Kind of makes you want to stop obeying laws, doesn’t it?
I once mentioned to my father that most people are likely felons without realizing it because everyone will have violated a whole slew of laws they are unaware of or that are obscure/unenforced. He, being a conservative, became angry with me.
I can probably come up with a dozen felonies and goodness knows how many misdemeanors I’ve committed in my life, and I’m definitely not a menace to society.
None of these are violent or sexual in nature.
Exactly. The worst thing that most people do as far as common laws are concerned is speeding.
The real bad things that happen that are rarely enforced is spousal and child abuse, religious abuse, abuse from certain authorities, etc. These destroy lives.
God it feels good knowing we can actually say the solution to the world's ills out loud here. You'd get banned from Reddit and YouTube for saying the people ruining our planet need to stub their toes.
You say that, and poof, 2 hours later that post is mysteriously "removed".
~~Weird i can still see it. Does lemmy save comments on a per instance basis or something?~~
just checked it on a different device, fucking hell. people need to leave .world, its just another reddit and has been since i started browsing lemmy.
It was removed here. I can only guess.

Feel free to say #eattherich rhetoric all you want there. I don't put up with .world's blatantly obvious corporate shill shit.
EDIT: From the modlog, here's the deleted comment.
Hi there! Looks like you linked to a Lemmy community using a URL instead of its name, which doesn't work well for people on different instances. Try fixing it like this: !benjamingetthemusket@lemmy.cafe
I’m a commoner and I haven’t lobbied any lawmakers, so the law still applies to me
Who obeys the stupid laws??
I haven't set anything on fire yet.
You wouldn't download a car, a House, two beautiful women or their chi...you know a highrise I mean. You wouldn't download a highrise or a jet plane or two really hot babes. right?
Is…is this an option? Asking for a casual acquaintance.
I don't know, have you guys developed the quantum teleportation reflux trackrowave transmission elometer yet? Cuz you're gonna need at least three of those in a bisiouscope to download anything of value really. And if you're looking at porn, dude, zoom out until the entire body is in view. It's a warning you must heed. Otherwise you better figure out how to get rid of body parts if you know what I mean.
I'm just this here: Eco-Defense

Get out of here troll
Go to bed, you have a 12h shift at 6am tommorow.
I do not, I woke up at 8:50 this morning.
I think the voting system has established that you’re the troll.
I still think it's you. A lot of foreign actors want the U.S. system to collapse. Maybe you're not, but your earlier comment sure sounded like it. People are downvoting me bcz they misunderstood what my comment was directed at. I actually agree with the sentiment, but ignoring all of our laws outright is a good way to have no government at all.
Doesn’t it make you feel like the law is less important when all these rich cunts are breaking laws left and right, that would send you to jail real fast, and no one seems to do anything about it?
