If you took power by military coup, what are the first 5 laws would you put in place?

here's mine:

1) Affirmative action: workplaces must employ an equal number of women as men, with equitable salaries.

2)Violence against women or domestic abuse would be harshly punished.

3)Strict media guidelines would ban racist, sensationalist or false reporting.

4)Any doctors found to be performing female-foetus abortions would be jailed.


5) Environmentally destructive mega projects such as the grand canal would be halted.

1. American and British whites only for English teaching jobs

2. Mandatory minimum Master's degree for uni. jobs

3. No western fast food chain restaurants

4. No smoking in bars or nightclubs

5. Spitting, throwing cig butts, and littering punishable by cruel and unusual measures.

Ease foreign food taxes and fees.....

I would get rid of the national exam. Let the universities determine the merit of individual students on the basis of grades, notable accomplishments, etc.

Well, I don't think i could improve things much. I am not politically motivated and I don't play nice.

But about the equal workforce thing:
Do you really think it would be wise to fire half the police and fire departments and replace them with untrained women just to provide equity?

How about dock workers? Factory workers? Do you wish to fire half the nurses and make men do that job?

Does not seem practical at all.

I don't see this thread going anywhere good, but here are mine. I don't think they are very harsh but they might fix some things.

1. No littering.
2. Change the structure of the university entrance exam, or like someone else said, eliminate it entirely. A whole education system overhaul would be good but I'm not really qualified or knowledgeable enough to provide alternatives. I just think it's sad the way kids spend so much time in school.
3. I wish there were some care programs available for senior citizens. Who knows, there might actually be but I see so many out on the sidewalks selling random things or dragging cardboard; I wish they were taken care of better.
4. HUGE enforcement of all traffic laws starting immediately. From the bus driver all the way down to the pedestrian.
5. More programs for victims of domestic violence (men or women) and some enforced laws to go with it.

I think instituting some of these would help a lot toward raising the quality of living here.

One of the most important factors in ensuring a developed prosperous nation is the rule of law. Contracts should be obeyed to the letter with serious financial consequences including the payment of all legal bills towards the offending breaching party.

Prostitution will always be problematic for any country, but it is disgustingly so here. It should occur in private well away from the eyes of easily exploitable teenage girls. The wink-wink nudge-nudge attitude of barber shops, massage parlours and what not isn't fooling anyone. Teenagers need to realize that prostitution should never be considered a career choice or viable life path. That said, once a reasonable and adult choice has been made to pursue such a life, options and healthcare should be afforded the women involved.

I would also institute a law banning the system of hierarchy that Korea is a slave too. Drunken racist old whoremongers have no business deciding what direction this country should be heading in. A more merit based system of advancement would do wonders for this country.

The problem isn't the laws. Korean laws actually look pretty good on paper. The problems are caused by how selectively and ineffectively certain laws are enforced.

Having said that, if I were king of Korea going after crimes against women such as prostitution and domestic violence would be my first priority. The amount of violence toward women in this country is unbelievable.

I'd make a law against public drunkenness, the amount of which is also unbelievable here.

I'd also relax the laws on marijuana, but I'd do that if I were king of America, too.
