Re: If there was no crime, would life be boring?Depends what the crime.
If you mean literally all crimes, then yes it would be boring.
I don't see the problem with victimless crimes such as parking on a double yellow lines, drugs, drinking in certain places etc.Last edited by J.Star; 18-05-2012 at 15:45. -

Imagine life without minor, victimless crimes such as parking on a double yellow drugs, drinking in certain places. -

Re: If there was no crime, would life be boring?Okay, but I've never done that.(Original post by Steezy)
Do you know it's against the law to pay for anything over 20p in copper coins?
(I thought it was £10?) -

Re: If there was no crime, would life be boring?I don't drive - so, no. You can find it as hard to believe as you like, but not everyone has committed a crime. I don't see why I should be patronised for it.(Original post by Zyyz)

Another example that I live in a stupid society. -

My life has revolved around criminal activites, and I can't imagine what I would do instead of hunting for the Baudelaire orphans and their lucrative fortune.

Re: If there was no crime, would life be boring?Not really. In Saudi, known for an extremely low crime rate, you see people leaving their shops open to go to pray Salah. Now imagine this somewhere in Salford.

Re: If there was no crime, would life be boring?I just can't stand it when people live by all these petty government laws which are stupid.(Original post by Formerly Helpful_C)

For example..
I bet 90% of people here don't even know that you don't have to pay the fine if you get a parking ticket. They are only a statute it's not law, it only becomes law if you sign the paper, ignore it or act in dishonor. The government are scamming people out of money for what they brand a "crime" -

Re: If there was no crime, would life be boring?I think you asked the wrong question - you should rephrase it to:
If there was only good in the world and no bad/evil then would the world be boring/unimaginable?
What would the world be like if there was no pain/ anger/ jealousy/ racism/ abuse/rape/ murder etc etc.....and theerfore no crime? -

Re: If there was no crime, would life be boring?I was referring more to the fact that if all laws were made to be completely enforceable, it would affect your life a lot more than you'd think.
There are laws that absolutely noone follows.
And yes, it's 20p. -

Re: If there was no crime, would life be boring?If you suddenly made a profit of £100,000 from a £200 investment in the stock market, you'd certainly say it was interesting.(Original post by thomaskurian89)
If there was absolutely no crime in the world, the news would contain only boring stuff like stock market reports.
