Why do Some People Feel that only Certain Laws Should be Obeyed????

smiling sam

"Should," I'm afraid, has already slipped out of our grasp. We'd better realize the hour and demand that all laws MUST be obeyed, or we're through!

Dude, its obvious you have never taken the time to read some the RETARDED laws on the books......I mean you could write books about all the laws this govt comes up with, many are designed to take away freedoms. Why aren't you outraged about that?

You are right again. They believe this way because it suits their agendas. There really is no logical excuse though, is there?

Do you obey all laws?
Ever make a turn while driving yet not give the proper turn signal?
Just wondering... where do YOU draw the line?

So give them all a ticket and get over it allready!

because they are idiots

I can't think of a law that should be broken, other than speeding to pass another vehicle.

It is their way of justifying a position on an issue. Unfortunately it is wrong to be biased when dealing with the law, and when you start upholding only the laws you agree with, problems arise. Just look at the problems we have right now concerning illegal aliens. All of that stems from not upholding our laws.

I keep saying that too ... if it's OK to break the immigration laws ... why not break the tax laws? It seems perfectly OK for this administration to look the other way when our immigration laws are broken, in fact they aid and abet the breaking of it in my opinion ... but try not to pay taxes ... :) Why is that? I mean, if it's OK to break one law, it's OK to break another, right? Personally I would draw the line at not breaking ANY laws ... and if you do, you pay the price ....

Because Bush said, "I am the Decider"

Mona

your right. We (the US) should enforce ALL the laws!

DaOgs

because they have a mind of their own and they feel they can make their own judgements.

isn't it a free country?

Everybody has they're own opinion of gray areas, unless they think in black and white. If i drop a wrapper, and its illegal to litter, i wouldn't consider myself to be breaking the law really compared to, say, stealing a car. It's sort of like white lies, they're not "real" lies, littering isn't a "real" crime. I'm not a litter bug though : ) . Um well I'm a goody goody so i probably would draw the line at anything that is against the law, breaking rules is different. Draw the line were the government can penalize you for it.

But on second thought, some people have very REATARDED laws, like in Arizona, a man can legally beat his wife, but not more than once a month .... c'mon! And in Alabama It is illegal to wear a fake moustache that causes laughter in church..... so , it depends on the person

I obey all laws--I don't speed or litter
So it can be done-and it is not hard! People who think it is--must be breaking them all the time so they lost their values. Maybe never had any-I think that is it!

Times change and discontent with antiquated laws is inevitable. There are thousands of seemingly ridiculous laws. For example, a horse thief in Montana can be hanged. In Texas one can be arrested for putting money in other peoples' parking meters. Sometimes, I believe changes don't come soon enough. I guess that's the price we pay for living in a democracy. Since most people don't vote, this gives the minority power. Have a nice day.

You cannot pick and choose who you let break the law. If an
American steals an ID, it's fraud and they are guilty of a felony...if an illegal steals an ID, there are those who want them to benefit from the taxes they paid on that SS#....Not no but Hell NO!

We must be determined to deport illegals!

Do it for the American Children who are getting a sub-standard education because teachers are double-burdened with Spanish speaking illegal or anchor children.

Do it for those who's services are cut back because our tax money is being funnelled to illegals and their cause...who is in greater need...an illegal who isn't supposed to be here or the elderly, disable or poor American...who is.

Just Do It!

Take a good look at the full range of laws in this country, including state and local laws, and it'll be obvious. There are hundreds of completely rediculous laws, laws that violate other laws, (not to mention the civil liberties described in the first few amendments) and laws that most citizens actually disagree with, but are maintained because certain corporations and groups profit from them, ie Tobacco companies that are very against marijuana legalization, who would want to smoke butts if you could buy a pack of joints? There are definately laws that have priority, and those are the ones we should be worried about people obeying. I think that there is a rational line that could be drawn, and that right now, there are too many laws, and they are infringing on our freedom.

Some laws are ridiculous. Look up Blue Sky laws for your state.

Coach D.

People in certain parts of this country don' like an excessive numbers of laws - but in other parts of the country, you can be have one law after another trying to regulate what you do. Some laws are more strictly than others. The Police don't writ the laws - they enforce them. They may feel it is a serious violation to speed in a school zone, but not that big of a deal if you are on a country road. It is a matter of the situation - I don;t believe it will create a state on anarchy

Well I guess everyone does have the right to break any law they want, but dont be surprised at whatever consequences roll your way.
