      Bribery happened before it was legal constantly, to think that making it illegal again would stop it from happening is just silly.

      the elected officals, kings, queens and what have you of the world aren’t the ones who run everything. The people who REALLY control everything are totally unknown to the common man

        Making it illegal let’s you do something about it when people are caught making and collecting bribes.

          It was happening long before it was made legal and nothing was ever done to stop it.

            Loads of politicians went to prison.

            Making it illegal limits how much it happens. It doesn’t mean it doesn’t happen.

            Because everyone knows, if it was allowed to happen in the past, we’re not allowed to ever stop it from happening in the future …
