I figured it was an obvious enough answer that people might choose a different option, but it's got a clear majority right now. I mean, there's a difference between obviously socially constructed crimes like Marijuana Possession (which is legal in some places and illegal in others) and Truancy (truancy laws have existed for less than 300 years) and what I've heard a psychologist call "crimes against humanity"--i.e. murder, rape, which are illegal everywhere (including among relatively isolated indigenous people) and tend to be written into just about all the religious texts. You could maybe get an interesting debate out of murder vs rape vs slavery vs torture. Or you could exclude the "crime against humanity" crimes and get an interesting debate out of those. --- Cats land on their feet. Toast lands peanut butter side down.
