Women would be allowed to drive, petrol would be free for women driving pissed up husbands/boyfriends home - How are the menfolk to get to the pub?
So overall...not my cup of tea mostly.

If I was King..

I would stipulate that all restrooms/bathrooms in all abodes have waterproof floors with a drain. All showers be forcefull and there be no restriction on shower head GPM. All showers provide at 1.5 hours of continous hot water.

I'd just ban religion.............

Let's face it, if there IS a God, there's probably only one. So millions of people have been slaughtered for generations just because someone thought that their way of praying to God was better than someone else's.......

Good, Dyson air blades (or a man who hands you a fresh towel) in every bathroom and doors that open outwards only?

I do follow a moral code.

I don't believe in God.

Am I doomed?

50/50, better hedge yourself and go to a praying place.

If you get asked if you have converted just say "No...but my admission only shows how honest I am". Also I'm pretty sure god won't mind if you catagorise your sins during confession to save time .

All these gods must have massive egos if they insist on being worshipped all the time. And if that is the case surely they'd show themself at some point for even more ego stroking and adoration?



When I rule the world there will be harsh punishments for the following:

Chewing with your mouth open
Not holding your cutlery properly
Playing anything by Michael Jackson
Putting tomato ketchup on your Christmas dinner
Not queueing properly
Driving like a twat
Playing music on mobile phones in public
Preaching creationism & other such nonsense

And that's just for starters

Ha! On that basis that'd be every football manager!

He's on the list for sure, but for many reasons
