Please provide your evidence.

In the USA it’s covered here. The Federal Criminal Perjury Statute,

Nice try 🙂
There’s no need for evidence, it’s a fact anyone can verify :rolleyes:
You obviously haven’t heard about the Nike case.

You made the claim. :rolleyes::rolleyes:

I gave support for perjury 😃

If you can’t debate with a kid…???

A debate requires two people capable of debating. You don’t understand that perjury and lying are not synonymous. Not my problem.
 
In the U.K. Perjury is covered in the statue of
Perjury Act 1911 (-)
Search lawindexpro for case law on this statute. This document is for private study purposes only. It is likely not to reflect the law as it stands today. It may be incomplete, and some provisions are likely to have been repealed or amended, and new ones inserted. 1.–(1) If any person lawfully sworn as a witness or as an interpreter in a judicial proceeding wilfully makes a statement material in that proceeding which he knows to be false or does not believe to be true, he shall be guilty of perjury, and shall, on conviction thereof on indictment, be liable to imprisonment for a term not exceeding seven years, or to a fine or to both such imprisonment and fine.
 
TY for attempting to tell a UK lawyer what the UK law is.
You’re still completely missing the point, a point which isn’t that relevant anyway. Feel happy to perseverate by yourself, either that or consult a dictionary.

Surly, as a lawyer you know the fallacies of Ad Hominem?
Translated from Latin to English, “Ad Hominem” means “against the man” or “against the person.”
An Ad Hominem is a general category of fallacies in which a claim or argument is rejected on the basis of some irrelevant fact about the author of or the person presenting the claim or argument. Typically, this fallacy involves two steps. First, an attack against the character of person making the claim, her circumstances, or her actions is made (or the character, circumstances, or actions of the person reporting the claim). Second, this attack is taken to be evidence against the claim or argument the person in question is making (or presenting). This type of “argument” has the following form:

  1. *]Person A makes claim X.
    *]Person B makes an attack on person A.
    *]Therefore A’s claim is false.

  1. The reason why an Ad Hominem (of any kind) is a fallacy is that the character, circumstances, or actions of a person do not (in most cases) have a bearing on the truth or falsity of the claim being made (or the quality of the argument being made).

AND you were answering this post
Actually, there is. In every jurisdiction in the United States, it is ILLEGAL to give false statements (lying) on most State and Federal forms, as well as in every single court of law, both local and Federal - it’s a well-known law commonly referred to as "perjury."
Not lying on the street …were you not?
 
Sheesh it gets so boring having meaningless conversations just because some people think they know more than they do…
very boring:rolleyes:
 
"Doc Keele:
No. So clearly the Ten Commandments aren’t enshrined in law in either the US or the UK. Next point?

PEPCIS:
Actually, there is still, even to this day, a majority of U.S. laws that are derived from Christian principles. For example, bankruptcy laws are based upon Old Testament law that commanded that once every seven years all people who still owed debts to someone were to be completely forgiven of those debts. U.S. law allows any citizen to “go bankrupt” every seven years - just liike OT law.

Many states still have laws on the books that allow a person to sue another person for “alienation of affection.” And if there are no “adultery” laws on the books, it’s only because new laws have superceded them, like “no-fault divorce” laws. It doesn’t make adultery legal, but it simply makes it unnecessary to sue on that basis - because the judge will simply go with no-fault over adultery any day. But that’s not a sign of how America is not governed by Christian principles, but it is a sign on how some in our judicial system try to mock God.
OK, not the point being made and totally irrelevant.
No kidding. You brought it up, not me. Since you’re having trouble maintaining a point through the thread, let me bring it out so that you might catch yourself up to speed.

You claimed that people like “us” just “don’t understand that many people cannot accept the Catholic position on abortion and shouldn’t have this imposed on them.

Well, having a law against abortion “imposed on them” is absolutely no different than having other laws (like lying, stealing, killing, speeding, etc, etc) imposed on them. That is why I asked you: "Should people have laws imposed on them like “Thou shalt not steal”; “Thou shalt not murder”; “Thou shalt not lie”? "

As I knew you would, you segued to a non sequitur response, simply because I put the archaic “Thou” in the question. Instead of just answering the question, you obfuscated to “This has nothing to do with the Ten Commandments.”

As I said, “NO kidding, Dick Tracy.” So, shall we get back to business, and you explain to me, if you can, why it is that people can have imposed on them laws such as “do not steal, do not murder, do not lie, do not speed, etc.” but they can’t have imposed on them a law not to abort a baby?

If you can’t answer the question, just say so. Don’t attempt to bring us on another rabbit trail.
Doc Keele:
OK, you do understand the difference between civil and criminal right?
Better than you.
 
Sheesh it gets so boring having meaningless conversations just because some people think they know more than they do…
very boring:rolleyes:
Yep. Very boring. :yawn: :sleep:

So, are you going to get back on topic, or what? 🤷

Why are laws against murder in general “okay” but laws against specifically killing your own child are “an unwanted imposition.” :confused:
 
What a wonderful post! 👍
full of the usual rancour
and misunderstanding

You don’t seem to be able to understand what the issues are, hence this lame stuff about obfuscation.
You don’t know the first thing about jurisprudence. Fact.
Of course laws are imposed on people, but certain laws shouldn’t be imposed on people. Many people believe that the area of abortion is one of them, and the reasons have been expounded at length on these fora. You like many here refuse to see that there is a difference that is relevant to some people between laws that affect autonomy in such a profound way as anti-abortion laws and other criminal laws. I doubt that you will either see that.

Since you’ve already dismissed my initial very relevant efforts as obfuscation, anything I post will be labelled as a rabbit trail by you. No debate possible.

I don’t need to demonstrate a fundamental difference between laws against murder and laws against abortion. I have posted many times about the problems with banning abortion - the effect on the woman’s autonomy. No doubt you won’t understand the point being made.

Law is not there to make people moral, except in a theocracy like the Iranian Islamic Republic. Not a good model of government. You may want a theocracy, but the majority do not. The majority do not want criminalisation of homosexuality. Law has several “jobs”, but making people moral is not one of them. Unless you understand the jobs of law, you can’t understand why some laws “should” be imposed and others not (the quotation marks indicate that I don’t necessarily agree a normative view is helpful).

You obviously don’t understand the difference between civil and criminal at all! Never mind. Your lack of understanding is not my problem.
 
Yep. Very boring. :yawn: :sleep:

So, are you going to get back on topic, or what? 🤷
Not me that went off topic.
Why are laws against murder in general “okay” but laws against specifically killing your own child are “an unwanted imposition.” :confused:
Law against killing a child are not an unwarranted imposition.
 
Not me that went off topic.

Law against killing a child are not an unwarranted imposition.
Good.

So when we call the killing of one’s own child an “abortion,” it’s still not an unwarranted imposition, to make a law against it. 🙂
I don’t need to demonstrate a fundamental difference between laws against murder and laws against abortion.
The only difference between murder and abortion is the age of the victim.
 
What a wonderful post! 👍 full of the usual rancour and misunderstanding
What it is full of is facts that you can’t answer, hence your continuing obfuscation. You’re the only one here who hasn’t noticed that you’re hiding from the truth in plain sight.
Doc Keele:
You don’t seem to be able to understand what the issues are, hence this lame stuff about obfuscation.
No, what we have here is your typical liberal BS where you never actually put out one single fact, but alluded to your thinking being the same as Worthy5. Are you the same person? If not, quit messing around with everyone’s time and debate.

But, then again, you’re not here to debate. You’re here as a flamer, trying to rouse people’s passions by stupid little petty games of obfuscation.
Doc Keele:
You don’t know the first thing about jurisprudence. Fact.
LOL And how are you going to prove such a stupid statement without actually challenging me on EXACTLY what I said, instead of making up ****?
Doc Keele:
Of course laws are imposed on people, but certain laws shouldn’t be imposed on people.
This is about as close as we will ever get from you actually admitting to any point. I suppose we might take some mild comfort in that. 🤷
Doc Keele:
Many people believe that the area of abortion is one of them…
So what? Many people believe that the area of abortion is one place that we need to have laws AGAINST it. As a matter of fact, poll after poll shows clearly that at the very minimum, people believe that there should be some restrictions on abortion. Many states have tried to place restrictions that state that no abortion can be carried out except in the case of the mother’s life, but courts keep on striking those decisions down based upon nonsense.
Doc Keele:
…and the reasons have been expounded at length on these fora.
Certainly not by you. No one here knows any reason that you believe that abortion should have no laws restricting it. We keep on asking, and you keep on obfuscating. People like you NEVER answer direct questions because they know that direct answers will ultimately lead to conclusions that they cannot bear, or defend against. Hence, your obfuscating.
Doc Keele:
You, like many here, refuse to see that there is a difference that is relevant to some people between laws that affect autonomy in such a profound way as anti-abortion laws and other criminal laws. I doubt that you will either see that.
I know that you fancy me, as well as most of the pro-lifers on this forum, as idiots that couldn’t possibly ever get anything figured out about why you do and say what you do and say. But the fact is, we do understand clearly that there is a profound difference in what you BELIEVE and what is reality. You believe that human life is not human, and therefore, you defend your nonsense against all scientific evidence.

We also understand that you BELIEVE that “laws affecting autonomy in such a profound way as anti-abortion laws” are not moral laws, because you operate on a “higher” moral plane than the rest of us pro-lifers. Your higher plane of morality sees that there is some moronic right to privacy embedded within the Constitution that supercedes God’s moral law of “Thou shalt not kill.”
Doc Keele:
Since you’ve already dismissed my initial very relevant efforts as obfuscation, anything I post will be labelled as a rabbit trail by you. No debate possible.
LOL I am literally ROFLMBO!!! Another wonderful game that liberals like you play, is to PROJECT their failing upon their opponents. You have mastered this losing tactic well.
Doc Keele:
I don’t need to demonstrate a fundamental difference between laws against murder and laws against abortion.
Of course not, because Doc Keele resides on a higher plane of moral consciousness than us mere peons of pro-life. Besides the fact that you know that it is IMPOSSIBLE to do so, so you obfuscate some more.
Doc Keele:
I have posted many times about the problems with banning abortion - the effect on the woman’s autonomy. No doubt you won’t understand the point being made.
No doubt you are quite wrong. I understand ABSOLUTELY what you are saying. The difference is that I REJECT your belief, because it fails to recognize the life that is being ended is a human life. You seem to be able to reject all modern science that clearly indicates that this is a human life.
Doc Keele:
Law is not there to make people moral…
True. Laws are like locks. They are placed there to keep honest people honest.
Doc Keele:
…except in a theocracy like the Iranian Islamic Republic.
Another famous pasttime of liberals: every chance you get, liken those pesky prolifers and other Christians who insist that you live a moral life as the equivalent of the Iranian Islamic Republic.
Doc Keele:
The majority do not want criminalisation of homosexuality.
More non sequiturs designed to obfuscate. Let’s try this one more time:

Enough of your obfuscating, Ok? Since you failed to answer the WHOLE REASON FOR THIS POST AND MY LAST POST, let’s get back to business, and you explain to me, if you can, why it is that people can have imposed on them laws such as “do not steal, do not murder, do not lie, do not speed, etc.” but they can’t have imposed on them a law not to abort a baby? The question is a WHY question, which actually demands more than a simple yes or no. It demands thought and reason.

If you can’t answer the question, just say so. Don’t attempt to bring us on another rabbit trail.
