Not sure I understand. We have a law that makes a large percentage if not a majority of UK adults criminals. How can that actually be taken seriously? By anyone

Can you imagine what would happen if anyone was actually prosecuted?
- Nadya 11y agoTheir point was that people don't respect laws when laws are as absurd as this one. It undermines peoples' beliefs that they should follow the law when: 1) It's absurd to the general population 2) It can't even be enforced >undermine communal belief in the importance and relevance of laws Laws like this undermine the common-held belief that laws are important or relevant. Because everyone breaks the law and it's not enforced - which makes the law not important and not relevant.
- richmarr 11y agoMy interpretation is that you agree with each other. I think @hyperion2010's point was that this interpretation of law can't be taken seriously, and by extension that if this part of law can't be taken seriously then law in general is undermined.
