Would it be illegal to blow up the moon?
I'm not sure if the actual act of blowing up the moon would be illegal in and of itself, (wait, never mind Outer Space Treaty, thanks Malcolm Sargeant) but you can certainly be prosecuted for the actions before and afterwards. For a start, transporting 3e19 tons of TNT (which is like a few Plutos), or 2.5e15 nuclear bombs, or even 0.7 billion kg of antimatter, to the moon would probably incite someone to arrest you at some point, unless you are the ruler of the world or something which makes the point moot. America would probably pursue litigation against you for the destruction of the Apollo landing sites. Approximately 110 billion tons of moon would be intercepted by Earth. Unless this also destroys the entire legal system of every country you will certainly be sued for destruction costs, crimes against humanity (war crimes?). I feel that the world as a whole may instigate a new form of punishment just for you. Moon stuff hitting Earth is equivalent to a 20km radius sphere (2 and a bit Mt Everests). Plugging into my favourite simulator, Earth Impact Effects Program, gives an idea of the maximum damage we can expect, specifically whether it would be enough to wipe out the legal system. A 357km wide, 1.7km deep crater, an air blast potent enough to shatter every glass window on the side of the Earth the meteor impacted, and enough to kill about everyone within 5000km of the impact. Yes, you will be sued for property damage. Yes, you will be arrested for crimes against humanity. You will not necessarily be charged for the destruction of the Apollo sites, at least, if the impact happens anywhere near America. You will also not be charged if the meteor lands in the ocean, unless you count a 100m high tsunami as a charge, the simulator thinks this will go all around the world. Oh, it's also a case of the largest earthquake ever recorded. So, basically, you will be ritualistically tortured and punished, provided nothing hits the sea, otherwise you will be beaten to death with spades by a few very fortunate lawyers in a boat.
Would it be illegal to hit a parent if they hit me?
You could end up charged with assault and on juvenile probation if you hit your mother and she or anyone else reported it. She could end up with child abuse charges if her pushing and slapping were reported. It would be worse for each of you if there were bruises, scratches, or other marks left.Some states allow parents to use more physical punishment than other states. So, it’s possible she would be considered to be disciplining you but you could be considered to be assaulting her. It also depends on the police department involved.If someone is attacking you and you have to push them away to stop it or get away, that’s one thing. If someone hits you and you hit them back out of anger but not to protect yourself, that’s another matter.Your mother should not be pushing or slapping you. That’s child abuse in my opinion although it legally might not be in your state. Because you recognize that she did that when you two were having a heated argument, you realize that you have the power to prevent this from happening by avoiding heated arguments or just being calm and respectful. I’m not blaming you for what she did, but I’m pointing out that you have some ability to protect yourself by keeping calm and respectful.I recommend that you ask your mom if you can attend some family counseling together so that you learn to communicate better. Tell her that you don’t want to be hard to deal with but you also don’t want to get pushed and slapped. Say it calmly and respectfully. Convince her that it would be good for both of you.If this happens again, understand that you can talk to your school counselor about this and ask for advice. The counselor may make a report, and that might result in a social worker being assigned and you both having to go to family counseling. There may be a judge involved. Don’t be afraid of that, but if you can work it out so that no more violence occurs, it will be much better for both of you.So, instead of hitting your mom back, help her do the right thing by working hard to remain calm and respectful and also telling her you want a good relationship and cannot live in a place where you get pushed and slapped. Ask her if she can commit to not doing that again and tell her you’ll try to be easier to live with but need help from family counseling and maybe a communication course.

Would this be illegal (15 yr old girl & 17 year old guy)?
you shouldn't have sex before marrige. and i know you are probably just thinking "ugh its one of those christian freaks" or whatever, but im being serious. i mean think about it. if you have sex with this guy, and yall end up breaking up or something, and then you actually do get married, how would your husband feel knowing you have already given away your body? i know i woul never marry anyone that had already had sex. and for those men who dont care if you have donte it or not, that just means that they love you for your body, and not you. which also means they will probably dump you. just dont have sex yet..its so immature. and btw-what if you get pregnant? good luck with that one.
Would it be illegal if i took my dad's m16a1 to go hunting?even if its semi?
It depends on what state you live in. In my state the model or function of the gun you are hunting with does not matter. Instead the only thing that matters is the caliber of the bullet. The .223 that the m16a1 fires is not big enough. The 7.62mm bullet that the AK-47 fires is plenty big. So in my state you can hunt with an AK-47, but not an M16. If you had a M468, which is a M16/AR-15 style rifle, then it would be legal because those fire a 6.8mm bullet rather than .223/5.56mm Other states limit magazine capacity for hunting. If this was the case in your state you could simply buy a 5 or 10rd magazine for dad's M16 and it would then be legal if you did not have any restrictions on bullet size.
Is it illegal to impersonate a celebrity?
So my father has a Ferrari that he occasionally lets me drive. I was thinking it would be cool to dress and act like a celebrity, and go to a club, and possibly get a sense of celebrity life. But would it be illegal if I portrayed myself as Justin Bieber or any other celebrity? Would I be crossing a line if I told people I was Justin? Or could I simply dress and look like him and let them believe I am him without actually telling them? Essentially, I would like to know when the line would be crossed.
