Dumb Laws.

[Shadow Wolf]

In Conorsville, Wisconsin, USA, it is illegal for a man to fire a gun while his wife is having an orgasm.

I nearly spewed Dr. Peper allover my monitor with an image of a shotgun being fired by a redneck when his wife orgasms, and a possible Foxworthy joke to go along with that.

In Burma it is illegal to get internet access. If a person is found in possession of a modem he can be imprisoned.

The citizens of RF need to challenge this. That way, people from Burma can come to this wonderful site, and become as addicted as we are.

I'd love to read about the incidents that led to the passage of some of these laws!

Why this peculiar preoccupation with shooting whales -- especially in landlocked states?

Dontcha know, whale hunting is more fun than turkey hunting, rabbit hunting, deer hunting, dove hunting, all put together!!!! And besides, who needs the ocean anyway? We have FRESHWATER whales here in Tennessee. Makes for some good country fixins', and goes great with fried tomatoes.

 

[wicca_woman]

its hard to believe that these are still on the books !!
and why exactly would a man want to shoot a gun at the same time as his wife is hitting the big "O" unless he is not the making her hollar !! lol

Technically Princess Diana should have been burnt at the stake for having an affair with James Hewitt, that being an act of High Treason.

 

[Mike182]

I though I would start this after reading the jogging law in Michigan.
What are some of the dumb laws in your state/nation?
In Indiana, it is illegal to:
Sell a cold soft drink in a liquor store.
Have oral or anal sex.

A male, if he is 18 or older, can be charged with statutory rape if he has a female passenger in his car, if she is 16 or younger, and both of her shoes and socks are off.

apart from having oral or anal sex, the others are really funny! :biglaugh:

why is oral and anal sex illegal? :areyoucra

 

[Shadow Wolf]

and why exactly would a man want to shoot a gun at the same time as his wife is hitting the big "O" unless he is not the making her hollar !!

I guess to prove that beyond a shadow of a doubt, you are a bonofied redneck.

why is oral and anal sex illegal? :areyoucra

My guess would be anal is illegal to discriminate against gays, since Indiana is a very conservative state.
As for oral, I think it goes back to Indiana being conservative, and since oral is for nothing more than pleasure, it's viewed as being bad.
Myself, I'm guilty of this "crime" many times over.

An old ordinance declares goatees illegal unless you first pay a special license fee for the privilege of wearing one in public. [/FONT]

Is that still in effect? I would think it would be difficult to enforce.

[FONT=times new roman,helvetica] Duels to the death permitted on the common on Sundays provided that the Governor is present. [/FONT]

So how does one contact the Governor to witness a duel to the death?

It's illegal not to drink milk.

Oh, I'd be in so much trouble! I haven't drank milk since I was a toddler. I hate milk.

The laws that you have mentioned, there is some sense there in it. so these are lagal. But i was actually talking about stupid laws. The laws that are valid by government, but there is no sense in those laws...

 

[Caladan]

Heh when I read Aristotle's Politics I saw that they had the same problem in antiquity. Aristotle writes about the absurd ancient laws which are still part of the legal system because no one bothered to take them off.
I thought about the irony of ancient thinkers discussing the absurdity of ancient laws. for example one ancient law that Aristotle was bringing up was that men could bring their own kinsmen to testify, and based on their testimony a man could be convicted.

Kentucky general laws.

Throwing eggs at a public speaker could result in up to one year in prison. (Repealed, 1975)

One may not dye a duckling blue and offer it for sale unless more than six are for sale at once.

It is illegal to fish with a bow and arrow. ( I have broken this a couple times, but with a cross bow so they can stick it )

A couple city laws:

Fort Thomas, Dogs may not molest cars.

Owensboro, One may not receive anal sex. ( nothing bout giving it )
A woman may not buy a hat without her husband’s permission.

 

[Viker]

It's illegal to fish in the Ohio River in Kentucky without an Indiana Fishing License.

Lexington, By law, anyone who has been drinking is "sober" until he or she "cannot hold onto the ground." ( Somebody please explain this to me )

 

[Agathion]

I refuse to follow any law which is either: stupid, unjust, imposed by morality I consider stupid, or is simply an abomination against freedom. I do as I will and god help any collectivist fool who tries to force me to conform to their system. Sometimes the anarchists are right, Govt. should be punished every now and then to serve as an example to those in power as to what will happen to them if they don't rule according to the people's will. Death to all tyrants and fascist pigs!

 

[Rev. Exordius]

They can pass whatever laws they like, does not mean i will obey them or not seek to get around them. Laws like those posted above are both stupid and unfair and i will violate them whenever i so please, and if the govt. does not like it then too bad. Sorry fascists but you do not tell me what to do. Get lost!

 

[Shadow Wolf]

does not like it then too bad. Sorry fascists but you do not tell me what to do. Get lost!

Sorry, you, but most of the above laws probably aren't even enforced or known about except as jokes and when people are making specific statements about something.
