Weird And Crazy Things That Are Banned In Different Countries!
It is sometimes so funny to hear that a thing which can be legal and authentic can be banned in many countries. Since humans seek freedom to do anything in life, putting a ban on essential things can be quite annoying actually.
For example, the wearing of helmets is good for you while riding a bike and wearing a seat belt is also an authentic thing to do, but what if frowning and dying is banned in some countries?
It seems weird and illogical for us to ban some legal things and it feels as if the freedom has been snatched away from us. However, these petty things that are banned may seem to have a logic behind too.
