WHAT IS YOUR DANGEROUS IDEA?
The history of science is replete with discoveries that were considered socially, morally, or emotionally dangerous in their time; the Copernican and Darwinian revolutions are the most obvious. What is your dangerous idea? An idea you think about (not necessarily one you originated) that is dangerous not because it is assumed to be false, but because it might be true?[/quote:80530]

Not that I agree with it (because I am not religious) but it would be interesting to see how a nation with the combination of Church and States would run with modern laws and society crafted around religion. I know you see this a lot in Muslim countries but I often wonder how this would work with Christianity.
That and the legalization of Marijuana and Absinthe.

I would like to go open a Safari camp and let customers hunt men instead of animals.

Allowing every person a "free murder card" to use on a person they deem unfit to live. WIth the availibility to re-earn the card if you elect to go to court and argue the reason you killed the person. If found just, or atleast justifiable, you would be given another free kill.
Examples.
"i killed jimmy because he was a fucking idiot". You dont go to jail, but you dont get your card back.
"i killed jimmy because he killed my mother and it was his second kill, and he didnt have a card". Justifiable, you get your card back.

Raise the speed limit to 150km/h (approx 95mph) and allow for 1 free "Carmageddon"-style pedestrian takedown a year * .
* Used in conjunction with Misc's "Free Murder Card"
