why do people choose to live by the law?

Question

they state things like "oh thats against the law"as if breaking the law is a worse offence than the actual offence,the law has shown and proved itself not to like law abiding people time and time again
but some still think it is protecting them and with them all the way~ITS NOT
i live my life how i was raised by my parents
to do the right thing by myself and also to others
i do not need some old stuffy ponce who has no idea
about life on a normal basis dictating to me what is right and what is wrong,its not they who stop me from doing wrong its me who stops me from doing bad things
they honestly beleive that if they dissapeared tommorow
every single one of us would go crazy and commit all kinds of atrocities just because we could,we are all capable of savage actions in their eyes.and we must be tethered to a law that provokes more than it has ever prevented do you agree

leonard s:that goes to show the morals of a whole culture that is born evil its in their nature that is their norm its acceptable to them. im referring to civilised countrys and the majoritys of people within respecting something that is not and never has been placed there for their benefit,its for those who put it there in the first place benefit only

Answer 1

The law does not protect us. It is a man made farce to produce revenue. When the revenue is not enough they change the laws.
We are all guilty until we prove we are innocent.
Even in the eyes of the Attorney's we've paid thousands of dollars.
so WTF can you do.

I personally would like to buy my own Island and tell them all to FO

Answer 2

I don't want to be in jail. Some people truly don't know right from wrong in many different situations. I like to think the laws that are in place protect the innocent law abiding citizens, an attempt to keep the vast majority safe.

Answer 3

I make you right. I was brought up in a good and proper way. I know what is right and I know what is wrong. I agree with some laws and disagree with others. I dont call the police when I have problems because I want action. I do it myself. Human nature???
If you are too old to defend yourself, fair enough.
But able bodied men should look after their self

Answer 4

Why do people CHOOSE to live by the law? Choose is the operative word, it's were civilization started 9000 to 120000 years ago. its why we can live together without acting like animals
look to places in the world were they don't choose to live by the law(a lot of the middle east) they get large scale rapes,robberies,murders for fun,assaults against children and women. this is because a lot of people choose not to abide by the law and the culture does not insist that they do.(THERE OTHER REGIONS THE MIDDLE EAST WAS JUST ONE AREA AND ONE GROUP OF PEOPLE FOR EXAMPLE)

In our society sometimes it is worse to break the law than the offense itself ( illegal immigration to name one)

Answer 5

You live by the law because society has a set of rules to obey, some families have no regard to the law so we need it to stop them destroying the quality of life for others.

Answer 6
