Yeah...guy may have genes for "call chicken" or cheating no matter what, but if things are illegal, they will "think twice" if they wanna do it, since there are bigger consequences (e.g. criminal record, trouble of going through court etc.).
I think the basic idea of law is to define what is right/wrong and punish those whoever did something "wrong" so that there is "order" in our society. In most cases, laws are defined so that we can't do something harmful to others (e.g. killing, stealing, and also include speeding, drinking and driving, drugs, and the list goes on).
For same sex marriage, prostitution, those seems like "no harm to others" and that's more of a discussion of why it is illegal. But to me, I think anything that is not right to do, could be reflected on the "law". But of course, everyone has his own opinion on these topics. |
