Let’s remember that there is no such thing as a victimless crime.
Let’s not. Many crimes are victimless, from begging to assisted suicide. If Sainsbury’s sells me a case of San Miguel at 09.55 on a Sunday, they’re breaking the law. And the victim is????
Many laws which make harmless behaviour illegal are simply based on opinions about morality, and petty, small-minded, religiously informed opinions at that.
Some on here are so quick to moralise about a footballer’s past and question his present, while cheerleading for some of the biggest political criminals around.
Do you remember the Eddie Murphy film; Trading Places.
Many ‘beggars’ have homes and indeed cars that they own!
Assisted Suicide is legal in some countries – we’ve all heard of Dignitas?
“including Austria, Belgium, Canada, Germany, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, New Zealand, Portugal, Spain, Switzerland, parts of the United States and all six states of Australia.
The constitutional courts of Colombia, Germany and Italy legalized assisted suicide, but their governments have not legislated or regulated the practice yet.”
It’ll be legal in the UK in the not so distant future.
