Name something that is banned these days. (As the Burkini by the French on the Mediterranean coast.)

Is there anything that is banned where you live that you think is ridiculous?

    @Element, In France all women go swimming topless. But Muslim women have a head covering and bathing suit that looks like a warm up suit. That's called a Burkini.

    Yes, there are nude beaches in France, but that dont mean that All French women bathe topless.

    You could say that it is about as common as Muslim women wearing a burkini to bathe. Most do not ;-))

    Street musicians (it' more of a bi law thing) but I think there would be no harm having a bit of music in the streets. Cheers!

    One of my Friends spent a month in France one summer. She stayed with a French family, since her friend was from there. She said everyone, including the grandmothers ran around the beach topless. She didn't but felt out of place. The French are very not inhibited! So why are they so picky about wearing more clothes to the beach? It's ridiculous!

  • I live in New Hampshire.

    One of the most rediculous things we ban is sleeping overnight in a boat.

    The intent was to prevent people from "spoiling" the pristine habitats of the rich who own waterfront property.

    Asking any question about the holocaust. Any question at all is a social crime. In some countries it is a felony.

    Where I live it against the law to kill a camel. This is how Zonies feel about camels.

    Zonies = Arizona residents
