driving a vehicle.

Re: World's 25 dumbest laws
How do you conceal a weapon that is probably longer than you are tall?
Some of those laws date way back, but some of them are very recent, like the redneck laws of the southern states.

LOL I think as a matter of marketing to be named Mary is good if you're a prostitute, the business would improve. :)

Re: World's 25 dumbest laws
fukin old fashion case of "We the black people are always the victims!!!" rightt??
at least in the states.. i don't think black people around the world have this same kind of mentality.. Matter fact I've heard that blacks in Europe are more cultured and get along with the whites wonderfully.
Racism isn't even an issue over there as I've heard

Racism ins't an issue in the United States? Of course is not, slavery didn't exist either and blacks are tha majority, and they have the best houses and they are very well educated.
I don't even think there are blacks in the united states any more, that used to be years ago, but today I think they were swept under a rug.
Albo what kind of stuff are you in?
In a serious note, in the USA if you put an add on the newspaper, about renting an apartment, and if the note say not dogs or minorities allowed,
the lawsuit is going to be huge, but today in some places in Europe, that it is still allowed.

I read newspapers from europe and in Spain a few months ago,a gipsy coulnd't get an apartment, some signs read not dogs or gipsies allowed.
It is sad but it still happens and in the old continent where you can't say nothing positive about Hitler ( there is nothing positive to say about him anyway) You can discriminate against minorities and get away with it.

Re: World's 25 dumbest laws
why would a gypsy be renting an apartment anyway?
-
Re: World's 25 dumbest laws
The gypos can just dress like normal people for the day and not steal anything when they view the aparment, problem solved. The dogs have fuck all chance of renting an apartment.
-
Re: World's 25 dumbest laws
like gypo's could go a day without stealing stuff from stately homes.

Gypsy != irish, mong.
And Massachusetts doesn't have many actual irish people in it, for that matter.
The rest is just stupid.

that's not necessarily true... keep in mind most european countries had overseas colonies and there's still much of that long time hatred in the colonized ones mentalities.

Re: World's 25 dumbest laws
And this thread is kind of shit, too. Hasn't there been at least one more just like it, already?
Like this board needs more copying and pasting.

Were the people who are discriminating there (as you put it) born in Ireland? I very much doubt it. In which case, they're not Irish. They're American. This makes it more a matter for your country, not mine.
Also, I've travelled extensively in Europe. Worked there and lived there in many different countries. I've yet to come across one of those signs.
Are you really this stupid or are you just being a racist troll?
I can't decide.
