There are things that are considered wrong by a lot of people, however, one cannot do anything about them because they don't violate the law. Keeping that in mind, I asked the Bored Panda community to share some examples of what they think should be illegal but is not. Apparently, there are many things!

Here are the responses from our Pandas. What do you think should be illegal but is not? Let me know in the comments!

#1

Children's beauty pageants - parading kids in lipstick and padded bikinis - is wrong.

The best gender reveal party would involve popping a balloon that sprinkled biodegradable purple confetti, followed by "Yakkity Sax" blasting on speakers while a couple people in fairy wings skip around with signs that say "Gender is a social construct," "Kids are more than gender," and "Ask me about my personally signed copy of Judith Butler's Gender Trouble."

It's slave labour and why keep somebody on once the internship is over when you can hire somebody else for nothing. Also it discriminates against people who don't have parents to financially support them while carrying out an unpaid internship.

I think that child marriage (marriage below 18) should be illegal with NO exceptions. It creates so much trouble for the kids, yet so many states still have many loopholes. Only a few have a strict ban. NO parental consent, NO exceptions, and KEEP it that way. Sometimes it is used to keep a rapist out of jail because the child is pregnant. There was actually a case, by the way, where a girl's father or mother had her married because her boyfriend got her pregnant while drunk. She only consented because she loved him, and she was happy to be a mother. Sadly, the child miscarried during the wedding, but her folks never got punished for this. Instead, they went to a different state to get consent from a judge. Man, life is wrong!

The gay panic defense (in some states is banned, most not though). Basically, it’s legal for someone to MURDER a gay person if they claim that they had an “uncontrollable reaction” to seeing a gay person. Yeah. I believe the men who murdered Matthew Shephard tried to use this defense.

Dude… not all people who don’t do vaccines are nutballs. Our family is accepting and logical, we believe in science and love and BLM. We don’t believe “Bud light is my vacseen”, we don’t act like redneck idiots, in fact we do the opposite. We don’t think they turn you homosexual. There are simply too many negative possibilities and not many that are positive. There are some perfectly logical scientists and parents who had lovely, healthy children until they got vaccines and things started happening. Plenty of doctors confirmed that the cause of death was because they had a reaction to the vaccine. There are just a LOT of chemicals that can undermine your immune responses in there and we just don’t take them. And you know what? We are WAY healthier that any family I’ve ever MET. We did get the COVID shot, because that’s actually necessary, but we just don’t bother with minor things. We eat very well. We eat fruit, veggies, we get lots of vitamins and minerals. We get protein. We got it.

Bro this one I'm so tired of hearing. 😭 Yeah, some vaccines are good, but a lot of people can't take any or certain ones because of mental or physical health conditions. They do more harm than good sometimes. It's why you hear parents say "Vaccines cause autism." NO. THEY DON'T. IT JUST MAKES WHAT IS ALREADY THERE WORSE. Like genuinely, people who don't have any type of autism or ADHD like me and my family and friends will NEVER f*****g understand.

As much as I agree that feeding misleading or false information to large groups of people who know more about the Kardashian family than their own elected public officials is bad, I also feel that taking away anyone's right to free speech is wrong. Maybe a solution would be to steer away from attempting to sensor media and more toward effective and thoughtful media interpretation techniques. Just because a person doesn't share my views or opinions in no way makes them "wrong".

Regulation is the means by which the wealthy and powerful use government to protect their market share. The notion of a "well-regulated free market" is oxymoronic. As information technology expands, economies are increasingly able to be controlled not by regulation, but by informed choices. So Google, Facebook, Microsoft, Disney, GM, Exxon, etc., urgently convince people that they need more regulation. Absent governmental controls (like 100-year copyrights, frivolous patents, etc.), wealth and power will obey the law of entropy.

I mean, simply stating here, it’s controversial bc while it does give other small cities and states better recognition, it also was enacted bc America was founded by rich white men who did not want the poor white men “interfering”with the government. So if it was created to keep “uneducated” opinions from tainting the presidential vote, is it really still necessary in a society full of much more educated people than there were in the 18th century? Guess it really kind of depends on knowledge extents and educated opinions.

I personally believe that a person who committed one crime should be given a second chance. But some people are irredeemable . A person who has raped and killed 3 infants should never set foot on the streets again. (To out an example). Since keeping people locked for life is cruel and expensive I don’t see why death penalty shouldn’t be an option for them. Maybe it could be a choice for the inmate to never be free again or to die. (I would chose the second)

Three things that generate a lot of waste: 1) Designed obsolescence (i.e. the old model and parts don't work because we made an unnecessary change to the new model, Ex: iPhone requires special accessories that only work with iPhone plug....and then new iPhone has a new plug so you have to buy new accessories); 2) Inability for the consumer to repair what the manufacturer CAN repair (i.e. we won't sell you the small parts that are broken, you have to buy a whole new assembly, even though we make the assembly from the small parts that you need., Ex: you can't buy a replacement battery for your phone, you have to buy a new phone); 3) Unnecessary new models that drive consumerism without actually benefitting the consumer. (i.e. a "new" model car comes out every year, but meaningful changes for that model only happen every ~5+ years, maybe ~3 years for cars)

You want to make this ILLEGAL? I 100% agree we should respect people's choice but think it through - as soon as it's illegal, you're guilty even if you forgot or accidentally use the wrong pronoun. What would you make the punishment be?

Using the term ‘Chinese Virus’.
It creates so much hatred, lays blame on people around the world who aren’t even involved. Everyone is a victim in this pandemic. Viruses don’t discriminate, everyone gets sick.

The entire body of Patent and Copyright law should be thrown out in the Comuputer Age. It now serves stockholders, not creative people, and keeps them from collaborating. Rather than supporting an army of lawyers, we could track the contributors to successful works of all kinds, and recognize them with enough money to continue their work from general revenue.

Gas-powered leaf blowers. The engines are filthy, producing hundreds of times more pollution than a car engine. They're dangerously loud to the user and those nearby, but are even annoyingly loud from hundreds of feet away. And most morons who use them always use the highest setting, blasting dirt and pollen a hundred feet around and two stories into the air. Using them to move large amounts of wet leaves in the fall makes some sense, but they’re more often used to blow dirt around, scouring the top soil off the ground, destroying insect and small animal habitat, or just raising a giant dust cloud in an urban environment.

I would extend the ban: 2-stroke engine powered weed whackers and hedge trimmers are as annoying as leaf blowers.

It should be illegal for a governor/state legislature/mayor to reverse a proposition voted in by their constituents.

Political correctness.
We have specific words to describe things for the purposes of accuracy. Sometimes the truth hurts. Abandoning accuracy simply for the purposes of sparing someone's feelings is in essence sacrificing the truth for emotion...it is feeding delusion. There has not been a more destructive social force in human interaction than this.

I completely agree. BP is unfortunately a hive of extreme political correctness, so don't expect to be popular around here.

Free speech. It isn't pleasant but most of us do it. What annoys me the most is somebody reporting back to the victim what gossip is being said and it's the one doing the reporting back who is usually the instigator of the gossip or they have claimed that the third party was talking bad about the victim.

Because I feel we outlaw to much that should be personal choice, I'm gonna say they should remain legal. Lol. But I understand the feeling behind it. They have gotten truly awful and I refuse to watch any of them.

Neighbours who constantly slam doors deliberately to make a noise as they think the street is too quiet. The front door frame should be altered so their front door is a swing door that only shut when locked and so can't be slammed. And only have plastic concertina doors inside their home. Or who have loud TV or music on late at night when they could use headphones. The same ones who have blaring music out of wide open windows when it's warm and then swig cheap beer all day as they are thirsty when they could be drinking tea, water or juice.
