10:54a - Tubman's Law
Via this wank:
By trying to equate black racial oppression--which involved millions of people being taken away from their countries and carted across the sea, where many died or got horrible diseases, and then were used as free laborers and were more mistreated than animals and then, even after being freed, being basically treated the same, with hundreds of years of oppression, hatred, and prejudice thrust onto them simply because of the color of their skin--to things that doesn't compare at all, you automatically FAIL AT LIFE. And the arguement. Especially the arguement.
Violators will be strapped into a seat tightly and made to watch movies such as Roots, Rosewood, and Once Upon a Time...When We Were Colored. EDIT: Other punishments will consist of (via ![[info]](http://www.journalfen.net/img/userinfo.gif) fernwithy) spending one week working very hard in the fields, with evenings spent in the relaxing occupation of getting seeds out of raw cotton. When their fingers stop bleeding, they may return to the internet and rethink their position. Unless they are tempted not to rethink it, in which case, lather, rinse, repeat as necessary. Also, some stubborn ones will be made to sit at a counter in their nice clothes and have various condiments and liquids--some of human orgin--thrown and dumped upon them.
Will take name suggestions Now christened Tubman's Law.

1:33p - Chikane's Law
From this wank:
If your response to a carefully reasoned, logical, and well-thought-out argument is to tell people to go back and reread what you wrote, you lose at life, the internets, and everything.
Edited to add this corollary, suggested by eljuno:
"If, on the other hand, the answer is obviously because someone HASN'T read what you said, this law is null and void. To cover, say, the day when I found myself having to ward off people who were trying to explain to me why Michael Corner wasn't (necessarily) black and all I could do was go 'I AGREE. LOOK BACK AT WHAT I SAID.'"
