Default What Law would you change and why?

If you could change just one Law, what would it be and why :?:

It could be a country Law as in "You must pax taxes"

It could be a religous Law as in "Neither shall you covet your neighbourÂ’s wife. Neither shall you desire your neighbourÂ’s house, or field, or male or female slave, or ox, or donkey, or anything that belongs to your neighbour". (Like his brand new Ferrari?)

It could be a Law of Physics such as "Every object in a state of uniform motion tends to remain in that state of motion unless an external force is applied to it."

It could be a Law of Cartoon Animation such as "A character that runs off the end of a cliff will not fall until they stop running and look down"

You get the idea ;-) So which of the many Laws would you change :?:

Answers can be as serious or as daft as you like :idea:

The problem with taking away the bigamy law is not having multiple wives... but multiple MOTHERS-IN-LAW

Too scarey to even consider :shock:

This is the Law that I'd change

I'd change the law so that the labling on products for stupid people was removed. You know the ones I mean, an example can be found on Hair Dryers "Do not use in the shower or submerge in water".

Its found on the side of bottles of bleach "Do not drink".

I say remove the labling and let evolution remove the daft ones frm the gene pool :!:

Here's one...

Ban the law that prevents you from printing your own money! I know it would devalue the currency and all that, and the national lottery would probably go bust, but hey, I would have a job and that lovely bungalow I've always dreamed of having!!!

Ban all laws that allow humans to mistreat animals for their pleasure i.e horse racing, hunting and using bile from innocent bears as a human aphrodisaic. Just to name a few. Sorry, I know it's a bit serious but that is the law I would change if I could.... [-o<

Good idea ;-)

However it would be difficult to draw the line as to what is cruel and what isnt. Is keeping cows for milking cruel, or keeping freerange chickens for eggs cruel :?: I dont think that is, but, others may do :idea:

I'd change the law on gambling in the UK so that 5% of the profits go towards helping the aged pay their gas and electric bills.

I must be feeling uncharactistcly charitable today!
