There are things that are considered wrong by a lot of people, however, one cannot do anything about them because they don't violate the law. Keeping that in mind, I asked the Bored Panda community to share some examples of what they think should be illegal but is not. Apparently, there are many things!

Here are the responses from our Pandas. What do you think should be illegal but is not? Let me know in the comments!

#1

Children's beauty pageants - parading kids in lipstick and padded bikinis - is wrong.

#2

Removing puppies' tails or ears for cosmetic purposes. One of the most stupid things ever done to an animal.

Why is everyone so invested in someone's kid's genitals?! The best gender reveal party would involve popping a balloon that sprinkled biodegradable purple confetti, followed by "Yakkity Sax" blasting on speakers while a couple people in fairy wings skip around with signs that say "Gender is a social construct," "Kids are more than gender," and "Ask me about my personally signed copy of Judith Butler's Gender Trouble."

It's slave labour and why keep somebody on once the internship is over when you can hire somebody else for nothing. Also it discriminates against people who don't have parents to financially support them while carrying out an unpaid internship.

I think that child marriage (marriage below 18) should be illegal with NO exceptions. It creates so much trouble for the kids, yet so many states still have many loopholes. Only a few have a strict ban. NO parental consent, NO exceptions, and KEEP it that way. Sometimes it is used to keep a rapist out of jail because the child is pregnant. There was actually a case, by the way, where a girl's father or mother had her married because her boyfriend got her pregnant while drunk. She only consented because she loved him, and she was happy to be a mother. Sadly, the child miscarried during the wedding, but her folks never got punished for this. Instead, they went to a different state to get consent from a judge. Man, life is wrong!

The gay panic defense (in some states is banned, most not though). Basically, it’s legal for someone to MURDER a gay person if they claim that they had an “uncontrollable reaction” to seeing a gay person. Yeah. I believe the men who murdered Matthew Shephard tried to use this defense.

Should definitely be banned.

Agree 💯. Personally, I don't find looking at explosives that entertaining. I did not enjoy the sound or the feeling of ash falling me even as a child. They are horrible for the environment and a large portion of the US is suffering from unprecedented drought. So, uncontrolled explosions are probably not smart. However, I would gladly shut up about the above if fireworks were being set off by pyrotechnicians in a government sanctioned area. It feels like people are using fireworks as their own personal rebellion. But why rebel against your neighbors? They're probably in the same boat as you or at least in the same sea lol. Idk, I can't help but see it as having no respect for the community. It's a selfish act with little return.

Controlled fireworks displays are ok I think. I know if you live close to the area where the display is, it will upset pets. But you know the exact time they will start and shows usually don’t last forever. You can prepare for it.People just shooting stuff in their backyards shouldn’t be happening. Especially in a city\populated area. There is too much of a chance something can go wrong, and the random noise at random times is an issue. We have a ban, but it certainly was not enforced this year.

I feel like fireworks should be banned because of the environmental impact, however, I understand that it's a tradition that is important to people. That being said, instead of banning completely, I think fireworks shows should be kept in certain areas. The smoke, flashing, and sudden loud noises are harmful not just to dogs and children, but to people with PTSD, people with sensory disorders, etc. I know a lot of people who dread the 4th of July because the flashing and booming right outside their homes is harmful to their health, and I just don't think that's right.

They tried to ban fireworks in Hawaii many years ago. The Chinese in Hawaii were outraged as it was a part of celebrating Chinese New Year. The reason they wanted to ban them was because people were getting hurt. The Chinese who lived in Hawaii claimed religious persecution. The ban was rescinded.

My doggy was scared too, then I read in that cases it is a good idea to "distract" them with something they love. I tried biscuits but he was too scared to eat, then I started to play with his favourite ball near the bed he was hiding under (usually we couldn't play in the flat to not disturb neighbours, but who can hear us during fireworks?!) and he just started to play with me at some point ^^ . After that every time he heard firework he ran to me waggling his tail because he knew we'd play with his favourite ball ^^ .

I love fireworks, but I hate them being set off around the neighborhood. The 2 days before 4th of July they were going off. I have anxiety and bad trauma and I literally shake and cry when I hear them. I was jumping and almost crying those days. It was different when I went to the fireworks at a ballgame and had my headphones and then being at home and having to listen to them. Once in my old neighborhood, we have a school parking lot right behind our house. They shot them off there and they were so close to our house. It was terrifying and I almost cried. Not to mention those with PTSD it can affect. It's humans too, not just animals. I get firework shows in areas like a ballpark or a special event, but please stop doing it around neighborhoods, it's so terrifying and hard to handle.

But your child probably does, and tbh if I was that child I'd probably hate you too.

I will keep upsetting your dog and mine as well. It's one day a year. Get over it.

Doing things to a child because the parent consented. From kissing to ear piercings to stealing. Especially if the child is old enough to tell you if you can or can't.

Any mention of vaccines on Facebook in Australia now gets a link to the real information by the government/health system, regardless if it's about a covid one

Reminds me of a perfume from the 1970s called Love's Baby Soft. Their full-page ad on the backs of magazines offered (yes, that's the right word) a girl of no more than 12 wearing makeup - complete with sticky red lips - looking into the camera, cuddling a teddy bear.

Regulation is the means by which the wealthy and powerful use government to protect their market share. The notion of a "well-regulated free market" is oxymoronic. As information technology expands, economies are increasingly able to be controlled not by regulation, but by informed choices. So Google, Facebook, Microsoft, Disney, GM, Exxon, etc., urgently convince people that they need more regulation. Absent governmental controls (like 100-year copyrights, frivolous patents, etc.), wealth and power will obey the law of entropy.

I mean, simply stating here, it’s controversial bc while it does give other small cities and states better recognition, it also was enacted bc America was founded by rich white men who did not want the poor white men “interfering”with the government. So if it was created to keep “uneducated” opinions from tainting the presidential vote, is it really still necessary in a society full of much more educated people than there were in the 18th century? Guess it really kind of depends on knowledge extents and educated opinions.

In addition, women should respect men the same way. I'm in high school and just the way people talk to each other... it's so sexual and uncomfortable without the receiver's consent. It doesn't matter the gender, it's the action in general. And before you downvote me, I am a girl

February, too. It's short, nobody likes it, and just to be a pain in the butt, every four years they add a day.

Germany’s age of sexual consent laws: The age of sexual consent in Germany is 14, and it means that a 65 year old man can fully legitimately and legally have sex with a 14 year old girl. How on earth can that be????
