    There is no way people genuinely make color coding like this and think it’s a good idea. You gotta be trolling. What sane man assigns “Yes” to red and “No” to green and hits “publish?” Why must we be the makers of our own hell? Release me.

      Because red = negative i.e. you get arrested when knocking on doors and running away.

      Green = positive i.e. the police don’t have to waste time on teens doing knock-and-runs.

      It’s a street light indication if you should do it or not. Countries where it’s legal you get a green light to do it, countries where it’s illegal you should stop.

      I guess it has those colors because of the implication that “yes”=“bad” / “no”=“good”

      There is no way people would make a map like that just to say “x isn’t allowed in one country”. Yet, here we are.

      Sir, this is a meme sub.
