If you could ban something

what would it be......
I'd ban:
Spitting in the street....I hate it!
TV screens in shops/supermarkets etc that advertise mobile phone an other such rubbish... drives me crackers!
Speakers that boom boom up and down the street. If it's louder than your engine...It's too loud!
Elevator Music!
Telephone music whilst on hold!
Junk/spam email!
Drivers using mobile phones....yeah ok they arent meant to but I still see them!
I probably have loads more confused

I'd have a UK wide ban on under 16s out on the streets without parents accompanying them after 8pm. controvertial perhaps but it will most likely reduce a fair bit of teenage crime, drug abuse such as glue sniffing, teenage pregnancies, and lots more. imo kids need discipline and moitoring and with the availability of drugs and drug pushers they are easily influenced and loose their way. this can be fixed with good parenting (& no law) but lots of parents are irresponsible as well with the 8yr olds out on the streets terrorising others in the middle of the night while the parents are getting hammered in the pub.

I'd ban:
short people with umbrellas
(cos when it rains they put head down bloody armour spiked umbrellas stick everywhere).
dog shit
(ewwwwww specially in autumn with leaves just can't tell)
toilet paper where perforations don't match up
(so annoying)

Do you have teenagers of your own?
Im afraid your plan just wouldnt work. What they cant do at night, they will do during the day.
Your kind of 'discipline' would serve no pupose whatsoever,apart from maybe, alienate teenagers and parents even more and lead to more domestic violence when teenagers, as teenagers do, rebel.
I agree that there are some irresponsible parents around but you cant go around accusing them of getting 'hammered' in the pub.
Im afraid if this is your idea of good parenting,you are in for one hell of a shock.
I know, I had a Father with ideas like yours!

I'd ban cold calling via telephone, especially when you get silent calls for a week before they catch you.
Mushy peas, they should be irradicated.
People who have pets and don't look after them properly.
Hairdressers who ignore what you say you want done.
Speed bumps.
Oh and Biscuit, your perferations don't match 'cos your layers have come undone, try taking a single layer and unrolling it by itself, that used to drive my hubby potty too.
H.

I'd ban Satnav's :eeek: yes I know there wonderful bits of kit for the geographically challenged wink

.
But they sit there on the dashboard especially at night lit up like a damn christmas tree!!!
Drawing your eyes to it to check your going the right way even though some of them speak to you!!!
When your looking across towards the front nearside wheel in the night (thats towards the kerb) & the Satnav's bright as bright can be can you really say that it does'nt effect your vision just a little bit?
Ok so we have now established i'm not a fan of Satnav's i'll get of me soapbox redface

Kids under the age of 15 in Ikea - unless they are TOTALLY under control. Maybe just one day a week could be kid-free?? Just one - pleeeeeese.
Profiles whose sole claim to 'fame' is being well endowed, huge boobs or whatever and NO pics to prove it.
I'm all for the freedom to privacy but in some cases it really should be put up or shut up.

No, I do not have any teenage kids, however my parents raised us 4 boys living in various countries with the same house rules applied everywhere! Yes, we (the teenagers) were not happy at times, argued, screamed etc, but there was never resulting domestic voilence because ultimately we respected our parent's decisions - we never raised our hand or smashed things up, and neither did they! Also Parental imposed nightly cerfew seems to quite well in other cultures & countries with a lot lower teenage crime rates than UK, I can name a few if you like. You are probably right, it may not work in the UK for various reasons. As I said such a law is unnecessary if Parents bring up their kids with strong values and good discipline. So what is the solution for UK to reduce teenage crime, if neither the law nor parental discipline will work?
