Of course, it would be ludicrous for anyone to assert that laws rob people of their free will choices, essentially making zombies out of them. It is ludicrous to claim that free will can be thwarted by laws, or that only perverts and criminals should enjoy free will while normal people should have no free will to decide what kind of a society they are to live in, or what actions should be tolerated or not tolerated.


"Laws rob would-be bank robbers of their free will choice of whether to rob or not!"

If society wants to bring back Jim Crow they should be allowed to do so?

I'm still waiting for your answers to my questions in post #529.

The "laws" you refer to, were of course created in a society, that is not only socialist, it is fascism lite. Create laws in a society based on the freedom God gives us, and only man takes away, then we can have a real discussion. Anything else is theory.

Note:
Your cute little picture and conjecture is not the result of freedom, but of course one of the many events a society would go through to obtain it. The idea is a society that would choose not to rob the bank.
