The Ridicule Of The World

The law is in effect in order to keep and maintain peace among its inhabitants. However you sometimes can't seem to wonder what on earth was going in the minds of these lawmakers when you see such imposing laws that make no sense what so ever.

One of the common types of mind boggling laws are ones that contradict each other. In many states across the United States, it is illegal to carry a concealed weapon when drunk which is completely understandable considering that it has been proven that alcohol can impair a person's judgment. However in the state of Tennessee, the state legislatures believed that the 2nd amendment is more important than the safety of its citizens. By overturning the decision of the Governor, the state legislatures have decided to make it legal to its citizens that it is fine for people to bring in a concealed weapon into a bar. Now it may be just me, but I'm pretty sure that this is a recipe for a disaster just waiting to happen. I guess they never heard of Murphy's Law before.

Another type of law that is completely ...
... ridiculous are the ones that are still written in the books before the civil movements and women's suffrage. One such example is a law in Minnesota that states that Dakota Indians are banished from within the state lines. Luckily, the people who enforce this law completely ignore it (or shall we hope they do) because if they didn't the press would have a field day as well as our government's legal system getting involved which would end up wasting a lot of time and money for something that is so obvious. On the defense of the lawmakers in Minnesota, they are trying to remove this obscene law from its records, but it's still a wonder why such a law wasn't removed sooner. And this doesn't isolate to just one state. There are similar laws all across the United States that are just as well ridiculous to have still exist.

By now you should have heard of Engrish before and if not it is basically people of other nations trying to use English in their slogans or signs but have completely failed to pass basic spelling and grammar. Well, before you start ridiculing them we should start by fixing our own mistakes first. Even though our nation's official language is English, a vast number of our citizens are not well educated in the English language. Case in point are those innocent signs that are posted all across our nation. A common types of these is a sign that informs a pet owner, usually dog owners, that a pet can only be taken into public if it is leashed. However with wording such as "No dog shall be in a public place without its master on a leash" it makes you wonder just who wrote this.

There are thousands and thousands of laws just like the ones I have mentioned in this article. Each and every one of these types of laws can tell you why our nation is ridiculed by others and how they see us as a "sue-happy" country. I mean, our citizens have sued each other for the most ridiculous claims that has made us the ridicule of the world.
