    It doesn't bother me one bit, I have my own personal moral code that I abide by.

    It's funny what's illegal nowadays.

    20 years ago you could smoke in a pub & homosexuality was illegal.

    Now if you lit up in a pub, there's hell to pay.

    It'll bother you if you ever find yourself in court. That personal moral code crap won't wash with the judge!

    Depends on the law. If the law coincides with my moral code I won't break it. If it doesn't I won't have a problem breaking it.

    The moral blindness that leads to the nihilistic and dare I say juvenile belief that one's self-manifested moral code can override the established law should be denounced by all right-minded people.

    Nonsense.

    Whether you realise it or not you obey the law, as do the large majority of us and purposely steer clear of serious breaches of said law.

    You can't choose to live by your own moral code.

    Or, maybe you can if that moral code means not paying your TV licence or breaking an orange light. A true crusader.

    What if you are a homosexual and go to a country where homosexuality is illegal? Or one like South Africa in the apartheid years? Those are laws that I wouldn't live by and many didn't only to fall foul of the law.

    OP, I'd somewhat agree with you.

    I've broken the law many dozens of times on smaller items (not counting silly things like slightly breaking the speed limit or other nonsense). I've broken it several times quite seriously.

    It doesn't bother me at all but i'm always conscience of the risk of being caught when I do it. I see the law more as a set rules that are a good idea, provide consequences if caught breaking them, but I find many I disagree with and I don't mind breaking those once I'm reasonable sure I can evade being caught.

    Some i've broken for gain, some i've broken for what I'd consider justice, others for what I considered morally better than obeying the law.
    None that i've broken I consider had any victims. I wouldn't do something that would negatively affect someone else in any way I deem unreasonable. I feel like I have a good moral compass, so I am ok with that guideline.

    In the end, I may get into trouble and regret it. I may not get into trouble at all. I may even get into trouble and not regret it at all.
