Could you give some examples? I wouldn't like a government with no laws but some laws don't use any logic.. anyways, discuss.

Replies Moridin Posted at 4:45 pm on July 11, 2009 Absolutely yes. Take any laws regarding taxation for an example. Aimforthehead Posted at 8:57 pm on July 9, 2009 I try not to look at the world as 'us and them'. But yes, there are some people who enjoy controlling others. Which is sad, because, they didn't get to that point themselves. It was helped by everyone, essentially.

Dexter Ward Posted at 2:05 pm on July 9, 2009 In PA you can't tattoo your face, in GA its illegal for a female to get genital piercings.  There's a law in the works to ban flavored cigarettes in the whole USA.  Until 2003 there were "sodomy" laws which made oral and anal sex illegal. aejae Posted at 2:04 pm on July 9, 2009 yesh Baron Samedi Posted at 2:04 pm on July 9, 2009 No, of course not.  Government?  Attempting to control the lives of citizens?  Crazy talk.
