A variant of Godwin's Law: As an online discussion of gun owners' rights grows longer, the probability of an ad hominem attack involving penis size approaches 1.
Person 1: I carry a gun to try to keep my family and I safe by exercising a Constitutionally-protected natural right.
Person 2: Hah! You carry a gun because you have a small penis, and you are trying to make up for it!
Person 1: Well, I guess Markley's Law is still true.

As any form of interaction grows longer, the probability of the topic switching to internet memes approaches 1.
"So, did you do anything yesterday evening?"
"Nothing special, went on a double date."
"DOUBLE DATE ALL THE WAY!"

The day Martial Law is declared, is the day you wake up and realize that your Constution/bill of Rights/Charter of Rites and Freedoms/etc. is really just about as valuable as that Kleenex you just spunked in... because rites are just privileges, and privileges can be revoked. Your government will do whatever it takes to stay in power, and they got the gunz...
Martial Law can be recognized by the increased presence of men with plexiglass shields and/or sub-machine-guns, a pale green fog that tastes, smells and feels like burning, random acts of hippy clubbing and indiscriminate shooting into crowds.
If your going to "get your loot on" its best to do it during the Preceding state of emergency, because once Martial Law is declared, the party's over. Usually once Martial Law is declared, its best to just stay home, tune into your local state-owned media outlet and do what they say. The punishment for most criminal offenses becomes summary execution, and most of the things you might do out in public become criminal offenses.
Looting = criminal offense = shot on sight
Exercising freedom of speech= criminal offense= disappeared (shot out of sight)
looking like you might be a 'rebel' = criminal offense = a. shot on sight or b. disappeared
On the street after curfew = criminal offense = shot on sight
Looking at the officer the wrong way = criminal offense = shot on sight
If you must go out, try not to wear that 'Rage Against the Machine' tee-shirt, red stars, or clenched-fist logos, as these may attract unwanted bursts of well-aimed fire in your direction.
Remember that meeting you went to back in college? Where the guy at the front was talking about "property is theft" this, and "smash the state" that? Which you attended just so you could meet that cute outspoken Alternachick from your poli-sci class? Well, I hope she put out because thats the reason you have to agents beating on you with a phone book, trying to get a confession out of you... in the washroom of a stadium-turned-detention center. Was she worth it? (tip: just confess, the electrodes are next and a tap to the back of the head hurts less).

An epiphany of cognition that supersedes all reason. It is akin to thisness and whatness; is the law actually a law, or just the thought of what a law is? You will only know if it has happened, after it has happened. It requires no translation; no correlations; no other relevancy. It just is.
Anything that only makes sense to the person doing it is Maslin Law. For instance, a person who insists on playing a drinking game by a rule or rules which no one has ever heard of, Maslin Law. You can only witness examples of Maslin Law after it has happened.

Finnbell's law (also known as Finnbell's Rule of Ladyboys) is an assertion made by Finnbell in December of 2013 that has become an Internet adage on the ladyboyspattaya forum. It states: "As an online discussion grows longer, the probability of a comparison involving ladboys or level of gayness approaches. In other words, Finnbell said, “I am involved in an anthropological study on transgenders in Thailand specifically related to the sex industry and how they are perceived in general society so I do consider my opinion to sometimes be more valid than some”. Many have refuted this and would consider him a self appointed expert. Finnbell inevitably makes a comparison to ladyboys and their level of sexuality or the level of gayness as it relates to the forum members. Stating that, “I have had many different forms of interactions between ladyboys and society that most have never seen.” “My posts in relation to certain topics would be similar to a topic about how bars work and if an owner of a bar posted. Are they called know it alls?”
Although in one of its early forms Finnbell's law referred specifically to the ladyboyspattaya forum discussions and has been invoked for the inappropriate use of ladyboy related analogies in articles or speeches. Finnbell is also considered by some to be the Dr. Phil of the ladyboy world and suffers greatly from the Dunning-Kruger Effect. In December of 2013, "Finnbell's Law" became an entry in the first edition of the Urban Dictionary.

According to Finnbell's Law; Femboys is a western term of course with western concepts but has been applied to the gay and transgender culture of Thailand. In non-p4p culture there is a much more defined community with most ladyboys being Kathoeys and in most cases having the money to stay on hormones and having much more subtle surgeries to make them look more feminine. The femboys seem to transition back and forth from the male side never making the full identity change to female. In p4p, things do change a bit due to the nature of the industry. Lines get blurred a bit as you get femboys, gay transvestites, ladyboys, kathoeys and the pure gay guys dressing up as LBs to get more work. Femboys are femboys and not kathoeys for one specific reason, sexual identity at that time because in p4p you get a lot of kathoeys who are transitioning and can be in a non-hormone taking phase because she cant afford it. Maybe a year passes and now we see her with hormone tits then a year later she has breast implants then a year later she has the chop. A very common tale in p4p pretty amazing that we get to witness these transformations sometimes. Simply put no, femboys identify as male, kathoeys as female but they both can look alike which is why I don't go for too many without at least hormone tits because you're right they aren't going to tell you they are not actual kathoeys.

A philosophical theory proposed by philosopher Patrick D. Barlow in 2016:
"If you can talk about it, you can joke about it."
For example: women, mongoloids, and everything in-between is okay to joke about unless you choose to ignore them completely... which in that case just makes you a politically correct douche-rocket.
