The laws of man

A simple concept, I'm sure, to those of us who have higher brain function to rival a toaster, or, gods be willing, even more intellectual capacity than your average household appliance.

Just because the law says it's legal/illegal, doesn't mean it's right.

I'm not talking about murder or theft or any of that tripe, I'm speaking about dealing with your personal issues. It does not do to be a complete fuckweasel just because you are not legally obligated to be a decent person. It does not do to do the bare minimum required of you to prevent swift and just punishment.

If you are being a useless fleshbag, or in any way hindering the pleasant operations of another human being, the law will not save you from being reprimanded. Do not bitch and moan about getting a lawyer when your pets leavings end up on your doorstep instead of your neighbors lawn. Do not cry about having your dishes "disappear" when you leave them on the counter for days at a time to rot. Do not assume that because the law says you can walk around in a speedo that you should.

People like that are the reason I'm such a cheery and loving individual. Seriously. Common sense should be enough to guide your everyday life. If you get confused about how long you need to wait to get your drivers license, or how much crack cocaine you can bring back across the border with you, then sure, check the books, but if the issue is so petty that a judge would be physically hurt by the thought of spending more than two words of his breath on your insipid argument then I say he has full right to tell you to sod off.

Don't be a douche bag. Don't be a leech, or at all a detriment. Don't be abrasive for the sake of being abrasive. Don't whine when you are punished for the above.

Deal with it like an adult, or move back with your parents. Whatever you want to do, just get the slag away from me with it before I resort to something highly illegal yet ultimately satisfying that may or may not involve a quart of zambuka and a match coming dangerously close to your pajamas.
