Could you send a friend to prison?

[StormShaun]

If it was something was really bad I would have to for everything good...

But if he was not guilty I would have to do anything to help him...

It would depend on what they did, and also how severe the crime was. Of course I will be less inclined to send a friend to prison as well.

There are no exceptions. No one has the right to a take another life regardless of how immoral they think that life was.

That is a point of view but it is not one I share. Given that the rich and powerful already believe themselves to have the right to destroy/end lives, I would have no problem if the favor is occasionally returned.

Two wrongs don?t make a right as cliche as it sounds. If the rich and powerful abuse their power like that then they should receive the same punishment as everyone else. Taking the law into your own hands has never worked.

Except in the cases where it has. Hell, the U.S. was founded by colonists who said that British law no longer works for them.

The uprisings in Egypt were illegal by Egyptian law. Should the people have worked within the system or done what they did where they took the law into their own hands?

The problem is that, after a few decades, those in power start making laws to ensure that they remain in power. Presuming you're American, take a look at our current society. From government to corporations to banks to Hollywood, do you really see the same laws that apply to the rest of us applying to them?

it's circumstantial. if it was a crime against another human, then i probably would. if it was a victimless crime, then fuck no.

It wouldn't be a crime if it was victimless

Tons of "crimes" are victimless. Especially in countries this sites users don't usually come from.

I can see in less developed countries like in the middle east but as far the US, Canada and alot of the europian countries go I really don't think there are any victimless crimes and even in the countries where there are I am sure they would argue elsewise saying things like being gay hurts others and stupid crap like that. However all arguing aside I see you point

How do you feel about music/movie/game piracy? Victimless or not?

The victim of that is all the people whos livelyhoods depend on the money thats produced from creating and distributing all those. It may not seem so bad when one person does it but if everybody does it adds up.

It only really doesn't seem so bad because everybody always just thinks of the people who get the majority of the profit like the music artists and recording studio's but all the little guys like the people who make the cd's to put the music on or the guys who edit the music the list goes on n on they all get screwed because they only get enough to live off of and when budgets get cut it really hurts there pay.
