  • It’s nice to meet someone willing to have a real, civilized discussion, even though we have different views. Thank you. I just wanted to clarify what I meant in the first quote. Breaking laws, purely for the sake of breaking laws accomplishes nothing. Breaking laws in order to help someone is another matter, and I agree, is justified (to an extent). I have a lot of respect for the law, and I understand that many people do not share that respect. But I agree that the sole purpose of the law is to codify and mediate justice. And if there is an unjust law, it should be made just. Thanks for discussing with me! I really appreciated your points! Many people treat debates as a competition to be won, but I prefer to see them as opportunities to learn about yourself and others and to be able to think critically!




  • Great point! I would like to add that obedience could also be about obedience to laws, or collective values. Or, it could be obedience or respect for an authority. Take the Charter of Rights and freedoms, for example. Obedience to the authority of that document ensures that the rights of the individual are respected, as well as the laws governing those rights and freedoms. Without obedience and respect for the document, and to the courts and laws of the land, a society falls apart

    Now, I’m speaking philosophically, this couldn’t happen to the UK. I’m just presenting another perspective! Thank you for your point, and have a lovely day! Best wishes.
