Eazy 357 Posted March 22, 2013 Share Posted March 22, 2013 Canada: It is illegal to kill a sick person by scaring him. Ottawa: It is illegal to eat ice cream on Bank Street on Sundays.

K20 Posted March 22, 2013 Share Posted March 22, 2013 In the UK If your pregnant and you need to pee, and there's no toilet nearby. A police officer has to give his/her hat for the woman to pee in. FACT! Its illegal for a vehicle to go round a roundabout more then three times in one go. FACT! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ex Hellraiser Posted March 22, 2013 Share Posted March 22, 2013 In Arkansas, a man can legally beat his wife, but not more than once a month. What a stupid thing Speaking of Arkansas, I heard somewhere that it's illegal to mispronounce the state's name there. Awe, so i can't pronounce it Are-Kansas there? It is just Kansas with "Ar" in front of it, anyway ... In Ohio here, it is illegal to get a fish drunk. It is illegal to walk a chicken or cow down Lake Road (the road that runs along the Lake Erie coastline). Highway speed limits are 60mph(97kph) in most parts, 65mph in others. The turnpike is 70, and they are trying to pass a law to raise it to 70 anywhere the highways are in rural area. There is a highway in Texas where the speed limit is 85, which is the fastest one in the country. Yesterday someone blew past in a Nissan Sentra going 115mph during rush hour traffic, weaving all over the place. We need the speed limit raised. No one gives a sh*t about their speed as it is.

Diggdydog Posted March 22, 2013 Share Posted March 22, 2013 I was pretty sure that pregnant woman urinating in a hat was true. Although, it migh just be some sort of urban legend, it does come under discussion on TV shows every so often. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tracksuit Hitman Posted March 22, 2013 Share Posted March 22, 2013 I think that how the age limits on buying cigarettes and alcohol in the UK changing from 18 to 21 and to the future 'challenge 25' is stupid. I don't see why there's being such a large increase on the age limit of purchasing alcohol and cigarettes. If at sixteen you're seen as an adult who can face the 'big bad world' then why can you not purchase a packet of cigarettes or a bottle/pack of alcohol until you're 21/25? The most mediocre and annoying laws I've ever heard of, discussed, argued and been challenged about. aka geobst Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stephan90 Posted March 22, 2013 Share Posted March 22, 2013 I heard there are countries which have speed limits on the highway. But I am not sure if it's a myth. No Germany doesn't have speed limits which is all fun and games until you near one of many baustellen driving 160-200+ km/h that is. This was fun. Actually I believe Germany is the only country without speed limit on the Autobahn in general. That's why many foreigners come with their super sport wagons to test their limits which they can't do at home. As you might know we have like 40-50% Autobahn with speed limit, for example bacause of building sights. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BrownBear Posted March 22, 2013 Share Posted March 22, 2013 (edited) It's legal to kill a Scotsman in the city of York, providing he has a bow and arrow. It's illegal to deface the Queen's image on a note or coin, or even to put a postage stamp with a monarch's face upside down on a letter.

Guest Posted March 22, 2013 Share Posted March 22, 2013 Apparently some kid got arrested for shouting "bingo" in a bingo hall crowded with senile pensioners. He was ordered to not say "bingo" for 6 months which just adds to the hilarity, how the f*ck can you enforce that without cameras and voice sensors everywhere?

theNGclan Posted March 22, 2013 Share Posted March 22, 2013 (edited) From what I remember, it's illegal to be an atheist in Kentucky.

lol232 Posted March 22, 2013 Share Posted March 22, 2013 Massachusetts has a law which says: No gorilla is allowed in the back seat of any car.

Sh*t, this sucks, when driving around with my gorilla in Michigan, I have to put him in the front seat. First thing, why? Second thing, if it's for some sort of safety reason (gotta protect dem gorillas yo) then if a crash occured the gorilla would die. If the gorilla was in the front, you'd both die because the gorilla would cause the crash in the first place. another genius in 'murica. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rown Posted March 22, 2013 Share Posted March 22, 2013 I think public spitting is also banned in Singapore. But that doesn't bother me. But they also banned chewing gum. Which is a bit over the top. Rown Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mince Posted March 22, 2013 Share Posted March 22, 2013 I had a look and found out that it's illegal to sell cars on Sunday in some states because it gives everyone a day off each week without fear of their competitors being open. It really isn't a stupid law. That's part of it. You cannot sell cars or sign any sort of contract in my state (North Carolina) on Sunday. You also cannot purchase beer and alcohol before a certain time (I think it's 12 PM) on Sunday. Three months ago, my mom and I couldn't buy a bottle of wine as a present when we went Christmas shopping at Walmart because we came too early. Those things are still much more lenient than how the older folks around here remember them. Nothing was open on Sunday in the 50's-70's apart from grocery stores. Big places like Walmart would chain off all the merchandise except for the groceries. These laws are intended to force the moral standard of the Sabbath: Sunday should be designated as a day of rest on which no business takes place. My Business Law teacher says that we should go back to that, and that "everyone needs to go to church". Thank you USA for your amazingly stimulating education and wonderful pro-capitalist laws, couldn't have survived otherwise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm guessing you skipped everything else and missed the sarcasm? I was referring to how the people who would most vehemently defend America and its capitalist practices (conservative Christians) are the first to pass laws that actually limit our free markets and money-making practices by taking away 1/7 of our possible business. That being said, most people under 40 today don't really support that kind of nonsense. The laws will hopefully be entirely gone in the near future.
