I noticed you ignored my response to your earlier post. So, do you still suggest we all live by "truth" when that might also result in you being decapitated by Muslims who are living by THEIR truth?
I did ignore part of your post.
A lot of times I just take a first concept, and plan on getting back to the rest later.........or not.
People can work put their own differences on sovereignty, if you cross a line you you get justified retaliation. People can work that stuff out without government. You learn pretty quick not to offend people.
I'm sure some people could. Just as I'm sure all people can't.
And it only takes one that can't to chop your head off.
Basically, you want your cake and eat it too. You want to tell people to be governed by their truth, but you also want to be able to instill some bit of restraint to others.
You want to decide what is and is not an appropriate reaction in others, when they are living their truth.
But, again, truth is subjective. Who are you to tell a radicalized Muslim where the line is that they can and can not cross?
We don't live in nature, though. We live in a civilized society with laws.
If you want to live in nature, that's fine. Go live in the wild, be free.
But if you want to live amongst humans, you live by the same laws they do, wherever they are.
And the fact that you're here, on a message board, indicates that you want to be amongst humans to some degree.
You're not a special little snowflake who gets to benefit from society while denying any sort of responsibility towards it. And by responsibility, I mean living by the laws everyone else lives by.
You may want to be. You may THINK you are. But you're not.

The strong survive
It's how nature works. I didn't invent it, I simply live in it.
You poor lawyers have to make a living I guess, not at my expense.

We all break multitudes of laws a day.
We have too many laws.
I break laws on purpose, nobody seems to care.
The laws are only important when the lawyer needs to make a buck.
Don't tread on my snow flake!
I like you AI.
I appreciate your understanding of law stuff.
Here's one, "nobody is above the law".
I disagree, we're all above the law because we made the law.
Now if we made the law it means we're above it, we can decide to follow it or not.
That is what civil disobedience is, I disagree with your stupid law.
Back in Thoreau's day there weren't nearly as many laws. Those guys could get away with challenging the law.
Nowadays, I agree with you, you can't buck the system, the law wins.
