I'm interested to see the blue laws in other areas, feel free to contribute.

For debate:

Do these laws represent a tyranny of the majority over the minority?

That is a good thing, since many who criticize frivolous and/or oppressive laws do so with something other than petty and juvenile intent. Yours strikes me as more akin to an adolescent desire to ridicule.
How is criticizing "frivolous" (or oppressive) laws an act of "petty, juvenile intent"?

I've been plenty patient in responding to you, I ask that you do the same and answer my questions...

Namely...

Is it a product of your religious training to insult others, or do you come by it naturally?

How does questioning my motives or maturity address the OP?

Do you have anything constructive to add, or are you just here to insult me for even bringing the subject up?

No I'm not, because I've not done anything wrong.

You are more than welcome to report the OP, and any of my responses to the moderators. However, if you seek to continue questioning my motives and maturity don't be surprise when it is you being the one getting reported.
