	Many things that should be banned Tired of ads?

I think drugs are what are ruining the modern world and America. If there were no drugs, there would almost be no terrorism or murder. However, many things that aren't considered "drugs" have been proven to change brain chemistry and have a phychological reaction. Which of these should be banned?

#1. Certain fatty and spicy foods, especially chocolate.
#2. Some types of music, like techno or "rave", change the brain chemistry.
#3. Sex.
#4. Alcohol.
#5. Neon lights.
#6. Flowers.

These, and many other common items, have been proven to change peoples' mental attitude and feelings. Should they be banned, or their use restricted? I need to know because I'm going to be a dictator someday, and I have to control the people somehow.

chocolate is neither spicy nor fatty... isn't it?

Drugs are not ruining the modern world they are preparing us for the next genetic clensing... eliminate the weak minded!!!

If anything on your list needs to be banned it would be alcohol, but we already know that doesn't work... Free everything!!!

Drugs aren't the cause of murder - individuals decisions are the primary cause of murder. The War on Drugs would be a big secondary cause. A crackpipe doesn't murder anyone, though.

I think stupid people are what are ruining the modern world and America. If there were no stupid people, there would almost be no terrorism or murder. However, many people who aren't considered "stupid" have been proven to act stupidly and behave idiotically.. Which of these should be banned?

#1. Anybody with an IQ below 140.
#2. Anybody who can't empathize with their fellow being.
#3. Anybody who is socially inept.
#4. Anybody who chooses to remain steadfastly ignorant when presented with evidence to the contrary.
#5. Anybody who does not function perfectly in the MACHINE.
#6. Anybody who does not conform to the recent specifications regarding what constitutes a Standard Human Intelligence.

These, and many other common people, have been proven to change other, more intelligent peoples' mental attitude, behavior, and feelings. Should they be banned, or exterminated? I need to know because I'm going to be a dictator someday, and I have to create a utopia somehow.

You sound very far right.

If you were left it would be those you consider smart supporting you, and those you consider stupid opposed. Of course, I think it is very relative for them.

Of course rightists do this too a bit, just doesn't seem as much as those from the left.

Rightists dont think their position is smart and the other position is stupid as much as leftists do?

Not the position, Tass. The people.

I notice it very often that the left will slander and demonise an opponent out of all proportion to reality. Yes, rightists will do this too, but not as often that I have observed. Of course this is my observation, not the result of any study or what-not.

All the world's cigarette smokers should all be deported to a small island way out in the Pacific. We should ship with them one handgun (all conficasted from the city streets) per person but only half a pack of smokes each. This ought to slow down overpopulation, save many trees and make it an easier world to take a deep breath. Also it would create an interesting new nation of survivors with a unique story to tell.

Oh yeah, that reminds me : fake plants. They should definitely be banned. Owning fake plants signifies wanting to look good while actually being fake & dead inside. It also shows a fear of death and an incapacity to handle life.

....or it could show that the owner has multiple allergies to pollens. People with allergies however should either learn to put up with the symptoms or be forced to forgo the pleasure of the beuty of flowering plants.

Why not go to directly to the source of all that is evil in humans and ban all emotions? I mean, banning flowers is a step in that direction, but not enough by a mile. Pumping people full of the right chemical should make them mindless and emotion-free slaves, eh?
