    Wait, that doesn't make sense. I can think of two things:

    1) You made a typo and meant "I actually do believe some laws are draconian and need to be changed, but I can't support letting people abuse laws in foreign countries."

    or

    2) You did not make a typo. You do mean that some laws are draconian, but instead of jumping internationally to circumvent such laws, citizens should make more effort in changing their home laws to make them right.

    ------------------------------

    I think you actually meant 1).

    If you really do mean 1), what about seeking euthanasia in foreign countries that have legalised it?

    I was going for a more causal relationship. The reason why I can't support people abusing laws in other countries is because I believe those laws are draconian and need to be changed. Otherwise, when in Rome.

    I do not think legal euthanasia is draconian at all. It really depends on the law.

    But we're talking about people abusing the lack of laws in other countries - abusing the less draconian law.

    eg: Legal age in Country A where I live is 18yrs. Legal age in Country B is 13, let's have some fun in B.

    In my example, Euthanasia being illegal is the draconian law. Legalised euthanasia is the free one.

    I meant the law that allows for something to happen, like child prostitution or abuse, is primitive. I think making laws to prevent those kinds of things make sense.

    Legal age of 13 sounds fine and all, but without the proper laws to protect those hebes from abuse, like getting bought from their parents by some guy without their consent, it's a primitive law.

    If a country allowed murder, I certainly wouldn't support people going there to kill innocent bystanders for fun. I'd agree to a foreign or international law to prevent that.

    My general stand is it's not black and white. It will depend on the context and the specific law in question before I make a decision whether I think foreign interference is justified.

    EDIT: It seems I used the term draconian incorrectly. I thought it meant primitive/obsolete. That's what I meant.

    That reminds me, there's supposed to be a robot war between something-Heavy-Industries and an American company.

    Something that might relate to the case of prosecuting people for 'not crimes where they did it' is the anti-bribery laws.
    from what I understand, it is legal for an american corporation to 'bribe', even in countries where there is no law against it (and when there is a norm to id), and even if a local contractor \ delgate is the one who paid the bribe, the mother company is still at fault.

    You know the important distinction between Batman and me? Batman is fictional. In real life, there isn't always an alternative.

    It's currently down (too much traffic?), but according to a mod on r/Demonoid, it will only be used as a forum and will not host torrents. Also, the site founder died last year.

    Even www is getting so old that site founders are dying. But of course there's already a whole generation of people who were born when www was already a big thing, and now they have children of their own. Soon the same thing will happen with smartphones.
