can u solve this equation? Freedom + law = x. What does x represent?

[Blackmirror]

Let me think it over ....

[Stoner]

Freedom minus Law= anarchy
Freedom+Law= Civilized Society

[Blackmirror]

As simple as that

[Stoner]

A generality, of course........some societies being more civilized than others.

[Blackmirror]

Well my equation would be different lol
but you knew that Jack

[Stoner]

Let's see your equation.

[Pinki Tuscaderro]

Clever answer, but can you define civilized?

[Blackmirror]

Not in here lol

[Paquadez]

Since:-

"The law is the crystallisation of the prejudices of the majority,"

Ergo:-

Freedom + Law = Lack of Freedom + Prejudice.

Or, more cynically:-

Freedom + Law = Freedom + Bloody Lawyers and No Money!

A group (society) whose intents and actions are self benefiting to the group.
An anarchy would be the antithesis with the objective being only the consideration of the individual .

Actually, I could have left out the stipulation of 'civilized' as primitive cultures also incorporate rule sets....but the successes of such have in practicality resulted in what we see as advanced cultures....technology, medicine, arts.....the process had to start somewhere......but the result is what we see in the benefits of cooperation.......and that comes from Law.


Your turn
What is your solution for 'x'?

A little cynical this morning Paq?

Freedom (to do what we want)
+ law (to stop us running naked down the high street )
= a spell at her majesties pleasure

Perhaps some cooperation would have mitigated the charges
