I didn't want to comment on this because I don't want to be the thought police in the daily thoughts lol. Can't hold back.. thoughts.... bubbling... over...
And this ^^ entire argument is a huge fallacy. It is my hope that you didn't intentionally mean to use the example of a Totalitarian society and their laws as improving behavior in your argument.
Personally I don't believe in hitting children. I do believe in discipline. My personal beliefs in that matter is more problems are attributed to increasing parental lack of presence including but not limited to the rise of single parent households, and amount of parents who don't spend enough time parenting their children from excessive work hours, and/or increasing reliance on other people (school), and things (television/social media/prescription drugs etc) to do some of it for them. that's a whole other can of worms. and It's a school of thought that gets dismissed when people think it's a simple as not hitting children.
And my real point here is you cannot say that an increase of laws leads to less crime. If more laws made people stop doing things there would be no such thing as murder. There's a huge list of laws against murder.
Try being a small business owner in a parts of the country with "more laws and regulations" and tell me again who they're designed to benefit.
Gahh people's intentions might be good but are so often severely misguided when it comes down to these things.
