So if you were king or Queen of the world...
 
What would your law of the land be?

Any chopping off of hands heads or any other bits?
Would you stop women driving?
Would you make women dress like ninjas?

Everyone would be free to do what they like, as long as it does n't cause harm to anyone else :)

I could (and have) rant for days on this one hehe.
But my top decrees would be:
  • No religious laws allowed to be enforced by the state unless they coincide with secular ones. No state religions allowed to be recognised and no tax payers money permitted to fund any religious programme or activity.
  • Full equality of oppurtunity regardless of gender, race or sexual orientation - but a point blank refusal to accept people themselves are all equal, only that they have equal rights.
  • Legalisation of most drugs, heavily taxed with extreme punishments for people who abuse others financially or physically due to taking them.
  • Full freedom of speech including the right to offend, making only threats or incitement to violence/treason punishable. Let the courts deal with slander and libel.
Other than that I’d let everyone run their own affairs as a sort of federal world wide system and only step in when I see something silly happening. To be honest I’d be too busy travelling the world giving my Royal blessing to comely young ladies to bother with politics hehe.

Tax the fat
Compulsory beetroot
Execution for wearing crocs
Drawn and quartered for wearing crocs with socks
Abayas to be replaced by a choice of uniforms to wear
Cheese would be banned
Talking whilst football is on the tv would be an offence (unless it was to point out what a throbber John Terry is)
Women would be allowed to drive, petrol would be free for women driving pissed up husbands/boyfriends home

Reminds me of the British Leyland joke from the seventies. The Shop Steward reports back to the Rank and File, and tells them that the deal with Management has resulted in a One Day Week! - Tuesdays only!

A cry comes from the back of the crowd "What? - Every Tuesday?"

As a rather tubby croc-wearer, I might have to have you taken out before you get to such a position of power! ;)
