Hey there!
I think it’s just necessary to say that such laws no longer exist. It’s not a good thing that such websites make people think bad about our country. Why there isn’t “Laws of the past” category? That would be very convenient and interesting to read.

I agree with Nataly, it would definately end a lot of the arguing. All of the laws on this site are real, its just that many of them no longer exist or are no longer enforced. For example, in my country New Zealand if we find any uranium we must report it to the government. This law doest seem strange unless u know that New Zealand is in fact a nuclear-free country. This is an old law, just like many laws on this site.

I can sort of understand this during the Cold War. Look at how anti-communist the US was; I could see maybe Russia linking English to the United States/Capitalism.

Sorry. Я не имею права написать более 4 слов на английском. Поэтому вам придётся изучать русский язык или воспользоваться услугами переводчика.

Я думаю, что это – глупый закон. Если бы я должен сказать вещи на русском языке все время тогда, который был бы действительно развлечением. плюс разговор на русском языке – действительно развлечение, таким образом я мог жить с этим

no, seriously, calm down, russians, i’m australian and almost all the “laws” from australia are bullshit, or they were gotten rid off ages ago. I think its hilarious that people will now assume that I feed kangaroos 4 to 5 bottles of beer, but never more than six, and get arrested for wearing “sexy pink pants” on sunday. and what about poor scotland? now everyone will think it’s illiegal for them to wear underpants (LOL)and that they are only allowed to kill englishmen if it’s “enjoyable”. …unless any of these laws actuallydo exist, which would be disturbing.

Some of the United States laws are also off the books and some of them require you to look at the background. When you look at the background,you discover the laws are initially worded such that you would think something is strange when it is not.

I’m sorry, but I’m from America, and I’m offended by others bashing innocent citizens from Russia, calling them Communist bastards and whatnot. Yes, our two countries have had rough times with one another, and the relationships with our people are still quite tense. But the last I knew, Russia was officially a Democracy. So please, my fellow American people, stop pointlessly insulting other citizens of countries solely because they are from that country. Communism was in the past, and there’s nothing we can do to change that. They didn’t chose to be born there, just as you did not chose to be born where you were. Your comments just further prove the stereotype of Americans being ignorant bastards. I, for one, don’t want to be included in said stereotype simply because immature Americans with no respect for others have hateful things to say. You may argue with me, and resent what I have to say, but just remember: that only proves my point of you all being immature. Have a nice day.

Wow, such an endless discussion. I’m from Russia and I’m proud of my country, we are great and have a long history, and I can’t understand your, dear Americans, attitude. Who are you to blame us? Look at your own history(it’s easy, not so long), you had hard and beast times too. You are full of stereotypes, i won’t be surprised if you think that people in Russia play with bears in the streets etc.

Hi there,
I’m russian lawer. I’d like to say that we don’t have laws against English language or against people from the “West Side”. How is it possible in democratic country? Helloooo!!! We have been having democracy for 20 years. Constitution of Russian Federation was adopted at 12 December 1993 and democratic regime was established. Also, we are not a common law country like the USA or the UK. Do you know what does it means? If not, please don’t argue with me. Like a lawyer I respect an American legal system for some reasons.
About communism. You don’t like it, but you like a products from China. I have a surprise for you, China is most strongest communistic country in the World. As you guess there is no connections between general welfare and the political regime. Major thing is economic system in country.
Please delete information about russian law because false. We don’t have stupid laws like you said above (only stupid politicians). We are young democracy and our legal system based on contemporary European law.
I apologise for my English.
