Law is broken into two concepts. Malum in se and Malum prohibitum.

Malum in se is an action that is wrong by nature regardless of a government or not. Theft, murder, rape are examples of Malum in se. In a nutshell it is an infringement on the rights of others.

The second concept is Malum prohibitum. This concept is dangerous and is abused by the State to control and criminalize the population through the threat of force. Actions under Malum prohibitum are illegal only because the government says so.

Definition:
Malum prohibitum are acts which are illegal that are not inherently wrong but are so because they are prohibited by society in order to advance some reason of public policy.

Most posters here blindly accept Malum prohibitum without questioning who wrote the laws, the reason behind them, the negative affects of them and whether or not someday a new one will be created that criminalizes you.

Don't be stupid. Because something is illegal under the law, does not mean that law is good or just.
