In i think virginia it's illegal to walk your goats against traffic. Fucking bull. >:/
Hinestly though, all of them. Purge is a fantastic idea, I'd live for a day when I can dash into the streets and just hack people to bits. :)

Laws on drugs in America, where I live.
If the US government can salestax things like alcohol and cigarettes, which can be just as bad or worse than drugs, then that's stupid. The US needs to treat weed, cocaine, and heroine etc, all as alcohol in cigarettes.
Drugs are drugs. People obtain them, sell them, travel with them, and abuse them on a daily basis. Laws are not getting in their way, nor is it stopping drug abuse. Instead of wasting money by trying to stop it, let businesses sell drugs and just tax them, just like cigarettes or alcohol. People will be given the free right to buy and use drugs, the government will make boatloads of money in drug taxes, and everyone will be happy. It's the correct and democratic thing to do. It strengthens the economy, and would allow people freedom to do what they want.

The governments reasoning to not do this is that OD's would drastically increase, but this is not the case. All they need to do is put an insane tax on the sale of heroin and other drugs and that will prevent people from purchasing them; it's the reason marijuana isn't as big as it could be right now.

Yeah exactly my point. The government could make tons of money off of people who are addicted, and while that's fucked up, it's EXACTLY what they are doing to alcoholics and those addicted to cigarettes. So why not take it to the next level? Cigarettes give you cancer, often a slow painful death of lung cancer, and alcohol gives you alcohol poisoning/liver failure.

In some areas, you are not allowed to jay walk.
I think it's stupid.

Yes, this is another idiotic law. One that nobody listens to anyways, because people don't have the time to get all the way over to a street light to cross, and then come all the way back.

Lol, i remember a NYC cop arrested a guy for jaywalking and the entire fucking city went up in arms. It's a part of life, it'd be crazy waiting for a sidewalk. However on the west coast and in Boston nobody ever jaywalks because it just isn't accepted. (and the drivers are idiots :3)

My least favorite law is the one where you can't rob people, because if I wanna rob a rich person then I should be allowed too >:c

I see both sides of the spectrum here just like you do, we both agree it is in fact completely morally f***ed up to do a thing like this.. BUT we have to realize a world we live in today it is about money NOT ones health. In fact if everything our government and society did was geared towards well being, health, and longevity of life then think how massively over populated we would be here in the states alone. Lets not mention the rest of the world's population, so in that i do understand what you are saying as far as "people are going to obtain and use regardless" that goes along with if a heroin user is going to use then you might as well give him a clean needle so he doesn't get aids or hep. Yes its wrong to condone the usage of hard drugs BUT if they are going to use anyway then make profit from it.
