Using "think of the children" type arguments in political debate should be punishable by loss of passive voting rights (the right to be elected) for life. And the same for "If you have nothing to hide" type arguments.

Essentially the whole climate change debate centers around the wellbeing of future generations aka "the children". How is this not valid?
Didn't Iceland do this a few years ago, after their economy crashed?
I have no idea.
Iceland tried partially crowd-sourcing their constitution. https://www.scientificamerican.com/podcast/episode/iceland-crowdsources-its-constituti-12-11-15/
However, that failed in the parliamentary process. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2010%E2%80%932013_Icelandic_constitutional_reform
The wealthiest 10% of people must donate at least 5% of their yearly earnings to a general fund for public welfare, including free food, shelter and medical aid. Business assets domestic and international are included in this calculation. Anyone who attempts to hide assets to avoid donating, even within the confines of the law, can be tried for the manslaughter of everyone who died from poverty that fiscal year.
Essentially, if you have the financial means to help people, you are legally required to.
Why use the term βdonatingβ? Youβre describing a tax. More specifically, an income tax.
Convert the date format to yyyymmdd on all official government documents.
Why not go with the international on dd.mm.yyyy why make everything special?
Because that date format is inferior. yyyymmdd is the standard date format in IT for a reason, there's nothing special about it?
Youre right, it is sorted automaticaly.
