What are your views on dealing illegal drugs, prostitution, loan sharking, black mail, illegal gambling, selling weapons to criminals, illegal gambling, and criminals who earn money from illegal activities like the mafia, and pimps?

Earning money from the underground/illegal is a horrible way to earn cash since you will be constantly hiding from the cops, other rival gangs will be always be trying to catch you or kill.

It being illegal, and underground is bad enough, but if you are doing it just as your main income, then it becomes more hazardous than it should be.

I don't really get the debate? It's bad, *shrugs*

Though on the case of illegal drugs, depends on the drug and depends on the dealer. If someone's giving some weed to a few friends, I don't think it's so serious.

If no one can honestly say they think these things are good, this isn't a debate lol.

I don't know about the legal status of prostitution where you are, but legalising it can be incredibly dangerous. The vast majority of prostitutes are there not out of choice, but because they've been enslaved and trafficked by other people. A law against prostitution would not be a moral stance but a law to protect vulnerable women.

^Prostitution is illegal already.
 
Re: Views on the illegal/underground economy in North Americ

Ok, thanks - I didn't know. It's legal in the UK.
 
Re: Views on the illegal/underground economy in North Americ

Yeah, it has been a problem. People tend to brush it under the carpet, though...

Yeah the law doesn't do sh it here in the US.

Well prostitution isn't even completely illegal in the US in the first place. There are 28 licensed brothels in Nevada, and that is the only state where it is legal in certain places.
