    One killed people and the one didn't. I'll let you figure out which is which.

      I'm not the one saying there's no substantive difference. You were saying that there's no substantive difference between these people and the judge because they both broke the law.

        I don't really see how that is at all relevent when it comes to governments overstepping the authority given to them.

          So if a local magistrate in India decided to ignore British law and not prosecute folks like Gandhi, he'd be an evil fashionable criminal because he usurped the crown's authority?

            Is this going to be a battle of stupid questions? Anyway, so if the mayor of Austin decided to start locking up people who go by the screen name Ramo anywhere on the internet because people like that pose a great risk to public safety and does it in violation of Texas law, would you turn yourself in? Simply because someone supports an end goal doesn't mean they have to support the means used to achieve it.

              If it's a stupid question, it's because I'm refuting a stupid attitude.

                You're saying it's wrong because it's illegal. If that's true, any illegal action is wrong (at least as pertaining to governments).

                  Generally, breaking the law IS bad, and has it's own negative ethical value. But If the positive value from the action itself is bigger than the negative value from the fact that you're breaking the law, the action is still moral.

                  Goddamn, Utilitarian ethical calculus NEVER FAILS.

                      So are you going to answer my stupid question?

                              You: If that's true, any illegal action is wrong (at least as pertaining to governments).

                              Me: When it comes to the use and abuse governmental authority, yes.

                              What more do you need Ramo? Or is there another stupid question I missed?

                                Just wanted you to make you admit that you're an authoritarian who believes it's ok to lock up Gandhi.

                                I have no more questions.
