Anything that can't be realistically enforced should be reevaluated and probably tossed out.

Correction: Anything that isn't an actual rights violation isn't a crime and should be tossed out. Enforceability is not really a good argument for defending something as being illegal/legal. However, if the "crime" is an action that doesn't violate property rights in the first place, its not really hurting anyone at all. Therefore, it shouldn't be illegal.

So the things that should be illegal are things like murder, theft, etc. Things that should not are things like drug use, slander/libel, and so on.

Well, slander would be rampant on news formats (especially shit like FOX). It would pander to the owners. It would be annoying at the least.

Not like shit like this doesn't already happen though.

Slander/libel aren't crimes though, they're civil torts. You can't be thrown in jail for slandering someone.

Copyright infringement is only a criminal offense in the US if you profit off it, distribute pre-release works (e.g., cam recordings of a movie in theaters), or exceed a retail value of $1000 in a 180 day period. Of course, any unauthorized downloading is "illegal" because you're breaking the civil statutes.
Of course, you only live one life, and you make all your mistakes, and learn what not to do, and that’s the end of you.

The only reason I do illegal things is because I don't feel what I am doing should be illegal in the first place. I understand it is against the law but I don't feel any remorse for what I do. I feel I have a very solid sense of what is right and what is wrong. If I feel what I am doing has no consequences on anyone but myself I don't feel it should be illegal.

As a general rule I do not break the law, but at the same time I follow what I believe is right more than what the law says I should do, fortunately my moral judgment tends to fall in line with the law.

I've downloaded terabytes of stuff over the years. I honestly wanna feel bad about it, but I can't. I don't have one bit of shame concerning my downloading habits.

And drugs, but those should be legal anyways.

I only download shows that I like because I can't watch them at the right time, nor can I see them for free on the internet since I live in Canada -.-;;

e:

I don't even download movies since they typically suck, and I watch the good ones on opening nights...

e2:

shit... downloading porn is illegal too, aint it?

Wow, everyone's most devious crime is "downloading." I've sold alcohol/drugs to minors and all sorts, nearly commited rape, transported drugs, transported illegals, all sorts of things.

:D

Yes...

I've sold pot in the past
I still smoke pot fairly often
I occasionally take ecstasy
I've bought alcohol for minors
I've done underage drinking
I've had sex with minors while 18+
I've had sex with minors while a minor myself
I've downloaded many TB of music, games, software, and videos (and ram lulz)
I've stolen small stuff from stores (like magic cards)
I've physically threatened to kill someone (I wasn't really going to, but I was pissed)
I don't mention my poker winnings as income on my tax returns
I've lied to employers about my history (either through omission or addition)

Pretty much every day I do at least one thing illegally. I don't feel bad about them, even though I honestly believe that some of what I do is clearly morally wrong. The dishonesty parts mostly... like the stealing of various forms.
