The Death Penalty

**devonin** · 05-6-2008, 10:27 PM

If you feel that ethics and morality aren't concepts that apply to you, why do you ever obey a law? Why not just take what you want from people who have it. If they try and stop you, kill them. These things aren't wrong, so why shouldn't you?

In the claimed absence of a belief in any kind of moral or ethical code, Fear of consequences is why you submit yourself to the law, and you only fear consequences because you are too weak to oppose them.

There are only two reasons to not do things that are illegal: You believe it is wrong to do them, or you are too weak to stand up to the consequences of doing them anyway, take your pick.
