No sir, and a common fault in young people these days. It's illegal, weither or not you get caught. It's the difference between right and wrong, and when you say "it's only wrong if you get caught" you get warped values. That phrase (and justification for wrong behavior) needs to be stomped out without mercy.

You do know that "illegal" and "wrong" aren't synonymous, right?

Correct, in most instances. Perhaps integrity would fit the usage better. It's doing the right thing even though no one is watching.

Integrity has nothing to do with following the law, either.

No. In most cases, right IS legal, and legal IS right. When it is not, it is time for legally changing the law.



Apparently you aren't getting the hang of it...they are not the same thing at all, though they do reside in the same place occasionally.

No, I do understand. You don't.
Edit: I'm not going to debate this with you. Read Madison and Locke for starters, and get back to me.

You mean the guys who wrote about having a severely limited government? Yeah, I doubt they're as confused as you seem to be.
