Why do you think euthasia is illegal in many countries?

Religion.\n\nWhere does most irrational thinking and legislation come from?\n\nIf I'm dying from a terminal illness that will cause me a long and painful death, you have no right to force me to go live through it.

Sure, if it has to do with capitalism, and entrepreneurs can make money off of it, it's more likely to be legal. Prosistution is illegal in many states because it's not easily taxed.\n\nSecond, I believe prostitution is illegal because of state legislation, not federal legislation.

Because it's illegal.

I do believe that it is illegal everywhere in the US, but it does seem as though the police are cracking down more on the "harder" stuff.  But please don't get it in your head that you can't be busted for pot....a friend of mine went to jail for a week for a roach in her car ash tray.\n\nNot sure why people call it pot.  I guess people come up with new names for it all the time so other people (like the cops) won't know what they are talking about.

It's prohibited in the United States; not elsewhere.

Yes, it is exploiting another country's resources.  The question then is whether it is an unfair exploitation.  After all, we are talking about ambulances and people in emergency situations.  If we can save a life by allowing this, I'm for it.

What part of the word "illegal" don't people understand?

That's a very good question. I guess the correct answer would depend on which side of the argument you are on. If you think it SHOULD bu illegal than they are just slow to getting there. But you also have to remember that they are just totally different cultures, they are aloud to go out drinking at the age of sixteen but can't drive until they are eighteen. Things are just different over there, maybe they haven't realized how bad it is yet, or maybe they think that people should be able to decide on their own.

I think that prostitution is illegal because if crosses religious moral boundaries. This country was founded by religion. Its an on going battle. I personally think that we should follow Nevada's lead. At least this way the "working lady's" can get some type of medical insurance of sorts. Not to mention the police can be used for more impotent things. Seriously look at how long its been in Amsterdam! \n\nAs far as the porn industry goes its falling into the freedom of speech or 1st amendment rights. Its not like you turn on your TV on standard network and see it. If you are against porn stop renting/buying the movies. That being said I don't think that will happen. Right now the porn industry is doing better then ever. For all those conservatives who have there collections hidden in a loose panel under your bed and talk of stopping this industry I laugh at you.

everything is done for a reason. It all comes down to money.\nThis country makes allot of money on the illegal stuff. \nLook if it was legal it would put allot of people out of business. Just like there are cures for cancer. But we can't know that because people would lose there jobs.

For the same reason we have every other law in this country.  It's basic civics.  There are certain things we know we shouldn't do, like kill people, but some person might anyways, and there has to be legislature for the person to be punished, setting an example that we shouldn't do these things. \n\nThe drug part is different.  If you came up with an entirely new drug right now, there would be no criminal law against using it, because there is no legal reference for it.  Here's an example:  Back in the 80's Ecstasy used to be legal.  You could buy it with your credit card in a bar, just like alcohol.  Then a shipment of a dangerous drug came over called, China Whites, that caused fatalities.  Congress freaked, declared Ecstasy a dangerous drug and declared it illegal.  The same thing for pot and mushrooms.  Somewhere along the line congress thought it was dangerous or being abused and had to declare it illegal.

It's probably illegal in all the states. That's a form of harassment.

Our country is the complete opposite of Europe. We are very anti "too much" sexual activity on television, and everyone throws a fit when they feel somthing is too sexual. Instead, we think it's okay to showcase a lot of violence and violent video games that small children see. We have it all wrong. There is nothing wrong with showing love on television, it all has to be done in a correct manner.
