What Laws would you like to see?

Following my recent bus journey, id like to see the stocks returned for annoyingly little gits who sit on the bus playing crap rap music on their bottom of the range nokia phones as high as the little speaker phone will go. And people who have their mp3 players on too loudly in any public space

I would like to see animal laws tightened and the rspca given more powers such as in th USA as we are supposed to be a nation of animal lovers!

Id like to see laws that make politicians responsible for thier mistakes.

Id like to see an "anti-teflon" law, so once an MP has been caught out say for I dunno, starting an illegal law then they are held to account and tried for war crimes if applicable (thinking extraordinary rendition here).

I completely agree with 5lab's idea, and i see no reason why something of that ilk couldn't be put into practise. The essence of it should be that it pays enough to keep people going but it pays little enough for them to actively look for a job while perhaps working on council based projects for a few days a week.

Removing the ability for people to live on the dole and housing support, child support and whatever else they get would go a long way to removing the chav attitude because unless they are contributing they aren't getting any money.

Sorry but i can't see national service having any value. You are paying a lot of money for people to be trained who are never going ot use it. Or do you think that they should all be sent to places like iraq and afghanistan in which case we are onto conscription.

I don't believe the police should be allowed to carry guns, tasers are more than enough and armed police are available should the need for lethal force be required. I'll admit that guns are unfortunately making there way to the criminals but arming all of the police would only mean more armed criminals.

It's only my opinion but i think half of the problem with jail and sentances is that the people who are most likely to go to jail aren't afraid of it and people should be afraid of goign to jail. We have gone much to soft on those that break the law. We need much harsher punishment for crimes.

Corporal punishment in schools i'm not sure whether i'm for it or against it. We deffinately need to have a lot more discipline from parents about how children behave and i'm at a loss to see how it can effectively be done without a punishment that children will understand. Giving children a stern talking to doesn't work. But neither does just lashing out. Again it's a case of the punishment must fit the crime type situation and i feel in some cases smacking is necessary.

I'd like to see more effective laws regarding violent computer games available to children. I know they have an age certificate and all but some of the games out there are truely mindless and not what I'd consider a real game and therefore should'nt have even been given the go ahead.
