Let me go get the official details of this phecking stupid act.

one moment please.

the one where you cant end a terminally ill family member's pain and suffering

The Youth Offenders Act recognized that young persons were not adults and that they should not "be held accountable in the same manner or suffer the same consequences ¦ as adults".

That sums it up nicely.... what is bull ***** about this is our courts are pregnant with trials, our police and RCMP are over worked and understaffed with more crime sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

This act is a farce and because the "youth" are protected, they are often just swept under the carpet. And let go. Kids all over this country cry foul when being diciplined and pull out the "you can't touch me because the YOA protects me" card.

In the UK, almost all made since approximately 1971. The myriad remaining I would enforce with great gusto!

Thanks Minks, for explaining that one. I can see where that would be a real problem and quite bogus to boot.

Or the one that entitles you to shoot Welsh people from castle battlements with a longbow after 10 pm. After all, Ioan Gruffudd's from Wales!:D


I agree. I'd also add the one about people being allowed to take their flock of sheep across London Bridge on a Sunday if they have the Key to the City. I think everyone should be allowed to drive their flocks across, regardless of keys.

I agree with all the other laws mentioned above. Good points guys.

The one making it legal for a cabbie to pee in the street as long as it's over the back wheel of his cab?

Or the one allowing a pregnant lady to use a copper's helmit as a pisspot?

I'd change the U.S. law that you can legally die for you country when you're 18, but you can't have a damn drink in your own country until your 21.
