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 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.
This doesn’t need to be specific, because you can use common sense. This is a serious proposal.
You can say that an officer who arrests you is taking away your freedom and therefore forfeits their freedom.
yeah see. so it basically works like no law. the officer and non officer will be attempting to arrest each other. also known as fighting. you may see it as serious but you just don’t seem to get that law has to be specific. some of our biggest issues in the modern age are laws not being specific enough and being interpreted badly. and again that is with stuff written pretty specifically.
Normal laws have to be interpreted literally, but here you interpret them according to common sense
ugh. we are at an impasse here. I can’t really explain the problem better about consistancy and laws being specific. one mans common sense is anothers nonsense.
