Would you say F**k it and give into your inhibitions? Or continue like nothing changed

I'd still be a good person but I'd rob banks everyday, my fantasy.

Are you saying if today they announced there are no laws or there were never any laws to begin with?

More like the movie called ''The Purge''

In 2022, "The New Founding Fathers of America" have established a new totalitarian government and a police state, following economic collapse. Using the 28th amendment of the U.S Constitution, the government has established one night a year – called "The Purge", which occurs on March 21 to 22, in which all crime, including rape, murder, arson, assault and theft, is legal and all police, fire, and medical emergency services remain unavailable for 12 hours from 7 p.m. until 7 a.m. the next day. The only rules are that government officials with authorization levels of 10 and higher have been granted immunity and shall not be harmed, and all weapons above Class 4 (explosive devices such as grenades, rocket launchers, bazookas, etc.) are restricted. Anyone who breaks the "rules" of the Purge would be publicly executed by hanging. The purge has resulted in crime and unemployment rates plummeting to 1% and a strong economy. Although it is thought to be used as an act of catharsis for the U.S. populace, in reality, it is used as a method of artificial population control as the unemployed poor in slum neighborhoods are usually the main targets.

No of course not I'm not that good of a person anyway. That would just mean I wouldn't have to suppress urges and so on.:devil:

If there were no laws, then what would be the difference between good and bad?

I would do certain things but nothing like killing, or rape.

I have this thing called empathy and dislike causing other people harm :yeah:

On a more serious note, I spoke to a lot of people about this and the fact that people claim they'd do horrible things is upsetting.

Yeah, I'd still be good. Sure, there are a lot of people who deserve much worse than a punch to the face, but I'm too coward-ish when it comes to these things :D

That's the point the only distinction is up to your opinion or morals but know you may have to forsake those exact thing to protect your family.

If you can get banned for it then it probably changes you from a good to a bad person.

There is no such thing as no laws/ rules :| unless you subjugate everyone else then there will always be someone trying to put themselves over you or tell you what to do.


No laws just leaves ppl free to suffer the consequences of their own actions. Knowing that I would move to find some place in which order still existed and I would treat others like I want to be treated

Those things I just wouldn't morally be able to do. Don't tell me you would go on a killing spree

Think about it this way you are in the wild with essentially wild animals and it becomes kill or get kill in some places what would you do. Granted some people are to weak minded and would regret things but I for one wouldn't be a part of that group.

Empathy won't save people in such dire situations.:scorps:

Yeah, I'd still be good. Sure, there are a lot of people who deserve much worse than a punch to the face, but I'm too coward-ish when it comes to these things :D

Considering your avatar it's expected.

Laws do not make people good, they make them disciplined, so no, It wouldn't. I'm a horrible person even though I follow the law.

I don't think it's in my nature to do really bad things.

I might steal a little but I don't know.

I think I know what it would feel like. It'll feel bad. I'm pretty sure you're not gonna be feeling empowered. Tbh, after reading this. I'd kill scum like people who murder. Probably form a militia to prevent guys like you.

EDIT: Nah, who am I kidding, I can't kill.
