I dunno... some of the ones they listed for my state seem fake. |

Civilisation, I vaguely realized then - and subsequent observation has confirmed the view - could not progress that way. It must have a greater guiding principle to survive. To treat it as a carcase off which each man tears as much as he can for himself, is to stand convicted a brute, fit for nothing better than a jungle existence, which is a death-struggle, leading nowhither. I did not believe that was the human destiny, for Man individually was sane and reasonable, only collectively a fool. I hope the gunner of that Hun two-seater shot him clean, bullet to heart, and that his plane, on fire, fell like a meteor through the sky he loved. Since he had to end, I hope he ended so. But, oh, the waste! The loss! - Cecil Lewis | |

Indeed many are probably fake or misinterpreted. For example in Israel:"Bicycles may not ridden without a license." Actually the "license" requested in some cities (in the past) was a registration tax. One would pay a tax an get a plate to attach to his bicycle. It was not a "driving" license. Also :"Picking one’s nose on the Sabbath is illegal. " The site admits that it is not a law (so it cannot be illegal). It was a "religious directive". "Raising a pig on Israeli soil will result in the murder of said pig." - as in any other country. Why would one raise a pig ? To have a nice pet or to eat it ? A rather DUMB site.... |

Random FML: Today, I was fired by my boss in front of my coworkers. It would have been nice if I could have left the building before they started celebrating. FML The founding of the bulk of the world's nation states post 1914 is based on self-defined nationalisms. The bulk of those national movements involve territory that was ethnically mixed. The foundation of many of those nation states involved population movements in the aftermath. When the only one that is repeatedly held up as unjust and unjustifiable is the Zionist project, the term anti-semitism may very well be appropriate. - P*D | |

In Wyoming: "Any person who fails to close a fence is subject to a fine of up to seven hundred and fifty dollars." Well, yeah. Try losing livestock a few times because of this sort of carelessness and this doesn't seem so dumb. Also for Wyoming: "Skiing under the influence of alcohol is prohibited." What is so dumb about that? In Oklahoma: "Residents are taxed for the furniture in their homes, and any other personal belongings." Say what? I've never paid or even heard of such a tax or: "It's statutory rape for a man over 18 to have sex with a female under the age of 18, provided she's a virgin." Nonsense. Regardless of the state of her "purity" you will be prosecuted for this one. They don't cut much slack here as can be seen from this one: "It is illegal to have the hind legs of farm animals in your boots." |
