In order to understand my position, you have to let go of this irrational view of law and regulation as codified bureaucratic non-sense. Like I said, read Hayek, he has done a lot of work in this area. I can sit here and type up what's on my mind, but you'll just ignore it and reply with the typical strawman. You still haven't demonstrated that you're not a troll. Give me a good reason.


I don't have to give you shit.  You made a claim, back up that claim.

My definition of law doesn't have a damn thing to do with it. 

Your job is to articulate an argument that will convince me that implicit, non-codified law with nothing but social shunning as punishment will control or eliminate behavior that even explicit, codified law backed by imprisonment and death has a tough time controlling.

Restated in words you might better understand...

You need to tell me why, if a bad person's bad actions are not deterred by written law promising physical punishment including financial loss, freedom loss, and even death, that same person will cease to engage in those actions if the only reprocussion they face is societal shame and outcast.
