Others are anachronistic because they deal with problems which were important at one time but which have ceased to be relevant to modern society.
The particular sections proposed for repeal are not all of the anachronistic or superseded sections in the New Jersey statutes.
ANACHRONISTIC STATUTES 4:21-8 to 4:21-10 - Trespass by swine These sections, dating from the early 19th century, provide remedies for trespass by swine, allowing slaughter of the offending animals and delivery of the meat to the county overseer of the poor.

 KCNA urges U.S. to drop its anachronistic policy toward DPRK
Last year they listed the DPRK as part of an "axis of evil" and as a target of their nuclear attack instead of giving up their anachronistic policy toward it, while openly calling for a "preemptive attack" in a desperate bid to increase their military pressure upon it.
But the Korean people have resolutely smashed the aggressive offensive of the enemies with a revolutionary principle and reliably defended the dignity and honor of the DPRK by further augmenting the might of the single-hearted unity under the banner of the army-based policy.
The DPRK is much stronger than what it was 50 years back and the single-hearted unity of the party, the army and people based on the idea of giving top priority to the army will remain unbreakable with the passage of time.

 The False Charge of 'Anachronism'
In earlier sections I have challenged the social constructionist position that it is anachronistic to regard anyone as being ‘homosexual’ before the nineteenth (or eighteenth) century, by demonstrating the existence of premodern conceptualizations of various people and categories that in my view are patently queer.
A modern allegedly ‘anachronistic’ reading of Dante holds that because Dante treats Brunetto Latini and the sodomites sympathetically in the Inferno, we can infer that Dante shared their homosexual feelings; but this same conclusion was drawn by an anonymous commentator in the fourteenth century and therefore cannot be called anachronistic.
The inversion of pronouns (and avoidance of gendered reference) is frequent in homosexual poetry, from John Addington Symonds who gave his lover the gondolier Angelo Fusato the name Stella and called him ‘she’ in the 1890s, to May Sarton who ‘bearded the pronouns’ in her 1961 sonnet sequence ‘A Divorce of Lovers’ (Faderman 1994).

Anachronistic Italy: cultural alliances and national identity in Cymbeline
Any confusion would have dissipated before too long, though, because by the end of the play Britain, despite having won the war, enters into a respectful partnership with Rome and agrees to pay the disputed tribute.
The mechanism by which Cymbeline enables this concluding alliance between ancient Britain and ancient Rome is the anachronistic interpolation of a decadent contemporary Italy into the action.

Blair once placed education at the heart of Labour's legacy - but now we have an anachronistic system that persists in accelerating division and breeding failure.
A child's realisation that although he may not be "brainy" he is still capable of doing well creates a resilience, optimism and desire to achieve, which Britain can ill afford to be without.

 SSRN-Federalizing the Tax-Free Merger: Toward an End to the Anachronistic Reliance on State Corporation Laws by Steven ...
The statutory merger requirement for "A" reorganizations is an anachronistic remnant of the 1930s belief that state corporation laws are effective regulators of corporate combinations and bulwarks against abuse of the tax-free reorganization provisions.
This reliance on state corporate law standards is not only inconsistent with the recently adopted check-the-box regulations and no longer much of a regulator of any kind, but also is counterproductive in that it introduces disparities of treatment between parties based on their location.
In light of the failed efforts to remove the A reorganization from the Code altogether, the Article concludes that the statutory merger requirement should be eliminated from the A reorganization so that a more uniform standard can be applied by the courts and the IRS.

 GEOBIOLOGY OF MASS EXTINCTION RECOVERY INTERVAL ANACHRONISTIC FACIES: MICROBIAL REEFS IN THE EARLY TRIASSIC   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
Others have reported "anachronistic" sedimentary features in carbonates including flat-pebble conglomerates (Wignall and Twitchett, 1999), ribbon-rock (Lehrmann, 1999) and normal marine stromatolites from the Western United States (Schubert and Bottjer, 1991).
Thus, the Early Triassic is not only a time of low diversity recovery faunas, but is also characterized by an unusual anachronistic sedimentary rock record.
Study of these anachronistic facies occurrences may provide a unique way of assessing the causal mechanisms involved with this extinction event and recovery.

 THE PROLONGED END-PERMIAN MASS EXTINCTION RECOVERY: ANACHRONISTIC FACIES AND ANOMALOUS ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
Aragonite seafloor precipitates, microbial reef mounds, ribbon rock and flat-pebble conglomerates are highly unusual, or ‘anachronistic’, in Phanerozoic time; these facies are more common in Archean/Proterozoic sediments and are rare in post-Cambrian strata.
Therefore, the periodic incursion of deep basin water with unusual ocean chemistry may have enhanced microbialite formation in the shallower environments.
The anomalous ocean chemistry, as evidenced by the occurrence of anachronistic facies as well as associated geochemical data, may have contributed to the slow recovery of metazoans throughout the Early Triassic in the aftermath of the end-Permian extinctions.

 Court ban on TV programme condemned as anachronistic : imprimer   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
Reporters Without Borders today condemned the banning of programme on the public TV station Televisión Nacional de Chile (TVN) on 23 July by a decision of the Santiago appeal court that was taken in response to a defamation suit.
"This is an utterly anachronistic case of censorship," said Reporters Without Borders secretary-general Robert Ménard, calling on the Chilean authorities to repeal the laws that give the courts such powers, and to thereby bring Chile’s legislation in line with both its own constitution and the international treaties it has signed.
Reporters Without borders has nine national sections (in Austria, Belgium, France, Germany, Italy, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, and the United Kingdom), representatives in Abidjan, Bangkok, Buenos Aires, Istanbul, Montreal, Moscow, New York, Tokyo and Washington and more than a hundred correspondents worldwide.

French Prime Minister Jean-Pierre Raffarin called the EU arms embargo against China "anachronistic" and "discriminatory", indicating it should be lifted by the end of June as planned.
"This measure is anachronistic, wrongfully discriminatory and in complete contradiction of the current state of the strategic partnership between Europe and China," he said, according to a transcript seen by AFP.
During his stay, Raffarin will also visit Shanghai and the northeastern industrial city of Shenyang, officials said.

And of course there's the thoroughly anachronistic B.C. with its somehow Christian cavemen (in BC?) with regular cameo appearances by the neighbourhood dinosaur.
Add to this numerous movies and TV shows which regularly put humans together with dinosaurs either through time travel, genetic engineering, or simply without explanation, and it is possible to see why coexistence is becoming the default assumption.

However, Darwin did not believe that his scientific theory mandated any particular theory of governance or social order.

 Alleged Anachronisms in the Bible
MacAlister also notes [88] that a passage in the OT refers to a Philistine "king" (1 Samuel 27:2) although the Philistines actually had a set of military lords rather than kings (other than perhaps Abimelech in Genesis 21, 26).
MacAlister doesn't think this is an anachronistic error, but rather, the OT writers "are obviously merely offering a Hebrew word or periphrasis as a translation of the native Philistine title." And he adds: "The same is true of analogous expressions in the Assyrian tablets." This sort of thing was normal praxis for the ancients.
Mentions of them before Judges are thought to be anachronistic.
