In the US we have what are called "Sentencing Guidelines". I would like to see these abolished because it over rides the judges discretion and doesn't take mitigating factors into consideration.

A man stealing a loaf of bread to feed his family is not the same as a man stealing a loaf of bread and selling it at a tag sale.

You are so right. I lived in Egypt for awhile, and was glad to get back to a real super market for groceries. Not saying any thing bad about Egypt, I enjoyed my stay there, but ,as you say, one month and someone would appreciate the good ol USA.
My only gripe is taxes. After being taxed for every thing, there is not much left in a dollar bill. Unless you are born rich, It's darn hard for anyone to become even middle class.

I would change the laws of Divorce and Seperation, it is too easy for anyone to walk away these day and because of that relationships are not as sacred as they were 50 years ago.

Msmonk – “I personally would make it a law that at least every five years you'd be required to live in another country for at least 30 days to make people appreciate and see how good america really has it.”
I sure came home, did the face down on my big soft bed, and then made a B-line for good old American grocery stores LOL Never want to leave again.
Shipoker – “Christian ethics should not prevail in our law-making”
How about NO religions? Keep it fair, we do have to make all kinds of accommodations etc for every other religion, get rid of all of them or leave the Christians alone.
Gilly – “why make it more difficult for people that want to leave each other ?”
Guess some people just love to try to control others. My ex was like that, see how well it worked out? LOL

i would change the child custody laws in NJ. i am a single father who is trying to get custody of my son and it seems that everything is in favor of his mother even though she is totally not fit to be a parent!

I'd change the law, whatever law is evidently there, that keep the elite 1% of the US population (rich coporate executives) out of real prisons for the crime they commit. They should be doing hard time with the rest of the criminals at Riker's Island, San Quintin, etc., not on a vaction at Club Fed with tennis courts and swimming pools.

Once president of america, japan and india went, all were in a conferece with God and god grated all of them a wish. Pres from America said I want to change some law in my country within my tenire, god said, it shall be done in 10 years. Pres of japan said I want to change some lay in my country within my tenure and god said it shall be dont so within 20 years. Next pres of India said I wanna change a law from my country within my tenure, and God says, hold one, now, thas not possible in my tenure.

You, know I really want to change a lot of things about India, but Its hardly possible.

I would never do that. I would prefer to teach them a lesson and let them change for the better. I believe life is not for ours to take.

No hard frustrated feelings though
