Since my last poll brought up some interesting questions, I went of and did a little bit of research and found out some interesting stuff about NZ.

Did you know its illegal here for any film to depict urophilia (A.K.A golden showers / people peeing on each-other for sexual excitement) and yet incest is legal (in film as far as I know)...whoooh! glad to see NZ has it priorities straight :iconimspeechlessplz:

And prostitution is legal.

The government also is in the process of monitoring peoples internet use to catch people who use peer to peer means to download copyrighted material, in other words torrenting stuff is illegal, though the law doesn't cover file lockers ^^; There is a three strike system they use if they catch you and it resets ever 9 months.

There are some awesome laws too, like the age limit for alcohol is 18, though I think that will change to 20 soon? and the age to get your driving license is 15 though I think it will go up to 16 soon >.> (never mind, it already went up :paranoid: Well I got it when I was 15....shammmmmmeeeeeeeee ='D

Healthcare is also free, well for hospital admissions and what not, private practises still cost an arm and a leg and NZ was also the first country in the world to allow women to vote. :iconlawooplz:

So tell me? I wanna hear some wierd and/or cool laws from the country you live in?
