Hey Pandas, What Is Something That Needs To Be Considered Illegal? (Closed)

I’m making a new post again, but I am bored. So, I want to hear your opinions on what needs to be illegal. I don’t want to see drug dealing or inappropriate responses (I.e. literally asking for nudes), but I’m fine with everything else. So, what should be illegal?

I'll probably get hate for this
Tobacco cigarettes. There is absolutely no health benefits, no good reason cigarettes exist. I could go on a tangent, but I'm sure we've all heard everything I could say about them.

I agree, and I’m an American. I am so afraid to go to school anymore because I’m afraid of someone attacking our school. There was one student who brought a gun on the bus last year, but nothing happened.

Recording and posting every freaking thing on social media.

There's someone dying on the road and is in need for help, but people choose to record it. There's a child getting bullied, and the other idiots in the school start recording it and sharing it all over WhatsApp, Snapchat etc. There are two people fighting on the road, you go live on Instagram. Someone goes online to find that there are photos and videos of them posted without consent.

This should be illegal!

yesss!!!! any irreversible cosmetic surgeries should be at least 18+, I know a girl who got a cosmetic double mastectomy when she was TWELVE, regretted it only a few years later. kids aren't old enough to consent to body & life-altering surgeries and drugs!

won't go into detail but a group of people started mocking and videoing a bunch of police officers who were injured yet didn't serve much jailtime because no laws had been enforced on such crime (unless you were directly involved in the incident)
basically, it should be illegal to video others physical suffering for the purpose of comedy

Defunding the police should be illegal. We need reform. If we defund the police, then more people don’t want to work as an officer, and prisons will get worse, and crime will go up, and our nation will become unstable. Not all police officers are evil! Not all officers are black hating whites! Many officers love their job and need the money in order to support their family! Police risk their lives! Let’s help the police reform, not get defunded!

Executive salaries should be a defined percentage of the minimum wage earner in the same company. Maybe 1/100th of the CEO's remuneration?
That way if they get a raise the lowest paid workers do too benefit.

A few things I find kind of nonsensical, although these would be impossible to be made illegal, since if there are human beings existing there will be jerks and criminals.

1. Sexism and just general nonsense. And plus, women want EQUAL treatment with men, not HIGHER treatment of men. So I disagree with feminists just as the same as thinking-women-are-inferior stupid men, even if I’m biologically female. But it’s proving impossible since the working society, bluntly, dislikes women. People, it’s just a gender. If you treat a person by their gender and not as an unique human being, you are an a******e and you deserve to have a better education.

2. Racism. Why? Just why? As an Asian student I’ve been getting a lot of downright ridiculous stuff like delusional people saying I don’t get to exist and I should burn in hell. Tempting, but no thanks. I understand it’s YOUR country and stuff, but guess what I’m not doing anything wrong. I’m completely harmless. I’m just a freaking student who would always be the one being picked on. And people who judge people by skin color, accents and cultural differences to themselves, you STILL deserve a better education.

3. Arrogance and general rudeness, inconsiderate speaking, tactless remarks and stuff. It’s just some stuff everyone dislikes. It’s impossible to ban but still. And also it’s so RUDE to say ‘I didn’t mean it, why are you so sensitive’ to friends/partner. If you’ve been tactless and said rude or hurtful things ONCE it’s okay, everyone makes mistakes. But THAT doesn’t mean a friends’ dignity is to be STOMPED on. I don’t know if I’m the only one who seems to be a toxic friend magnet, but if a loved one ( be it friends, BFFs or family )constantly belittles you, you need to be careful around them and don’t harm yourself further. This is long. But there’s a freaking reason I nearly got depression.

I am a Christian but I agree. Our society is full of many cultures and religions and many people have no religion, so why should there be laws that enforce one. I think it does need to include laws about not discriminating anyone based on religion or lack there of either obviously.

It is illegal, it just gets filed under varying crimes (disorderly conduct, indecent exposure, etc). Even so, as previous commenter said, many businesses will not let certain people in to use a restroom, especially the homeless. Not supporting public urination, but it is not a simple "make it illegal," you have to keep in mind who is doing it the most, why, and if their reason is unreasonable enough to criminalize them for it.

It is where I live- well actually they can drive, but only as a supervised learner. You can't get your probationary license until you are 18. The largest section of people who are involved in car accidents is still probationary drivers, but it is getting better. You have to do at least 120 hours supervised driving before you can get your license and as a p-plater (probationary, first 3-4 years of license) there are many restrictions for example 0 blood alcohol limit, number of passengers allowed, restrictions on high performance vehicles.

How about hiding the posts and restricting the postings of down voted people? The poster asked a question, we are answering. Or do our answers have to be popular or PC? Is that it? Ask me a question but only allow me to answer a certain way? For a forum that seems to be anti fascist, there seems to be a bit or fascist tendencies being practiced.

ANY non-essential surgery under 21, in my opinion. unless it's completely necessary, like breast cancer or something, NO-ONE should be getting irreversible operations at an age where they can't properly consent. same goes for life-altering drugs.

I think it should be illegal for bicyclists to be able to do whatever they want. Where I live, they refuse to use the lovely, well kept bike trail, instead using the tiny 2 lane road that is 10 feet away, and not using the bike lane on roads that do have marked lanes. They also blast through every stop sign on the trail (it's too difficult to stop & start again, they say) and half of the time ignore other traffic laws.
