New Anti-Sitting on stairs laws

[Ordo Drakul]

Impractical? A waste of resources? Why aren't more socialists climbing onboard, then?

Because they have no money left to waste

Does that ever really stop them?

[Novograd IV]

Same difference.

No it's not! It's like comparingt Europe to Asia!

Wait... Europe and Asia are physically the same continent, looking at plate movements.

A former leader, whose name escapes me, tried to enact legislation of this sort. The measure was overturned as it was considered impractical if not a bit elitest to assume that he could make it up or down a flight of stairs in one go..

[Mid Lothian]

It sounds like something you would do

Trust me - he would do worse. (Those of us who have been here long enough will remember his reign of terror membership as "Kalasparata".)

Depends on how and why you are sitting, although you won't be arrested for simply sitting.

While the Imperium does not have laws regarding this specific situation, groups of people blocking busy public walkways and stairways would likely be dealt with under the deliberately nebulous public nuisance laws.

Stairway blocking and shenanigans like this and this would earn a swift rebuke from police, but likely no other punishment unless the offender resisted in some way; it's necessary to prevent things like this.

And it should be noted that, while we do not always agree with the policies and actions of Kalaspia-Shimarata, the Imperium generally holds a favorable attitude toward them, and wishes their government well.

Thank You! And the esculator thing is actually legal here!

Kala, if this law was enacted in Australia IRL, would you or would you not think it was the stupidest law we have today?

And what "exceptions" are there?

If this law was in Australia, I would be happy. It'll teach those spastics at my school a lesson! And the exceptions are explained somewhere in the thread
