- yannyu 10y agoCan you? I'm not sure most people are as consistent with their views on what laws are "good" or "bad" as you might think. Most people tend to judge the morality of their actions by intent, and judge the morality of others' actions by consequence, and thus form a picture of "I am more moral than most people". I'm sure that a deep analysis of pretty much anyone's morality will show a few logical inconsistencies.
