Okay, I don't have time to read the first three pages of this thread right now, so I'm just going to answer the topic question: Morals are something that are definitely different for different people, and there are entire "schools" on Ethics. However, breaking laws when convenient is something I don't condone, unless it's a ridiculously stupid law. For instance, I'm not going to risk NOT speeding around here; I can be going 10 over and the cops are still passing me. The cops would probably pull me over for not going fast enough otherwise >_>; Now, on the other hand, if it's a case of NEED versus convenience, I can see where it's unavoidable; for instance, stealing food to survive, killing in self-defense when no other option is available, etc. |

Killing in self defense isn't illegal though. |

True, but I'm just saying, I can't see where it would be okay any other way (outside of military, I guess...) |

I don't see any other instance to justify killing someone besides self defense or saving someone else's life. |

Except you condone the death penalty. Unless you don't view that as justified? |

I'm talking about laws for the citizens. I wish they'd stop taking forever to convict murderers and then just kill them and get it over with. When you sit on death row for 20 years, that's just stupid. Most of them have no remorse and don't deserve to live. |

I was thinking this topic was more about your basic laws people have to abide by. |

I opened my post by saying that I was responding to the topic title. Hell, the only thing I even read was the topic title. |
