Whoa! If there were no laws, do you know what would happen?
We must have laws. Of course, some laws are unreasonable. Mostly those laws were passed by politicians who don't respect human rights (I am not talking about Democrats, get it?).
True but laws are only useful for people who would follow them... Much like a guiding hand. Which in turns follows that people who break laws would do the same actions regardless if the laws are there or not. Laws are nothing more than social acceptance standards... Laws do not really control people, people control themselves in whatever manner they deem acceptable. With laws also give the expected punishments that can be expected...
However, this means diddly squat in life... If a man wants to kill the laws do not stop him... If a woman wants to sell drugs the laws will not stop her... Sure we all know its wrong and laws are living representative writings of societies beliefs, morales, and values....but still they are useless.
Establishing that they do not stop crime, then one can argue that they deter crime through punishment... On this maybe a little, but for the vast majority they do not care. It is a game to most criminals as well as a way of life.
