- mrd3v0 3y agoMost laws in the world have a rationale of using fear to prevent people from doing things, rather than actually hold them accountable.
- fred_is_fred 3y agoI believe the person you are replying to was making a joke about the effectiveness of camouflage clothing.
- entropicgravity 3y agoThis list is heavy on the Caribbean, I wonder what makes them so jumpy about camouflage clothing?
- pureheartlover 3y agoPersonally I think the lower the grip on power the more paranoia a government expresses. Paradoxically these prohibitions could reveal a level of freedom from government interference as there is probably low or inconsistent law enforcement.

- tkgally 3y agoThe maker of some fitness equipment made in Scotland with camouflage cloth [1] recently mentioned on social media that he couldn't ship his products to some countries because of the camouflage pattern.
