</p>
<p>So they should steal if they think there is nothing wrong with it?</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>These types of analogies are not productive. If you really think there is a “victim” involved when a 20-year-old buys one canned Margarita with a friend’s ID, and that 20-year-old is a threat to society, then I guess he ought to be locked up. I just don’t see it.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>It doesn’t matter if you don’t see it. Let’s say I tell a police officer that I don’t see why I can’t go 50 in a 35 because I can drive safely going 50. Sound silly huh?</p>
<p>Why aren’t they productive? In both instances, the laws were broken.</p>
<p>There doesn’t have to be victim involved just because a law is broken. So if I pass a car in a school zone and there is no victim then that is fine?</p>
<p>No, it is not the same because those speeding violations are strict liability offenses.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>You’re right, it is even less of an offense than obtaining alcohol illegally.</p>
<p>So it is fine if I pass a car in a school zone if there is no victim?</p>
<p>Prostitution is a victimless crime. Should they be allowed to roam the streets?</p>
<p>Let’s say I want to walk around naked in a public place. That’s a victimless crime. That’s also fine?</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>These are not victimless crimes. Prostitution exploits women and degrades the neighborhood. People who cannot avoid viewing your naked body are victims. :)</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Prostitution is a victimless crime. Who is it hurting?</p>
<p>Walking around nakes is a victimless crime. Again, who is it hurting?</p>
<p>If you are willing to take the risk of “breaking the law” that is up to you.</p>
<p>As a parent, I’ve done my due diligence with my 2 kids. They know right from wrong and the consequences that come with THEIR decisions.</p>
<p>Insomniatic - you are NOT here to have a conversation, you are here to push buttons and to be just antagonistic. </p>
<p>Where is that dead horse when you need it? ;)</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>I am? How so?</p>
<p>If you read the whole thread, there are actually other people who agree with me.</p>
<p>I just don’t understand how some parents see nothing wrong if their children possesses a fake ID or uses their friends ID, and obtains alcohol illegally.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>I agree, I think he is sitting back having a few jagerbombs and laughing at all of us old folk.</p>
<p>lol. I feel sorry for him. I think he’s lonely.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>I just got done drinking a 6 pack of Bud. lol</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>It’s not silly at all, Prohibition was a major assault on individual freedom in the US. If a law was passed banning 50+ year old males from drinking beer, I would certainly deliberately disobey it.</p>
<p>I started to read this thread and I had to abandon it…I just could’nt take anymore. It sounds like insomniatic needs a good nights sleep and than he needs to reread his posts.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>But drinking alcohol isn’t a civil right.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>What couldn’t you take? What did I say wrong?</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Maybe you should look up the right to privacy. Also examine the development of lifestyle discrimination legislation.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Again, you are bringing things up that have nothing to do with this discussion.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>No need to feel sorry for me because there is nothing to feel sorry about.</p>
<p>I am a HS student and lots of my friends have fake IDs. I think it’s silly and that if they really want booze they should just buy it the traditional “sneaky” ways (get someone else to do it). There’s a big line crossed once you start using fake IDs IMO.</p>
<p>
What about pot? The only difference between Prohibition and the illegality of marijuana is social acceptance.</p>
