- dylan420, on 10/10/2007, -6/+42I am from Alabama, and I can confirm this. Semi-Auto rifles are legit, as are bongs (most of the 'head' shops there sell meth pipes, too), but *no* sex toys. I mean, you gotta draw the line somewhere, right? I had to get out of the god forsaken ***** hole, so I came to Mississippi!
- keyboardcowboy, on 10/10/2007, -1/+36please tell me that sex toy is called the "Hello Clitty"
- Urusai, on 10/10/2007, -4/+32Both should be legal. Between conservatives who would ban dildos and legalize guns, and the liberals who would legalize dildos but ban guns, this country is *****.
- wattznext, on 10/10/2007, -4/+29"This is my weapon, this is my gun
This is for shootin, this is for fun" - fixty, on 10/10/2007, -1/+26That pic's both hilarious and sobering.
- jbus, on 10/10/2007, -12/+31This is a good example of why states like Alabama are considered by most rational Americans to be "flyover country".
- coltrane68, on 10/10/2007, -6/+25Dugg for an outstanding title.
- erickssm, on 10/10/2007, -11/+27Keep up the great work down there in the South. Priorities! Since when are personal morels allowed to be laws???
- akira117, on 10/10/2007, -0/+16Hello kitty vibrator FTW!!! :D
- deezp1, on 10/10/2007, -3/+16Is Mississippi really an upgrade? just asking :)
- Otto, on 10/10/2007, -1/+13Atlanta. Also known as"Delta Hub".
- theNazz, on 10/10/2007, -9/+20It tells me a lot about the brain dead people who keep voting these ***** into office so that they will continue these morality based laws. I'm glad they still have laws like that because it makes them easier to identify as places that I will never spend one dime or one second of my time.
If they had reasonable laws on the books, it would be harder to judge how pig headed the people really are there. - atdigg, on 10/10/2007, -2/+13No, that goes with "pursuit of happiness" if you heard of such thing.
- playyboy, on 09/29/2009, -3/+13what about http://www.1sn.com/images/a2216.jpg ?
- Keiera, on 10/10/2007, -0/+10I also live in Alabama. Just because it says that you can't sell vibrators here does not mean that novelties can't be sold here. There is a sex shop where I live (Tuscaloosa) as well as ones in Birmingham, Dothan, Huntsville, etc. There are tons of stores that sell the things, they just have stickers on them that say "For novelty use only." Doesn't stop me from buying them. They can pry mine out of my cold dead hands.
- lrf2005, on 10/10/2007, -1/+10If you're going to quote it, quote it right:
"This is for FIGHTING, this is for fun" - Metman, on 10/10/2007, -3/+12Perverted? By what standard? I know of no references legally or biblically in regards to 'sex toys'.
- FearlessFreep, on 10/10/2007, -1/+10All laws are is the codified personal morals of an aggregation of the populace.
- tortfeasor, on 10/10/2007, -1/+9The law is not enforced. There are several "adult" stores in Birmingham and Huntsville that sell sex toys.
- malkiholic, on 10/10/2007, -2/+10@DavidBGie:
Dildos on their own aren't perverted. What IS perverted is how many of them you can fit in your own ass at once. My eyes! - Konrad9, on 10/10/2007, -2/+10Reminds me of when I was in a gun shop in CT.
I asked them if they knew where an airsoft store was... and they told me airsoft was illegal in that town.
In a shop where you could buy a semi-auto P90... - wattznext, on 10/10/2007, -4/+11@DavidBGie
The inconvenient truth is that you can't pick and choose items to enforce from the constitution. This administration cares not for the 1st amendment, nor habeas corpus, nor judicial oversight of the president and his officers. But if you want their guns you'll have to pry them from their cold dead...bah you know the drill... - inactive, on 10/10/2007, -1/+8Guns don't kill people' dildos kill people...
- j.carcinogen, on 10/10/2007, -2/+9I live near the FL boarder and we sell vibrators. Check out Out on a Whim in Dothan, AL. Also used to sell them (and other sex toys) in a place called the Toy Shop in Enterprise, AL, and in Birmingham, there are places around Five Points. Inaccurate.
- williamharper, on 10/10/2007, -3/+10YEA!! Great Idea!!! You've made such a wonderfully persuasive argument, I'm in.
OR we could take a look at the constitution....maybe get a few of our laws from that? - Lister169, on 10/10/2007, -0/+7"Mom -- kitty is being a dildo." -- Cartman
"I know a special little kitty that's sleeping with mommy tonight." -- Cartman's mom - KnightWhoSaysNi, on 10/10/2007, -0/+7This might just make the head of an Alabama legislator explode!!!
- BooostedAWD, on 10/10/2007, -2/+9"Make War, not Love?" hmm
- thrin, on 10/10/2007, -0/+6Yeah, but I love the "Novelty Use Only" stickers on everything. It's pretty funny. There are a lot of things I love about this state, but there are a lot of things I am ashamed of too.
- KnightWhoSaysNi, on 10/10/2007, -0/+6"morality based laws" as opposed to...?
the word you're looking for is "logic" - subterfuge, on 10/10/2007, -0/+6your misplaced modifier resulted in you describing your mom as the seventh layer of hell
- ThinkBox, on 10/10/2007, -0/+6I find it ironic how you want to "SIGN UP" to buy a gun you dont have to register....
- Genthree, on 10/10/2007, -0/+6Sex toys are illegal in Mississippi too. I distinctly remember them passing that law a couple of years ago. The news clips of them carrying boxes of dildoes out of the sex shops were priceless.
- inactive, on 10/10/2007, -1/+7What? I didn't say anything!
- heatmizuh, on 10/10/2007, -1/+7Sigh. Another 'Bama bashing article, and I'm sure more comments will ensue. I invite those of you who live in states without some sort of backwards law, racism, ignorance, hatred or disparity feel free to cast the first dugg down.
/sick of holier-than-thou ***** - reed311, on 10/10/2007, -6/+11I moved to the South last year and I was shocked by some of the stupid ***** they do down here. For example, I had no idea there was such things as dry counties, where the sale of alcohol is against the law.
- TubaTechno, on 10/10/2007, -1/+6Ah yes, remain ignorant and unfunny my friend.
http://crime.about.com/od/guns/f/gunlaw_al.htm - Terr01, on 10/10/2007, -0/+5Oh, you again! Full of ***** as usual I see.
Look up "Jose Padilla" Now look up "Fifth Amendment".
Bonus: It's impeachable. - dylan420, on 10/10/2007, -0/+5nope!
- subterfuge, on 10/10/2007, -1/+6a libertarian would say that both should be legal
- swoopdog, on 10/10/2007, -1/+6I agree if the NRA didn't have such a nationalist/rednecked/conservative agenda I would join.
We need a progressive (ie: liberal) group that supports the 2nd Amendment! - tortfeasor, on 10/10/2007, -1/+6 If the internet has taught us anything, it's that it's cool to denigrate and stereotype anyone and everyone who lives in the South.
- tortfeasor, on 10/10/2007, -1/+6There are also shops in Homewood, Huntsville and Cullman that sell them.
- ajhops, on 10/10/2007, -1/+5You are mistaken.
- blueNymph, on 10/10/2007, -3/+7As this article is not accurate, your comment is untrue. Despite popular believe, rednecks are found everywhere, not just in the south. Stupid people are found everywhere, not just in the south. Blaming the south and pretending this is not true does not change real fact, "erickssm".
Think before you write. - EvilJelloMan, on 10/10/2007, -1/+5You missed the other wrong part of the quote - "This is my RIFLE, this is my gun"
- andydumi, on 10/10/2007, -1/+5Very true. Used to drive up and down from Nashville and right across the border at the first exit in Tennessee there is a strip joint and a couple of adult bookstores. And the strip joint is called Boobie Bungalow... perhaps the best name ever.
- insonh, on 10/10/2007, -0/+4I live in Massachusetts where it’s next to impossible to get a gun permit
But if you’re a pedophile the most you can expect to get if you get caught is the equivalent of a speeding ticket as a fine
Just to give you some perspective between the north and south
And BTW to the guy who posted about dry counties in Al, there are several towns in Massachusetts that are dry two of which are
Melrose Ma, Rockport Ma - Hetman, on 10/10/2007, -1/+5I do not have a problem with this. I mean a dildo is a one time purchase. The problems I have with lingering christian laws is sunday. It is so stupid that I cannot buy beer on sunday in some states. And everything shuts down to boot. I am sorry but sunday is not my sabbath and I like to enjoy it.
- TubaTechno, on 10/10/2007, -0/+4I never thought to base an entire centuries old religion based on one region of the United States. Makes perfect sense to do that!
