Question

aside from sexuality and abortion, what laws of today do you find to be unjust?

i just didnt want to hear any opinions on those two subjects, thats all

Answer 1

Gun control guns are more than unfair. They are unconstitutional.

Answer 2

So why not obay these laws. Some would be kind of fun though.

A fine of $25 can be levied for flirting. This old law specifically prohibits men from turning around on any city street and looking "at a woman in that way." A second conviction for a crime of this magnitude calls for the violating male to be forced to wear a "pair of horse-blinders" wherever and whenever he goes outside for a stroll.


A person may not walk around on Sundays with an ice cream cone in his/her pocket.


While riding in an elevator, one must talk to no one, and fold his hands while looking toward the door.


A license must be purchased before hanging clothes on a clothesline.


It is against the law to throw a ball at someone's head for fun.


Carmel
A man can't go outside while wearing a jacket and pants that do not match.


Greene
During a concert, it is illegal to eat peanuts and walk backwards on the sidewalks.


New York
You may not smoke within 100 feet of the entrance to a public building.


Citizens may not greet each other by "putting one's thumb to the nose and wiggling the fingers".


Women may go topless in public, providing it is not being used as a business.


It is illegal for a woman to be on the street wearing "body hugging clothing."


Ocean City
It is illegal for men to go topless in the center of town.


It is illegal to eat in the street in residential neighborhoods, and the only beverage you can drink on the beach is water in a clear plastic bottle.


Staten Island
It is illegal for a father to call his son a "******" or "queer" in an effort to curb "girlie behavior."


You may only water your lawn if the hose is held in your hand.

Answer 3

Well, I don't find any laws particularly unjust, save perhaps insurance law, since decisions are often at odds with each other, and often, the injured party is stripped of their chance to collect money from the liable party.

Answer 4

I agree.

Gun control laws are unconstitutional to the extent that they don't require owners to be part of "a well regulated militia" as specified in the 2nd Amendment.

How hard could it be to be part of a well-regulated militia anyway? Can't be much harder then being part of a well run softball league for legal purposes, but still...

I'm just sayin'...

More seriously, our intellectual property terms, regarding copyright are immensely out of whack with reality.

Answer 5

Unjust laws are laws you don't like.

And that is going to be very dependent on your beliefs.

But it basically boils down to two categories -- liberals complain that the govt imposes too many restrictions -- conservatives complain that the govt allows too many freedoms.

Answer 6

You haven't explained what you mean when you say that current laws about sexuality are unjust.

I think that all minimum wage laws are economically foolish. I think that the too many states are going to hold their presidential caucuses and primaries too early.

I also think that the 14th Amendment needs to be repealed and replaced.
