    I would write a law that would make the Monday after Super Bowl a federal Holiday. We all hate to go to work all hung over so lets eliminate it for a day where we all know it will happen.

    For a serious law I would make a law that disallow idiots from suing a company. Example, (29 January 2003, Brazil) At work, Manoel Messias Batista Coelho was responsible for cleaning out the storage tanks of gasoline tanker trucks. He had been employed in that capacity for two months when he ran afoul of fuel.
    The 35-year-old began to fill a tanker with water, a standard safety procedure that forces flammable vapor out of the container. He returned an hour later to check whether the water level was high enough to proceed. But he had trouble deciding, because it was so DARK inside the tanker.

    A resourceful employee, Manoel forgot the very reason why he was filling the tank with water when he lit a cigarette lighter to shed some light on the situation. His little test successfully determined that the water level was NOT yet high enough for safety. The vapor explosion launched him through the air, and he landed in the company parking lot 100 meters away.

    Manoel suffered severe burns, blunt force trauma, and an injury to the head that exposed his brain. Our witless car washer had learned his terminal lesson in safety by the time the firemen arrived.

                  Ya, I will agree with you that teenagers are complete idiots and don't deserve opinions, but in my experience I have seen way more adults cause problems at my field than kids.

                    I would create a bill banning the sale of meat and impose stricter animal cruelty laws. LONG LIVE VEGETARIANS!!!!

                    i would also pass a bill that would make paintball a school sponsored sport (like football, baseball, soccer, etc.), setting up tourneys, and giving funding for paint/equipment.

                      banning the sale of meat will not help out animals. hate to break it to you, but cows would be extinct if we didnt keep them around cause we eat them. when was the last time any of you saw a wild cow running around? chickens probably wouldnt do so hot either if we didnt eat them.

                          first of all realize that i am joking. i am a vegetarian and dont approve of the raising of animals to be killed (im fine with hunting) but at the same time i also dont want to force everyone to do what i want.

                          secondly, from your post all you are showing me is that you are very uninformed, and havent thought about this subject except for just now, between when i posted that and when you posted your response. so let me explain to you what i have seen after a lot of thinking, and some research.

                          If humans never ate meat, non-pet animals wouldnt have been domesticated and changed to be better "food" animals, and thus they would be suited for living in the wild, as an undomesticated animal. either that or they would go extinct naturally, which is unlikely but possible. also, do you really think chickens are doing so "hot" with the life they receive, being raised by companies wanting the maximum profits with the least expenses? please read this link if you think so, especially the "life of a chicken" at the bottom. those are the conditions of a chicken raised for food. being born as a free bird, unaltered by domestication, would be much better, or even not being born at all would be better. think what you are eating next time you go to mcdonalds or kfc.

                            Okay, I realise you're kidding but what you just said has no connection with reality.

                            The FACT is that humans DO and DID eat meat. Stopping meat consumption now would just result in the slaughter of millions of animals and the probable extinction of all non-pet and non-show domesticated animals.

                            Eating other things IS natural and when was the last time you saw anything in the natural food chain providing its prey with a humane killing. The food animals are probably better treated than many wild prey that have to fend for themselves while living in constant fear of predators until they are grusomely hunted down and killed or die a horrible death due to infection, desease, or starvation.

                            What bill would I like to see enacted? Can't vote on whether to send troops to war unless you or a direct decendant will be serving in battle.

                              Alright, here's what I'd like to see:

                              Legalize marijuana and tax the Hell out of it, give it similar restrictions as smoking and drinking
                              Legalize Prostitution
                              Privatize social security over time
                              Legalize gay marriage
                              Get rid of the Patriot Act

                                i didnt realize you are joking because there are many people out there that feel that way. i am very informed on the issue, and have even wrote a couple of papers on it. i have a handfull of friends that are vegetarians, and a couple that are veagan. i have talked with them at great length about the issue and was able to convince them the the health side of the issue was valid, but the whole save the animals, animals have feelings, animals have souls, so on and so forth i was able to change their minds. i also went to a very liberal catholic high school and the topic was debated in the classroom and around the lunch table. dont tell me i am not informed. i didnt feel like starting a huge flame by picking out your vegetarianism and copy and pasting one of my papers. instead i paraphrased one arguement that i thought might get a few laughs with people trying to imagine a wild cow back in the woods or something. sorry if i offended you, that was not my intent.
