Do you question why certain things are illegal?

 

Tell us what you think shouldn't be illegal... and why.

driving a car without a license when you can drive a car

I can drive a car, driving lessons are way too expensive and the exams suck

Lovehearts.

Surely you mean 'driving a car without a license when you can drive a car', then.

And I still disagree.

 

 

Marijuana, for obvious reasons.

That's what I mean, I will edit my post

Ticket scalping.

If entertainers don't charge the proper amount dictated by supply/demand, that's their fault.

It could also be interesting to have a 'things that should be illegal' thread, but Mark would make it about Gaga.

I'm probably gonna get bashed for this.

 

 

 

 

prostitution

 

 

 

What's wrong with getting paid for something that is perfectly okay to do for free?

 

^ That's legal here, just like marijuana

I'm all for it being legalised.

Not something I'd ever use though.

But if I was the kind of person who would or wanted to offer my own services, I'd want to be able to do it in a legal and in theory safer way.

^ That's legal here

 

Some U.S. laws are a steaming pile of poo.

Oh, but it's legal in Las Vegas. :shifty:

It's weird how you can have porn stars but not prostitutes.

It's also weird how everyone in porn is a star.

Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeed 18+ :yummy:

'Porn-worker' is the term for porn actors who aren't established as 'stars'.

 

I read that on a leaflet in the street. Yeah.

Hm. :thinking:

 

Definitely a lower alcohol age limit (if that counts for this thread. . .?).

It's my opinion that by having it so high (for those that don't know, drinking age is 21) people are more likely to:

 

a) Drink it when they're younger and not have a clue about what they're doing (I mean drinking in excess, combining certain liqueurs)

b) Go crazy and get alcohol poisoning when they finally reach 21

c) See alcohol at a party and not care what it is, so long as they're drinking alcohol and fitting in

NOT TO START THE WHOLE ABORTION ARGUMENT *flails arms*

but imo:

 

 

It's illegal to get an abortion here (except for medical purposes). It's still illegal even if the pregnancy is a result of rape.

So Ireland needs to get it's shit together with that.

 

Aswell as other countries, there's no exceptions in some places.

Not to mention the blasphemy law, I can no longer travel over the border and shout "GODS A BIT OF A DICK" out the window like I used to every summer. :(

I agree with abortion being legal, though didn't even think of it since it's legal here.

I'm probably gonna get bashed for this.

Why would you get bashed for that? That's totally sensible.

 

Anything that doesn't harm another human being should be legal, because laws are just opinions with guns. Who am I to judge what you do with your life, and who are you to judge me for what I do with mine? If somebody else wants to snort cocaine off a hooker's ass, in what way does that affect me? It doesn't, and therefore I don't have the right to judge.

 

"There's no way to rule innocent men. The only power any government has is the power to crack down on criminals. Well, when there aren't enough criminals, one makes them. One declares so many things to be a crime that it becomes impossible to live without breaking laws."

oh yeah that thing hahaha Ireland you asshole.

 

This is from wiki

"In Ireland, blasphemy is prohibited by the constitution and carries a maximum fine of €25,000. A controversial law was passed on 9 July 2009 and went into effect on 1 January 2010. However, in March 2010, it was announced that there would be a constitutional amendment referendum held about whether or not to maintain the existing prohibition"

 

when is/was this referendum?

 

and I wonder if anyone has been fined :surprised:

What?

:laugh3::laugh3::laugh3:

Jesus Christ!

USING THE LORD'S NAME IN VAIN ^

that would be a €25,000 fine if you were here.

they do not realize that the child will already be condemned by the society. because is unwanted by the father and mother so will end up being a criminal

there is adoption, but it is terrible to have no identity.

So the state Ireland is immature in its comprtement to his people
