Uphold the laws and values for yourself...But isn't that just what you said was not my duty, and I countered that it was? Your arguments throughout this thread have been contradictory. Perhaps a course in logic or philosophy would focus your thinking. Syntax, spelling, punctuation, and typing would help too.
Bah English class was overrated and it's much faster to type in this manner since i'm at work and have to focus on several things at once. As for my statements... sigh... maybe I'm not the one for words but you are misunderstanding me. You said you should uphold your values by inducing them into other people.. action isn't the same as upholding. You are advocating your beliefs and your values should be instilled or forced onto society. Upholding one's value's is living up to them yourself... sure you can teach or pray or council people to see the light of your values.. but that is much different than slapping a law in front of them and saying I command it. Maybe that explains my position better for you?
