It's not the same as slavery, it's not the same as nazi Germany, in fact if ANYONE is being a NAZI about it, it's the people hell bent on breaking the law, believing it proves a point. Well, it does prove a point, that they are idiots for deciding that the right way to effect change is their way, and not the right way.
Why is it ok to break some laws, and not others.

What makes marijuana law breaking so bad specifically? You can't use "its against the law"

Were people drinking during prohibition so evil to you?

Why are so many that say they don't want the government telling them how to live and want smaller government against allowing people to smoke pot which is less harmful than alcohol. Me thinks they only want less government when it comes to what they want and more government for what they are against. The truth will set you free.

I hope you turn yourself into the law when you go one mph over the speed limit, jaywalk, or accidentally run a red light. We can't have criminals on the streets!!!! Maybe we should treat you like a criminal since you seem so adamant about not doing anything illegal?

First, you have listed 3 traffic violations, and not criminal activities.
Second, I do the speed limit, Since I am physically unable to walk any distance due to a permanent injury I received in Navy, You won't find me jaywalking anywhere, and running a red light is again a traffic violation, but since I pay attention to what I am doing while I drive instead of talking on the phone, texting, etc etc, you won't fnd me running any red lights either.

Now that we have the traffic violations out of the way, I carry a concealed weapon legally, I don't steal, and I don't have any illegal drugs.

Would you like to discuss YOUR criminal activities?

I wasnt alive during the prohibition, so I can't speak to it.

What I CAN say is, if the law is wrong, work to change it.

No what is NAZI is the fact that one would sell out a neighbor for minding his own business almost as if they get off on doing so! What is also NAZI is the fact that one would continue to support the government's intervention in our daily lives! To me that is criminal!

Nice to see that my sarcasm flew over your head. However, I'd wager a large amount of money that you do something illegal in your life The issue at hand was you not minding your own business. Sad world when folks will get involved in situations they really have no business and actually think they are doing something good. Amazing how the government and police can easily hoodwink people into ruining other's lives without an ounce of empathy or compassion.
