Things that used to be legal: LITERALLY EVERYTHING
Thank you. I just said the same thing.
Thanks both of you for stealing my comment 👍 mine was posted 3 hours before yours so it won’t be hard to prove
@@drewbooFPV we all came to independently :). I mean come on. It's not like we both invented calculus or something.
That was my first thought, everything is legal until it isn't.
@@drewbooFPV dude it’s the internet
Everything was legal before laws were enacted
So let’s get rid of laws

imagine being on a horse and being
charged for drinking and riding
The horse knows how to get home. They're like big dogs
The horse is not drunk though he's the designated driver 🤔
Fun fact you actually can be charged with OIU for riding a horse while drunk.
Especially if the horse isn't yours and your on a city street.
@@harrywalkey6298 so true. This arkansas girl is a witness sad to say 😔
it would get thrown out in court, unless you got drunk with your horse. Who knows maybe you will get lucky, you and the horse can get a rehab visit instead of jail time. I have heard of people doing much worst with their horses.
My grandpa actually killed his first wife while he was driving drunk back in the 1930’s. He never got in any trouble for it since apparently it just wasn’t a big thing then. I didn’t find out until after he was dead. I was stunned to say the least.
He must had a lot of money back then because cars were expensive back then.
@@derkelch2228 He did, back then he was a Vice President at a brewery (after prohibition ended of course) but he always used to tell me that cars were cheap in comparison to today (well this was the late 80’s early 90’s when he was still alive and told me this) He said he used to wreck a car and just leave it and buy a new one. No one needed insurance he said because they were so cheap. He may have been talking about the 50’s and 60’s though when he said that.
That sounds horrible, wonder why he didn't just divorce her or let her walk away?
(Sorry, I'm not mad to you right there.)
@@okamijubei I don’t think you understood the comment 😅 reread
@@okamijubei he didn’t do it intentionally. It was an accident and he felt bad for it. It just wasn’t the same stigma back then. No one was thinking he was garbage for drinking and driving or blamed him it was just considered an accident more like a deer running in front of you.
Fun fact about child labor: While it was the norm for millennia, it was almost non-existent when it was outlawed, it had been on a decline for decades.
Not in Bangladesh

Puts a whole new spin on, _bring your child to work day_ 🍻
Prostitution is legal in many parts of the world (and some actually recognizes it as a professional with labor rights, etc). Which is almost always illegal is pimping.
That’s how it should be.
It's difficult to regulate an activity which is itself illegal. If prostitution is illegal, there's less disincentive to engage in prostitution while having an STD, or to use children as prostitutes. Plus, criminalisation means more money for criminals, and using jail space for an action which is not inherently evil (and is frequently only done as a last resort for the utterly destitute.)
So, not actually crazy.
Yea I can tell you pay for that 🐱
As is nearly always the case, it is an American perspective... sigh.

My father is 75 and I have always talked to him and my grandparents, rest their souls, about the difference in times. My dad always talks about not having seat belts and stuff like that.
How old are u?
@@KD-hf2eg I'm almost 40. He had kids late
@@aliciaveal1284 k
When I was a kid, my Dad had a Studebaker pickup for the farm, no seat belts, later on, I had that pickup, rebuilt the motor twice, transmission once, and drove it till 2001. I got stopped, cop tried to give me a ticket for no seat belt, went to court, beat the ticket because the pickup grandfathered into the law.
i remember when it wasn't required to wear seatbelts or have child seats. im 50
There was a time, in Maryland, that it was legal drink, as long as you weren’t over the limit, which at the time, was 0.15 for DWI, and 0.10 for DUI. An officer seeing you drink from a beer can was not probable cause to pull you over. You had to violate the motor vehicle laws, such as drifting over the lines, or even drifting back and forth within your own lane. Of course, running red lights and stop signs and all the usual other violations count as well.
Some studies showed that open container laws actually prompted more serious DUI cases. People who used to have a beer or 2 on the way home from work now went to a bar instead where they had more alcohol and actually went on to drive home more drunk than before.
Like the media and the devil on the streets of Chicago where I belong to the government is the one of the United States is the truth because it is disrespectful and unfair when you have a gun and I love the fact you know what I'm saying now I just blazed a cig wit ma homies in the back of the car to see if you're gonna find it easy to get in the school just wanna talk in english but I can't breathe anymore because I am a virgin and I'm doing much better than eminem
This is why I love the infographics
Just realized that child labor did NOT come from parents not loving their kids. If you had a son it meant that you had another farm hand. For the country you live in it meant another soldier. Its what makes a man useful... and believe it! The young little guys WANTED to help and be like their fathers and defend their family. It's what boys want to practice because its what makes a man.
Child labor where they are being payed wages and those wages are taxed and garnished etc doesn't happen. Forced child labor is rare in history and its not normal society and no one is arguing that.
That’s not true. Many of the children in the industrial cities during the 1900s were orphans they had to work to survive. And others had to work because their families were poor.
@@COMPACTTVHD What Jericho is saying is there was pay for that labor, even though it was little.
I mean, on farms the little ones do help still. A young cousin of mine was already helping harvest at eight.
Pretty sure everything was legal before it was illegal.
Oh shut up
Hi this is one of my favorite shows keep up the good work
Weird that it's illegal for prostitution in the US, been legal in New Zealand for ages. As long as what you do behind closed doors doesn't hurt anyone - go for it!
@@dillonfletcher5505 what?
Prostitution IS legal. It's called the NFL, and it generates huge $$$ from building taxpayer-funded stadiums.
When something about another country doesn’t make sense, assume:
1. Religion
2. Taxes
3. Disgust reflex
4. All the above
There are a few counties in Nevada that allow it
@@brokeneyes6615 You forgot 'greed'
The pursuit of art did NOT come about with agriculture leading to other individuals able to specialize in other things.
Humans have ALWAYS had artistic pursuits. There are flutes found that are over 40,000 years old and cave paintings even older at 65,000 years old!! That is 10s of thousands of years before agriculture, or 'civilization'.
Amen! Art has always existed!
Perception is key
Earth is around 6,000 years old.
@@CR7GOATofFootball BCE
I dont think the point was that art did NOT exist before that, it was more to the point that more people could do it.
Breathing without a mask used to be legal
Marijuana should have never been criminalized.
Not too long ago if you were pulled over wasted drunk the cops would sometimes just give you a ride home.
Prostitution is a victimless crime which means it's not a crime at all. Even if you're a fan of heavy regulation you have to admit that it works fine in Nevada.
Unless one transmits an STD or other diseases.

Oh ya you have to pay her for the STD’s , you won’t get them for free. Lol
@@okamijubei when its legal they must do regular health checks. So no stds
🍺🥃🚙My mom, when she was like 7/8yrs, use to be able to walk to the local gas station or liquor store to buy a bottle of whisky for my Gramps. Also when she was 8/9/10yrs she would drive my Grandparents to and from church in a standard truck.
Laws weren't as strict
😯Oh how times have changed
Yeah well I hate to break it to you. That was all a lie. Unless you were joking.
remember when I first moved to TX...O K to have "open container" (of alcohol) in car...people drove around with open beers on their dashboards ! 😮
Yes, but back then, the cars and trucks were so big, a collision would barely scratch them. My Dad owned a Ford station wagon. A VW Bug hit him behind, and the little thing was totaled. The Ford barely felt it.
Nice video
I uncle has a farm , and my cousins loved to work on the farm...they took care of the horses and the cows, they give corn to the chicken and food for pigs...
Let me tell you, they were having fun...
I like the soundtrack of this video!!👍
You can legally drink at any age in Wisconsin as long as you are with a parent or guardian this includes at a bar
Yep, people do not believe me when I have told them that! Gotta love our Wisconsin! 😍
Yes, this also includes a spouse if you are married to anyone of legal drinking age . For example a 19 year old married to 21 year old. I remember this being emphasized when I took my WI bartender's course years ago, however the bartender also has the option to deny service to anyone, without explanation. Growing up in Wisconsin, my parents set the their own minimum age @ 15 and it was a maximum of 1-2 drinks on special occasions only. No driving or other hijinks allowed at all
This is also legal in texas
Children worked in the USA, in those dangerous textile mills during the early 1900s and before..fingers and hands were lost in those huge looms. Kids didn't have to attend school even during the 1940s. So farmers were legally able to keep their sons out of school in order to work on the farm. Many male farm kids before 1940 were fully or partly illiterate.Those early cars didn't go very fast, so a drunk driving a model T at its top speed of 15 mph probably didn't cause much damage.
True also many kids were orphans in the early 1900s. They worked to survive because their parents abandoned them 😢
@@COMPACTTVHD 1990 or 1890?
@@mustafaghani4492 early 1900s, basically post civil war. I made a typo and put 1990 sorry
1940's? It went on in the 70's, I know for fact, because during cotton season, pecan season, hay season, I did not go to school during those times. I had to do homework at home, and turn it in once a week. Summer, no vacation, I worked in the hay patch, worked cattle, and cut firewood for winter, along with other chores that had to be done whether I was in school or not.
@@COMPACTTVHD No problem it happens, I was just confused. Typos happen to the best of us🤷🏽♂️😂. Thanks for the response and the clarification ;)
5:09 who needs prostitution when you have dating apps
Having an opinion used to be legal
Looks like it's illegal again

Bucked off a horse definitely is not what I thought u said at first lol 😂 I was like wait , what ?!?!?! Lol
I know people generally are cynical of this planet and humans, but this shows how far we came since the old days.
Yes true but if you think about it from 100 years ago its a little bizarre.. not so much had changed and so much had changed at the same time if you know what i mean... i guess its the little things 🤷♂️😃😔
@@Jason.cbr1000rr Yes. That's a fair point. The little things are what counts.

I still help out on the farm. Even when I was living there. It’s not our main source of income but it’s fun for us and a workout session that’s definitely worth something. Have you ever tried shovelling a cow stall by hand?

My great uncle had a serious drinking problem. He crashed multiple cars and even ran over people and killed them. It was ruled "just an accident". This was back in the early 40's.
He finally got drunk and burned down the house one night. After that, he passed out and fell asleep on the local train tracks getting run over later that night.
I have 14 great aunts and uncles. They were all labourers on the original family farm. There’s 3 houses on the land. As the family grew, they’d build a bigger house.
Everything is legal until you are caught
The Government: Child labor is illegal Farmers: imma pretend I didn’t hear that
Can you make a "You Vs any Hazbin Hotel/Helluva Boss character" please? It would be great.
What about no
Man, I miss drinking and driving.
Fun fact: everything used to be legal at one point.
Being illegal and no law against are two different things.
Mercenaries not liking "the M word" is like 'Waste Management Technicians' being uppity about being called binmen, cos, y'know, they're men who empty bins... :P
They’re also called dustmen in the UK and commonwealth countries (South Africa, Australia etc). It’s not much, but someone has to do the job, and I have respect for that.
Mercenaries are mercen that aries
I still hire mercenaries on GTA 🤣🤣
It is illegal in Michigan to ride a horse, have charge of the reins of a horse, ride a bicycle, or be a passenger or pilot of a boat while drunk
It’s illegal to ride a bike?
Can confirm bicycles also a skateboard. But you can be drunk as a passenger. Just can't have a open container.
Can you imagine kids working hard labor like adults did? I mean.., it’s unbelievable.. most likely because kids nowadays cry and complain about dishes , cleaning their room, shoveling etc… I’d have to see it
Ask the Asian and Indian kids that work for Disney and Nike
The USA uses a lot of mercenaries, especially in Afghanistan. Russia does too. It allows wars to be fought without being officially involved.
Hi from Vegas.... Hehehe
Children still work on family farms. Starting young and doing everything the parents do. I knew kids growing up who ran tractors to plant crops at 10.
Did you make that to say mercenaries? I don’t get how they fit in the category much either
First OWI in Wisconsin isn't a criminal offense but rather a civil offense
Interesting
Not only is prostitution the oldest profession but I believe there’s an argument for it being the reason behind the development of cash money. Before it barter & credit would have been fine.
Just a thought
Lemme smash for apples?

Fyi: the modern breathalyzer device, used for determining a person's BAC (Blood Alcohol Level,) was invented by a former police crime-scene photographer. When he set about to invent the device, the photographer had no formal education in mechanical or chemical engineering. In addition to not being properly educated/qualified to be inventing a device that would be used in a legal capacity, he developed the device alone, using himself as a test subject for his device; this means that while developing the breathalyzer, the inventor was himself intoxicated at varying levels, which, according to legal precedence, dictates that the inventors conclusions cannot be accepted as legal due to likelihood of impaired judgement.
Drunk driving is a dangerous activity, without a doubt. However, determining legal intoxication levels with a device that was invented by someone with no credible training for such work, and who was imbibing alcohol while developing and testing the device, is an incredibly flawed and fundamentally illegal practice.
I knew this but I didn't know he had to drink to test it 😂 I can't believe no testing was done to determine if it's accurate?
As someone who was born in 1876, I remember these
decriminalized and legal are separate things
Thank goodness for mechanized agriculture!
Ah yes my favorite youtuber
please make ss atlantic video like you made the wilhelm gusloff or sultana please please il be really happy :)
Many teens now, need to be doing back- breaking hard labor to teach them respect and snap those attitudes they have.

Woah dude
My grandfather use to legally be able to drive around with an open whiskey bottle, with kids in the car without even a seatbelt.
Haha. Yep. When I was a kid my mom would put me in a clothes basket and set us as babies in the seat. I remember folding the seats out in the back of the car and making a huge bed area when we would go on long trips and lay down blanket pillow and all and listen to the radio. Simplicity was better.
Now it's illegal though.

Hi!
I don't think there is a issue when child labor as long as they are also protected and work does not over take education, I think it teaches kids alot and really sets them up for the future and the blue collar work force, I think that's one of the problems with kids now a days is the lack of work and responsibility but that's my 2 cents
And as a child, I wouldn't mind being able to make some money by myself, profesionaly.
