Not everyone is a criminal, you adorable Eesti.

What's the point of having brains when you don't even use them?

They are designed to keep niggers like yourself locked behind bars or on the receiving end of an execution

So we can have a formal system by which people who don't adhere to the rules of society can be removed from it or made to pay a debt to it.

Laws aren't made to be followed. They are made to punish those who break them.

IT SAYS YOU'RE GAY

to punish those who dont obey them
whats ur point?
we dont need laws cos a small percentage of people risk punishment to break them?

Well, without law there is no concept of criminality to begin with

what's the point of oxygen if you're gonna stop breathing someday anyway?

What a stupid thread.

Best answer here.

Obey them? They are a tool of oppression just like any other form of religious priesthood with proscecutional characteristics ever was. Your law books are nothing but the modern form of a bible. Something someone can point to in order to project authority and instill fear.
Mankind is inherently good and can live by values alone.

What's the point of Sup Forums if OP is a faggot?

the laws are for citizens
the punishments are for criminals

you dumb fuck

This.
It's to codify punishment.

The same reason you roll up the windows on your car even though you just locked all the doors.

Not everyone will break a window to steal, but if the window is down and the opportunity is made that easy then those people might steal.

It's an honest mans lock type thing.

how is this unchecked you fucking plebs

Because once the law is broken we cage the nigger up so it can't break more of them

So you can justify killing criminals.

This

Laws are not, nor have they ever been focused on stopping the actions they prohibit. They are a framework for social interactions concerning two or more parties involved in a dispute, set up and agreed upon society so that there are limits placed on human-human predation, and so that disputes are settled in a civilized way that prevents endless cycles of punishment and revenge.

Predators ignore the rules, accepting the cost involved, prison etc, as acceptable risks for the high pay-offs of criminal activity.

Good men impose that cost, and need laws only as a method of classification in the processing of said predators and the few dumb-fucks who can't figure out how to get along any other way.
