Things you expect to be legal/illegal in the future?

[TangerineSteve17]

Well I'll go for circumcision, weed, killing animals, hunting, and keeping people alive against their will..

What will be illegal/ legal in the future? Or should be in the world..

edit.. Haha. Got mixed up here.. think I have it right now.

Re: Things you expect to be illegalized soon..

Isn't weed illegal at the moment?
Also I can't imagine killing animals would be outlawed full stop with the amount of people that eat dead animals.
I agree with circumcision mutilating babies before they get a say is just wrong.

Got messed up for a minute. I proof read it too. :/

Basically it would be nice to know peoples ideals/agendas.. what should be allowed and what shouldn't.

kids lose parents to them before theyre time
People lose spouses to them before theyre time

cigarettes will be illegal one day (maybe 50 years)

Yea Circumcision is strange. if you weren't meant to be born with that piece of skin you wouldn't have it.
Typical Religious nutters - playing with kids willies. ILLEGAL

Marijuana is a definite Yes from me. I don't smoke but I wouldn't turn down a relaxing THC laced Choc Brownie :D
LEGAL

Cocaine/Heroin/Crack... No, I don't endorse heavier drugs like this (many friends have died from this shit) but I genuinely feel if it were Legal before their deaths they would still be alive today with many of them dying due to poor health, paying stupid amounts of money to drug dealers, committing stupid crimes to fund their habits and so on. if the heavier drugs were regulated, they would of been engrossed in the healthcare system and with proper detoxification/rehabilitation clinics they could of possibly quit their addictions.
if prescribed legally rather than sold in back alleys it could lead to more responsible use.
The cost of Rehabilitation would be sourced from the current amount of money our Police Force currently spends on Policing this drug abuse. LEGAL

Petrol/Diesel... I can see future cars being ran on some kind of better enviro-friendly energy, electricity perhaps? I'm no expert.
This would give Govts. and big corps the excuse to sell us a shitload of new cars and having to scrap our current cars.
Driving your 5yr old Petrol car? you'll be arrested with it being scrapped. ILLEGAL

Further into the Future.....

Driving. Driverless technology is ever advancing, with testing having occurred for a few years now.
Google is a big player in this. I can envisage lorries zooming around everywhere being driven by the inbuilt laser guided systems.
You just won't need to drive anymore. Hey, maybe even owning a car will be pointless with cheap Taxi services ran by Bots.
Want to go to work? hop into your box and away you go.
Your "Box" will also probably auto-check you in on your Facebook profile, so another corporate will know exactly what you had for breakfast, what time you brushed your teeth, what tv channel you watched inside the box on your way to work and this is the future reality - Big Brother State. ILLEGAL

Nice one :) good read.

It is a fine line between advancement and human rights.. yet I am sure they will adjust as time goes on.

Ultimately I guess efficiency is the word. Far in the future, that is the word we want.. It's a robotic/mechanic word, but it will apply to us more and more. To maximize your efficiency means progress. I suppose that means the end of 'fun' as we know it... not that that would really be a problem when/if our ideals change.

Also.. there should be a threshold of some kind.. for non-evidence based belief (faith) and rational belief. If you're making absolute shit up... it should not be allowed to enter spheres. Rationality should trump basically.

We will be so controlled and managed in a hundred years time 'for our own safety' it beggars belief what will be allowed.

I can envisage a future when your shopping trolley is checked to make sure you have enough fruit for your daily allowance, your fridge is checked to make sure it has been taken out on time, and your bin is checked to make sure it has been eaten.

There will be no cheating. Sensors will be everywhere to make sure you 'protect yourself' and 'eat healthily'.

Your alcohol allowance will be carefully monitored.

Every move you make on the roads will be monitored and assessed, with fines for each and every transgression.

Computers will decide what is right and wrong, every 'mistake' will be filmed, you will be brought to book in court, with filmed evidence proving everything, and it will all be 'for your own protection and safety'.

Walking in the hills will be banned because you might fall over and scrape your knee,

Crossing the road without a lightbulb to tell you when to walk will be illegal.

Having a freewill will be illegal.

Everything will be illegal, except being a politician with immunity to all and anything else you can think of, because they know best, and it's all 'for your own safety'.

We will do as we are told, and there will be no escape.

Life after 70 will be illegal. Termination wards await.

 

[malg]

Illegal - the BBC reporting people's opinions on 'social media' as news.

Illegal - bloggers being termed 'journalists.

 

[TonyM]

Illegal - motorbikes on roads (no seatbelts)
Legal - indecent exposure (clothes will go so far to none exist and anti gay campaigners will make it illegal to be offended by the site of a swinging willy)
