Everyone agrees that leaks are partly to blame for water shortages this year, but the fact is, that if our climate means we get less rain, then eventually water levels going down will be a constant problem unless we do something now. One obvious solution is to repair the leaking pipes, and no one would argue against that unless there was something wrong with them. The fact is though, that there is far too much water been used. The reason behind this is the fact that we have too many houses in this country, each using its own share of the water. They’re also contributing to global warming, due to other uses of energy, and the government wants to build yet more houses. They need to start building less, not more. But what about all those people who want their own houses? Tough! We need to introduce new legislation, which states that no one can live alone. There must be at least 2 people to a house. One way to make this law work would be to also make it the law that you couldn’t leave your parents home until you found a partner. But what if you couldn’t find a partner and your parents wanted you to leave? Then the state would have to find a partner for you who the state thought was compatible. Obviously the person would be in a similar situation to you, so the state would be doing you both a favour. Then from simply reducing drought and global warming, this new law could be extended to reduce crime. How many teenage criminals are not from nuclear families? Well if the state also passed a law saying that when you leave home you is immediately married, then this would reduce the amount of single mothers, if it was backed up by a tightening of divorce laws so that people could only get divorced if a person in the marriage had committed a crime. Cheating would be a crime and any marital crime would carry a minimum sentence of 18 years. Obviously the person who was guilty would need a partner upon release, so they would be found one by the state, which would probably be someone like them. We should also introduce a 2-child policy so that people can only have 2 children. No one needs more than 2, and this way, the population will remain at a similar level, meaning we don’t need more houses. What about homosexuals? They’d also have to abide by this law. They’d have to marry, and they could have the children of people who turned out to be bad parents. This simple solution would reduce the likelihood of drought, global warming, youth-crime, and irresponsible parenting. One solution for 4 problems and it could probably be applied to even more as well, but I guarantee you’ll not find a more brilliant solution to these 4 problems anywhere else.
LOL
That's hillarious <grin>
How, exactly, does building more houses lead to greater waste of water? (leaking pipes aside) what about making it a crime to shower more than once a month?
Those who don't smell bad would be imediately thrown into prison and of course they'd have to share cells with at least 10 other people.
Call me mr strange but I think tackling private car ownership, energy waste of appliacnes on standby mode (gas used to power appliances on standby in the UK alone is enough to fly the entire population of Glasgow to the U.S. and bck .. every year), recycling of water and alternative resources might be a slightly less radical and more effective ways, but of course that's a bit boring isn't it.
lol quangle wangle, you should be locked up mate, your mad.
um...wayne, that's a bit...extreme isn't it, if you forcably partner off people to other people i think your psych wards are going to be over flowing with head cases, and think of the children who would be born of such cupples? they'd also be mad with cause, because the would feel like creations of a machine called society. This in turn would produce more crime, so, there's two sides to it. It's like some children of mail order brides feel, i go to school with one at the moment, and he's a very bitter child.
Dont worry Loui he has a nasty habit of advocating the execution of people in a coma ect, by shooting them through the head at point blank range, so there would always be room at the inn.
Ga! Alex, i hope you're not just saying that, because that's horrible. If you're going to euthenais someone you do it humainly. and with dignity.
No when the case of an american woman who was completely paralysed and brain dead was raised here, your man proudly suggested shooting her to relieve her suffering.He's a fascist imbecilic bigot.
alex, the use of the words "your man" are not good in this particular context, you know how some people can take things too far on this site. He's not my man, nor do i wish it so.
Feck! I wasn't inferring that there was a personal connection between you 2, Your man is an Irish saying referring to the main person in the conversation.
yes, i know that, but there's a lot of people who don't. and i'm not really wishing to be in any way associated in any sexual context or romantic context with wangel....no offence wayne, but no.
I dont blame you the very thought and why apologise, he's repulsive.
hmmm, i've talked to him, and i'm not sure he's repulsive, i just think his views are kind of out there to say the least.
I don't think there would be more crime. Arranged marriages would only be tollerated if the person refused to find a partner and the two people in that marriage would have to be compatible. There would be strict guidance on how to bring up children. head-cases wouldn't be allowed to bring up children and there'd be tests to make sure they weren't doing. Now as for Goblins point about the American woman and how she should die, the fact is, no matter how you kill someone, they're going to be dead at the end of it. There's no such thing as killing someone nicely. The quicker the death, the more humane it is. A bullet to the head can kill within a second I'm sure. It's less humane to have these people living in constant suffering.
hmmm, Wayne, you have to look at why the woman should die, it's not right for her to die because her husband wants to marry another woman, and, truely, there's people out there, and might i add, a lot of them, that don't want to marry, so,why should they? life is about making the best of ones self, basically, what your advocating will produce the kind of world we got in Aldus Huxley's Brave New World, a place in wich culture means nothing and sexual promiscuity is encouraged in children, tell me, is that a good thing?
