You can snap your fingers and ban anything you want. The state will enforce the ban indefinitely. What would you proscribe and why?

I would ban the use of calling and texting in moving vehicles.
Reality TV is the first one that comes to mind.
I become a little more misanthropic every time I see an ad for a reality TV show. And I don’t like feeling that way.
Assault weapons and high capacity magazines.
Perfume or small dogs. I can’t decided. What a tough decision. hmm…
“Enforce” like the texting and driving ban is being enforced, or effectively enforce?
I mean, is the thing going to be gone, or am I just going to have more reason to complain about something still happening?
If the enforcement is actually effective, my answer is as follows:
“The indoctrination of children below the age of 15 to religion or political identity.”
Chubby little country & western singers who look like they pick their nose & eat the snotty contents & then start babblin on about “ma poorly broken heart now ma baby bear has gone left me.”
@KNOWITALL She left because of your nasty nasal habits, get over it Doowayne!
I’d ban bolwerk. To Guantanamo Bay with you.
Ok. I admit it. The first thing that came to mind was: conservatives.
Sigh. I’m not proud of that. But what else can I say? Guns? Country music? Eggplant? Cancer? Various other diseases? Bullies? Terrorists? Marriage? The jelly who hates me?
So many things to ban. Now I think I’d rather ban some other things on the list instead of conservatives. Oh well.
Ok. It’s a tie between bullies and cancer.
Is this a trick question, do I get to ban only one thing, or do I have a 1st, 2nd, and 3rd choice?
Having re-read the title of the question. If I had one thing and one thing only to ban, I would ban any marriage that was not one man and one woman. God only gave Adam one woman, and Eve on husband, and that was Adam; a male, and Eve was a female less anyone forget.
The FDA…
…for trying to ban electronic cigarettes.
@josie What did I ever do to you?
@SABOTEUR
Why are you selling yourself short?
@SABOTEUR: For real? I hadn’t heard about that. The FDA is trying to ban them outright??
Hell…they been tryin’ to ban e-cigs for at least 3 years! I’ve been vaping for 4…!
The claim is, electronic cigarettes pose a potential health risk.
???
Uh…cigarettes are a proven health risk. Why no ban on tobacco products?!
@bookish1 @Hypocrisy_Central : Why not just ban homos? Banning them would not stop multiple husbands or multiple wives in a marriage, and that is still outside the design and plan the Mighty I Am, King of kings, and Lord of Lords had for marriage; so simply banning gays is no cure.
Talk Radio, though I would settle on Ann Coultier.
Hm. Enviromental pollution, I suppose, or perhaps rampant development.
I contemplated this for a while figuring that most of my choices were too biased, restrictive, or just plain unfair. But I think I’ve settled on one: biological warfare. Outside of producing research that could potentially contribute towards other scientific causes at a later time, I see no benefit to biological warfare.
Television commercials targeted at children.
@mattbrowne Oh, why limit yourself thus. Why not commercials targeted at people?
@jojo – Because we live in free countries. Only children need special protection. Mature adults can make their own choices.
