You could call this a sequel to my last question, but I was genuinely curious. Question inspired by someone I know joking about being arrested for selling donuts to someone who died as a result because they didn’t need junk food.

    Obviously, anyone selling guns would be slippery slope murder.

    But, military contractors would be committing slippery slope war crimes, including genocide.

    Gas stations for selling those crack pipes which facilitate drug use.

    Car dealerships would be aiding & abetting. They’d also be involved with vehicular manslaughter, drug trafficking, sex trafficking, …really any trafficking. Add all transportation forms to the list.

    Bars for DUIs and related deaths. Also, child abuse, physical & sexual assault.

    All comms technology, including phones & computers, would be involved in espionage & conspiracy. Internet device manufacturers and ISPs would be engaged in facilitating data piracy & fraud.

      In BC, Canada bars and servers can be held liable up to millions of dollars for DUIs and drink driving accidents when they over-server someone.

      The mandatory government licensing course for all who server alcohol, Serving It Right, makes it clear and even cites an example where a server sent someone home in cab. The person them left their home in their car, and the server was fined.

    Rubbing one out lowers aggression, ergo masturbation is now mandatory. You all know what to do here, people.

      Counterpoint: masturbation is genocide and menstruation is murder as it is a failure to bring a life to the world. Therefore everyone beyond puberty is guilty of murder by default.

  • Common cheap field drug tests commonly react to (yield substance-positive results) to other substances such as powdered sugar, human ashes, some foodstuffs and plastics.

    Normally an additional sample is supposed to be sent to a lab for more specific results, but the courts in most states accept the field tests as definitive. A positive result is definitely probable cause, which allows officers to search your vehicle or home and take your money and solvent assets, as per asset forfeiture.

    But yes, you can expect common substances to be grounds for a drug trafficking charge. Is an execution summary (id est, on sight)?

    Distracted driving is as dangerous as drunk driving.

    The #1 cause of distracted driving is cellphones.

    Cellphones are now illegal.

      Somewhat related to this:

      Talking on your cellphone while driving: illegal
      Using a hands-free device to talk on your cellphone while driving: legal
      Resting your head against your hand while driving: legal

      Legally resting your head against your hand while driving, and your hand comes in contact with your legal hands-free making it no longer “hands-free”: straight to jail.

    Education increases the likelihood of earning a higher income.

    Money is used to buy drugs.

    All education is now illegal.
