If you became ruler of your own country, what would be the first law you would introduce?

[VanillaSalt]

oh I’m overhauling sex and marriage big time… I got this.


First up is divorce. Marriage is permanent therefore divorce is unavailable in some circumstances such as until all children are of the age of 18, and with a 1 year mandatory “cool off” period in which couples go to counseling and introducing both partners to job placement, housing, and personal counseling as needed. Exclusion for abuse or neglect.


Second equalizing marriage… alimony remains but only under a temporary 1 year time limit as long as the payee provides proof their looking for a job or going to school and only up until they remarry.


And finally… sex is legalized only in legal state ran brothels and marriage. Anyone caught doing the dirty outside marriage is forced to marry and subject to the same terms as a general marriage including if a child comes from the coupling they must wait out the full 18 years for the child to grow.


Ide secede abortion as a full right under these circumstances. If one of the partners disagree with the abortion it couldn’t happen but meant being subject to the 18 year child exception in divorce but if both agreed then the couple could separated after the 1 year of counseling.

Eliminate the appeals process for the death penalty. Make the requirements for conviction more stringent but once convicted executions take place within 30 days and the victim's family gets to pull the lever if they want. And make the executions public. Pedophilia gets death sentence but castration first. Any overdose from drugs-that drug dealer also gets death penalty.
Make prisons a living hell so criminals are ACTUALLY AFRAID of prison. Not treating prison like a resort or an educational institution.
Azkaban is worse than our prisons.
No one can have kids or vote unless they've served the community in some way: military, community service in hospitals for 2 years, law enforcement, paramedics, firefighting.
Put a limit on welfare, you have to seek a job while on welfare but you will do community service while waiting for a job.
If you have one child out of wedlock you get chemical castration until you're married.
Chemo and insulin are free, just like all these covid vaccines.

[AmandaYVR]

Neat picture!

I would love to be able to chop off portions of peoples' fingers when they steal something. Thieves think stealing is no big deal. I do not agree. I think they should burn in hell. Or lose fingers. They'd stop mighty quick.

[jennifer_bloom]

I would demand that people study spirituality and talk to at least one person from a different race or religion as them each week and I would force everybody to volunteer at least an hour a month.

[ADFSDF1996]

In order of importance

• Ban extradition
• Ban death penalty/reform prisons to be like Norway’s prisons
• Strengthen citizen’s right to self defense
• Ban psych wards in favor of more humane forms of treatment
• Advance science and technology by discrediting all skeptics/naysayers who have been holding back the advancement of technology
• Prohibit teachers and professors from using their job positions as platforms to promote their political ideologies
• Expand police force size to have patrols within neighborhoods
• Bring back military parades

[exitseven]

i agree with most of these. I do not know much about prison in Norway so I respectfully decline that one.

[FinalFantasyBro]

If I were suddenly declared ruler of my own country, I would simply place these specific rules in my nation.

1. No Bigotry of any sort, failure to do so will be an immediate jail time.

2. Cheap healthcare for anyone who clearly needs it.

3. Jobs are mandatory to make currency enough of this free hand out shit. I truly don't think people should be rewarded for being lazy.

4. In general schools are either, private or specific studying. I honestly think public schools are a joke and no kids or teens should suffer through with them again.

5. Colleges are affordable, and if you can't afford them I truly believe in something like Financial Aid.

6. I honestly want to keep in the death penalty for truly awful people who doesn't deserve to live.

7. No schools or companies should authorize uniforms it basically the lack of creative.

8. 17 to legally drink or smoke

9. 18 to legally have sex

10. 21 for all adult privilege

11. Marriage for anyone over 18 both hetrosexual and homosexual. ( Remember zero discrimination is allowed!)

12. Practice of religion is allowed but only in privacy, no need to force religion down on another person.

Well I'd write up a large bill that includes the following:

Offering tax cuts to married families with kids and annual check for having kids and a lump sum at the end of every decade of marriage. As the birthrates in the west decline and these annoying global warming doomers push this nonsense as if we're the problem I'd like to piss them all off. Also in the bill would be free contraceptives offered by the state. Abortion would only be allowed in cases where the mother and or child's life are already at risk or if the woman was raped. Pregnancy from casual flings and hook ups would be made strictly illegal. Doctors working under the table caught performing illegal abortions would be sentence to life in prison and tried for murder and the women who opted for abortions in those scenarios would be given a hefty fine and barred from access to all social welfare programs. The men who got these women pregnant would also be given the same penalty if it turned out they were aware of the procedure and didn't try to make right by her and the unborn child and step up. Infidelity would be a criminal offense and face hefty fines, public humiliation, a 90 day solitary prison sentence and several hundred hours of community service. Also free mental health screenings and mental health services and fixed prices on certain services like vision and dental.

• Religion is outright banned
• National healthcare
• National insurance
• Prisons would be state run, not privatized
• Judges, etc would not be elected, but promoted via merit
• Lobbying would be illegal
• State & Federal election campaigns would be capped at 3 months, no longer
• Government nepotism would be illegal
• Gerrymandering would be illegal
• Prison sentences would be standardized, and would focus more on rehabilitation than punishment
• Taxes would be fixed by income

[Opinion Owner]

And mandatory term limits for elected officials

[Neosporin]

You can’t ban religion for that’s like totalitarianism

[darkcloud1945]

I missed that one that would be the second on my list. CUDOS

[Desire-for-Greatness]

I would ban carcinogenic ingredients in food and in the environment.

Most people don't know but most of our foods are full of carcinogenic ingredients that can easily be replaced by safe substitutes.

Instead, companies keep feeding us things that are slowly killing us.

What does the government do? Nothing. It's like there's no ministry of health anywhere.

Companies just use what's cheap, they don't know or care about the risks.

[jshm2]

None, it's getting nuked, we're all going to hell in my handbasket. If you're crazy enough to make me your ruler, you win the crazy prize. It's only fair and only hypothetical. I might wait a few weeks and make outlandish promises first and then nuke at "peak happiness".

[Allyson07]

the first law that i'll implement is the death penalty, but instead of just killing i'll prepare torture chambers, to torture those proven suspects until they beg to just be killed cause they can't endure the pain. honestly rn in my country, those suspects behind bars have better life than, imagine the pain of the victims family, while those suspects just selling drugs in jail.

[VanillaSalt]

Imagine being accused and convicted of a crime but being innocent… then suffer your torture. Sounds fun?

[Allyson07]

That's why I said proven suspects.

[VanillaSalt]

Can’t be proven if your a suspect…

[MCheetah]

Stupidity is banned. And this is STRICTLY ENFORCED, by the military and all. Joe Biden would not be stepping foot in our country. Let's just call it New Wakanda or something, to troll.

[Justquestions124124]

Remove all socialist elements and give big support to small and medium business (sorry for my English). So, for example, sell some state universities to businessmans who are interested in developing this economic branch. And they will give cheap or free efficient and market oriented education. In exchange, students will work in their companies after graduation.
Provide employment for older people, who will not receive pensions after they will be abandoned
P. S. thanks for Ukrainian Cirmea

[DeeDeeDeVour]

Revamp the immigration system to impose very strict immigration laws.

[exitseven]

People that drive foreign made cars have to park in a special lot as far away from the store as possible.

[darkcloud1945]

no mandates no leaders like Dictator Biden and Giggles Harris No leader older than 50 y/o no ruling from the bench. leaders must have an I/Q over 70 . No family members in business with our enemys or allowed to do drugs

[TrillXHippy]

Refusing to help people out will be prohibited. If you went to school to be a freaking doctor and you are now a doctor because that is why you went to school I will not tolerate any doctor not helping people out

[Agape93]

Enshrining reproductive rights as an inherent human right.

[qwert1234]

I will increase the age of consent from 12 to 18.
The fuck is wrong with our previous/current politicians.

[VanillaSalt]

Where the fuck your live?

[qwert1234]

@VanillaSalt Asia.

[VanillaSalt]

Well I don’t see the issue. She is just a number raise the kids better and they’ll make better choices.

[qwert1234]

@VanillaSalt See that applies if you are in a good country. We have lots of poor people here.
We had parents pimp out their kids.
We had a lawyer, a cop going to a motel with an under-aged kid. I don't think they will be watching cartoons.
We had kids pimping themselves for money.

Besides, how hard is it to change the law to increase the age of consent to 18? If one is a sane person, there really should not be an argument about changing this.

[VanillaSalt]

There’s a great argument against changing it. If your old enough to have kids you should be in charge of your own facilities.

[qwert1234]

@VanillaSalt What argument? It's increasing the age of consent. You can "consent" to have sex when you can't even get a booze, a cigarette or a driver's license? Come on man.

[DryGermanGuy]

The famous Amiga computer shall rise again!!!
(I. e. giving them a billion Euros federal loan)

[nawtee_me]

The first Law would be to abolish the dictatorship or one person ruler and go to a ruling body made up of a certain number of men and women ranging in age from 21 to 75.

[jahaims]

Anyone who breaks the law is publicly executed.
The form of execution would depend on the crime.

[SmokinAces2000]

That no hospitals can refuse treatments to people that can’t afford it

[ALewis30]

No more racism, discrimination, and hateful speech.
