Whilst drinking this afternoon/evening which is never a good start to a sensible discussion but hey ho,
One other drunk stated that the world finncially collapse without crime!
His argument was that if all crime ceased then most of the police,courts,justice system and the staff from solicitors,security firms,prisons etc. would be without work.
going so far as affecting the likes of printing companies(lots of forms/paperwork),lock and alarm companies or anything to do with personal or property protection would be un-needed,locksmiths key cutters,insurance companies and all the companies that supply replacement goods would suffer,even the bloke that comes to replace your lock/door or window will be affected and so on.
I argued that he was talking nonsense at the time but in hindsight it seems to make sense.
Or am I missing something?.
It sounds like a lot of people affected on the face of it.

I`m not suggesting we should all be going out stealing Transits and ram-raiding Tesco,or rob the neighbours shed but it does seem that crime creates a lot of legal employment,so it does pay.

I entirely agree with the ethical side of it.
Besides the death,maim,distress aspect the biggest draw for me in a no crime society would be no more fking keys to losesmile
