We all know that Jews aren't allowed to eat 'unclean' meat. Now, I'm no Judaism major, but it seems likely to me that this prohibition was originally soemthing sensible. They lacked the technology to store pork properly, for instance, and eating pork in 1000BCE was a good way to die of food poisoning.

So I'm proposing we all petition our favourite (or least favourite) religion to impose some bans with bearing of life in the 21st century. The Catholics made tax evasion a deadly sin (or is that Deadly Sin?), so why not make the mores of our society religious decrees too?

Since *my* society is IT nerdness and skanky raver chicks, I'll start off with 'Thou shalt not read or post to slashdot at work' and 'Thou shalt not procure recreational drugs from men in toilets'. Take it and run, people

Actually the better reason for avoiding pork then was for Trichinosis which would have been easier to get from pork back then.

Even now, it's a good idea to make sure you cook pork throroughly.

But if you buy from the men on the toliet, at least you know the drugs are untrustworthy. Better than getting them from you buddy and then finding they are laced with shit.

All the more reason to find new things to prohibt/encourage whatever!

How bout 'thou shalt wash your childs hair, lest it become infested with foul vermin'

Stark if we are going to add bans against something to do with taxes, it makes more sense to ban paying taxes, that way you have a religious reason to not pay em.

But then all our followers go to prison... so we'd need things like 'thou shalt not pass the shiv'...

Thou shalt not cook meat to less than 160 degrees Fahrenheit; it is an abomination.

'Microwave dinners are an affront to the LORD GOD'... 'thou shalt not fail to put some water in empty coffee mugs before abandoning them to the mercies of the sink'....

If thyne be a female, thout shalt fellate darthdavid, for he is in dire need of ye.

No no, thou, it's definately thou.

Thou shalt not spam, thou shalt be castrated if thy name is darthdavid.

No no no... we are being Biblical. That means stoning darthdavid.

Someone get a bag of hash on the double!

thou shalt not make love without thine glove

thou shalt not consume tequila and jagermeister on the same day, for such a consumption is unholy, and an affront unto the Lord.

Thou shalt not... ah fuck it.

Moved to OT.

thou shalt not mix whiskey with anything but pure water

Thou shalt not eat food from McDonald's, it is an abomination.

Thou shalt not charge more than $2 for a cup of coffe, it is an abomination.

HEATHEN!!! We all know that god is part Irish and god decrees, ney DEMANDS! that whiskey must be drank straight lest ye be cast into the fires where englishmen dwell for all eternity.

Appologies to the English EBC members

Thou shalt not drink soft drinks that containeth aspartame, for they are foul perversions of true, sugary goodness.

As long as the englishwomen dwell there too I see no problem.
And of course I agree with you about drinking it straight. Merely for the ladies that are not used to such pure and divine spirits a gentleman should allow them to drink them lessened slightly like this, lest one has to deal with such a sweet creature breaking divine law and that cannot be a gentleman's intent.

Thou shalt ignite thine BBQs with kerosene, for it is a sweet savour unto the LORD.

Thou shalt spell thine words and punctuate thy sentences correctly when posting upon a message board, lest the Grammar Nazis stone you with stones.

Thou shalt not be an obnoxious dickhead of abdominable smell, as thine is an affront to thy LORD, and thou dost stone them.

I'm sure that would get rid of all but a dozen of the guys in my school, though. Oh well, more girls for me.
