If you could change things about anything, what would you change?
I'd HAVE to change the way money works, or have no money at all. Maybe we could swap or work for what we want like we did in the past.
No guns... Guns don't kill people, people kill people so no guns would change that.

I would change it so that I don't manage to mess up at social interaction nearly as often!

I'd change the way that you can't drive a car (in England, at least) until you're 17  I already pretty much know the highway code and have driven cars in real life before so I think I'm ready to drive, but the government don't  |

Call me a hippie, but I really think the U.S. could stand to legalize weed.
I don't smoke the stuff myself, but I've done the homework.
It's not chemically addictive and far less toxic than cigarettes, yet cigs are legal.
You can't overdose on it, and you're far less likely to commit a violent crime while high than while drunk, yet alchohol is legal.
By our moral standards, we have no real reason to keep pot illegal, other than the fact that it gives money to black market drug dealers, but that's actually a moot point. Consider:
America runs on capitalism. If weed was legalized, our big industries would be all over that new market so fast that we'd be seeing Smoka Cola and Puffy Meals within a week.
Hence, now with a perfectly legal, mass-produced source, drug dealers would lose their staple crop.
I mean, during prohibition, organized crime ballooned, but that bubble burst once there wasn't a public need for bootleggers anymore. It stands to reason that legalization would give drug-related crime a swift kick in the groin.
... Yeah.
Just thinking out loud. >.>;

Weed is the reason "it" used to hit me, my other bro James and my mum. Weed is why "It" used to smash up the house. Weed is why "it" is on the run because "it's" in 30 grand worth of debt. Weed is why 99% of people that know my oldest brother David, hate him. Legalizing weed will solve nothing. Trust me, i know that from personal experience.  |

I'd make gun laws more lax.
I'd change Masked Rider from a total failure to a success that Shotaro Ishinomori could be proud of.
I'd change Kamen Rider Dragon Knight also from a failure to a success.

I'd change the hearts of mankind so that their natural reaction is to help each other, look out for each other, and generally stop being selfish pricks.
Capitalism can work, but today's society is less about "every man and woman finding success through their own talent" and more "if you don't have money, you get screwed by those that do. If you have money, you use it to screw everyone else."
Basically, I'd make altruism work.

I hear you bro  If everyone was willing to help each other, we'd be in a WAY smaller mess than everyone's in now  And we might not have to go to school! ;D |

Haha shhhh, i make exceptions  On topic, have people noticed how those that do terrible things tend to get more help then people that can use some constructive criticism. An example would be how the naughty kids get more attention at school, leaving the others to suffer less time with the teachers. It's a p**s take |
