aalpha1989 Posted April 17, 2010 Share Posted April 17, 2010 [quote name='homeschoolmom' date='15 April 2010 - 05:34 PM' timestamp='1271367284' post='2094246'] In my ideal world, we would have better public transporation here in the US so that teens would not "need" to be driving. I'd raise the driving age to 18 (you could learn earlier, but you couldn't drive alone until 18). I would make the drinking age lower, probably-- but it needs to be national, rather than on a state by state basis like it used to be. When MN and IL were 19 and WI was 18, there was a lot of drinking and driving across state lines. I would say, probably 19. (I was 18 most of my senior year of HS, so that would not be ideal, imho.) And I realize this is unconstitional... but this is [i]my[/i] ideal world, right? You would have to pass a basic civics test to vote... no age minimum.

Formosus Posted April 17, 2010 Share Posted April 17, 2010 You guys are missing out on the real villain. Sugar is the real evil of today's world. That sweet sugary goodness causes countless deaths due to diabetes and obesity. It is a deadly drug that should be banned immediately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jesus_lol Posted April 17, 2010 Share Posted April 17, 2010 I think we should ban Dihydrogen monoxide. it is fatal if inhaled, and people who drink it are dying a slow death that can take up to80-90 years to finish, slowly withering away. ban it immediately.

I also believe there is a group of climate change fanatics purposing it be outlawed as well; on the grounds that dihydrogen monoxide vapor causes global warming.
