You'd probably do a better job than the ones who are politicians. I mean it's hard to screw things up any more than they have done.AngloDoom said:Since I'm no politician I wouldn't be able to run a country very well.

I thought it was every Tuesday.D.C. said:I'm British and my first law would to re-instate an old one but modernise it. This law would be;
That everyone over the age of 18 must spend an hour every sunday on a shooting range, To practice their marksman ship so that people can defend themselves incase of [alien] invasion.
The old law was as i believe; all men and boys in Britain must spend an hour every sunday practicing their archery on an archery range.
OLd Laws in Britain were written in old french so its possible that theres confusion in translation. I'm about 80% sure it was on a sunday usually after church.Spineyguy said:I thought it was every Tuesday.D.C. said:I'm British and my first law would to re-instate an old one but modernise it.

this... but in America.Monkfish Acc. said:Well, I'd leave it all as is.
Then I would, y'know, actually follow it all.
Also, I'd probably do a massive purge of corruption and idiocy.
Sure, half the country would be out of jobs, but fuck them.
They are idiots and/or selfish twats.
But professional sports athletes bring their franchise that much more money. If you go out and get the david beckham of your sport you draw in more fans, you get more talent, and you can sell stuff using his name(jerseys, balls, etc).Machines Are Us said:... What would be the first law that you would create or change?
I think I would pass a law that creates a maximum salary for people who play professional sports. In the UK top of the class professional football (soccer) players can make up to around £75,000/$120,000 a week (David Beckham at one point made £150,000/$240,000 a week).
Although I believe in Capitalism to a certain extent; The idea that someone who effectively gets paid for kicking a ball around gets that kind of money, when those who work to keep the population alive (Doctors and Nurses) are put into debt due to Medical school, and then stuck on a low pay-grade for years is sickening.
EDIT: Please name your Country to avoid confusion about laws.
So what about you fellow Escapists?
