It's perfectly fine to call someone out for doing something illegal while still holding onto morality... There are levels to this shit you know that right lmao

There are a lot of laws that have fuck all to do with morality, and laws that are directly relevant to morality/ethics. But to believe that law = moral is absurd.

And talking about the legality of something and calling it "fine" when it's legal isn't the same as talking about the morality of it.

What are talking about? Discussing whether something is or isn't legal is completely different and separate from what is or isn't moral. Human laws have nothing to do with morality, they are based on how people in power want to control their "subjects". That's it.

What do you mean by this? Why would you call someone out for doing something illegal? Because its bad? Why is it bad? Because legality = morality?

Thats another thing, people on this board dont like to have discussions anymore, they like to assert their own opinion and defend it vehemently. Its become much like reddit in that regard

I'm getting the impression that you don't get along well with others here. There are plenty of conversations had here, between people who disagree on things.

So what did you do/say to make people mad at you?

[LFAQs-redacted-quote]

Thats what im saying. If its situational, then you can never say something is bad because its illegal. You cant say its bad in this case because its illegal. Or fine because its legal. You should never be able to make that argument, but people do

Yeah exactly, it if its bad call them out because its bad, why also call them out for it being illegal, it weakens your argument. Because the guy whos marrying a minor can turn around and say well its legal right back in your face.

Something can be illegal and bad at the same time. I will wait for you to get over the shock of this news.

So what is your quibble? Sometimes something is bad and is illegal because of it. Just because it's not always the case does nothing to deny that it is true plenty of times.

The boring answer is there's no one definitive morality ruleset and can vary in massive ways from person to person. Likewise there's no one strict set of legalities so the two will always be at odds

Assuming the standard "moral, good" outlook a significant portion of law is inherently immoral specifically to shield deplorable behavior.

Ive got to get more sleep. My brain wanted to read it as lethality=mortality.

Or maybe that just reveals something about my brain.

As for the actual question, no, I do not so believe.
