don't you think they should be sent back to where they came?[/b]
How can someone be in a country illegally?
How on earth can a person be on a piece of ground illegally?
Can you illegally breathe air?

Any law which dictates illegality of location is obviously flawed and bogus, as it is ALWAYS subjective and is implimented by a person on a piece of land. How did he get there in the first place?

See.

It doesn't matter whether or not its flawed or illogical to some guy living in the sewers, it is the law, and it will continue to be the law until it is changed.

until then, those who violate the law should be punished.

No they shouldn't.
We all have individual responsibilities to adhere or not to adhere to laws and orders. There are no such things as:
- It's the law
- I was just following orders.

Nuremberg 1948.

Isn't that really just the definition of law? Laws are the forced will of people living on a piece of land.

so now you're comparing the holocaust to sending illegals back to where they came from?

yeah, I can see the connection.

No. Laws are the forced will of the ruling classes.

No and yes, at the same time.
No, I'm not comparing the holocaust to sending "illegals" back to where they come from.
Yes, I am suggesting that the conclusions of the Nuremberg trials are conclusions with a larger scope than the holocaust.

so the nuremberg trials give us the moral right to disobey laws we disagree with regardless of the how moronic it sounds.

yeah, that makes even more sense.

so the people at the bottom want to rape, steal, and murder and get away with it?

hmm, I can't help but think these so-called ruling classes are quite civilised, considering their laws prevent us from doing whatever we want regardless of the harm it causes.

So you won't prosecute when someone breaks into your home?

A legalistic approach is valid and respectable, indeed.

So when a person holds the passport of a country, then that person is
a full recipient of the same rights and obligations as any other citizen, regardless
of age, sex, ethnicity, political or individual orientation, etc. And the
rights include of course to criticize the status quo, pee on the flag ...[text shortened]... ntatives, and a long list of etceteras... within the legal channels, of course.

Fair enough.
No one debates the right to whine. Whine they can. It does not mean one hs to like them, or flag pissers, or crucifixes floating in urine, Maddonas with elephant dung and other such garbage. There are plenty of objectionable modes of expression. All protected under the first amendment. Does not mean I have to pat all these whiners in the back and say atta boy.

It would depend on what they're breaking in for, wouldn't it?
Say they were starving and breaking in to get food?

And if they were sitting in a field, which was hypothetically mine, then I certainly wouldn't prosecute.

You can't own land.

Yes.

And law only sounds umoronic from the view point of the person the law is protecting.
