Hey Pandas, What Simple Great Ideas Do You Have That Would Make The World So Much Better In Your Opinion?

Bingo! Military-grade weapons don't even save soldiers in combat (see: any given war). They just give you a chance to spray-and-pray. Everyone *thinks* they'll be a bada** sniper in a melee, but the fact is, even the best-trained can be killed if ambushed by a putz with an AK. Keep the semi-auto and auto out of civilian hands. I've family who have to hunt for food, but they use a bolt-action single-shot. Y'know why? If you're actually a hunter, you know one shot will scare anything you don't hit. if you need more than one, GTFO the woods. (quoting my gramps yet again.)

Military grade weapons were specifically designed for use in combat, NOT for everyday Americans! Ban the sales of ALL assault rifles, along with the ability to modify your firearms. What possible purpose are assault rifles for ANY gun owner? NONE!!! Mandatory Federal Gun law's in every state, age restrictions, Red flag laws, mandatory gun safety courses & every gun owner MUST be licensed. We must take & pass courses for a drivers license but NOT to purchase guns???? Federal mandatory processes on every gun purchase, including gun shows, a 72 hour waiting period as well as approval on a nationwide database. Those charged with domestic violence lose ownership of guns which must be turned in until trials prove innocent. Every gun owner must maintain gun safes in ALL homes which have minors! I could add so much more!!

If I could upvote this more than once, I would!

So, like most of the world? Very few places have major issues with guns outside of the obvious. I couldn't tell you the last time a heard of a gun issue here in Scotland

Tell me you're a noncy American without telling me you're a noncy American...

Not all churches are filled with money hungry pastors. Our church has a garden that we grow vegetables and fruits in - in 2022, we donated over 9,000 pounds/4082 kgs to local hunger relief efforts.

Churches aren't taxed because they don't provide goods or services. Their "income" is money freely given to them, after the giver has already been taxed on their income. So to tax a church is to double-tax income.

Our church uses most of the money we raise to send to Ukraine. We also don't pay our pastors. We give money to people in our church who need it.

I don't really interact with churches but yeh seems like a good idea

PUT A PRICE ON RELIGION!!!!

Not downvoting, just clarifying. "Free" healthcare still requires money from somewhere. I believe the vernacular needs to change from "free healthcare" to "we all have the RIGHT to healthcare." 100% on the complaining, though!

Healthcare isn't free, but we could use our tax money for it instead of tax cuts for the ultra wealthy.

We call it "universal" healthcare. Obviously it's not free, we pay it with our taxes. It has its limitations, and I can tell since I work there, but no-one will be dismissed for not having money. We all have the same rights.

Get rid of social media

Downvotes are things out of your control. So don't complain about them. :)

What??? Corporations pay taxes? COMMUNIST!!!!! Next thing you'll be saying is that rich people should pay their fair share of taxes!!!!!!!!!! Then you'll want to allow everybody to vote!!!! Even poor people!!!!!!!! (Before you downvote me, I'm JOKING. That's SARCASM. Yes, I know, hard to tell these days.)

And the rich pay taxes too

I've often thought world leaders should have a duel but cage fight sounds better

While I get the point, I don't want a President Camacho (no offense to Terry Crews).

How about the CEOs of the companies that are really causing the wars fight it out?

Golden Rule (written on grade school rulers) "Do unto others as you would have them do unto you" Sounds kind of biblical, is it?

But you see I want to die but I don't want anything or anyone else to die.

I think this is the best rule ever. Honestly we should all follow this

Unless you are kinky and into masochism

In Denmark the "none of the above" is just a voting sheet with no crosses on. We call it blank votes and they do get counted. I always tell ppl that if you don't like any of the parties you can aleays do a blank vote but you must not (and I repeat: you must NOT) stay away from voting. It is your citizen duty in a democratic society as ours. It is a DUTY!

Voting is a duty and a right many take for granted, and I do think it should be mandatory. Or there should be a law that you aren’t allowed to complain about the party in power if you didn’t vote in the election that put them there.

In Australia it's compulsory to vote in state and federal elections and also in the rare referendums -- or at least to turn up and ensure your name is crossed off and you have received a voting slip and handed it in. Yes, some people do a donkey vote (ie merely number candidates in the order in which they appear on the voting slip), or do something else to make their vote invalid, or even hand in a slip without marking anything on it at all. Voting is a responsibility as well as a right. If you don't vote, you get fined (not much, admittedly). IMO, if you don't vote, you have no right to whinge.

NO more mail in ballots period. You vote in person or don't vote at all.

Doesn't the number of people not voting already tell the elected the percentage of the population they have failed to reach and how much work they have to do?

and more people that adopt them.

And more people spaying and neutering their pets so there's fewer puppies and kittens in shelters 👍

To add to this, not having to hock a kidney to afford veterinarian care for them.

THIS! I agree so much!

Maybe a mandatory spay/neutering for pets, unless you get a certain licence or such as a breeder? It would help contain the population without causing harm.

Stop having laws based on religious beliefs.

Doesn't America have a noddy bit of paper specifically saying that this shouldn't happen? And then they went full steam ahead doing it?
