  • I didn't say it should not matter at all; I just said it should be the last thing on your checklist. If there's no reason other than "it's the law" to think or behave a certain way, then maybe it's time to reexamine the law. There should be a good reason WHY something is illegal. Now there are plenty of reasons why, in the specific case you were talking about, what that teacher did was wrong. But your implication that the law is the first, last, and only part of that argument is what I have a problem with.

    Oh, I completely agree with amending the laws. I personally disagree with that particular law. I fantasized like crazy about my Gym and French teachers in school. That law was the bane of my fantasies.

    Totally sexist.
