I just recetly read or heard something about people the people in southern California passing an act saying that you can't call yourself a pet "owner" because pets are individuals also and cannot be "owned"
Pretty stupid... I own or have a pet dog myself (an akita)http://www.tgeweb.com/cgi-bin/ubb/no...es/biggrin.gif

You guys know any other stupid laws out there???

That's just my opinion, I could be wrong.

That sounds like a bunch of PC crap to me. http://www.tgeweb.com/cgi-bin/ubb/no.../angryfire.gif

And, yes, I know of a stupid law here in Texas...that you can be arrested for carrying a pair of wire cutters on your person. Hello? Like what do we networkers use then when we're cabling Twisted Pair? It's a ridiculous law left over from the 19th century and the cattle rustling days, when thieves used to cut through barbed wire fences. Now it's ridiculous.

Evil often is no more than a once great Good that has totally outlived its usefulness.

if you look at it in the way that if no one took the responsebility to take care of (own) a pet they probably would be executed by the breeder sooner or later...

I heard that in Germany a pillow is considered a weapon. I've also heard that in London you can piss(picture aid http://cwm.ragesofsanity.com/cwm/cwm/piss2.gif ) any place you want as long as you have your foot on the tire of you car. (I don't think that one is true though)

Not exactly a law, but about law being an ass:

A car thief who got caught and jailed, sucessfully sued the car owner and got possession of the car. Crazy.

Sorry my dog-friend drapped all over your lawn and dug up your garden, but I can't be held responsible. I don't "own" him as he is an individual with his own life. Unfortunately the dog has no money to repay you. Gee, that's tough luck.

I suppose that's more California logic for you. It lines right up there with deciding not to build any power facilities for 10 years and wonder why there are blackouts.

not really sure... but i heard some american teenager was chewing gum or something in korea and got busted. I guess they figure that the guy is eventually going to spit it in the streets.

Gum is illegal there or something. they want to keep the place clean.

That's just my opinion, I could be wrong.

I'm sure that you've heard this onehttp://www.tgeweb.com/cgi-bin/ubb/no...es/biggrin.gif

A guy got PROSECUTED for eat a KIT-KAT when he was driving. They said that he did not have two hands on the steering wheel so he was a liability and a unsafe driver (and this was at a traffic light as well!http://www.tgeweb.com/cgi-bin/ubb/no...miles/hihi.gif )

He then denied the charge and said how stupid the court was - everyone has a snack in their car sometimes don't they?

The court then took away his driving license for (I think) two years.

Sure.........I'll give some cash to the budgie and start telling it to do my homework and occasional shopping, whilst I sit in an extra large cage getting fed nuts and pecking at a silly round mirror.

Where I live it's illegal, when downtown, to tie your horse up any where other than a hitching post. This was passed by the city council in 1890 somthing. Never been taken of the books. Needless to say, not many tickets get written
for this particular violation.

Does anyone remember the little old lady that got a ticket for putting money in other peoples parking meters when they were about to run out or had run out? That happened in the midwest somewhere, I think.

What about the man in Michigan that got in trouble with the law for cussing as he fell out of his boat into the water.

There was another one about a sixteen or seventeen year old boy that was tried and convicted of statutory rape, after he got his fifteen year old girlfriend
pregnent. He was arrested when they applied for a marriage license. Not saying what he did was right, but at least he was trying to do the "right" thing.

Some laws are nonsense and others are not enfored with comman sense. That's my two cents worth any way.
