labmath2 Posted July 24, 2014 Share Posted July 24, 2014 Should things like buying goods from a thief or watching child porn be illegal? People engaged in these actions are voluntarily doing so, even though they are making immoral action by the people they engage with lucrative.

Wuzzums Posted July 24, 2014 Share Posted July 24, 2014 It's not using the initiation of force so I don't think they're immoral acts per se but they are condoning immoral behavior. Not immoral but the very next thing to it. In a society where killing people is deemed acceptable I don't know how will making those two things illegal solve anything.

(The act is immoral)If you were merely negligent in not knowing then you are still financially liable (must return property to the rightful owner, pay compensation ... (The act is not necessarily immoral in the same sort of way, buy an obligation is nonetheless created by failure to do due diligence, though it would be immoral to shirk that duty) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
