NJS 4355 Posted September 27, 2006 Share Posted September 27, 2006 1. Abolish and make illegal all private education and health cover (and obviously obliterate religion from all state schools at the same time) - people who try and get around it by sending kids abroad or using foreign health service to be refused re-entry and be stripped of citizenship. I believe these two services will never "work" while the rich and powerful opt out of them. 2. Renationalise without compensation all public utilities including rail etc. 3. Execute the first 1000 people in line to the throne and confiscate all "long term" inherited wealth - eg Duke of Westminster's property. 4. Inheritance tax to be 100% with no exemption bracket - so that everybody starts off in life with the same opportunities. 5. Introduce a universal contraceptive into the water supply/food chain and supply the antidote under licence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kid Dynamite 6964 Posted September 28, 2006 Share Posted September 28, 2006 Most of my legislation would be to deal with the yob culture we currently have. Kids on street corners, idiots starting fights on nights out for no apparent reason, twats on the metro etc. 1-Legal age of tabs up to 21 and double their price as well as ban smoking in public places. 2-Legal Drinking age 21, the whole kids on street corners, pissed up fights in pubs thing doesnt really happen in america . 3-Tougher prison sentences. 20years means 20years. Not parole in 4. 4-3 strikes and your out rule. so no more little charvers with 27 offences to their name 5-sort out the whole benefits/welfare system. Far too many people around my area are just too bone idle to work and get paid by the government for it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In my world relatives would never have to look after the sick - I know some would want to and thats fair enough but surely that desire would come from love and not "greed". My system would be an incentive for the "powers that be" to sort it out and it would be temporary in the way you mean - I know there are people who are well meaning but I believe that in a sense the NHS has become a "token effort" which the powerful see as something they don't use. If they did I think both the resources and the determination shift would make it work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Inherited wealth propogates class, power and everthing else thats unfair in this country. That Faith School thread reminded me of something I knew I'd meant to respond to. Why do you draw the conclusion that because parents want to spend their wealth on a better life for their children that that is the sole motivation for their existence? On the other hand to expect them not to want the best for the most important thing in their lives is a bit silly. While we're on the subject of how sad the focus on materialism is, I assume you also have a plan to administer parental love only in even doses, otherwise this whole system is dreadfully unfair. What, you're only equalising the material wealth and then allowing some kids to grow up fantastically wealthy in other and (surely in your eyes) more important ways? To answer your first question: because there's no other way to do it. Are you suggesting a world where every parent can only provide the same for their child, what about when they want a loan, what about when they want some help starting their new business? What about living in a nicer house than their poorer counterparts? If you don't stop the flow of advantage before the parents' death, it won't achieve anything; and none of these policies will work unless you do it on a global scale. And Bridget although you have completely miscontrued my point, you do raise an interesting one. Why do you think some people are poor and others not, specifically a family line?

You'll know as well as anyone on here, but having a more relaxed attitude to drinking at a younger age generally promotes less of a need to binge and go mental when adulthood comes around.

The total dickheads that went off the rails at university were generally the ones who had been kept on a tight rein by their parents prior to that. From about 15, my mam knew I was going out and drinking (NAILS, I know), and didn't go daft about it, which definitely made a difference. Even at school it tended to be the kids that were doing the sneaking around thing that used to get themselves absolutely mong-arised and have their stomachs pumped etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
