THIS STATEMENT ALSO IS INTACT WITH WHAT ALBERT EINSTEIN WAS TRYING TO SAY “NEVER DO ANYTHING AGAINST YOUR CONSCIENCE EVEN IF THE STATE DEMANDS IT.” THIS MEANS THAT YOUR CONSCIENCE IS THE ONLY THING THAT CAN TELL YOU WHATS RIGHT OR WRONG, TO FIGHT AGAINST OTHERS MORALS AND ETHICAL ASPECTS FOR YOUR OWN. AMERICAS LIBERTY IS PUT INTO PLACE BY LAWS WHICH ARE MADE BY THE PEOPLE AND FOR THE PEOPLE.WITHOUT THE CONSCIENCE THERE WOULD BE NO GOVERNMENT, AND WITHOUT THE GOVERNMENT THERE WOULD BE NO FREEDOM.

the law of conscience is what makes us choose what we should and should not do. if we did not have consciences then we would not care if we did something. the government just trys to control what we do after we think of the consciences
This is a very good point. I mean look at our government, with corruption and shady under the table deals, who knows why we really have alot of the laws or people making the laws. Maybe if we had more morally upright people working for us and making sure we the people are getting what we need and are doing everything they can to ensure that our future and our childrens futures are not at jeapoardy, then maybe we wouldn't be at war and people could actually believe what the president is saying.
look up. that's me
this guy is like super cool man. he has an awesome quote. he is saying though the gov't tells u what u should or should not do, your brain tells u what u should or should not do in a way the touches your heart
Sometimes morality plays a role in what's right. Even the the law is set there are other things that the law doesn't inquire

This relates even to this campus. On occasion something will be asked/demanded of me that I have a conflict with on a basic moral level. For instance, all this nonsense about "no kissing" and "hug and release"... come on, now. It is INHUMANE to tell a man and a woman that they are literally NOT ALLOWED to kiss, or even hug for more than five seconds. There is more to life than a rulebook, and while some staff may realize this, they willingly turn a blind eye to it. Why? Because they NEED THIS JOB?!? Please. Money cannot be one's sole drive in life. If you are willing to defeat yourself, your BEING, for money, than you are one sad kitten.
IT IS JUST LIKE THE SAYING ONLY GOD COULD JUDGE ME. IT IS ABOUT HAVING STRONG VALUES AND PRINCIPLES, NO ONE COULD MAKE YOU FEEL BAD UNLESS YOU FEEL BAD WHITHIN YOUR SELF.
mr. rounds whats up with you and government, you must like it huh?
