So why are the laws still in effect regarding advocating republicanism as treason?
I can't speak to this specific case, but there are often many outdated laws on the books in many countries - I know that's the case here in Australia, and it's probably the case in the United States as well.

Well, certainly. In my state, I can be accused of “statutory rape” should an underage female take her shoes and socks off while in the passenger seat of my motorized vehicle. " src="http://forums-files.appleinsider.com/images/smilies//lol.gif" />
But treason? That’s important.
So important, in fact, that the link above doesn’t tell the full story. I was wrong before (before before; before the article); it explicitly remains illegal to advocate the abolition of the monarchy, as confirmed by the government. Legal is, apparently, calling for republicanism. So at least that’s nice. Not sure how it’d work with a monarchy still in place, but...

Sheesh. I need to stop participating in my daughter's soccer carpool. "Do NOT take those cleats off in this vehicle!!!"
You talk about changing the dialog away from Ebola, toward gay rights, because the Democrats were losing the Senate. You called that mind-control. Tell me, how many people contracted Ebola in America and died from it? 0. We achieved that result without "sealing the borders" as your ilk would have had us so.
You then have the nerve to quote the bible! When you are clearly not a Christian...Enjoy Hell.

That's very true. It's just very difficult to get laws off the books. I have a book that details a lot of these insane, archaic laws, but most of them are local laws, not Federal laws.
As of the book's publication in 1998, they were all still on the books:
- Children tiding on a train are not allowed to drink milk while passing through the state of North Carolina
- It is "unlawful to tease or torment skunks or polecats" in Minnesota.
- In Kingman, Arizona, camel hunting within city limits is prohibited.
- It is strictly forbidden in Los Angeles to bathe two babies in the same tub at the same time.
- A Dallas, Texas ordinance forbids "walking about aimlessly, without apparent purpose, lingering, having around, lagging behind, idly spending time, delaying, sauntering an moving slowly about."
- In Los Angeles, you are not allowed to hunt moths under a streetlight
- Citizens of Garfield County, Montana, are not allowed to draw funny faces on their window shades.
- It's against the law to wear patent leather shoes in Oxford, Ohio.
- In Miami, it's forbidden to imitate animals.
- In Iowa, "a one-armed piano player may be seen, but not if admission is charged to view his performance."
- In Idaho, it's against the law to fish for trout while sitting on the back of a giraffe.
- In Portland, Maine, it is against the law to tickle a girl under the chin with a feather duster.
- In New York, pickles cannot be sold as a side dish in restaurants. They must "accompany a meal as a substitute for butter."
Etc.
Of course, it's doubtful that any of these are actually enforced with the possible exception of that Dallas, Texas rule.
