will agree they seem stupid laws0 -
Haha one of my best friends got arrested for public intoxication after our company Christmas party last year. When she came back, everyone was chanting, "I'm locked up, they won't let me out" for days. She was so pissed!0

They should have played the song by Akon "Locked Up" every time she entered the building ;P0 -

A few of us made that song our cell ringtone for her for about a week. lol.0 -
In Georgia, no more than 8 women can live in a house together or it is legally considered a whorehouse. In college, we could have fraternity houses with a bunch of guys, but we could only have sorority lodges with no more than 8 women. It is an old law, but it is still enforced. Wtf?0

In Sark, a man is allowed to beat his wife with a stick as long as it's no longer than his forearm and no thicker than his pinkie finger! But only on a Sunday so that's okay!!0

You asked and these are honest to god true laws from South Carolina
1) It is illegal to give or receive oral sex in South Carolina :laugh: OMG there would be so many people in jail if they in forced this one
2)When approaching a four way or blind intersection in a non-horse driven vehicle you must stop 100 ft from the intersection and discharge a firearm into the air to warn horse traffic.
3)It is perfectly legal to beat your wife on the court house steps on Sundays.
4)It is a capital offense to inadvertently kill someone while attempting suicide
5)By law, if a man promises to marry an unmarried woman, the marriage must take place.
These are only just a few of my favorite dumb laws of SC
God im such a criminal....:bigsmile:0 -
Agreed on the worldwide herbage laws
In South Africa you have to have a license to buy a television set.1) It is illegal to give or receive oral sex in South Carolina :laugh: OMG there would be so many people in jail if they in forced this one
This is by far the tops!! haha0 -
I have seen laws worst than that

Well I dont know if these are dumb or not....you tell me.....
** Arkansas Constitution Article 19 Section 1 states that no person who denies the being of a God shall hold any office in the civil departments of this State, nor be competent to testify as a witness in any Court.
** In College Station, Texas, you can have a restraining order placed on someone from a property (apartment, duplex, business building) however, if the restrained person is invited by another person, they can enter the property legally. Officers can come and tell them there is a restraining order for them at that location, but cannot make them leave if they are with the person who invited them.
** No pilot-in-command of an aircraft shall permit a person to enter or leave the aircraft during flight without a parachute. -- Canada
** Before a man asks for a woman’s hand in marriage, he must be “inspected by all the barnyard animals on the young woman’s family’s property, to ensure a harmonious farm life. -- Raleigh, NC
** Strippers may not come closer than four feet to any customer. -- Spokane, Washington
** No boxing contest shall be conducted, and no contestant shall engage in a contest, between opposite sexes. -- Washington, DC (I thought we were all equal...WTF?)
** Children may not wear a Halloween mask unless they get a special permit from the sheriff. --Walnut, California
** It is illegal to drive within an arm’s length of alcohol – including alcohol in someone else’s blood stream. --Lubbok, TX0 -
In many parts of Georgia, it is illegal to sell alcohol on Sundays. Like that will deter anyone ... They'll just stock up on the other days.0

You haven't heard south african laws obviously
1. You're not allowed to kiss in public if you're not 16 or older.
2. It is legalised to have sex (regarding prostitution in our country, to assist in that) if you're 12 years old.

Laws I've heard from turkey:
1. If you are not within 5km radius of you husband, you will be arrested if you do not have a certificate from him stating you may be.
2. If you are raped, you have to have at LEAST 3 other male witnesses in order for you to be considered for the case.0 -

same here in south africa0 -
In New Mexico you can't buy alcohol before noon on Sunday...I guess Jesus doesn't approve of alcohol sales until after Sunday services or something. NFL kickoff is at 11AM due to our timezone...god help you if you forgot to get your beer the day before...you pretty much have to wait until half time. This law used to also 'f' up brunch...but they recently changed the law to make it ok to get booze before noon so long as you were at a restaurant...guess Jesus doesn't care so long as you're at a restaurant...and probably some services end at 10 or something and people go for early lunch or brunch after services and need their Bloody Mary or whatever.0

Same thing in Melbourne FL, except it's 5 women lol0 -

gawd jesus is such a confusing fellow...I'm starting to thing he might be mildly mentally handicapped or just an *kitten*.....or both 0 -

Jesus was actually fine with it. It's the Christians who have a problem with it, and it's also amazing how many Christians don't know **** about the actual biblical scriptures, especially in Georgia where I am from. I am pretty sure you can buy alcohol on Sunday in almost all parts of Georgia now. Thank God for that! For years we would stock up on Saturday nights and of course end up drinking it all anyway. Then we would just waste money in bars on Sunday.0 -
Canadian self defence laws /thread
BRB paying careful attention not to "assault" or apply unreasonable force to an intruder that's breaking into my home with a weapon with the sole intention of stealing property and harming anyone that gets in their way.
Logic not even once.0 -

This is something I never understood when I lived in Georgia before we were allowed to purchase alcohol in stores on Sunday. Why could we buy it in bars and not stores? And why was noon the magic hour when it was ok to drink? Also, why would everyone stare at me when I wanted to have wine with breakfast, but if I poured orange juice in it, then everyone was cool with it? lol.0 -
Any law that binds the use of common sense or logic. They're the "we're going to arrest you because the law says we have to even though you were obviously right considering the circumstances" kind of law.0

alcohol with breakfast is unacceptable unless it has some form juice in it, such as tomato juice (bloody's) and mimosa's....well unless your camping then beer seems to be good all around meal replacement no matter the time.....You should know that......0 -
3. Curfew laws....I think parents can handle setting rules for their kids
Unfortunately society has proven otherwise. Maybe if parents were allowed to spank their kids, and the courts would actually punish youth.....0 -

Fuked by the hard long dik of the law! I personally feel that real people can handle their choices just fine...I think all the laws that make that hard to do are just there to pull in revenue for the state....I actually sat in jail for 5 days for telling a cop he could go fuk himself after harassing me ALL night....got a disorderly and refused to pay got picked up months later on a warrant and just decided to sit it out rather than pay the *kitten* for using my tongue....0 -

Courts do punish the youth sometimes way to harsh if you ask me....Couldn't tell you how many friends ended up in juvie just to graduate to county and then to prison.....I know so many that did the same childish *kitten* but never got caught and therefore never placed into an environment filled with other like minded punk kids, and matured out of their ways....0 -
Don't go whaling in Oklahoma you'll be in big trouble lol Real law still cracks me up.0

I'm in Georgia and here are a few of my state's gems:
Donkeys may not be kept in bathtubs.
in Acworth- All citizens must own a rake.
In Columbus- Crosses may be burned on someone else’s property, so long as you have their permission.
In Marietta- Though it is illegal to spit from a car or bus, citizens may spit from a truck.
In Roswell- Erotic dancing is prohibited on Sundays.
In Atlanta- Against the law to tie a giraffe to a telephone pole or street lamp.0 -
I went to Pigeon Forge, TN on a vacation a couple of years back. They were 'semi-dry' - stores could sell beer or wine. But not both.
Very confusing wondering around a supermarket looking for a bottle of wine for dinner, and then having someone look down their nose at you as they explain that the only alcohol they sell is beer.
Wine is only for alcoholics and <gasp> Catholics, apparently.0 -
"It is unlawful in Virginia to hunt or kill any wild bird or wild animal, including any nuisance species, with a gun, firearm or other weapon on Sunday, which is hereby declared a rest day for all species of wild bird and wild animal life, except raccoons, which may be hunted until 2:00 a.m. on Sunday mornings."
In Culpeper, Virginia, it is illegal to wash a mule on a sidewalk.
In Prince William County, it is illegal to park your car on the railroad tracks.
In Virginia Beach, it is illegal to use profanity on Atlantic Avenue or the boardwalk (and they do enforce this one. They have signs EVERYWHERE. I've been there many times and they are SERIOUS about this one).
In Waynesboro, it is illegal for a woman to drive a car up Main Street unless her husband is walking in front of the car waving a red flag.0 -
In Texas we have the blue law.. we can't purchase alcohol on Sundays either, and beer and wine can't be purchased before noon.
It's illegal to own more than 6 dildoes.. where are the *kitten* police?
You also can't purchase an anatomically correct *kitten* unless you sign a waiver stating it's being used for educational purposes. (which is why some have a smiley face on them)0 -
A woman may not cut her hair without her husband's consent.
Pedestrians crossing the highway at night must wear taillights.
A motorist with criminal intentions [must] stop at the city limits and telephone the chief of police as he is entering the town.
It is illegal for men who have mustaches to kiss women0
