when your legal system is so fucked.

So two jackass teenagers in long island were planning to arm themselves and shoot up their school. They set a date, and were trying to get a hold of weapons. They got caught after a social workers tip. Anyway they pleaded not guilty and face up to a year.

Some dipshit teen manages to get in Sarah Palin's email account and post some shit on 4chan about it. He gets caught and faces up to 50 years.

Does anyone but me find it very difficult to take the law or your country seriously at times when two kids planning to kill their fellow students face only a year in prison while some retard who manages to get inside of Sarah Palins email faces 50 years in Federal Prison?

I mean sometimes it makes you wonder if this country we're all so invested in is even worth caring about, tbh.

Pretty much...  If you want to really see some fucked up laws though...  check out our sex laws.

There are numerous minors who get busted for taking naked pictures of their gfs or bfs (or themselves) and end up treated like adult sex offenders.

It's un-fucking-believable, but apparently, no legislators have bothered to fix it.

you can be put on the sex offender list for taking a piss in public

is that serious? jesus and you think the UK are a bunch of nanny-staters. some policeman caught me having a piss in the bush, and he just chuckled and told me to wash my hands when i get home.

Your America's founding fathers are awesome.
