Yes I get where you stand. The point IS that you are not a moral judge or a law maker, and those that are, disagree with you. I understand your stance and, now your examples are more specific, appreciate it, but that's not what law IS. It's standards that are acceptable for the society of the time to conform to. You have the intelligence to filter these and be choosier, but many others take them as face value. The law makers know this and therefore have set the 'bar' where it needs to be for the majority to be safe and well treated. You can't have laws that prescribe a code of conduct so safe that no interaction ever happens. You can choose to be more prescribed if you wish, but you can't judge those who follow the rules of those times as wrong doers. (Well you can, but legally, you have no rights to be thought correct).
