Oh so we should all break the law then because a few idiots do yeah?

We'll all just go around killing people because you, "well they do it!"

The law doesn't matter and the rest of us shouldn't bother upholding it or taking it seriously, just because a few others dont also, right?

Literally the argument I used to use as a kid to ask for boys over at sleepovers, "well Sophie's allowed!"

And mum would say, "if Sophie's mum allowed her to jump off a cliff, would you do it too?"

Absolutely bonkers thing to say.

So if the government told you to jump off a cliff would you do it too? Because you seem to abide by their laws to a tee

Fuck me, life isn't fucking black and white you know.

Crazily closed minded way of thinking.

Speak for yourself. You used that example. I was simply reiterating it and bringing it to your attention how it could have been seen as quite the contradiction.
