This topic of the title makes it <I>seem</I> more like an anti-USA laws thread.

On that topic, I dislike the fact that the drinking age is enforced by the law, as opposed to the parents, who are the guardians of the child.

Also, medical marijuana is illegal under federal law, which is proven to help cancer patients cope with their condition, and helps with other diseases such as graft versus host disease.

My citation is the national geographic channel. I don't do good with official citations.

Also, there's the same-sex "marriage" laws (aka civil unions in most people's eyes)

People think some of the laws regarding abortions are stupid.

Of course, stupid is relative, and if I were to give my opinion on these topics more, I will probably start (if I haven't already) some uncivilized (as uncivilized as one can get on a forum, of course) debating.

On the topic of this thread, I believe I saw that silly string was banned from one certain state. I'm not sure if that's true, and even what state it is for that matter.

There is a law in New Jeresy that it's illeagle to ride a unicycle in church. Now I'm just a humble man, but you know, at some point in time, some jack*ss kept insisting on riding his unicycle to church and someone went "we have to put a stop to this."

Serious loophole here!

In Dayton, Virginia
A person of color may not be oustide or within the city limits after 7 pm

Doesn't this mean that after 7pm, all black people in the world(it's a law of the city, not the state) have to be in dayton?
