No just dont give out guns to the general public, they should only go to the people who need them, the police force and the military. As for laws, they are essential to make society run smoothly, without them we'd have chaos.

Are you off your rocker !!! How will making prostitution legal solve this..let me ask you this wont most men and woman (as male prostitution does exist too) want to lose their virginity too(and still have sex with) someone they love or know even ? Someone their actually attracted to even ?? Sexually transmitted diseases need to be tackled with the on going promotion of safe sex..using a condom, sleeping with people that you have known longer than one night..not legalising prostitution ffs. The only people that would benefit from this would be the prostitutes, they'd be able to ply there trade legally, thats it.

All drugs have adverse side affects, check your aspirin bottle ! If you were to legalise..say heroin..you would be lowering the crime rate..as most heroin users steal to fund there expensive habit. You'd never get rid of the black market that say sell counterfeit dvds, clothes, bags, trainers which the proceeds go to buy more drugs.
You wanna stop wars with other countries over resources? Get on completely renewable energy, water and food production and remove allot of the patents and copyrights that are holding back technological progress in our country to allow new businesses to start up and create more jobs.
This is agree with..we need make a big push with renewable energy sources, oil and gas should have been ditched bloody years and years ago.

Prohibition doesnt work..as it generally goes ignored.

I dont need your forgiveness, i give say when i need to give say and thats the end of it..i dont need to vote to achieve anything. Everyone has the right to vote and i choose not to. When people finally realise that saving the planet is more important that damn politics, then ill vote and maybe people will vote with me, but i doubt it.
