Top 10 Worst Laws and Policies Around the World
Laws are needed in every nation to protect the rights of every citizen living there. But sometimes, they go too far. So, this is a list of the worst laws and policies that exists or used to exist in some parts of our world. Vote for the law that you don't approve of. Thank you.
Could they go out of town to do it the first time?
I wouldn't even have sex if I lived there.
Um... that would be awkward
Now that's just creepy
Yes. There was a time when chewing gum was banned in Singapore because apparently it could lead to "mischief-making" like "putting chewing gum on our subway train doors so that they don't open." A single piece of gum could land you a fine of $1000. Do it a second time and you'll owe the state $2000. A third time means you'll be forced into hard labor, cleaning the streets while wearing a sign that says "I'm a litterer." It's a shame, because chewing gum can actually be a great way to activate your metabolism.
I would not live in Singapore.
Thankfully this law finally repealed in June 2018 after many protests and petitions from various women's rights organizations in there.
It's surprising that they were still backwarded well into the 2010s.
If I was forced to get married I would live here because my birthdays are so underrated and I don't enough birthday recognitions.
Yikes, going to a prison just because forgetting your wife's birthday?
I suspect it's just polynesian culture. Not the worst really at all, however it's a bit odd if I do say so myself
And forgetting your husband's is not?
It's true. Merchandises based on the cartoon character "Winnie The Pooh" are banned specifically in the area of Tuszyn, Poland. Why? Because that character has been labelled as an "Inappropriate hermaphrodite" as it doesn't wear pants and has non-gender-specific genitalia. Jeez...SJWs are also starting to poison in Poland as well...
How is Winnie the Pooh inappropriate just because he doesn't wear pants, He's an animal.
Budapest has a street named after Winnie the Pooh.
Psychopaths Ethically Terminating Animals has taken it way too far
How about lions? Or gorillas? Or dolphins?
And I was beginning to like the place.
Really? I'll have to get a xenomorph...
For the record, this law is only applicable to the capital city in Iceland named Reykjavik
At the lake Balaton, a lot of people feed the ducks inappropriate things like bread and biscuits.
Not only is it illegal to feed the animals some refer to as "the rats of the sky," but San Francisco even created an entire webpage highlighting the "dozens" of reasons why. (Hint: So. Much. Poop.)
What's the punishment? Going to jail lol? Also what if you dropped some food accidentally and they eat it? Is that still breaking the law?
I wonder if Shane Dawson and his cat were in Washington when he had his "time" with the cat.
"1787"
The state of Washington wasn't even founded until 1889 though, It even says on the picture.
Wait till the cats in Washington start a #MeToo movement of their own...
Why would you do this in the first place?
Uh this was an absolutely stupid idea but it's not really a law "around the world" given the other entrees on this list.
