    My garbage can keeps filling up. What the point of emptying it?

    because if you didn't empty it you would have to either:
    A: throw your rubbish on your floor or
    B: take your rubbish all the way to the tip yourself bypassing the garbage man

    are you saying if we were to abolish copyright laws the outcome would be either
    A: an excess of music and movies for me to easily access or
    B: artists would sell their music directly to me - bypassing the 'distributor'

    I believed you were arguing that we should blindly follow piracy laws regardless of their effect on society simply because they were law.

    If that is not the case then why should we stop downloading movies despite their being no negative effects*

    So which is it? Should we blindly follow all laws, or use some judgement?

    *assuming no negative effects for the sake of this post as you were not obviously contending this in your post

    Trolling - you're not very good at it.
    simply repeating profanities and shouting offence at someone will not piss them off, they will likely just roll their eyes and ignore you.
    you need to make them believe that you are being serious or your words lose all meaning.
    if if they don't think that these are your genuine opinions then it will appear to them that they are in a genuine argument, which they will then feel the need to win. then every reply that doesnt agree with them will bring up just a little more rage.

    So if it became law that laws could not be changed ever and that every morning all people must sing the national anthem upon waking; you would just continue to do that for the rest of your life?

    Manning, have signed their lives away willingly to do what the Army asks them to do. And to follow orders. ... to carry out their orders to the t, and not to question them.

    anyone who would unconditionally agree to something when they don't even know what they are agreeing to is a complete and utter imbecile. fortunately, every now and then someone with enough brain capacity to make informed decisions slips in. i.e. Manning .

    when you violate the trust they put in you by acting like a traitor, well you deserve to be punished under the full extent of the law.

    when you violate basic humanity, you deserve to be re-educated until you can fit in without further violations or failing the possibility of that - removed from society - not rewarded and promoted.

    Equador is the only country that needs to recognise it. thats the thing about asylum, only the country granting it to you needs to recognise it, if everyone agreed on your status you could willingly travel between any countries you wished (and thus not need asyluym).
