If you were given the opportunity to form a new society, and had to write down ten rules for the population of that society, including yourself, to live by.
What would they be?

Your ten rules for a new society.
- Thread starter tumbleweed41
- Start date
Well, if it were I who was establishing a new society, then I would be Leader and King, so the first Law would be that my subjects should bow to no other king than I. The laws that I would impose on those around me, would be laws that I would have to abide by myself, and they would be, that my children should honour and respect their parents, that no one should Jump into the cot with my missus, that no one should steal from me or mine, that no one should harm or kill me or my own, etc, etc, I think you know the kind of laws that I would impose on all around me.

This is a very interesting question... kind of difficult in a way too. This isn't going to be a realistic list (cause some of it would never happen in real-life) but too bad... haha It is what I wish the world would be like.
1. The first one would definitely be NO KILLING.
2. No Fighting.
3. No Classifying
4. No Judging
5. There WILL be equality (for all races and both males and females)
6. This society would not be harmful to the environment. No cars that give off SO2 and NOx. No fossil fuel burning factories. I guess this society would pretty much be in the jungle... you know... like tribes and stuff. I guess it technically wouldn't be a society. It would be tribe-like. Whatever... haha
7. There would be no porn. lol This may seem silly but I am BEYOND against it and if I could create my own society, I wouldn't allow it. Both women and men would not be objects of lust.
8. As far as TV and any other electronics... I would personally hate to get rid of them... I love my computer, I love my Xbox, etc... but... is it really needed? eh... not really. The heck with it... lets just get rid of all that too. Especially TV... nothing is ever good on it anyway. The news even sucks. I've seen CNN talking about fashion for goodness sakes. haha
9. I would hunt for my own food. No fast food crap... as delicious as it is, it makes me flabby. lol
10. There would be no smoking and drinking. I don't like either of these as well so... yeah...
Something tells me that I would probably be the ONLY person in this society... lol OH WELL
I FAIL AT SOCIETY MAKING

For myself, it would be.
- Do not take life unnecessarily.
- Respect one and others beliefs.
- Take responsibility for your own actions.
- Do not take that which is not yours.
- Do not cause physical or mental harm to others.
- Respect and care for the environment.
- Contribute to the common good.
- Defy ignorance.
- Reward achievement.
- Promote equality.

I would copy all the dutch laws and start changing that slowly.
I could make up all the rules myself, but I trust years of finetuning a little more than my own fast thoughts of 10 seperate rules.

If everyone could adhere to "a continuous effort to avoid causing harm and to alleviate harm from concious beings and ecosystems" I'd be happy to start there. (of course my second rule would be that meat eating would be outlawed if they didn't get the message by reading the first one 8^)

1. Maximum Population is 250.
......If the population exceeds, either volunteers will be asked to leave, or the people who produced offspring that put the number over the maximum will have to leave, with their children.
2. No discrimination based on race, gender, age, sexual orientation (in fact, homosexuality is encouranged, because it doesn't produce offspring.)
3. Religion: You can believe whatever you want, but we aren't wasting resources on giant churches or other religious buildings. And don't force your beliefs on others. Believe it privately. If you are obnoxious about your beliefs, you will be kicked out.
4. No ugly people allowed. or people with severe medical problems which would require lots of doctors and medical stuff. I don't want to deal with that. We will have some people who are doctors/dentists so that we can fix people who become injured. And if we really need to we can allow a doctor to come in and fix someone. We can pay them with gold or something that is naturally on our island.
5. Everyone works together, there will be no money. Everyone works an equal ammount (subject to variation based on physical and mental capability) and everyone gets a nice house and lots of respect.
6. No raping, abusing, or killing of other humans or pets in my society.
......If you are caught doing any of these things or it is proven that you have done any of these things, you will be violently and painfully killed. (Note: killing animals for food is okay, but don't torture them first, unless they are scary bugs.)
7. No horrible technology that only makes things more complicated and annoying. This is a small island that we will be living on, and we don't need internet, cars, phones, television, or any of that. We can have light bulbs and running water though. That's the only technology we need. For entertainment, we can put on plays, read and tell stories, swim, have parties, make fires, and there will be musical instruments too.
8. Food will come from our tropical island. There will be lots of fruits and vegetables and some fish and maybe chickens. If it's not on our island, we don't need it. We are dependant from the rest of the world.
9. There will be no formal school. People will teach children how to do things they need to know how to do. We aren't going to teach worthless things or waste our lives in a classroom when we could be out living and experiencing real things instead.
10. Left open for any new rule I need to make.
