WotanAnubis Posted September 4, 2007 Report Share Posted September 4, 2007 According to that site, my country, the Netherlands, only has 2 dumb laws: It is legal to smoke pot, buy it, or have less than 5 grams with you. Prostitution is legal but the prostitutes must pay taxes like any other business. And I don't even think they're that dumb. Is this a sign that Dutch lawmakers are actually somewhat competent or that the site hasn't thorouhgly investigated Dutch law? I'm betting it's the latter.

Acal Posted September 4, 2007 Report Share Posted September 4, 2007 Latter, every country has laws that have been totally forgotten about and now no longer serve any purpose Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redsliver Posted September 4, 2007 Report Share Posted September 4, 2007 Canada somewhere also 25 years is life sentence. Forget if all Canada or just one piece. All of Canada, a life sentence is 25 years Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Acal Posted September 5, 2007 Report Share Posted September 5, 2007 Isn't a life sentence in the US 40 years? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johns_tinkerbell Posted January 25, 2008 Report Share Posted January 25, 2008 I was reading some of the post and I decided to go and look for myself. I found some crazy laws that are from my husband's home state of Tennessee. You can’t shoot any game other than whales from a moving automobile. Driving is not to be done while asleep. (Well I do this all the time, joking) It is illegal for a woman to call a man for a date. It is illegal to use a lasso to catch a fish. In Lenior county When you pull up to a stop sign you must fire a gun out the window to warn horse carriages that you are coming. In Memphis, where my husband grew up. It’s illegal for frogs to croak after 11 PM. Illegal for a woman to drive a car unless there is a man either running or walking in front of it waving a red flag to warn approaching motorists and pedestrians.

RikuDrak Posted January 25, 2008 Report Share Posted January 25, 2008 Some of these were really funny, though the state I lived in when I lived in the US didn't really have all that amusing of ones. And the ones for the Netherlands are only "dumb" if you're a conservative asshat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
