I read in the Greek news today that this act is illegal because... you will then have to be buried with funds from the state...
that means that by dying in the HoP, the state has to pay for you funeral expenses... (which is of course very costly for a country like UK...) but if you die just outside the HoP territory, it's ok... that's why when someone is feeling unwell or faints, he is dragged outside...

I think any law to protect people from their own stupidity should be removed. If you aren't smart enough to wear a seat belt, then maybe that's just natural selection at work.

Pot is a gateway drug. It is a gateway to serious abuse of Cheetos and Bugs Bunny cartoons.

I can understand your anger at me, but what did the horse I rode in on ever do to you?

hahahha... they don't f**k around there with law and order...somehow I don't think that is one of these silly laws. I bet they would do that
|
That law, as many listed there are one of the most stupid things I've heard (well, read). Seems like when masturbating, you're killing the 'little friend'. |
So it is illegal to kill your 'little friend' because that 'little friend' could have become a baby? Well by killing you, they're killing a lot more 'little friends'....
|
ummm in that case if you dont have sex at evry chance you get you are wasting a ton of potential little friends they should have a "no waisting little friends" law |
They should have a law there that you must have sex at all times. Now that's a law I could get behind.

I remember that. I'm just glad I don't live in
Virginia. I do that at least once a week, and I'm not nearly as
sympathetic as a mother of three. Seriously, I've often had the
urge to do stuff like that to people who act like morons on the
road. The driver who cut her off should have been the one to do
jail time. I drive an old and busted p.o.s. and have been tempted
on more than a few occasions when faced with an a..hole driver, simply
to hit him. |
I know exactly what you mean hahhahah . I drive a company vehicle... it ain't mine brother  They really do drive like fools around here.
