Hypothetical Question

[Wompet]

There is one It's called Scotland...
Would we be required to carry atomic footballs?


MrBill

Nope, atomic haggis.

It would never happen. To enact such legislation would restrict one's right ot freedom of expression of one's ethnic and/or cultural heritage, with the possibility of denigrating said ethnic/cultural heritage at the same time, an action which is clearly prohibited under the curent Table of Offenses and Penalties for Federal Employees.

It's my weekend, so I'm going to stop speaking bureaucratese now and go for a kilted walk in the woods with the dog.

Some laws were meant to be broken! I would still wear mine.

[ronstew]

Depends on the level of enforcement. Death penalty and gangs of informants? Pants.

[davedove]

I don't know, I'm really not much of a law breaker so I probably wouldn't, at least in public. I would be very vocal in overturning the law however.

[MacMullen]

Hell-o all,

Just wondering, if Kilts were to be outlawed worldwide, would we all be law breakers? Would we "push the envelope" in order to wear the Kilt, or would we be secret Kilt wearers?

Like I said just wondering.

Hey, that could never happen! Oh, wait, it did happen at one point in Scotland's history, didn't it?

If it was a kilt or jail, I suppose I'd have to go private, but, like someone else posted, if it's illegal it might drive more people into the streets with their kilts to protest.

[Mattg]

I would definitly wear kilts!

OK, I've chomped my tongue all I am able.

For the life of me, I cannot understand the question that initiated this thread or the comments made in it.

If stealing money from banks was made illegal, would you do it anyway? Oh, wait, bad analogy, that's already illegal.

OK, if stealing cars was made illegal... Alright, alright, that won't work, either.

How about this? If they made selling heroin illeg... Hmmmmm.

AHA! Now, I've got one for you - If post counts scored the same way as golf strokes, would this thread have ever seen the light of day?

I will say one thing for this thread, however. Now we know how many hypothetical rebels we have around to hypothetically break hypothetical laws. Although I am unsure if hypothetically breaking a hypothetical law comes with hypothetical consequences, such as a hypothetical jail sentence.

[Southern Breeze]

Are you speaking hypothetically?

[GlassMan]

I'd wear my kilts and as the government troops swarmed down to arrest the loyal kilted all assembed with our backs to the water I'd hobble forth on my cane and stand in their way boldly proclaiming "They will stop for me. I'm a Princess of Egypt!" Woops, sorry, having a flashback to the Cecil B Demiles version of the Ten Commandments. :rolleyes: *giggle* It's that time of year.

Seriously, you'd find my butt in a courtroom faster than you can so go mounting a legal challenge to that law.
