First of all, why are you lumping all of these together into one bill? They address vastly different issues of which many need to be scrutinised in detail before such rash changes! Honestly, does dealing out stiffer penalties across the board solve any issues? Does it help to address underlying root causes? Does it improve the country's condition? No.

Decriminalising suicides. Okay that makes some sense. Why are you going to punish someone who was already going to end their life anyway? Either you give them therapy and support, or you let them go. Punishing them because they failed their attempt makes no sense. So yeah, that's fine by me.

Protection for Children, Elderly, and Disabled. Check. No issues with that. But again, they need to be more careful with the part about trying to create "new offenses" for "minors" between age 16 and 18. Honestly, they are of consensual age. Let them do what they want bro.

And then it starts to go downhill from here.

Putting a halt to Stealthing? Repeal marital rape immunity? What are you joking? Talk about nanny state to want to control everything about your life, including what happens in the bedroom. So any crazy woman can now claim rape regardless of what actually happened? And hey, I thought we were experiencing declining birth rates? Oh no, let's just forget about that! I can bet my 100 bucks that many a child was born due to the so called "Stealthing" or whatever fancy term you want to give it. It possibly also leads to shot-gun marriages which is a possible way to start a family.

I always thought we wanted more babies, not less.

Last part is called, get this, "Tackling Emerging Crimes". Oh, let's phrase it in a way that makes the problem sound new, so we don't sound outdated. This part is really iffy because they are actually treating it as a crime, and not a mental disorder. There are much deeper issues at hand, and the "offenders" have often suffered a lot through life, which lead them to do such acts. Does punishing them solve the issue? NO!

Furthermore, I can get into a rant about the whole thing. But my point is, what harm and damage have they cause that warrants such harsh sentences? Oh, I took some pictures and videos, and now I end up in jail for 2 years? How absurd does that sound? What did the poor soul do to deserve that? Ridiculous! Put them on some therapy and social training programs and help reshape their lives so that we have more healthy and functioning people to continue contributing to the workforce!

It gets even more ridiculous from there. Revenge porn and "Cyber Flashing" are also going to be punishable with jail sentences? You know how to prevent revenge porn? Stop being a THOT and recording your sexual acts! Simple as that. If you did it, then you are prepared for the consequences. The last one is a joke. So, sending nudes is now a crime? Isn't that the whole point of Snapchat? LOL. Best way to put a company out of business. Again, what damage does the so called "Cyber Flashing" cause? If anything, it's more humiliating for the sender than the receiver?


And, I could rant on and on and on. But I'll end it here as it's pretty pointless seeing where this country is going. Best for me to leave at the next opportunity I get. My overall summary of opinion, is that they lumped too many things together. Protection of the weak and suicidal are generally good ones. But the latter parts fail to address our concerns of a declining population. Sometimes, we gotta let frisky acts fly to get those babies coming. Lastly, as someone who understands, I can say that voyeuristic acts rarely arise out of malicious intent. There ARE deeper underlying mental and emotional issues that affect these people. By sending them to jail, we are destroying their careers and losing important and valuable manpower and future fathers. If we could only send help to them, reform them, put them back on the right path, society would surely benefit.
