Because you said You see, I don't distinguish between "right" and "right".
What is further in evidence is that you do NOT understand that I don't see any reason that moral and legal should not match.
I understand that, but that assumes a perfect harmony between legal state and moral belief and we're not there and not going to *get* there without a lot of work but you keep using verb tenses that indicate we *are* there and then protesting the universe is outta whack.
The severe problem is that the word "right" can mean such an ambigous set of ideas that you have to define the terms for what you are saying before you can say it
I've already stated my position:
"legal" != "right"
You seem to be arguing that:
"legal" == "right
*sigh* read this again [link|http://z.iwethey.org/forums/render/content/show?contentid=5134|here]
"legal"=="right(" is true if you mean a person is given rights through legal means(and the first is almost a tautaology>
"legal" == "right" is false if you mean that something in righteous because it is legal and unrighteous because it is not
I'm not syaing "legal==right" or "legal != right", I'm saying it depends on what you mean by "right"
