On average last year

[Mr. Jollypants]

4.645 laws were passed every hour, 24 hours a day, for 365 days. That's 40,697 laws passed in the US. This included everything from texting while driving to tanning bed use for teenagers.

Bro, cool story?

 

[Kswest]

I see. I have to formulate a thought before deciding what to say here.

Interesting, but how valid is your source? That's a hell of a lot of laws.. Not to mention 4.645 x 24 x 365 = 40,690.2... not 40,697

Did you know that 94.2% of people believed a fact without checking the source within the past month; and that 100% of the previous comment was pulled directly from my ass?

Now I'm not saying that you're making stuff up to mislead us. I know you better than that, but are you sure your source is correct and it's not just posting some crap?

but i don't think it's unbelievable by any means...

oooooooooooooooooooooo That had to burn Jason's ass!

 

[joe7987]

No.. there was no intention to burn Jason. I trust Jason's word and look at him as one of the more reputable members on this site. I was just wondering what his source was and if IT was reputable.

lol, I think my comments came across in an offensive way when I didn't mean them to at all.

There's no mention of how many laws were abolished in '09. Maybe, in sum total, we now actually have less laws. Just a thought.

 

[DarkCreep]

Did you know... Its illegal to throw a cow off of an airplane?
