    You are still a criminal even though you haven't been caught.

      Yes, that's actually is what I meant.
      After reading some of the OT threads, I've even more out of sorts on this point.


      What are we doing here in Canada?

          Does a state that says that most of its citizens are criminals make sense?


          are you trying to confess something..

          I agree, the state says we are all criminals, but state also lets most of us walk free most of the time. As long as it knows where. And with whom. And why..

                Is it possible in Ausrtalia, AH, to trace back your lineage so that you can find out what your original crime was? That would be really cool.

                Some people say, "my ancestors were Poles and Germans." But you could say, "my ancestors were heretics and murderers."

                  In some cases, yes.

                    Yes, our crime was being Irish.

                      That's impossible, most Irish were shot on sight!

                        NOT TRUE.

                        The 'all would committ' thing.

                        At my local community centre/dance hall I once forgot my wallet with $65 and credit cards....FOR TWO DAYS...and it was returned with everything, by mail. That person could've made easy money with zero consequences, but they didn't cause they knew what was right.

                        A good experiment: Buy a cheap wallet and put 10 dollars in it, and your address and number. 'Forget' it in your local convenience store. See if it is returned to you with the money.

                        In my opinion there are many good people in the world who will do the right thing regardless of who is or is not watching (and that includes the g o d).

                        We have zero moral imperative to obey unjust laws.

                            In such a circumstance try to take advantage of double jeopardy laws.

                              Does a state that says that most of its citizens are criminals make sense?
                              Technically speaking - if your country supports the idea of innocent until proven guilty - that's exactly what you are, innocent until convicted in a court.

                              As for sharing music - where I stand that's a civil matter, not a criminal one.

                              Of course this idea of criminalization of all makes sense - to those in charge and intent on retaining their power.

                                Yes. Unless you win your appeal or the conviction is quashed.

                                Sucks, doesn't it?
