Probably things like this: http://www.cnn.com/2013/05/01/us/kentucky-accidential-shooting/ where Murricans give guns to kids but not candy with a toy in it.

As a parent, anyone who gives anything to a toddler or small children without constant vigilance, shouldn't be allowed to procreate

No, it explicitly says NOT FOR KIDS UNDER AGE OF 4

The United States' most notorious food ban is finally being lifted.
Well, kinda.

If you dig deep enough, most modern things have roots in a period where religion was prevalent enough to have influenced it. Fundamentalists don't really need 'reasons' to ban, though. It's enough that it's different from what they feel comfortable with. The rest is often just an after-the-fact rationale.

Christmas is really the Roman holiday Saturnalia, which evolved from an earlier Germanic one, which itself cam from another predecessor of the Mountain peoples of the Turkish-Armenia steppe, etc.

Nah, it's EA+DFL who ban it because licences. However with the EA FM beeing shut down forever SEGA might be able to aquire the license. Maybe...

I'd have to say Youtube and internet video blocks based on region are pretty strange. They know we have plenty of available web-based proxies, and often the location-based blocks are in open and civilised countries where the content isn't stonewalled due to religious reasons. The number of times I used to get "SORRY YOU CAN'T VIEW THIS MUSIC VIDEO BECAUSE NOT AVAILABLE IN THE UK" for things I could easily see on my TV was pretty dumb.

Unwed sex is banned in Florida(its not like we arent doing it anyway) and if you are in an unwed relationship, you cant live together

also, anything thats NOT missionary is banned, I dont know what kind of suit-nerd made these laws, but whatever.

On the subject of Bieber, his music is god awful but think about it, you give a bunch of kids his age that much press, money, attention, etc...and see how many don't turn out like him, the industry created a monster and now everyone's shocked.
Hint: Most will.

That's one of the problems with Christianity, that they step in and claim that what someone else is doing is infringing on their own personal rights. Then they try to claim marriage as a Christian institution or a religious one and do everything in their power to make it illegal for homosexuals. Marriage has NOTHING to do with Christianity or the Bible, even though you have prescriptions or regulations for it. That is ONLY just for Christians to follow. If you feel a country's/planet's values should be Christian, then you are very mistaken.
And no one's saying that the Church of Southern Baptists (the most anti-everything Christian group that's still considered Christianity) are legally required to marry homosexuals or heterosexual neo-nazis or face discrimination charges. They can continue existing as they do, except they lose their right to infringe on a right that they never had the right to infringe on in the first place. Simple as that.

Yes if those teaching includes forcing that religion on others. Personally I would ban public display of religion as harmful for minors.
Also, why should legal part of marriage really have anything to do with any religion? Why can't it just be fully secular mater?
Comment has been collapsed.
Uh, what? I live in Sweden. Here same sex marriage is allowed, whether it is religious or a partnership. I did not state - anywhere - in my post claiming Christianity (which is not the only religion in the world that has marriages, you know) should be forced down any drain.
Please stop thinking that everything revolves around Christianity, just because your own perspective is that of a Christian.

Canadian Broadcast in the USA... '_'
(Well, at least it's blocked from most official sources for some reason, I doubt anything bad will happen if you somehow end up watching it another way.)
Comment has been collapsed.
Actually, no, not "in the USA." For over a decade, I lived in Seattle until somewhat recently. We were able to get and watch a couple Canadian stations, can't remember them all, but the one that sticks out the most is PBS. So we had 2 PBS stations, and they ran two different sets of shows/programs. I would tune into the Canadian one from time to time, around 9 or 10, to watch the Red Green Show.
I think that has more to do with specific state or local laws.

Oh sorry, meant CBC, not necessarily every thing broadcast from Canada.

Why oh why ?! Do we have such annoying controversial topic in a game giveaway website? It always devolves into a political debate which is oddly reminiscent of a couple of idiots fighting about whose prick is better. We have at least 15 page scrolls of some debate raging on (though the chain posting is cool, always enjoy that).
Going back to the topic though, I have a couple of cool anecdotes from my uncle from his visits to china for business, lets see, the flower Jasmine is banned, Reincarnation is also banned if you have no permission (watch out Dalai Lama) and finally my favorite one, Game Consoles -_- .

Rockstars' Bully is banned in Brazil's Steam store. That counts?

Buckyballs are banned.
Apparently, the giant warning saying "DO NOT GIVE TO PEOPLE UNDER 15 YEARS OLD" and "DO NOT SWALLOW THESE MAGNETS" doesn't mean anything when people find out that their children ate magnets then sue the company.
Angry face.
Also, for some strange reason having a rifle in California with a separate pistol grip is illegal, but if you connect the bottom of the pistol grip with the stock then detach it from the buffer tube it's somehow legal despite acting exactly the same, but looking more retarded.
Lawn darts are illegal, which is also really stupid, but then again, maybe people can't read the warning that says "DO NOT THROW SHARP POINTY OBJECTS STRAIGHT UP IN THE AIR BECAUSE THEY COME DOWN AND KILL PEOPLE"
Awesome adaptive LED headlights are banned because by law all cars in the US must have a high-low settings, rather than an array of independently adjusted headlights that avoid oncoming traffic while adjusting their brightness. That regulation is probably about 50-60 years old now.
7n6 ammunition was recently banned from Russian import, not because of recent crises, but because some guy legally built a pistol using it. For some odd reason involving armor piercing ammunition in pistols, it got banned. Huh.
I think someone already said Kinder Surprise.

Yeah, but to many people banning large magazines makes sense. The cosmetic California-only stocks for ARs don't make any sense at all.

Might have swallowed two or three as a kid myself (if not many many more).

Valentine's Day is a fucking christian holiday, why the fuck would it ever be celebrated in Saudi Arabia? Of course, the fact that it's banned even for christian people is a serious problem. But it's nothing new because we all know that that country(and most Arab countries in general) are seriously fucked up.

Christmas is basically a reskin of winter solstice, my family actually celebrates winter solstice every once in a while(If crap isn't crazy, crap is usually crazy)...we don't do the whole Christmas thing, well we did when I and my sister were small(To not be left out).

Simply because there's a law that prevents selling food with objects inside, to prevent choking, and Kinder eggs falls into that category altough is improbable that a choking could happen, but seems that law has to be applied equally to all food.
PD: I'm not from America, just read it somewhere else some time ago xD

Seriously, why would anyone ban specific video games in some countries? ._.
Comment has been collapsed.
Because it creates a sense of control over others. I will also impose a massive VAT fee over video games a small group of government suits find acceptable to society and forbid inter-region trading that pushes costs down through competition. It is Socialistic, hurts the economy, but I am in full control over you people so long as you are not able to sidestep my laws.

Because there aren't really any completely banned videogames, other than perhaps if you live in Germany or Australia. Maybe Brazil, I'm not sure.
