Advantages: These laws could be easy to put in place- I have suggested ways of doing do

Disadvantages: It will never take off when the personal rights of a criminals always over ride the general public

saw this and I just couldn't stop myself! Laws that need to be added!! I really cant just give one, I tried to narrow this down but its just not happening, so I will add them all.

1. People who think its OK to play music through the speakers on mobile phones. Now this needs to change, not only is the music always really **** but its also really tin-ny, there is no base, no real beat and its just pathetic- who listens to that and actually enjoys it? It sounds bad already- its made worse by the speakers on the phone!
Something needs to happen about this, I could say fine them, but they are normally kids who will just get mummy and daddy to foot the bill, and mummy and daddy either wont care and will pay up cos they are loaded enough to swing a Nokia n95 phone for the brat, or they will just take it out of the rent bill and mean everyone else paying taxes pays that little bit more to cover the legal fees. Nope, this needs to be dealt with appropriately.
Also, the companies producing speakers to add to the phones that are portable- not OK, they are also tin-ny and rubbish and also all to easily used on buses. Its easy to deal with them, just fine them and tax them more for the speakers, they will soon stop what they are doing.
Kids however, need to be approached differently, jail wont work, fines wont work. What they need is to be sat on an open cart or truck which trails behind the bus, feeling every bump and swaying from side to side to create nausea, they may be bombarded by petrol fumes and rained on. In this event, they are not allowed to sue for consuming these fumes, they knew the rules before they lurched themselves onto the back seats of the bus. And if that doesn't stop them, they need to be taken to weekly operas until they learn~: not everyone has the same taste in music, in fact, speakers on a 4 inch phone are not the best way to play music. If you can call it that.

2.closely linked is making **** music. There needs to be a law, and very fast too. Its too easy for music managers to bang out pop rubbish and rap with irritating rifts, this needs to be stopped, don't just punish the writers, punish the people who manage and fund it, punish the music mongrels. You know what type of music I am on about- the cheeky girls ring a bell anyone? Or the creepy singing frog? Or the new found interest in taking a 1980s hit and speeding it up to Smurf like tones and replaying it on repeat.
These funders need to be shut in a room for a full week, and repeatedly played over and over again the music they produce, things may change, we may actually end up with some quality that way. If not then I would expect the rate of music of thins type to die a slow death, there has to by default, be better stuff out there.

3. Next comes people who maltreat animals, not just the idiot who hits the cat or dumps puppies in a bag in a bin, but the bigger idiots who train them for dog fighting, dog baiting (i.e. using cats to lure in dogs for fights) and people who think its acceptable to breed dogs the size and intelligence of walnuts to sit in a bag and yap all day long. Even these dogs are at the end of the day, dogs, they do need to be protected, and seeing adult women shove their faces at a dogs nose when the animal has clearly had enough is not OK. These people who maltreat animals will of course be of different cultures: someone who decides a dog looks better only when its rat sized and a person who breeds a dog to eat other dogs are not likely to meet one another. So here's the plan; they need to go to therapy groups together, or at best, one-on-one talking, they need to own each others pets for a month, starting with weekend visits, so they can get to know that dogs need to be respected, protected, loved and let to breath, they may learn something from this, if the animal is too unwell to take part, I am sure suitable alternatives can be found as this type of behaviour is rife. Its sick and twisted and animal cruelty at the moment is too exclusive, far more of it goes on then is acknowledged by the authorities. It needs to encompass far more then it already does.

4.Rising taxes on things we enjoy. What is wrong with this government- in fact with all government's- they all seem to do the same thing- increase the tax on things we can afford, take it off things they like. Its not fair- where are we supposed to find the money? Their pockets perhaps. There needs to be a law to protect past time and enjoyment, making museums free for all does not count, not only is it only for certain long standing galleries which you would have already seen countless times, but its also not what most people want to do to unwind after footing the bill for the tax man/government/arms trade (whoops, did I say too much?!). Joking aside, I do not smoke, I do not drink- and I cannot drive, but now instead of thinking about any of these as a way of meeting people, -the drinking at least, there's no chance. I cannot afford the odd drink now as tax has spread to everything that poor people like. That's not fair.

5.Public transport. In general this needs to change, at present it is no more then a cattle truck with out as much air ventilation. We need new laws, this should not be able to happen, a better idea would be to swap the cattle for the people. Put the people on the big lorries (cleaned out of course) and the cattle on the trains. This way the train companies would actually get sued for over-riding animal rights- by squeezing too many of them into too small a space, not allowing ventilation and delaying the time stated for travel. In the mean time, people travelling in the lorries will have the ride of their lives- who hasn't been thrilled as a kid with dangling your head out a window whilst your dad or mum drives down the motorway at 70m.p.h? Well here's the next step- how would you fancy I fairground ride to work- everyday! The wind in your hair, the cool breeze in the heat- who cares if the bloke besides you has no deodorant, aside from being over 2 feet away, the wind just erases the stench- you will arrive to work feeling cool, exhilarated and ready to work, not tired, nauseous and angry. And the railway service? Well if we start this off in the summer, by the time winter has arrived, there will be so many changes to protect the animals that it will be comfort for people to go back onto the trains/buses/tubes as they will no longer suffer over crowding and the change over will happen just in time for the rainy snowy winter months.

6.Bottled water should be free. No argument.

7. Sanitary wear/ products for women's menstruation should also be free, this includes tampons, towels, liners, neurofen/feminax/whatever your poison and there should be free chocolate/caffeine on that week.

8. Free time and free use of every gym. I don't understand how the same government that tells us all to get of out of our chairs then expects us to then take our weekly wages- that will barely cover food and public transport, to then use that money to avoid our friend and families and spend hours in a gym burning off calories we ha not been able to previously burn off as we were stuck in offices- one day out of the 5 week days needs to be allowed off to exercise, 2 a week would be great but I guess you need to be realistic- although the general consensus is to workout at cardio levels for 3 different days per week. Erm, at the current law, exactly how?! If you become better at what you do, you earn yourself a place at a more luxury gym, so its in your benefit to workout harder and aim for better levels of fitness.

9.Bike theft needs to be dealt with! Every bike should be sold with a GRPS chip in it somewhere- it should vary per bike and always be on the inside of the inner tubes of the bike- the more expensive the bike, the more chips the bike gets. You should then be able to monitor your bike by internet. If it separates of gets stolen, either CCTV or wherever the chip has gotten to will be followed by the police- this should be a law, there needs to be a harder law set for bike theft, and running on a treadmill in the heat of summer for the entire summer (so the thief gets no break) for what cause? Well to create energy which can be given to bike makers so they can build better and better bike security plans of course!

10.OK, I think I should stop after this one, I could be here all night and you may be here all day reading through my waffling! This final one is important. E bay fees. This is an atrocity- you pay to list your items fine, but then you pay a percentage of your winning again to e bay after its been won? Now hang on here, I can understand this to a degree- but e bay take too much- especially if its a cheaper item. This is doubly unfair when you find that e bay also don't do decent customer service, not reading the question you give them, not sorting out a problem and being so difficult to contact that you give up and loose cash. E bay need to be made to pay all these earning back, and not be allowed to take a penny besides listing fees (e.g. no winning fees) until they have gotten their act together, at the moment, they have not changed for years, this is because they have not had a penalty to pay, but just take a look at the brand Chanel (or was it Gucci?) suing them for not doing enough to stop fakes being sold- e bay sat up and listened then didn't they?! Maybe if they were banned from taking payment until they got a clearer working system, things would improve.

Summary? A lot needs to change, there are more laws to add to these but I don't want to bombard everyone- the power needs to return to the people- not the multinational organisations! Power to the PPL!

Summary: sorry this is a bit on the long side- it jsut shows how badly things need th change!
