  It’s nice to meet someone willing to have a real, civilized discussion, even though we have different views. Thank you. I just wanted to clarify what I meant in the first quote. Breaking laws, purely for the sake of breaking laws accomplishes nothing. Breaking laws in order to help someone is another matter, and I agree, is justified (to an extent). I have a lot of respect for the law, and I understand that many people do not share that respect. But I agree that the sole purpose of the law is to codify and mediate justice. And if there is an unjust law, it should be made just. Thanks for discussing with me! I really appreciated your points! Many people treat debates as a competition to be won, but I prefer to see them as opportunities to learn about yourself and others and to be able to think critically!

  I agree, but I would rephrase. I think it is the duty of citizens to reform unjust laws and use the legal avenues available to us to address the issue. Breaking laws, in and of itself, accomplishes nothing.

  I appreciated your comment! Thanks. Have an excellent day.

  Great point! I would like to add that obedience could also be about obedience to laws, or collective values. Or, it could be obedience or respect for an authority. Take the Charter of Rights and freedoms, for example. Obedience to the authority of that document ensures that the rights of the individual are respected, as well as the laws governing those rights and freedoms. Without obedience and respect for the document, and to the courts and laws of the land, a society falls apart

  Now, I’m speaking philosophically, this couldn’t happen to the UK. I’m just presenting another perspective! Thank you for your point, and have a lovely day! Best wishes.

  That’s a good point, I hadn’t considered that! Have a lovely day.

  If legal methods of reforming those laws are available, then they should be adhered to. Otherwise, we’re talking about a revolution against a corrupt government, which is a different matter entirely.

  Thanks for your perspective, I hadn’t considered that. Have a lovely day!

  Um… yes, I think that is technically and historically correct, but…

  I’m personally a big fan of laws. I think good laws and the teaching of virtue is an important part of the construction of a good society.

  What if, instead of perpetuating the narrative of diet culture and “healthy food” vs. “junk food”, we worked harder to provide food for those who actually need food. What if, and hear me out here, we educated people on making healthy decisions and more importantly, maintaining a healthy, positive relationship with food and their bodies?
