North Dakota: It's illegal to lie down and fall asleep with your shoes on. Are these real? I mean, seriously. Are these state laws real? If they are, then motherf*cker, lol.

They're real, but no one enforces them since they are incredibly out of date. Plus the reason why they are still on the books, is because there is so many of them and people are lazy.

Ari Gold Posted January 11, 2012 Share Posted January 11, 2012 Vermont: It is illegal to deny the existence of God. I'm f*cked for sure. In 2008, 34 percent of Vermonters claimed no religion; this is the highest percentage in the nation.[68][69] A survey suggested that people in Vermont and New Hampshire which were polled jointly, were less likely to attend weekly services and are less likely to believe in God (54 percent) than people in the rest of the nation (71 percent). The two states were at the lowest levels among states in religious commitment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sunrise Driver Posted January 11, 2012 Share Posted January 11, 2012 (edited) Some laws are from 19th century. I also read that jumping from high building in NYC is punishable by death. Edited January 11, 2012 by Street Mix Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lil weasel Posted January 11, 2012 Share Posted January 11, 2012 Why are those state laws so weird? Some of them don't make any freakin SENSE! Is there some story behind it? You need to know When the law was made. For instance horses are easily scared by unfamilar sights, noises and odors. So when Automobiles appeared horses were at risk of running amok. Horse owners pushed for the laws to protect their valuable animals. In New Haven Connecticut puritans insisted on everyone to have haircuts using a village bowl. The bowl was put over the head and whatever hair stuck out was cut off. Shaving was illegal on Sundays, etc. Weapons were required to be brought to Church, as protection from the 'Indians'. A lot of laws seem nutty now, but had a reason at the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was present when a local TV news was interviewing workers at a foundry as they were going home. The question was about sexually suggestive material (calenders, Pin-ups, etc) in the workplace. Most all of the men who spoke to the reporter were against it. After the evening news report, the next day management told them to remove the stuff from their lockers and work areas. Well, they had all said they were against it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trip Posted January 11, 2012 Share Posted January 11, 2012 There definitely are some weird laws in some US states. I can't remember what southern state has a law that says horses can't wear pants. Most of the weird las aren't enforced. There is an enforced law in my state(Pennsylvania) that sucks balls. We can only buy alcohol in state run stores and not on Sunday. Beer is only sold at beer distributors. You can't pick up a bottle of wine or 6 pack of beer at the supermarket. Oh and you can't buy a 6 pack of beer at the distributor either - you have to buy full cases. If you just want a 6 pack you have to get it from a bar.

I think the Hawaii one about boats makes sense. They're islands, so boats would be the only escape if it all flooded (and planes are much less practical). Kind of the same logic for why every bedroom in a given house has to have a window big enough to climb out of. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
