Then the law is an ass, my man, the law is an ass.
Seriously though your defense of "Its the law!", "Its the law!" is rather tiresome and sickening; under MODU logic then escaping slaves in the 1850s south should have held "responisible for their actions". Whatever that means. I know that is an extreme example; but there are good rules and there are bad rules. This is a clear example of the latter.
*sigh* "... your defense of ..." I never said the laws/rules cannot/should not be changed. I just seem to have to constantly remind the viper pit on here from time to time that people are punished because there is a law/rule in place. They make it sound like these things are happening for no reason. Well, there is a reason. They broke the law/rule. Yes, people are suppose to be responsible for their actions, and if their actions result in punishment, they have no one to blame but themselves. If you've got a problem with that, go cry somewhere else. It's not my job (or the government) to babysit you. You (both you and people in general) are an "adult," so act like one. So forgive me and get over yourself.
