    Nothing wrong with a bit of drinking in public.
    I will continue to defy this law.

    Any law that prevents me from doing whatever the hell I want as long as it doesn't impinge on the rights of others.

    I think small quantities of locally grown weed should be legal under certain circumstances. It would help illness and create jobs.

    Godwin's.

    But; Actually read what Godwin himself has to say about it?

    He, basically, reckons the internet is a cnut. It's twisted his own, original point to the point of FUBAR.

    “In Norway, for instance, it is illegal for a barman to serve you a fresh drink until you have finished the previous one. Does that sound to you like a matter that needs to be covered by legislation? It is also illegal in Norway for a bakery to bake bread on a Saturday or Sunday. Well, thank God for that, say I. Think of the consequences if some ruthless Norwegian baker tried to foist fresh bread on people at the weekend. But the most preposterous law of all, a law so pointless as to scamper along the outer margins of the surreal, is the Swedish one that requires motorists to drive with their headlights on during the daytime, even on the sunniest summer afternoon. ”

    There we go.

    A belief in gender identity involves a level of faith as there is nothing tangible to prove its existence which, as something divorced from the physical body, is similar to the idea of a soul. - Colette Colfer

    Apart from Ireland's ludicrous 10pm gargle shop laws, I recently discovered its "illegal" to keep a goldfish in Switzerland, in solitary confinement.

    The fcuk?

    What other laws are stupid?

    Go for it.

    How is it stupid to dump a social animal into a container of 4l of water when it needs closer to 30l?

    Because you don't understand doesn't make it stupid.
