Description:

Just thinking about why we obey the law. Do you just do it cause you're told to, or do you actually believe in obeying the law? Please comment. I want to know what you think. Also, thanks for everybody who has subscribed to me so far! I really appreciate your support.

Agreed. It's interesting that we agree to abide by certain rules while many of us fail to ever question whether or not they're the types of rules we think should be followed.

Forgot sth: Think about the fact that pretty much all new "rules" developed during the "Third Reich" were legitimized, they became a law. My granddad was a medic during the 2nd WW. In 1944, Bavaria, he refused to take a gun for Hitlers "Volkssturm", a measure by which all Germans who could literally "hold a gun" had to fight for the so called "Endsieg"(final victory). He didn't obey the law, because he didn't want to kill other human beings. His behavior was illegal, but wasn't it righteous?

I usually obey the law, but when it collides with my moral and human principles, I have a rather critical attitude against the law. If people get tased by police for not stopping a phone call (search for it on youtube), I would say there is something wrong with the law. "The law" is not the law of nature. It is not impartial, not describing, but rather prescribing, therefore subjective and exposed to disposal, manipulation and mistakes. Thats why citizens of a democratic state MUST analyze it.

The goverment use fear to control they people of the country. Say for eg. They say that if people eat this certain food they will die because it's poisionous. When its not, the company of the food is trying to do something to the goverment. Woah. I can't belive I just said that. That was probably the most illogical comment I've given... Woah.
