--- Quote from: Mr. Bones on July 03, 2017, 12:39:22 PM ---You seem to be implying that since the repercussions aren't very extreme that somehow makes it morally okay to break the law. --- End quote --- correct, the legal repercussions of an action don't determine how moral that action is, because the law isn't always right and just, and in cases where morality has anything to do with it, we make laws to uphold values we already hold, not the other way around. the simple fact that something is illegal has no bearing on how right or wrong people consider that action to be. the only relevance here is that people can point to the existence of a law to refer to their beliefs as the official stance of the government/nation as a whole. |
