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.
Really? I would think enacting such silly laws is the epitome of some institution trying to act like a babysitter here.
Looking up
www.dumblaws.com and going under Virginia I find there are laws prohibiting (or at least *were* - I think that site is a bit out of date, but that is irrelevant here) :
- Sex; except within marriage and with the Missionary position (and then only with the lights off)
- Trick or Treat during Halloween
- Tickling Women.
- Spitting on the Sidewalk
Of course whenever these laws are broken (do kids go trick+treating in Virginia, I wouldn't know?) the arguement you seem to be suggesting is that these kids should obey
these laws as you don't think the government babysit them. What?
And none of these or any more absurd than the above.
