double-dipping your dessert sausage into the fish oil bucket
Everyone not having access to a 1-bedroom apartment or living space that is all theirs and affordable. So much crime is because people are forced to live with others they shouldn’t be around and can’t get along with in a shared living space.
Additionally, so many people are driven by the fear of homelessness so they just suck it up to their detriment until they snap and go really nuts and end up with shelter either way
Are you saying what should be legal but isnt?Whoops my bad, curse this episodic dyslexia
Minor being member of religious (or political) organization
They’re basically the same. I’d extent that to outright banning of any religion. Believe whatever you want, but the moment people gather and share the same “true faith”, things get ugly.
That’s not necessary. What’s needed is to treat religious beliefs as a personal choice, and no more. You can get protection from being discriminated against based on your beliefs so long as it doesn’t extend past actual disadvantage (so yes to not being disadvantaged in your workplace for being religious, but no to not wanting to bake a cake for gay people). Other than that, your religion buys you nothing. No ‘medical exemptions’, no special treatment, and especially no influence on other people’s lifestyle choices. True freedom of religion also means freedom from religion. It stays in your home and place of worship. In public, in government, in education and healthcare, religion does not exist.
Sorry, but religion has nothing to do with beliefs. Why do people always mix those? There’s also a difference between stealing for hunger and joining a drug cartel. You join a religion and take over their “beliefs”.
Religion is for the mentally handicapped who can’t think for themselves but need a group who tells them what to think. So they feel “connected”.
Besides that intermixing of terms, you’re not wrong. Have a belief. We all believe something, even if it’s nothing. I even love talking about people’s beliefs. As long as they’re in no cult (or religion), as i don’t want to interact with those. It’s like talking with a plant.
I would also specify that your religion doesn’t get to negatively (and of there’s any confusion about what is negative, err on the side of caution) impact their children in any way. Otherwise, as children are a very vulnerable group that will grow into an adult, it’s just a loophole for religious people to continue to propagate their religion without arguing against an opponent qualified to actually think sceptically, or commit harms against minors unable to protect themselves.
First step to achieving that is banning homeschooling - way too many people use that as a way to avoid their children getting educated about stuff they don’t want them to know.
And religious schools in general, banning the private school exemption.
Small print, excessive legalese and outright deceptive language in ads, agreements and such. All the “free” (not really free) trials, “unlimited” (not really unlimited) plans, “best value” (according to the producer and their mum) deals and shit like that.
There really should be a law prohibiting that - if reading through terms and conditions for using a damn website or a toothbrush or whatever requires 4 hours of free time, a magnifyibg glass and degree in law, such t&cs should be illegal. Same for disclaimers and such in ads - any 4pt text displayed for 2 seconds on screen should automatically result in a massive fine.
Being noisy in public.
“Disturbing the peace” you mean?
Ugh yes, and ban scooters and motors as well, they make such a ridiculous amount of noise compared to their speed.
Also ban talking on the street, public transport, and trees. All of these can be very noisy, and I can’t stand it! Oh and bikes too, their bells are very infuriating, especially when it’s bad and rings all the time… and better not let your kids play in the front of the yard!
Seriously, I have seen loud motors, but haven’t any loud scooters. Which one do you think is loud?
In my experience cars and newborns are louder, not by a little margin, just to give a few examples.Yes please. People should shut up in public transportat and other crammed public places.
That’s why I said compared to their speed. I don’t know any brands or example models, all of them are obnoxiously loud and driven by simple minded fools imho. Cars make relatively little noise, and newborns and trees do not belong in this comparison in my opinion.
Edit: tried to find a picture, seems these are not universally called scooters even though they are where I live. I mean models like this: https://www.scooterforyou.nl/wp-content/uploads/2015/10/34_G7_99_KISBEESPORTLINE-1.jpg
Oh I see, about those, I can agree that they are relatively loud. I was thinking about the “rolling metal posts” at first.
Sorry for being rude
No worries, it appears that most of the world uses the word “scooter” differently than we do in the Netherlands :-) with your definition of scooter I agree that my statement was ridiculous haha.
Yeah, I think many people thought you were talking about those electric scooters, which are, well pretty damn silent and good to make cities less car focused (like in the US). I mean things like this.
Yeah it’s my bad as apparently most of the world uses the word differently :-) I’m a big fan of electric vehicles, both the noise and pollution are reduced which is great!
When you are in a political position you are not allowed to lie.
We have to develop the technology to perfectly detect lies and give everyone who wants to be in office a collar which gives them seizures when lying.
Every Parlament around the world would look like a Harlem shake gone wrong.
Rent seeking and usury (the charging of interest)
Without charging of interest, why would a bank lend you money?
Also you would not get interest on money you have in the bank.
I agree that limits on charged interest on loans are needed, but abolishing them completely would destroy a big part of our society.
Usury means a paticoularly high interest rate.
Also, destroying a big part of our society sounds great!
It might sound great untill it starts affecting you or someone you care about
My aunt works in oil, if it was made illegal tomorrow that wpuld dirsupt her life. I would be glad to help her and glad that the future of everybody just got brighter?
If oil was made illegal tomorrow, society would collapse.
Supply chains would collapse, artificial fertilizer would not be made, crops would die, massive famine would set in, medicine would not be able to be made, power generation would stall, including emergeny generators, and vast numer of people would die globally.
Congratulations, who ever makes oil illegal, will be responsible for the biggest mass death globally ever.
Thanks for making me feel smarter.

Eh… where? This seems like a very location-specific question.
if no location is given, assume an american asked the question without realizing there’s more to the world
No just answer for your location or name global/international examples.
What is this rest of the world you speak of?

Killing animals for pleasure.
Edit: I love how the voting discrepancy here shows the hypocrisy lol
This is generally illegal and heavily fined as well. Depends on where you live, I guess.
Trophy hunting, after all this time, is still legal and big business.
Does your country not allow hunting?
Hunting isn’t purely done for fun, it is also done to harvest meat
In my country it’s mostly done for fun.
So people go out, shoot a deer and just leave it there?
Seems like an extreme waste to me…
It’s usually not that much extra effort to take the carcass and bring it to a butcher, so they do that sometimes. But yeah. Often, just leave it.
It’s actually not all that bad because we have a lack of natural predators (because we already hunted them almost to extinction) so hunting keeps the deer population from exploding.
Ok, so they also do make a good deed in adition to just hunting.
and ecological conservation
Absolutely, the biggest nature lovers in my family are all hunters, they enjoy being in the woods, they enjoy seeing animals, they follow the rules to only harvest as much they are allowed and only during the season permitted.
It’s generally legal and heavily subsidised. See also animal agriculture.
that’s not killing for pleasure.
Sustenance is different from pleasure
So you agree that if it isn’t for sustenance, in the case where you can just simply eat something else, it should be illegal?
no one said that. you’re making a leap of logic.
It was a question. I said that.
Sustenance doesn’t mean “the only thing available”.
Look, I’m excited for lab-grown meat. I’ve reduced my meat consumption significantly over the last year or two. I may not be “in your camp” exactly, but I’m an ally. And it’s probably better to earn and keep allies than to argue semantics in an adversarial way. Win more flies with honey and all that.
I assume you agree o the general statement “Animals shouldn’t be killed for pleasure.”
If you then have two options for food, one including animal meat and one without, all other things being equal, even nutrition wise, then how is it not “for pleasure” to chose the option with meat?
Killing for pleasure implies hunting for sport.
Chopping up a cow so that tons of people can buy its meat is different than someone hunting bears for sport and leaving the corpse where it lands.
for most people making taht decision does not involve killing anything. both options have already been harvested and presented.
Also depends on which animals
Taste pleasure.
Lies and exaggerated advertising.
No, it’s not “best in the world” or “lightning fast”, it’s an entry level $200 GPU!
No, it doesn’t have “crystal clear high-res screen”, it’s just a budget phone!
No, that tampon will not change my lifestyle!
No, that perfume will not make guys drooling over me!
I’m ok with “it’s decent quality with an affordable price”.
I’m ok with “it’s the best budget-friendly option”.
I’m ok with “it’s not the best in the world, but it’s definitely worth a try”.
I personally think the “how good is it” part of “advertising” should literally just be a percentage value of “how many existing customers say it was worth it”.
But even that would get gamed the way 5/5 amazon reviews can be bought today already.
So maybe it should really just be “it’s a insert thing made out of insert material produced in insert country by insert labour conditions and it costs insert price”.
Private cars in cities.
They’re noisy, unhealthy, cause massive damage to infrastructure, transport one person at a time while taking up enough space for ~10 in the road, fill open spaces for parking, sometimes while being completely unusable, endanger everyone else on the roads…I’m a fan of a nested zone approach. City center, no cars, pedestrians, bikes and busses only.
A few blocks away, compact cars only.
A few more blocks from that, all cars, no trucks or SUVs
A few more from that, All cars trucks and SUVs allowed, no trailers.
Absolutely outer edge, drive whatever you want.
