Two very old laws in PR:
Flying kites at the Morro was illegal and you could go to jail.

These were when PR was ruled by the military...

" In New Jersey you go to jail for slurping your soup too loud in a restaurant. "are you kidding me? that is one stupid a$$ law that needs to get revamped
here in Canada, it's up to the Police and the Crown whether you get charged for a crime rather than so called VICTIMS and even if you commit a murder which is the highest form of crime that you can commit you only get life in prison which means you are out of prison in pretty much 15 years or less, get the irony? there is no life sentences here no matter high the degree of the crime that you commit
" In New Jersey you go to jail for slurping your soup too loud in a restaurant. "

" @Ego said:except in vegas... go figure!" prostitution is illegal, yet professional escorting isn't. "I thought prostitution was/is legal in Nevada? "

" your 21 years old to drink is insane but in Ireland a law was recently passed that blasphemy was illegal but its not enforced cos everyone swears "Is all swearing blasphemy or is blasphemy some thing that'd be insulting to god or questioning the existance of god?
If that is a real law I'm embarressed to be Irish.

I think in 2010 religion should have no place in the forming of laws.
Isn't that what the taliban do?
nah, the taliban even go against their own creeds
Islam is 'peaceful religion' ,about as peaceful as Christianity and Judaism
religion dictates everything, unfortunately
look at America and its education (in areas) having to teach bullsh!t like creationism
yup, the our life in prison is capped at 25 yrs only and most of them are out in 15 yrs with adjusted behaviours, the judicial system in Canada is way too light which is the one of the reason why so many immigrants come here for better and good, i've been to maximum prisons and the funny thing is almost half of them have illegally entered to Canada from the states, now i'm not speaking for all the prisons but just the one that i've visited
" @Gylan Thomas: it came into effect on jan1st nah, the taliban even go against their own creeds Islam is 'peaceful religion' ,about as peaceful as Christianity and Judaism religion dictates everything, unfortunately look at America and its education (in areas) having to teach bullsh!t like creationism "We shouldn't have to accept it though.
A lawa gainst blasphemy in 2010 just seems ridiculous to me.
What if some one practices a different religion than the norm? Or just flat out doesn't believe?
" @Gylan Thomas: it came into effect on jan1st nah, the taliban even go against their own creeds Islam is 'peaceful religion' ,about as peaceful as Christianity and Judaism religion dictates everything, unfortunately look at America and its education (in areas) having to teach bullsh!t like creationism "I mean seriously. How far will that kindof thing go?
Will use of contraception be made illegal?
Breakin' commandments?
When laws become based on religion they's too much room for interpretation. It''s very dnagerous ground.
Did any one try to protest the no blasphemy law?
I heard about someone who got 3 months in prison for stealing a bag of lay's out of the back of a delivery truck. Kind of ridiculous imo.
