Cock fighting or If I beat my wife with a chicken and the chicken lives will i get in trouble?

our wonderful state representitives here in South Carolina voted on a bill making cock fighting(raising roosters for the sole perpose of fighting each other which usually includes gambling on the winner) a felony with a minimum of four years in prison. at the same session they turned down a bill making Domestic violence a felony. As of right now the third offense of domestic violence has a maximum penalty of 90 days in jail. the rep. from charleston got on the local news and called the reporter(female) \"an idiot\" for not understanding this. then he got on the national news, which some of you may have seen, and stopped just short of calling that reporter the same thing. what the hell is going on in my home state? rumor has it that a christian group has plans of mass migrating to our state and succeeding from the nation. they can frickin have this state. :flame:

Oye vey!!! I can drink a fifth of JD, get in my car and run over a whole gaggle of little kiddies, and be out of the clink before the awful chicken wrangler. Some of the laws here are just insane. It\'s depressing. :mad:

Oh well, another one to be added here:
http://www.dumblaws.com/laws.php?site=laws&cid=184

Is this really because of religious (well, they way some of them interpret it anyway) fanatism? Or is the guy simply crazy?
Oh, should THOSE Christians move in, feel free to come to the Netherlands. Going from some reports I saw they consider our country to be full of modern day Sodoms en Gomorra\'s, so it\'s probably the best place to be. :)

Translation from the representatives in question:

\"I don\'t see why you can\'t understand our reluctance to change the law so that we\'ll have to go to jail for the way we beat the snot out of our wives and children. Would you send yourself to jail for what is your God-given right? My wife swore \'to have and to serve\'. If she doesn\'t have my dinner on the table, she\'s gonna get a whuppin\'!\"

Of course, that\'s only speculation, but then, I have an incredibly low opinion of almost all government. Heck, here in Canada, we all but strung up a man for actually keeping his campaign promises.

\"I\'m going to make cuts to health care and education where they are necessary, provided they will not adversly affect the region those facilities are in. This study, done in 1995, shows that there are sixteen hospitals and twelve schools that can be closed without affecting the level of care provided.

Then he did it, and confused everyone in the nation into a massive outrage. A politician that did what he said he\'d do?

OUTRAGEOUS!

after spending most of 26 years in South Carolina and seeing the uneducated, racist, bible thumping, good old boy, peices of crap that call this state home my sense of humor has started to run dry. a lot of the people described are in political offices. Senator Jim DeMint was talking about \"values and education\" when he was running for office and said that single women and gays should not be allowed to teach our children(i guess we should take them all out back and put bullets in their heads?) this guy won by a landslide here. i am one man with one vote and my vote , in this state, doesnt mean crap. i usually try not to rant like this but i need to vent. sorry all.:(

please understand,i dont mean to group all people of religious backgrounds into this rant.

And here I thought the backwards laws in some states were bad enough. I think we\'ve actually passed the bill here in Washington that overturns a law where it was a crime to challenge a woman\'s purity, or some such. So saying \"strumpet\" was a misdemeanor, I think. We here out in the Northwest also have lovely little things that people like to chain their bikes to outside of a lot of buildings. It took a history major friend to point out that those strange looking things weren\'t badly designed bike racks or places to lean while you were smoking, they\'re hitching posts. And by law, they\'re required outside of most state owned buildings, which includes a lot of buildings in the University District.

More on topic, I agree. It\'s totally a shame when glorified poultry have more rights than a living human being.

...maybe I will move to the Netherlands. Got some good fringe theatre companies up there, minimaker? :D

Hey Grizzix!

Come and join us over here in the UK. We seem to be struggling at the opposite end of the spectrum.

Our laws state quite clearly it seems, that you, as a householder, are directly responsible for a burglar\'s health and safety whilst he pillages your property.

If said burglar gets a splinter from your sideboard whilst he is nicking your silver and crystal...he has the right to sue you..

I am sadly not joking (not that much anyway);)

@ finn17 thanks for the invite. we have the same thing going on here. the laws that are created these days seem to be made to protect the criminals.

awww Geez, finn...

Thats been the law here for at least 30 years! If you actually catch a burglar in the act you are not alowed to do anything, becuase if you hurt him, or if he gets hurt while your chasing him it is YOUR fault. The reasoning being that is a human being\'s safety is far more valuable then your personnal property. I was a guest of the local constables (a long time ago) for a few hours one night, and during that time a call came in. It seems that a thief was running out the back door of someone\'s house with a TV and fell into the OPEN cesspool that was being worked on. It was a sixteen year old kid and he drowned in $hit! The cops couldn\'t stop laughing about it. I felt terrible... I mean... it was a perfectly good television!

When I worked at the Home Depot I was taught to never say anything to a child that was doing something dangerous (ie...running, playing on the racks, downing a jug of muriatic acid, etc...) because the kids parents could sue for HURTING THE KIDS FEELINGS!

I could understand about the chicken, though... after all, there is alot of starvation in this world and thats a waste of good meat. Women, on the other hand, are easily replaced. I mean... they\'re only a bar stool and a six pack away (two six packs if they\'re reeeeal ugly).lol

{runs for the door before the women here string me up...}

Hmmm...

Perhaps we should just club together and buy our own country or something?

Seems to me everyone \'on the street\' is saying the same thing but our leaders appear to be taking their cues from the martians???

Man assaults woman with gator

A Florida man was charged with battery after police broke up a fight with the man and his girlfriend. The woman says the man hit her with his fists, threw beer bottles at her and whacked her with his pet alligator, which he kept in the tub.

No word on whether it was drunkenness or the stench of not being able to bathe because of the gator that led to the altercation.

Not quite a chicken but interesting anyway.
