Victim-less crime...

I believe this is considered a common law ...

In other states where it is illegal, assisted suicide is punishable when another person participates in the suicide ...
Examples are providing substances to complete suicide &/or place them in the person's mouth ...
These can be tried in court of law as a "mercy killing" or "murder" ...

Two completely different definitions of assisted suicide ...

----------------------------------------

If you believe in karma, this is how justice is served for a victimless crime ...
However, if someone gambles away their family's money & belongings knowing full well there are odds in winning, their spouse could deliver consequences w/divorce & sue to regain the losses made by the other spoke regardless of the amount of time to make full restitution ...
Is it immoral to gamble away money or stupidity?

Excuse me, let me clarify here, when i say do unto others, i do not mean, treat them exactly how you would want to be treated as in personal preference.
But rather as in an innate respect for their need to be an individual.
As a person, I would only know how to treat others, as i would want to be treated, and this is, respecting my personal boundaries, and interests.
I can not come across every being, and know exactly how they would like me to treat them.
But i can follow my own rules of boundaries, until a connection evolves an understanding of their nature, and their own requests.

We all want our "boundaries to be respected" no matter what they are.
So in this, I hold to, treat others how you would like to be treated.

I realize this is irrelevant to the thread.

But i was interested to see your response, and I feel what you are saying.

But again, I live only by my experience, so in general can only treat others with the same respect that I would want.
and this can vary from thing to thing for each individual, and I am aware of that.
All is subjective.

Driving 10 over the speed limit is a victim-less crime.
Pulling up to a four way intersection and turning without a signal when no one else is there is a victim-less crime.

People making the laws are breaking more than those that they are trying to catch. Their crimes have more victims than 10 World Trade Center.

Our food, water and air are all being poisoned but they are still not considered crimes.

the funny thing is, they make the rules partly to be mean, but God redesigned it so that if you actually follow the mean rules they make instead of being resentful, you come out ahead.

BTW do you not think God can deal with poisons when that time comes?

Driving ten minutes over the speed limit is a victimless crime, until you hit an animal or pedestrian. Speed laws are for our safety because vehicles are dangerous. your going ten miles over the speed limit and its foggy, wet, to dark or to bright, anything could happen.
Of course many "bad things" are happening all the time, crime, and law, is subjective. and most of the time, when you break laws you dont get caught if they are truly victimless, or you were truly mature and safe about the way you did things. And then, does it even register as a crime in mind?
