We can't live lawlessly though.
I never suggested that I do or that we should live lawlessly. It's in my own self interest to obey laws, I've got much better uses for my time than sitting in a jail cell.
The way I explain my morals makes me seem like I'm this huge starfish, but I'm really not. I'm not out there to screw over my parents. I don't act like a massive roosterwad all the time. I'm courteous and friendly to people, and I respect most of the people I know to some extent, but I don't let anybody control my life more than I do. Not parents, not teachers, not police, nobody. It sounds really disrespectful when I say that the last time a teacher tried to take away my cell phone for texting during class I refused and demanded a meeting with the principal and said teacher to discuss the inappropriateness of a teacher attempting to remove my personal property from my possession, but that doesn't mean that I'm not extremely courteous to teachers on a day-to-day basis.
