When he realized that he was unable to nail his other hand to the board, he called 911," said Boucher. It was unclear whether the man was seeking assistance for his injury or help in nailing his other hand down.

So could we, should we legislate against the stupidity of gods children?

in this case its simple, just help him by nailing his other hand, then give him all the other wonderful treatments that Jesus got, see how many people follow


PS, im not being serious (if u hadnt guessed)

Though I think it's obvious this guy didn't commit a crime it makes me think of the illegality of other self-destructive behavior. In this context it suddenly seemed insane that drug use is illegal when this kind of indisputably unhealthy activity is legal.

sorry, kinda went off topic but the arbitrary nature of our laws regarding actions we do to ourselves alone just jumped into my head when I read this.
