When I become King/Queen...
We have no doubt had similar threads before but I wanted to offer a new chance for the forum to provide their inputs and wisdom. I'll start:
1. All prescription medication advertisements on TV will immediately cease to exist:
a. If you need to tell your doctor what prescriptions to provide, you don't need a new prescription, you need a new doctor.
b. If the ad needs to advise you to not take the prescription if you're allergic to it, you need to also be advised never, ever to procreate because the gene pool is already stupid enough.
2. All (and I do mean all) references to what the English Royals are wearing for fashion will be stopped. That topic is vapid enough without constant "breathless, breaking news" about what some color or style or designer a princess is wearing. (COROLLARY: No one with more than 2 gray brain cells cares about whether or not the two princesses get along or not. All related coverage of this nonsense will stop.)
3. All tailgaters and lane jockeys will be sent to prison for 25 years with no parole.
4. Anyone who actually cares and follows the news concerning if celebrity couples are still together or are having their 4th child, or are moving to a new home, or are (enter anything the rest of us routinely do) will be banished from the kingdom.
5. Civics (not indoctrination) must be taught (and passed) before high school graduation - no exceptions. (If you simply cannot pass it, you cannot vote).
6. Idiots who overreact and/or make a crisis about little Johnny commenting about a square root sign, or a pastry, or any other item looking like a firearm will be banished from the kingdom. Also, saying "bang" or pointing a finger at someone will not result in community panic or calling of police or suspension from school and any who foster this panic will be sent to a country where firearms are banned to experience that quality of life.

There are hundreds, if not thousands more. Let's have some fun with this.

It was that way when I was in high school.

My corollary to your #1 would be that the whiney guy on the hearing aid commercial ("$3000, $5000, whatever they can GET!") would be drawn, quartered, and strung up for the entire kingdom to see until his rotting corpse is picked clean by magpies. His bones would then be burned to ash and scattered in the landfill.

If you become Queen I'll think differently about you for sure. Big Grin

As an addendum to #5, I'd add that all legislators much pass an extensive test on the Constitution and Bill of Rights before they run for office.

Good one. I'm getting tired of hitting the mute button every time that damn commercial comes on.

"Some things are apparent. Where government moves in, community retreats, civil society disintegrates and our ability to control our own destiny atrophies. The result is: families under siege; war in the streets; unapologetic expropriation of property; the precipitous decline of the rule of law; the rapid rise of corruption; the loss of civility and the triumph of deceit. The result is a debased, debauched culture which finds moral depravity entertaining and virtue contemptible."

If I am King, the word 'rare' may never again be used to describe gun stuff for sale.

If I become emporer, it would be wise to invest in trebuchet manufacturers.

All immigration centers will have trebuchets installed and all deportations will be via trebuchet. If you’re not from a country bordering the US, you will be launched into international waters in the general direction of your country of origin. Illegal immigration should grind to a halt.

Any celebrity that mouths off they’re moving to Canada will be launched via trebuchet towards Cuba. They’re communist assholes and don’t get a choice in their destination.

Any athlete who takes a knee during the national anthem will be transported to Alaska’s new immigration detention center in Nome where they will be launched via trebuchet towards Russia. Not much work gets done during summer fishing so expect postponing most launches until winter.

"Reaching out" is a term associated with being placed on the rack, and is to be avoided by the people at all costs.

Driving slow in front of the King's royal Silverado is a crime punishable (immediately, by my royal decree) by short range rockets. Then the cleanup bill is sent to your family (very Maoish, don'tcha think?).

Nagging from SWMBO is allowed only to the royal boiling point, after which the king is allowed to press the mute button (implanted by the royal surgical team....).

When I become king all local,state, federal law enforcement who enter & graduate their respective academys will draw a salary in the low 6 figures with pay increase commensurate to time served & performance. Entry requirements into the academy will be tough.
This will also apply to firefighters, prison guards,and all branches of the military. Basically all first responders. Law enforcedment officers MUST be well versed in the constitution especially the 2nd amendment.
All the above will pay no taxes on pension after a set time served in service upon retirement.
All the above will earn substantial benefits & pension after a set time served as well

What Fdan said concerning #5.

All social company's such as Youtube, Facebook, twitter, etc will allow all lawful discourse under penalty of heavy & extreme financial fine.

Elected officials will have to live by the same rules as the rest of us peons.

Oh, and I like Bendable's "French" benefits idea.
