Kilts on Jury Duty...

[flyv65]

I didn't want to start a debate here, but society does have established social morals, called laws. I was just surprised that no one on the panel of jurors had a moral problem with breaking the law.

Ahh, but breaking a law doesn't necessarily indicate that someone has violated a "social moral": many social mores are laws, but many laws do not reflect social mores. This has been true through the ages, eh?

Anyway, I don't want to get this thread moved to the Lockdown, so that's the last I'll say on that.

Really? I thought as long as we were civil with each other, and politely presented our positions on different subjects, the Mods would be somewhat forgiving of such discussions-perhaps moving a thread to a more accurate board. I've always enjoyed thoughtful debate-it keeps me from becoming entrenched in my thinking when I have to support my position, and re-evaluate it in light of possible additional information.

I do, on the other hand, encourage you to go kilted while doing your civic duty. :-D

A point we will all be able to agree on!

Bryan...in any case, no one should be surprised to find strongly held beliefs in any of our forum members. A toast to us, ladies and gentlemen...
