A Brief (and much needed) Explanation of the Finer Points of New Moore Law

[milestoturn.livejournal.com]

I would like to make a something very clear, since there are those who seem to think asking more than once will yield a more preferable response.

Those who commit crimes in their own worlds (considered "fake" by the New Moore government) cannot be prosecuted or punished for those crimes after their arrival in New Moore.

Expect no government intervention. While it seems unfair, our own worlds are perceived as fake, and thus the actions of those, no matter how much at risk they are for committing the crime again, never happened. Keep in mind that this also protects us from unnecessary prosecution from unknown worlds that are represented by tyrannical governments. I want to stress the importance of not engaging with those who have prior records in the world in which they come. Those who do will only hurt themselves and their cause. There is no proper representation in the "strike system" for those who assault—what the government deems to be—proper citizens. Keep all these risks in mind before you act. A proper defense does not make itself, it only arises from the truth.

And they fall under the categories of "constructive" and "requiring effort."

As does commenting on this post.

Hmm. Guess maybe I should stop.

[milestoturn.livejournal.com]

Perhaps if you had something to add, I would be more willing to offer something constructive.

You mean my sparkling personality isn't enough for you?

[milestoturn.livejournal.com]

Come now.

[misery-chic.livejournal.com]

I guess I could throw in my above-average vocabulary skills as well.

[milestoturn.livejournal.com]

I'm speaking more from a law sense.

[misery-chic.livejournal.com]

How would I know about law stuff? My mother's the lawyer. I'm just a kid.

[milestoturn.livejournal.com]

That excuse is unbecoming.

Unfortunately, it's also the truth. And if there is one thing I picked up from listening to my mother talk to her boss on the phone, it's the consequences of practicing law without a license.

I'm speaking plainly about the law at hand, and nothing about consequences of practicing law without a license. Just because you see yourself as a child, it does not mean that your opinion means nothing in this case. The truth is that you're still stuck here with the rest of us.

I'm not a child, I'm eighteen. So, technically, unless this crappy city has some weird set of statutes regarding age of majority, that would make me an adult. Calling myself a kid is meant more as a foil for the fact that I don't have a profession yet, and my mother does. I know I'm stuck here. I've already accepted it.

[milestoturn.livejournal.com]

I will refer to you in the way that you refer to yourself.

Now, do you have anything to add in this conversation?

[misery-chic.livejournal.com]

Well, seeing as how you've already refused the earlier offer of my sparkling personality, I guess not.
