I love the laws where you can't die like with the most common law about this is it is illegal to commit suicide. What are they going to do, sentence a dead man to 4 years behind bars? xD and the one where it is illegal to die in the house of parliament hahaha that's good.

I would bet that you will find a completely off the wall law just about every place you go. Thankfully most are forgotten or not enforced.

The scary thing about some of these laws is that it generally means someone has done that thing, which caused them to make a law about it.

I never said it was, but it's good that everyone is entitled to basic care. If that means everyone has to contribute... fine.
