| Quote: | Of course, in that instance, being a woman and getting behind the wheel would probably not be the most productive way of getting that law struck down. | No, but obviously the law should be changed. Women have as much right to drive as men. No matter what country they're in. It's always wise to obey the laws of whatever country you're in, but that doesn't mean those laws shouldn't be changed.
Quote: | I doubt the country cares very much if you think their laws are unjust or not. That's why it's their laws. I'm sure those countries are thinking a few things about the U.S. and its laws too. | Whether they care about my views is not the issue. And of course there are unust laws in western countries like the US. Those unjust laws should be changed. Like laws against gay marriage in various US states, laws against abortion in certain western countries, or even California's intrusive law against trans-fats. It all needs to go. Same as laws (in any country) banning homosexuality or women driving or whatever. Passing restrictive laws is an abuse of power and an oppression of the people.
Quote: | Of course not. I certainly dont understand, or agree, with a lot of their in my western opinions, outdated laws. But this is how they live. And i wouldn't go to that country and flout their laws just because i think it's my god given right as a western civillian to be exempt from them because that isn't how i live in my own country. | Sure, don't go to their country and flout their laws. But feel free to criticise laws which deserve to be criticsed. I'd never go to a country like Dubai that has so many restrictive laws. __________________ Free Tibet. And Iran. And Zimbabwe. |
