yeah great idea. criminalise everything. had your freedom to the state. the american dream
If you're worried about the American dream I have shit loads of horrible news for you since you haven't been paying attention for the last 40 fucking years apparently.
Being able to be a cheating shitbag with no consequences should be the least of your concerns at this point.
Yet somehow you're arguing to make it worse.
Hope your life never gets destroyed by a cheater, enjoy your ignorance.
Ahhh
Now it makes sense.
If someone cheated on you. Go live your best life. Because there's something else that commonly happens to guys if they don't, and it seems to be what's happening here
I don't think anyone is saying that it's ok and there should be no consequences, just that it's not a matter for the law. The law isn't really about what's moral and immoral. There are plenty of immoral things that are legal and moral things that are illegal. I think it's wrong to cut in line but I don't think we should be locking people up for it. I also think in many cases stealing is morally justifiable but I don't necessarily think we should make stealing legal.
IDK, you might be onto something here.
This is why we need to bring back stockades. Perfect punishment for that kind of shit. Just lock someone up in public let people deride them and throw vegetables at them all day and then let them go.
Pointing to other bad decisions to justify your bad decisions is a bad look no matter what, friend.
