FabSwingers.com forum: Being held accountable for what you did in the past ......

What did everyone do in the past that is illegal now ?

e.g. it was commonplace for unruly children to be smacked - illegal in some places now but should the parents of 50 year olds be prosecuted for it ?

What could YOU be done for retrospectively ?

I had to do an exercise like this for a course I was doing at the time…….. turns out that I was some sort of gangster that would be spending the rest of my life in jail

With relation to things which are now not legal but were at the time, I believe it is neither necessary or useful to be retrospectively prosecuted/punished.

However, there are many actions throughout our life’s for which we should hold ourselves accountable, most of which are legal but not necessarily moral.

I had some of my best song collections taped from the radio. It was quite exciting making sure you were ready to pause at just the right second!

I wouldn't disagree but I asked about legalities not moralities which are two very different things...

I see no point in retrospective punishment for something that was not illegal at the time it was carried out ...

I used the first part of my reply to answer your question ( regarding parents being prosecuted for smacking their now grownup children).

I used the second part, and deliberately kept it separate, in an attempt, futile it would seem, to expand the topic of accountability

Back in the day when cars had 8 track stereos tapes. I had a recorder that I could tape over Jim Reeves and put what songs I wanted on the tape.

Did that too, trying to pause the tape between songs and hoping the 90 tape didn't cut out in the middle of a good song.

Then we were blessed with napster and limewire to download

Also wiring 2 video recorders together to copy the rented videos
