Are there any legal ramifications in Anglosphere nations for minor social derelictions such as gently pushing a random stranger on the street, calling a police officer ugly extremely unattractive, calling a disapproving co-worker or roommate sexy, blowing kisses at random pedestrians on the street, farting loudly in a crowded elevator, relentlessly flicking the ear of one's disapproving sibling, yelling in the ear of one's frightened parent, cruelly never giving your offspring any pocketmoney or means to pay for educational necessities etc. From my research, the aforementioned situations fall under a grey area that is not covered under the law. Am I correct?

In many nonhuman species, food is discovered at a random location by sight, scent or hearing. Sometimes, food has to be caught and killed; other times, food can be retrieved from the ground in the form of dead animal or plant. Now, what do you call an instance in which food is grown and then distributed to other members of the species in exchange for metal coins or non-edible materials that symbolize the worth of a particular food? In this case, food is not received directly, but indirectly, before it gets to the eater. How do you describe this sort of phenomenon? 140.254.77.168 ( talk) 19:08, 25 February 2016 (UTC)
As far as I know, working in the United States at a business company requires a work Visa, which may involve the luck of the draw literally. And there is a limit as to how many people can be drawn. What about Canada? If an American citizen finds a job in Canada and immigrates there, would the same thing apply? In other words, is it easier to become a Canadian or American? 140.254.70.25 ( talk) 22:09, 25 February 2016 (UTC)
Also the Diversity Immigrant Visa is for a United States Permanent Resident Card. While this allows you to work, a distinction is normally made in most countries between a visa which qualifies you for permanent residence and a work visa (or work permit). The former as the name implies generally allows you to live in the country permanent generally even if you're not working, provided you're able to support yourself and don't do something to lose it. The later generally being temporary or requiring renewal. And often requiring you to work to have any hope of continually renewing it, or at least the renewal may be denied for reasons mostly unrelated to your conduct. It may also have other restrictions like only allowing you to work in a certain industry or a certain company.
The boundaries and variance from country to country can be complicated, still there's a reason Permanent residency and work visa are different articles. Getting a work visa and working legally in the country is often one way you may eventually gain permanent residence, but it also often isn't the only one. (As the diversity immigrant visa shows.)
In other words, if you think getting a work visa in the US largely involves luck of the draw, you probably don't really understand how things work in the US. So there's no point comparing to other countries. You probably want to read more about the situation in the US first.
Remember how someone sent them a 55 gallon drum of sexual lubricant? (I hope that was crowdfunding, that's a quarter ton of liquid!)
1. Why do 55 gallon drums of sexual lubricant exist?
2. Why are oil barrels 42 gallons but the default drum is 55? Is there some inherent property of petroleum that makes smaller containers preferable? (back when oil used literal barrels). Petroleum (especially light crude) is rather light.
3. Who the hell delivers to a (building) hostage situation? Does the deliveryman have to not be able to be fired for refusing and sign a form absolving their employer of liability for anything that might happen to them like being taken hostage, shot by a mentally ill militant etc.?
