children weren't so free. Yes, back in my day we had to work 5-eight hours a day and we only had Pong. What we must do is gather up all of the children and make them manufactor plastic products. We will then flood the market with plastic, thus causing depreciation and massive depression. Then the kids will be to poor to have freedom. :)

....but if you're one of those people who loves freedom, I'm sure you have other ideas... (such as?):rolleyes:

*doesn't even bother to put up the 'not this shit again' picture*

...Next proposal please...

Childhood is already getting shorter and shorter, why accelerate that further?

Ah, but those were the good old days. You can't have that nowadays, what with all those child labour legislations and all.

No, what those good kids need is a good old military school upbringing. That'll teach 'em discipline!Oh, and make them into bloodthirsty killers, but at least they'll be DISCIPLINED bloodthirsty killers.

I want to, but I can't find it.


Note: Solutions must be new, not the same old help the poor slaughter the whales.

why not just strap a electric shock collar round kids' necks and fire 10,000 volts into their spinal columns whenever they misbehave? :rolleyes: ;)


edit: hey wow that can work for adults, too...

Easy! We simply use growth accellerators to instantly convert new-borns into productive workers/serfs. Then abolish the whole notion of a "childhood". You know, I don't think I can see any downside to this plan at all.

You know what would really put a dent in the crime rate?

Legalize everything.

That's too simplistic and it doesn't involve a life of hard labor.

Is it wrong to think life would get a hell of a lot more intersting if this happened?

You think it's easy to protect yourself from being robbed, roughed up, murdered or raped by anyone who happens to be having a bad day? It involves hard labor to keep yourself safe and to do unto others before they do unto you.

Oh, and simple solutions are the best ones. They may not work, but they require no effort.

killing everybody?

killing everybody?
Wow, now I know what's wrong with the world. All the smart people are on NS General and the idiots are left to run the governments. Here we have at least three solutions to the crime problem generated in a matter of minutes, and politicians can't come up with one effective one since the dawn of civilization.

we're just too smart to share is all :)

killing everybody?

Pure, that was my first thought---but then, I am part of everybody, so I am vetoing that idea.

And where would I get more victims? :mp5:

because we all know crime is caused by children.... :rolleyes:

Every criminal on earth was once a child.

Also we know from the simpsons that inside every hardened criminal beats the heart of a ten year old boy, and vice versa.

What about the female hardened criminals?

Damnit, now you've got me thinking about sexploitation films like caged heat (http://imdb.com/title/tt0071266/).

Also, perhaps make jail life worse than it already is, perhaps pay some really big guys to rape the inmates once a day, eventually nobody will want to commit crimes 'cuase the mere thought of going to prison would be enough to induce fear in even the most fearless of potential criminals.

Every criminal on earth was once a child.

Here's some crime reducing ideas:

1 - one must have a license to raise children, and pass a test to get a license
2 - re-offending carries increasingly harsh punishments

Also, perhaps make jail life worse than it already is, perhaps pay some really big guys to rape the inmates once a day, eventually nobody will want to commit crimes 'cuase the mere thought of going to prison would be enough to induce fear in even the most fearless of potential criminals.

Forget that. What they really need is zero contact with other prisoners - stops jail being a crime school. And no luxuries like TV.

What if you're a masochist?

Hmm... 20 years of solitary confinement?

Not a bad plan.

What if you're a masochist?
Perhaps spread the rumour that the guy raping people has aids. Just 'cause you're a masochist doesn't mean you're suicidal.

Either that or get the paid rapist to constantly tease the masochists and refuse to rape them. Or let anyone else rape them... So they go crazy as nobody's hurting them and they can't get anyone to hurt them... so they tell their masochist buddies that they're better off on the outside.

Hmm... 20 years of solitary confinement?

Not a bad plan.

Damn that eight ammendment! Damn it to hell!

killing everybody?
No, killing everybody but me would be so much better. After all, the only crimes I have ever commited were crimes against Humanity, so if it weren't for humanity always roaming around, just begging for me to rape its future and plunder its wealth, I would be a model citizen.
Then I could make a clone of me, to be able to enter the world the moment I die, so he could also be a model citizen. It would be brilliant!
The rate of criminals to people would be 0:1, perfect harmony among the living thing!

Hmm... 20 years of solitary confinement?

Yep. That would be very effective I think.

This is the obvious next step from child leashes. If the child wanders out of range of their parents transmiter, pow hit them with enough volts to knock them out. When the people waching start screaming about the twitching little kid on the floor the parents will know where to look:)

I know what to do. Child labor laws need to be axed. Then, we get a double whammy of cheap, home-grown labor and a means of disciplining our children in the oldest method of all: make them do annoying-ass or dangerous tasks repetitively for 12-14 hours on end at sub-minimum wage!

There wouldn't be so much crime if...

...every man, woman, and child owned a gun.

Ah, but does the firearm have any rights, I ask you? :p

Think of the pistols! Won't somebody think of the pistols?

Brilliant! It's simple, effective, and totally insane! A winner on all counts!

Crime would also go down a lot if everyone obeyed the law. But where's the fun in that?

:p

Well much of the shit that IS illegal doesn't need to be(read - drugs, prostitution, gambling, obscenity, etc.) so if we were to simply trim our legal codes to drop the shit that doesn't need laws... we'd drop the crime rate. I guarentee it.

We could just make everything punishable by death.

my real idea is

public flogging.

Take the offender back to his neighborhood, pull his pants down, and spank his ass in front of everyone.

Humiliation of criminals.

Oh, and I'm sure that would be considered cruel and unusual, but I bet you would get fewer repeat offenses...

I bet it would get rid of gangs, cause they wouldn't want their baggy pants pulled down in front of their homies!
