and want to force us to buy their stuff in some cases. plus, it seems like corporations are controlling the government, but i won't talk about it here.

i think global warming is real, but not to the dramatic hype level many have put it to be (florida will be underwater in 100 years). we need to stop throwing away the earth like nothing and take care of it, because we have other issues. it's all about making a quick buck now instead of thinking about the future.

the public school system seems to be is just about memorizing facts for a corporate test that doesn't matter. it's all about dumbing down the population.

some more: alot of these drugs would be banned in my world, all they do is cause more pain. also, restrictions on car usage in cities, ride a bike instead.

and the short airline flights are about those under 300 miles by land travel. i would really like to revive the rail business for other options.

O. M. G. Cassie. It's either soooo wrong or awesomely right. I'll be stoppin' there.

furcalchick- for sure the planet is obviously heating up, and after all the research I've done myself, over the internet, I'm pretty sure it has to do with sunspots. If there aren't any, we go ice age. Take Galileo's discovery of the sunspots for example. He documented them and as best he could showed them to other scientists and astronomers of his time, and they had no doubt of his findings. But when they invented the cool new telescope to actually view the sunspots with resolution, they didn't find any. And then the mini ice age we are coming out of started. Quincidence? I think the real quincidence is the fact that the planet started heating up at the same time as the industrial revolution began. ;)
 
Ban ban, what to ban... lets see:

1) Windows (OS)
2) "happy pill" commercials (although they are funny)
3) Hate
4) Smoking
5) death (yes, I'd like to live forever)
6) unnecessary cell phone usage
7) age limits (I'd like a responsibility test)
8) loud music (ear pain)
9) fat (just to get chicks to stop asking)
10) the majority of cars (national subway system anybody?)
11) a variety of stupid phrases (needless to say...)
12) nervousness (I can't just get things over with, so it would help)
13) GMA 950
More will come...
 
I would ban all types of laundry detergents that contained fragrance. After that, I would ban all types of fabric softeners that contained fragrance. And for the people that violate the city ordinance by using the substance and inserting their clothes into the dryer for the broadcast of nauseating fumes will be subsequently nailed to the cross until they bleed to death. :mad:

Why don't you just ban odors altogether?

I don't dislike all odors, just some. There are 3 different women's perfume that make me gag and they are: Poison, White Diamond, and Red.

I always thought it would be nice if colognes could be made to smell like fruit; like the smell of Tropicana coconut oil for instance.

I like the smell of grape soda and orange soda. I used to have a hair gel that smelled like grape soda, but I can't find it anymore.

Jhirmack used to make a shampoo that smelled just like orange sherbet ice cream.

And as far as clothes go, there's nothing better than the smell of brand new clothes. :)

I fully understand where you are coming from. I can't abide chemical smells. Not on clothes, and certainly not on people.
