This topic is not supposed to be a game. Here you can write down even more senseless knowledge. As the title says, this one is about stupid laws. Here is one from Germany: Imagine a tree. Imagine we have autumn/fall. The tree looses its leafes. When you now pick up a leaf from the ground to look at, you may not put it back on the ground. When you put it back and a police(wo)man sees you, he/she may take 10 ? from you. Officially it's pollution. XD Lets play plants! Photosynthesis... Photosynthesis... Photosynthesis... |

That makes no sense to me whatsoever - how can dead leaves cause pollution or littering when they're biodegradable? And what if it's windy weather? They'd be blown around all over the place anyway! Whoever came up with that law needs a slap for being so unreasonable.  |

It is illegal in california to ride a bike in a swimming pool. There is two flaws with that 1:Its impossible 2:if they try,they get their own punishment. The only thing that should be illegal here is public display of stupidity In my nerd cave, nobody can hear you scream. Feed my pets: Shroomy and Glow! |

New Zealand has an Anti Smacking Law which means that only light smacking may be used for the purpose of parental correction. Anything more and you can be prosecuted by the crown. We just had a non binding Citizens Intiated Referrendum on the question "Should smacking as part of good parental correction be a criminal offence in New Zealand?". It was quite a confusing question, but any theres were the results: Yes: 17% No: 88%. What do you think how would you have voted? Go Pern! |

In one part of Germany the death penalty was never abolished. They don't do it anylonger, but that went never the "official-path". It was in Saarland or Schleswig-Holstein (not sure, I only remember it was in Germany and it was something with S...) Lets play plants! Photosynthesis... Photosynthesis... Photosynthesis... |

In some states, it's illegal to hunt wildlife with a flash light! In some states, it IS legal to bring road kill home for dinner In some states it's illegal to pretend your parents are rich. Once, a law in Greece made video games illegal In ancient times, the smallest crimes, say being late for work, we punishable by death! beep |

Ok, I will look it up, my school's agenda's, have, had for a couple of years, silly and or wacky laws. Ok, it may take me a while. EDIT: Okay, both years, 6th and 7th, had sections of the agenda with 'loony laws'. Also, I didn't make these up, I wouldn't make them up. I'll list them all: 1st: An old law in British Columbia, Canada, made it illegal to kill a sasquatch (Bigfoot) 2nd: In Denmark, you cannot wear a mask. 3rd: In Alabama, bear wrestling matches are outlawed 4th: In Utah, it is illegal to cause a catastrophe 5th: In the UK, MP's are not allowed to wear armor in Parliament 6th: In Washington (The state), it's illegal to pretend one's parents are rich. 7th: It's illegal to sell tarantulas in Toronto, Ontario, Canada 8th: In Brookfield, Wisconsin, it is illegal to use another person's phone to make a prank call 9th: In Acworth, Georgia, all citizens must own a rake. 10th: In Alberta, Canada, you can't hunt wildlife using a flashlight 11th: In Tennessee, it is illegal to catch a fish with a lasso 12th: In West Virginia, you CAN take road kill home for dinner 13th: In 2002, the greek government passed a flawed law that accidentally banned all electronic games 14th: In Michigan, the last sunday in June is officially known as "Log Cabin Day" (1rst agenda DONE) 15th: Athen's first legal code, written in 620 BCE, prescribed death for almost every crime, even the most trivial ones (END 2nd agenda) Okay, I believe that is all of the laws I said, and some extra, now, it says what the laws said word for word. beep |

oh lol man I didn't mean retroactively, thanks for the research though. i just don't want the thread to get filled with urban legends sorry for any distress i'm pretty sure i remember that greek law ahahahaha |

LoverIan |
It's funny when you think about it though. Yeah, I know, but, I actually felt like getting those agendas and researching all those laws, before you asked for the regions. It also has a lot of other random info. beep |

Suicide is against the law in America, maybe in other places. in the spring you gotta let the flowers fully blossom |

It's actually legal to some extent in Oregon (and I'm sure other states). It has to be doctor-sanctioned, though. Ooh, I found one: No vehicle without a driver may exceed 60 miles per hour. Oh California.... You have to be honest with yourself when you are writing. If that leads to somewhere unexpected then perhaps you really needed to go there. -- Jim Adkins |

No, really any kind of death! Even when you die of age or of bad diseases like cancer! You may NOT die without reserved grave. Lets play plants! Photosynthesis... Photosynthesis... Photosynthesis... |

Don't know. I heard it in a German "Science" Show. They work quite inaccurate. I think they are half a doku-soap for dummies and half a poor copy of the MythBusters from USA... But sometimes even a blind chicken finds a corn, so I thought they might be right XD Lets play plants! Photosynthesis... Photosynthesis... Photosynthesis... |

"no vehicle without a driver..." Mythbusters are very upset right now |

Of course they're, they'll do just about anything for a good episode, yes, they'll break californian laws. So, it's time to put a car on one of those car carrying trucks, and drive fast! LOL, the driver would get multiple fines. Also, that is why, in california, you put the car, in PARK, so that it doesn't go down a hill, and get 60+ MPH. California, has always been weird, I laughed when I say the law. Okay, raise your hand if you think, that Arnold Swarhanager (SP?), had something to do with the law, as in it's creation or something else that means he was involved. beep |

I doubt he had anything to do with that law. I'm pretty sure it's been around since before I was born. Now if only I could find the actual law so I knew when it was created.

So, you're how old? I know someone, and when I told the law in class, they said "I don't think that law exists", I asked him how he knows, "Because I used to live there", and we're all here in AZ at my school (At least, we should be!), so, in 8th grade, he's gone to the school since 5th, so, I don't really think he would know all the californian laws. I replied "I don't really think that law is mentioned, or comes up much, because, well, it's kinda hard for a car to move 60MPH or above. So, the only time it comes up, is if an idiot doesn't put their car on park, when up a hill (meaning they're out of the car, or else, they'd be a 'driver'.), and it begins to go down the hill. Or, say when a truck that carries cars is going 60+MPH." So, that's when the conversation ended, for some reason, wait, the teacher yelled at us, and the whole class, to be quiet (Pretty much EVERYONE was talking). Also, I was kinda making a pun, He's been in movies, say, terminator, and others, that, the technology exists to where they could actually have cars driving on their own. And, a common joke is that he has low intelligence, so I guess it ties in. Or maybe, since he's an actor, there were movies that had cars that drove themselves, so, maybe it is a law to protect the city (Get it, terminator, intelligent cars, Arnold you know who?) Anyways, maybe the law was created by someone crazy when they heard about cars now getting software to be close to driving themselves (Like a special on how new cars can park themselves.). beep |

In Australia it's illegal for a minor to buy paint (I think). Something to do with the anti-graffiti laws. Also you can (and likely WILL) get a longer prison term for bringing a banned game into the country than for murder. Hashikin ko Tyni Kong Taria Haju'Rumia'an Klodz'Proddi.

Wow, well maybe it is a drug issue, because, well, people can get high off of paint. (FOR SOME REASON, the school actually will end up telling us how to get high in strange ways, to prevent us from getting high, yeah, it's like telling terrorists how to make explosives from ingrdients you can find at home, to prevent them from using them....). A banned game? Weird..... beep |

austrailia apparently get offended so badly they just ban stuff In my nerd cave, nobody can hear you scream. Feed my pets: Shroomy and Glow! |

Yes, in Australia you can't buy spray paint if you're under 18. When you go into paint shops, they keep their spray paint under lock and key and you have to show your drivers license (if you don't look old enough). The issue with the paint, as far as I can recall, was an effort to cut down on graffiti. You also can't carry a sharp knife with you in public ('concealed', like carrying it in your bag to and from somewhere) if you're under 16. This made cooking vanilla slice at school in year 6, bringing our own utensils from home, very funny. XD Guess who brought the knife.  My TCR Norns |

We apparently have that spray paint law in the USA as well, or at least in my state. It applies to permanent markers and similar items, too. I know this because I was actually carded while buying school supplies for college a few years back. Our policy is drug war inspired, though. *eyeroll* Although it's entirely possible that the WalMart I was buying them at was simply making up policy as it went along. You have to be honest with yourself when you are writing. If that leads to somewhere unexpected then perhaps you really needed to go there. -- Jim Adkins |

Malkin, if that law applies to america, then I can actually get several jerks at my school written up, because, well, they carry knives, like pocket ones, and they brag, they'll even show them to others when the teacher isn't looking, they actually think that they're bad a-well you gt my point. They annoy me because they think that they can push people around, walking around the school acting cool, it just annoys me! Oh, and I REALLY, REALLY, want to get them in trouble, and revenge is something I deserve to get. Also, Malkin, I actually think it'd be better to bring a butter knife, I use it for my lunches when I bring a pizza type food, and people think I could cut somebody, the irony, is that it'd take a while for it to make actual cuts. beep |
|||
Malkin Manager |
The knife law is a fairly recent law, it came in about 1997 ish, so it might not have an equivalent US law. If you're concerned about your classmates carrying pocket knives, tell your parents and teachers about it, and avoid confronting your classmates. For the vanilla slice, it had a biscuit base, so we needed a sharper cooking knife than a butter knife/table knife. Any other knife just wouldn't have cut it. Although, looking at the actual law, it seems that what I was doing with the knife was perfectly legal. Hooray!  My TCR Norns |

LoverIan |
Yeah, well, I'm not concerned or scared. I just really want revenge, they kinda make fun of me, and I REALLY want to get them into trouble. A couple are on student council, and get multiple referrals each year on average, suspensions too. If they get 1 referral, kicked off, and that would mean I get a shot at their positions. I ran for president, and a popular kid won, but, two people, the vp, and treasurer, are both the ones who most likely will get in big trouble. One of them one by default..... Also, I've never gotten into a fight, I'm lucky, I annoy the heck out of people, confront them, and they get angry, really angry at me. Weirdly enough, nobody does anything, despite threats from some people. So, I have no worries about confrontation. All they ever do is make fun of me, which I get my revenge for. I think, if I have to deal with their immaturity, behavior, and just who they're, they need to deal with me. Also, Malkin, awesome! Hooray. I see what you did there, "Just wouldn't CUT it" ^_^ beep |

Hey 1BDI if you want more war-on-d'hurgs fun, look up Joe Arpaio. I live in Maricopa county. |

^The location/flag is a lie (PORTAL REFERENCE) If you live in Maricopa county, that would mean you live in arizona, but, your flag says, a different country..... beep |

You're right! I'll update it to reflect my position accurately. Because decepticons are truthful about everything |

LoverIan |
1. I said LOCATION, not POSITION, there is a 3 letter difference. 2. That is not accurate, that is isreal's flag (I think, I know I could be confusing it with another). 3. *Facepalms* I think you're confusing Deception with honesty, and deceptions, are decieving, not truthful 4. I really hope that your post was a joke, really! 5. This IS NOT the off topic topic, so, we should get back on track. beep |

Getting back on track then... Not sure if this counts as an actual "strange law" or not, but at the supermarket where I work, we're only allowed to sell a maximum of two packs of any medication that contains oaracetamol per transaction. But this is why I think that policy is strange and flawed, because the customer would be allowed to leave the checkout with their two packs, and then go and buy any additional packets of paracetamol they want from our instore pharmacy. |
