Sinopse

Ridiculous Laws Explained dives into the world of unusual laws, exploring the historical and political contexts that led to their creation and endurance. These aren't just quirky facts; they offer insights into a society's values and evolving social norms. For instance, the book explores oddities like the Swiss law against flushing toilets late at night, revealing underlying social anxieties about noise and order.

 
The book uniquely blends legal history with political science, making it valuable for anyone interested in the forces that shape legal systems. The book argues that the persistence of these legal oddities reflects inertia within legal systems and the challenges of adapting to modern society. It uses a comparative approach to analyze similar laws across different countries, revealing common threads and unique cultural influences.

 
These include laws born from specific historical events, those reflecting outdated social codes, and those resulting from bureaucratic loopholes. By examining these laws, the book progresses chapter by chapter, encouraging critical thinking about current legislation and the need for law reform.

    American Indian Symbolism

    The North American Indian is by nature a symbolist, a mystic, and a philosopher. Like most: aboriginal peoples, his soul was en rapport with the cosmic agencies manifesting about him. Not only did his Manidos control creation from their exalted seats above the clouds, but they also descended into the world of men and mingled with their red children. The gray clouds hanging over the horizon were the smoke from the calumets of the gods, who could build fires of petrified wood and use a comet for a flame. The American Indian peopled the forests, rivers, and sky with myriads of superphysical and invisible beings. There are legends of entire tribes of Indians who lived in lake bottoms; of races who were never seen in the daytime but who, coming forth from their hidden caves, roamed the earth at night and waylaid unwary travelers; also of Bat Indians, with human bodies and batlike wings, who lived in gloomy forests and inaccessible cliffs and who slept hanging head downward from great branches and outcroppings of rock. The red man's philosophy of elemental creatures is apparently the outcome of his intimate contact with Nature, whose inexplicable wonders become the generating cause of such metaphysical speculations.

    The Olympic Village—a gathering place for hot young athletes bursting with aggression and testosterone. 
    Was it an act of sabotage? The rival diving team got me on my knees the night before our competition. They fed me their seed, sending my mind into a tailspin. 
    Now, I’m on international television, fully hard in my little speedo. I can’t focus on diving—my dreams are falling apart. All I can think about is how good it felt to kneel for other men. It felt so good to accept their authority… 
    What have they done to me…?

  • Two States for Two Peoples? - The Palestinian-Israeli conflict international law and European Union policy - cover

    Two States for Two Peoples? -...

    The EU two-state policy concerning the Palestinian-Israeli conflict is failing, despite a half-century of strenuous EU efforts expending tens of billions of euros to implement it. The reality of policy failure is discomforting but must be acknowledged.Failure should provoke reflection: reasons need to be understood to avoid repeated mistakes and to construct a more successful policy for the future. The reasons for failure of the EU Two State Policy are serious but surprisingly obvious. At the base of the EU two-state policy lie 3 false assumptions of wishful thinking: the Palestinian-Israeli conflict is territorial and not existential; East Jerusalem and the West Bank legally belong to the Palestinians; and the establishment of a democratic Palestinian state at peace beside Israel is realistic and feasible.This report challenges these assumptions and makes recommendations for a new approach to enabling Palestinian autonomy, Israeli security and regional stability.Palestinian rights to self-determination must be respected, but they may not be allowed to conflict with the fair and non-discriminatory application of international law, nor be allowed to undermine Israeli sovereignty or regional stability. Peace will never be achieved through agendas aimed at destruction.The EU should focus on ensuring rejection of extremism and mutual acceptance; the fair and equal application of international law to all actors in the region; and strengthening institutions of government based on the rule of law. The authors of this report seek to stimulate vigorous debate on the EU approach to the Palestinian-Israeli conflict and a better way forward for Europes engagement in the Middle East.
