Top 10 Things that are Surprisingly Legal in the United States

The Top Ten
Having sex with animals (13 states)

That is absolutely disgusting. The monsters who legalized this will hopefully go to hell when they die.

Disgusting. Whoever thought about legalizing this should go back to hell.

So what's next? Humans marrying animals?

Women being topless in public (all states except Utah, Indiana, and Tennessee)

Um, ew. I don't even like seeing men with their shirts off. I really don't like seeing nudity or partial nudity because it shows too much skin (that goes for everybody, regardless of weight). I am rather modest, and I don't even wear crop tops, really short shorts, or bikinis (I hate bikinis).

Update: Ok, I actually wear crop tops sometimes.

It is absolutely sexist that women are not allowed to be topless but men are. If anything, it is actually better that women are allowed to be topless in most states. The last few states need to allow women to be topless so that all states will finally have gender equality.

Marrying your cousin (26 states)

Reply @jmepa1234: "What is wrong with marrying a cousin?"

Children of cousin marriages have a doubled risk of genetic disorders because bad genes running in the family become stronger and cause more health problems (and many other things).

That reminds me of a joke Gabriel Iglesias once made about rednecks taking their sister out on Thursday. No offense.

Do people want legal and moral complications, along with the possibility of genetic disorders?

Drinking and driving (Mississippi)

Here's one reason why I never plan on visiting Mississippi.

This is definitely worse than women being topless in public.

Drinking and driving at the same time can cause incidents.

Children getting drunk with parents in their home (Massachusetts)

Unlike in Europe, where little kids can be served alcohol and get drunk in public restaurants.

Now this is absurd. I don't plan on getting drunk anyway. I don't see the fun in it.

I'm from Boston, and I've never heard of this.

Firing a missile (South Carolina)

I was kinda expecting abortion to be here. Not that I want to destroy abortion, but I thought a lot of other people here would. Glad to see missile violence is number 1.

Well, if anyone ever invades South Carolina, they're in for a nightmare, especially if they don't want to kill civilians.

This is actually legal in South Carolina?! I'm glad I live in North Carolina.

Texting while driving (West Virginia)

I would hope people are smart enough to avoid doing that.

Smoking marijuana (23 states)

Thank Arceus that it's still illegal in my state (Virginia) though.

For heaven's sake, this is awesome yet so sad for my country.

Marijuana should only be legal if you have a medical need.

Serving roadkill as a meal (all states except Texas, California, and Washington)

I couldn't imagine eating roadkill! It would be dirty from the road, and there would be countless germs.

This is really weird! Why would anyone want to eat roadkill?

Dang it, I'm from California.

I was going to have them serve roadkill at my wedding.

Owning a flamethrower (all but 10 states)

It may seem pretty badass, but remember that some people may use it to kill others or burn things down. I definitely wouldn't feel comfortable living next to someone who owns a flamethrower.

This isn't bad. This is badass. Of course, if you kill anyone with it (other than in an act of self-defense), you'll be arrested on the same charges as if you had killed in any other way.

Registration required. A friend told me after he made a working one, with video evidence.

The Newcomers

? Owning a tank and driving it (disarmed) on the road (all states)
? Concealed carrying on college campuses (Georgia)
The Contenders
Owning a brown bear (9 states)

Honestly, the most reasonable entry on this list. When my fourth-grade teacher lived in New Mexico, one of his neighbors had a pet wolf. Not quite the same, but still a wild animal living in your house, which is just AWESOME as long as it isn't dangerous.

This is my live teddy bear. He won't bite unless you get anywhere near him.

I prefer to keep them in the zoo, not in my home.

18-year-olds having sex (all states)

They even have kids younger than that having sex. This has always been a problem. I mean, I can somewhat understand it considering how sexual urges in young people start before 18, but this is still a serious problem and should not be legal.

It's not weird. I mean, it is the legal age when you become an adult.

It's a problem when kids do this. However, 18 might seem too young for some.

Cannibalism (all states)

Consuming human flesh is legal in all 50 states. It's just very difficult to obtain a fresh supply of "people-meat" without doing something illegal. Thank God!

It's actually only legal as long as you didn't kill the person.

Prostitution (all of Nevada except Clark, Douglas, Eureka, Lincoln, Pershing, and Washoe counties)
Gay marriage (all states)

Having to put up with such homophobic people on this website is so tedious. Why can't people just accept that gay marriage is legal instead of saying, "Nah nah, it should be illegal!"

This isn't surprising. Marriage should be legal for everyone. I don't want to get married myself, but I think everyone should have the right to marry.

Why do we treat gays like they're different from us? We're all the same when you look a little closer!

Engaging in hate speech (all states)

There's a difference between free speech and radicalism, and far too many people cross that line.

Getting an abortion (all states)

Warning: If you can't handle an opinion, don't read.

I do NOT think abortion should be legal. It is awful, and the way they do it is disgusting. By US law, the taking of a heartbeat is murder. Why should it matter if they are a fetus or a baby?

I was devastated when I learned what abortion was. I'm sure I'm not the only one who wants to restrict it to life-or-death situations.

Smoking (50 states)

Smoking shouldn't be legal anyway. Do most people even realize what the result can be? It can cause lung cancer, and it's very unhealthy. Sorry if I offended smokers, but it's true.

Peyote needs to be legalized next. And prostitution. It's no big deal.

Being a member of the American Nazi Party (all states)
Burning the regional flag (34 states)
Owning a kangaroo (13 states)

Am I the only one who thinks that sounds totally awesome? As long as you don't mess with one, because if you do, you'd regret it.

Furthermore, in 3 of those 13 states - Wisconsin, West Virginia, and South Carolina - you don't even need a permit to own one.

Using racial slurs (all states)

As much as I hate slurs, freedom of speech. I'm sorry, but if burning the US flag is legal because it is "a symbolic form of speech," then slurs should be as well. Not saying I agree with it, though.

Having a firearm (all states)

Yeah, this is partly why the U.S. is a mess right now. You can just go to a corner store and buy one, no questions asked. Then thousands of people promptly kill others. Such a dumb law.
