I think that society should introduce 7 fundamental rules, which would be above the law. No law may overwrite those rules, change them or be against them:
- One should act with compassion and empathy
- One’s own sense of justice must be put above the law
- Bodily freedom is supreme
- Freedoms of others, including freedom to offend, must be respected. One who violates the freedom of others gives up their freedom
- Unscientific beliefs are not allowed
- All who commit wrongdoing must rectify it.
- Above rules are interpreted according to common sense
Another thing I want to introduce, which is not a formal law, is optional taxation. People may choose not to pay taxes, but they would need to pay for public services.
yeah so everything is fine. its the same as throwing out the law. the serial killers own sense of morality is such that these people had to die. they were after all possessed. i will kill you if your common sense says different than mine.
It’s not throwing out the law. It’s protecting those who are against the law on the side of justice.
Justice is more important than law
like the serial killer. also religious rules. after all believing in god is common sense. well the right god. and those who feel its common sense not to just don’t have commone sense or the right personal code of morality. honestly im getting away from the point. anyone can break the so yes. it is throwing out the law.
If somebody does something bad, they forfeit their freedom and must rectify.
so law is enforced and their freedom curtailed despite their sense of justice and common sense. What the heck is the point of this whole post then? lets have a list of feel good rules that don’t matter in how we do things?
This would be different than the current system. Justice over arbitrary law. fairness over unfairness and freedom over oppression.
how so if it makes no difference in being arrested? basically it sounds more like a religious thing at that point and I would take the seven tenets over these.
Those rules are directly based on 7 tenets of the satanic temple.
What do you mean?
yeah so as a religion fine. you can have the common sense thing and such. but in an actual legal system it would not work. and what I mean by making no difference is that you will be arrested based on law regardless of these rules as you outlined before in the thread. so they make no difference. so yeah. feel good religion. personal philosophy. all good. part of legal system. not specific enough.
