The illegality of drugs, I think I agree with the Turian way of dealing with things, detailed in Mass Effect:

"There are no laws against recreational drug use on the Turian homeworld and as long as doing something don't interfer with your abillity to be a productive member of society, it's allowed."

What laws do you think should be repealed?

I think cannabis should be legalised, you have about 23 times greater chance of getting cancer from cigarettes and it is not as damaging as made out, plus with a Kaleidoscope you can have endless hours of fun.
Thinking like that can get you fired [http://www.guardian.co.uk/politics/2009/oct/30/david-nutt-drugs-adviser-sacked].

Wow. No. This is so very untrue. Holy crap.

Marijuana. It has the potential to become as big a buisiness as the tobacco industry, providing thousands of jobs and money that you could tax the fuck out of. This seems like a rather logical plan, guys.

So you think that hellholes like Saudi Arabia and North Korea have reasonable laws?
One is an Islamic theocratic dictatorship, and the other is an atheistic communist nation, respectively.

Their laws are not set up to protect the rights of people and to have some semblence of order and society, but to push the population in a particular direction. Therefore they are not really laws as we know them (rules made after a review and consultation with experts) but simple edicts delivered on the whims of people with severe narcissism issues.

They're still laws [http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/law] though.

pot and prostitution should both be legalized, regulated, and taxed. i'm also in favor of legalizing any form of marriage between consenting adults. homosexual, polygamous, whatever.
I see absolutely no reason to legalize polygamy. I'm not so sure about gay marriage either.
Because what two (or more) adults do in their spare time behind closed doors is no business of anyone but themselves?
We are talking about marriage, not sex.
and why shouldnt gays have the same rights as heterosexuals?

I don't see how it makes much difference really. Either way it's something that's deeply personal between two or more people - what's your objection to them anyway?

I am from England (it's more European than the USA thankfully, although government has been trying Americanize us for a while now). American laws have been going that ways yes. This is a result of the decaying in the democratic process due to corruption. Votes are now bought and paid for, whether through advertizing or through media manipulation to get the populace to vote a particular way. This, in turn, comes in the form of bribes and extortion from mega-corporations and big business.

If the media was truly free and unbiased, and politicans were not subject to "favours" from business leaders and bankers, you would find this kind of thing wouldn't happen.

...I think everything should be legal so long as you don't infringe on another person's rights.
Thank you, thank you, thank you. A right at the expense of others is not a right. It's so rare to find people who actually understand that.

OT: I don't smoke, but I know a lot of people who do. While I'd rather they didn't, I could really care less if people do, but at the end of the day, there's no denying the health risks, if I'm around it too much I get ill, and I'd really rather not have the inside of my car smell like what comes out of the tail-pipe (same goes for my house, without the whole tail-pipe thing). If smokers don't have a right to anything, it's to complain about their health as a result of their habit, and that's more a petty annoyance/ironic observation than any sort of dictum-from-on-high.
"Man, I really hate this smoker's cough of mine."
"Well, quit breathing in the burning leaves, idiot."

Actually, there isint. Unless you find racism and lies to be good reasons.

i'm paraphrasing of course but there's a quote somewhere along the lines of "one's freedom to swing there fists ends upon impacting with another's nose..."

i'm for the legalisation of drugs in general i think - as more and more professionals are bleating about how the war on drugs have failed. think prohibition in the 20's in america.

EDIT: oh god how could i forget ... same sex marriage, abortion laws, scientific researching restrictions... actually... just everything religion prohibits.
I agree with everything you said except the last line of your edit. First, do you really think its okay to treat religion as a monolith? Different religions forbid and allow different things. Most of them make sense. You know, like forbidding things like murder, theft, etc.
But I assume your talking about Christians in general, right? (also a pretty diverse group)
I guess I'm asking that you not treat religion(s) as a whole group with a single set of beliefs, or make the assumption that every idea those groups have come up with is bad.
