I want 2 know if guy's accept and abide the laws. And if you do for what reason's.

Personally idrgaf even though some times the gov can be hypocrites.

I just keep to myself.

Cuz at the end of the day when i die, i die alone, and there's not a single person on the planet that im gonna have 2 answer to.

If not that way then it wont be that way now.

"The laws do not apply to me, but I follow them out of respect" - Me, so I guess that answer would be yes.

It's only a crime when you get caught really.

Of course I have morals but you can get away with breaking most laws, tons of people do everyday. Just got to use your head.

Yes...why wouldn't I? I find that people who think that the law of the land doesn't apply to them are morons. "Oh you think you're above everyone"? What a joke. Some laws are controversial and need to be changed and thats a big grey area I don't want to get into but besides that.....just follow the rules. You'll be looked at as a normal persons that way.

The laws exist to be enforced

If you don't give anybody a reason to enforce them against you who cares

"Rules are there to control you and protect you" that is true, but what does it mean to be free?

I follow my morals and values , nothing else.
I do believe that we need some rules in society , but a lot of laws are totally outdated, stupid or wrongly used .

Rules are necessary

having the legal and political rights of a citizen
enjoying civil and political liberty <free citizens>
enjoying political independence or freedom from outside domination
enjoying personal freedom : not subject to the control or domination of another

This is what Merriam-Webster says on the word "free". Rules aren't their to protect you they're there to protect others from you.

Necessary? Yeah, to maintain order.

....Imaginary Prison......

I used the wrong word. I should have said freedom. :|

Yeah, I obey the law. Reason?....probably just that the consequences are too bothersome

Yes, I abide the law since I don't see a reason to oppose it. This isn't the 16th century, you can't go around starting your own revolution if you're not satisfied with the law. I don't wanna waste my years fearing if someday I will get caught for even the smallest crime.

Uhh, well... :sweat: I've done a few "minor" illegal things in my life (like forging documents), but I don't have a reason to commit actual serious crimes.
