In a civilized society, like ours, basically all laws are made to be followed religiously. Following laws creates equal opportunity for everyone and it also helps removing injustice to under priviledged members of our society. If you feel that some laws are not proper, there are various remedies available to you to amend them by approaching legal system such as Courts or approaching your local representatives to ask him/her to do the needful. Now if you do not want to follow some laws, it is your choice, be prepared to face music of appropriate penulties/punishments as per the violated LAWS. Not following laws will result into anarchy that was prevalent when civilization was started. Now the choice is with you. You want to GO BACK to uncivilized society or follow the laws, but at the same time trying to remove those portions of laws that you feel improper or unjust.

We don't have to follow the law. We can follow the law if we want to. And if we're really normal people, we will have a volution from ourself to follow the good laws.

Doesn't might make right??? Aren't laws made by those who have the ability to enforce them??? Be who you must! It's a part of the plan. Consider consequences before deciding your actions, for there are always consequences. They teach us what the real answers are!!!

First of all what is really law? Avoiding the official definition i would say that law is code of behavior which attempts to put everybody on the same level and that's is why everyone has to follow the law even us :-) Now if something is prohibited by law it must be immorale but every thing that is immorale may not be prohibited. For example if you want to buy a cinema ticket and bypass the long row of person waiting for their turn then you have done something immorable but which is not forbidden by law. Your question is very interesting...'do er always have to follow law?' I think in certain circumstances some law may be by passed. I will give you two examples: 1-If someone is severely injurred and you have to take him urgently to hospital i think that you can exceed the speed limit on the road to save his life. 2-If you work in an industry and suspect that your boss is stealing money you can bypass the 'privacy clause' and put the case at the police. Bottom line laws may changed but the morality change less.

I doesn't feel to follow at all times. See the world its so competitive, if we follow law in all cases, we will be put backwards and we can't achieve our aim. There will be time where hate those laws.
