Are "fun" crimes like rape, murder-for-kicks, or kiddie porn more ethical than crimes that aren't fun?
Does "fun" have any bearing on morality?

Well. Thats a good example.
Maybe it would help to clarify what I mean by fun/moral...
Coal mining - the way its done even today in 3rd world country, is what I would consider immoral job. Maybe since there is no way to neutralize the risk of dying from cancer at the end of the day, especially the way these things operate.
Hard work on a fishing board as hard as it is or newspaper delivery etc.. Nothing wrong with it.
As to the "fun" crimes question - I didn't fully understand what you mean. But certainly stealing a candy from store or even robbing a bank is more "ethical" than raping a 12 year old kid in my opinion. (I don't fully understand though why you ask that - especially with relation to crime).
