Those motorised shopping trolleys that old people have - they have no respect for non-crippled shoppers.
Motorbikes - it should be legal to knock the ******* off if they pull alongside you at the front of traffic lights - although since getting the scoob I see it as a drag race now.
Speed Camera signs when there are no speed camera's. Surely this is false advertising?
Benefits should only be paid for the first 3 kids in a family.
Cigarette's or at least make then rediculously more expensive (a quid a *** sounds about right) oh, and Smokers - you STINK!
Fireowrks for the under 25's

Did someone miss the joke 
FB, indeed I am, and not one but two.
My earlier comments you have quoted were, of course, said somewhat tongue in cheek. As they are, in fact, quite soft 
As indeed were my comments about banning boards
Sh*t, what else would I do all day
Having said that, where is the relevance in having dogs to any "defence"

Ok... I have tried, and failed, to sway people on the subject of personal culpability over banning of objects.
So, lets do a paper excercise. Everyone write down what they would like to ban and why.
Note: this is not a debate, so no arguing please, just post what you would like to ban and a brief description of why.
People will ban things that you disagree with, the point of this exercise is for each of us to assess how much we would be affected.
I'll start:-
Ban cats that are allowed to roam free - because they are uncontrolled and cr*p in gardens, kill indigenous wildlife and damage property

Sheepsplitter - Hitler and Stalin would be rather good drinking buddies of yours based on that...aand if Babycham & Prescott were around in the 40's I bet you'd agree on that too!
Currently I want to ban : laser guns on hard shoulders & these bloody fireworks that upset my dog WWII style all night!

car parking spaces that dont have enough width to open the door one "click" without touching the next car along!
for that matter ban excess disabled and mother/child spaces that make up a larger % of the carpark than the % actually disabled or mother/child.

Alcohol to under 21s

Cars for people who don't pay 40% tax
Cats - They serve no useful purpose
btw - You can't ban religion. It helps small minded people who are afraid of eternal darkness get through the day
