Why is there such a large gap between what is immoral and what is illegal.
Lately, I have been reading a lot about law, because I am trying to get married and am dealing with immigration issues.
The more I look, the more it seems, that there is a gap between immoral acts and illegal acts.
Why is it, that when people start to turn bad, and lose their morrals, their actions don’t become illegal until they become far more immoral?
E.g. It is legal, to tell someone you love them to get them in to bed, then go fuck a different person the next day, and lie about it to anyone you like.
It seems, that immoral behavior does not become illegal until it hits a full blown 10 out of 10 on the scale of immoral acts.
