Seems they're passed a law in Middleborough MA that fines you $20 for swearing.
So if I go there and wear a T-shirt that says "Fuck Middleborough" which I feel like doing right now, would I be fined I wonder ?

I'm not saying I condone swearing in public but isn't this kinda against the "land of the free" mentality, the "greatest country in the world" myth...sounds more like the "land of the free to watch yer mouth" to me....what a dumb law.

It's only likely to encourage people to swear, I think.

But, again, it's like all so-called political correctness -- none of it would be necessary if people showed consideration for others. Many don't. Many like upsetting and causing serious offence because they are themselves damaged and insecure. That's why totally free speech is impossible because there will always be victims.

Now that is funny. :lol:

Basically each state is its own odd little animal, and sometimes even individual cities come up with kooky stuff like this. :lol: Its kind of an odd situation isn't it?

Well here in Washington State The harassing of Bigfoot, Sasquatch or other undiscovered subspecies is a felony punishable by a fine and/or imprisonment. :shock:

I just found this one, and I think it might be the most crazy of all:

It is illegal to entice girls away from the Maple Lane School for girls.

Is this because neighbouring schools were luring away all of Maple Lane's best pupils?

It just pisses me off, I can't help it.

I mean can't we agree as adults that there's a time and a place and stick to it more or less without making it some kind of law, is that not achievable ? is it too far out of our reach ?? or are we just that fucked up that it needs to be an actual law? :evil:

Obviously it's only fitting that in the (now get this) "Land of the FREE" that good manners be legistated into law.

Fuck me, what's next a penalty for not eating enough apple pie,
the printed shirt, what kind of logo's, phrases hit the moral bullseye ????

Funny and ironic that they blame Obama for taking away their fake fucking freedoms (they imagine they have )....."we're taking our country back"...well that's a fucking laugh.

Then they turn the gun against themselves, it makes no sense to me what so ever....ok, sorry for the rant but stupidity is a rife disease ....

ok, all together " oh say can you see......."

And rightly so. The sign of a poor fucking vocabulary in my book.
