All victim-less crimes should be decriminalized.

So a part of our arguments come down to a discussion on the value of freedom and whether the value I put forth are more worthy of consideration in this case. These are values of happiness and life - utilitarian values - as Kozu suggests. If my arguments or claims in favor of utilitarian values exceed Kozu's in favor of freedom to the judge, then I win. The other part of our debate is based on Kozu's ability to defend his claim that all victim-less crimes should be decriminalized. If I can reasonably show any single victim-less crime that should be or remain criminalized, then I win. The risk of victim-less crimes like suicide or assisted suicide to terminate an otherwise potentially happier life means that decriminalizing all victim-less crimes would be bad and against utilitarian value. Kozu's response when he said "america is not a utilitarian government" shows that he knows this. And utilitarian is a type of philosophy, not a state, so this doesn't make sense anyway. It is perfectly reasonable for our government to consider certain moral values when making laws. So we're down to me saying that utilitarian value is way more important than freedom. What's the point of freedom if you sacrifice both life and happiness for it? Freedom is not the most important thing. I think the point of freedom is to give better opportunities for life and happiness. Even if decriminalizing victim-less crime might bring more freedom, it will take away a lot of life and happiness in the end. Since freedom is the ability to make choices, taking away life by assisted suicide is taking away the person's ability to make more choice. It is taking away the person's freedom to the worst degree possible. Besides, lots of people who do look to commit suicide usually are in non-temporary lows in mood. That means they probably would have enjoyed more happy if they didn't let themselves be killed. So I think by this point I prove that we should not decriminalize all victim-less crimes. Maybe some, but not all. And my other point is to show any single one victim-less crime to be bad, and Kozu agrees to that. I think my first argument right before this actually showed assisted suicide to be bad, so that by itself is one. Sir Kozu over there tries to negate some of the other ones I made up in my last post, so I will respond to his responses. First is drunk driving, which Kozu says isn't a victim-less crime because of other people killed. But drunk driving itself isn't the one that kills the people. Car accidents kill people. Drunk driving raises the risk of car accidents. Drunk driving cause car accidents, but drunk driving and car accidents aren't the same thing. In drunk driving, there is only the driver who chooses to drink alcohol and drive. The only party involved is the driver and the element of consent is in him allowing himself to drink alcohol. Drunk driving is a classic example of a victim-less crime. In the end, the car accident results in lots of people dying. These people are victims even if Kozu doesn't want to admit that they are. The definition of victim is debatable, and I say that the definition I gave of victim where a person is badly affected by a force is good enough. Kozu can be nitpicky, but the definition I gave matters because we're talking about human life here. Tax evasion is a victim-less crime because that's what the definitions say it is. Victim-less crime depends on consent, and the person consenting to not pay his taxes makes it victim-less by definition and a crime by law. Drug use is where Kozu admits to it being a victim-less crime, but the adverse effects of drug use, especially the worst drugs, outweigh the freedom it gives the person choosing to do it. Child prostitution is a victim-less crime because a crime can be committed by people of all ages, and nowhere does it say that victim-less crimes only apply to people under a certain age. Consent is consent no matter in what state of mind it comes from. Child prostitution is still a victim-less crime and it is still horrible horrible horrible. -My negation- I show that victim-less crimes sacrifice too much for freedom to be worth it. I also show a lot of things to be victim-less crimes and bad. Let's see what Kozu has to say?
