It’s always amusing to realise how few understand that laws and rules only apply to those they can be enforced upon.
It may not be the spirit of these rules and laws, but it is what happens in practice.
International law is the best example of that.
- anonymouskimmer 3y ago> International law is the best example of that. The best example is what's happening in your own back yard. And there are plenty of examples there.
- ElFitz 3y agoMy back yard?
- anonymouskimmer 3y agoIn case you aren't English-native, this is a figure of speech: https://idioms.thefreedictionary.com/in+one%27s+own+back+yard https://idioms.thefreedictionary.com/in+one%27s+own+back+yar... Meaning that legal corruption or unfair application of the law probably exists within one's city or region. You don't have to look to international events. Seeing the corruption close by is more shocking than hearing about it far away.
- ElFitz 3y agoOh! I thought you perhaps were making assumptions about where I could be from and had some specific event from my supposed city / country in mind that I would have completely missed. You intended a more generic meaning than that.
