The law of any land is always decided by the dominant group-hence the word DOMINANT.

I don't know what your talking about! The problem here in America, is that America is under a one sided party rule, and a Dictatorship with George Bush. There isn't anyone to oppose them right now; because the Democrats can't pass any legislation without it being pushed down. It's all a waist of time until America wakes up and brings back a Democracy to the American people. These people that are in charge of our Government are warmongers and terrorists like Adolf Hitler was. They are even following quite a few of Hitlers ideologies with rule of the Country.

It was the traditional family structures that made the United State of America.\n\nFor over thousand of years the family structure had work.  For only 60+ years the liberal family structure had been implemented in the United State and we have a crisis!  Even our US President is a drunk!

The esoterics would argue that America is simply an idea carried in the hearts and minds of the loud and slightly wobbly people everywhere. \n\nAfter careful study I have come to the conclusion that geographically  it's somewhere below Canada. I'll get back to you...........can you remember where you were when you lost it?

Because the people that make the laws each have thier own morality. There are many countries ruled by dictators and as such what they say goes. It's also true that a lot of laws are based on religious values (many of the liberal countries have laws based on religion - eg UK on Christianity. Many religions prohibit homosexuality, so do the laws. \nBesides, homosexuality was illegal in lots of countries until very recently.

Attention:  Update...America IS a medieval fiefdom with a small minority of lord and lady plutocrats and everyone else either in the professional, bureaucrat or manual labor slave classes or the warrior cult.\n\nNo need for them to cut and run; after all, the oligarchy of wealth and power is in COMPLETE control of the situation!

The ones that are obeying the laws of the country trying to make a better future for themselves and their families are a blessing.  Those who are not abiding by the law are a hinderence the same way American criminals are.

It is the groundwork laid by the extreme right to take over the earth by means of global domination and imperialism.  it's all about controlling the worlds energy sources.  specifically fossil fuels.\n\nit's a baseline to establish class cleansing in this country.  Be afraid... be very afraid.\n\nThese people are the modern day equivilant of the Third Reich\n\nhere's what's really going on....\nhttp://www.pnac.info

law and justice are sometimes in conflict. justice is meted out according to lifestyles, ethnicity ,political affliations,gender,social standings,wealth, to name a few.however the law must prevail in order to be in a civilized society.law must prevail .take your luck on justice.

good question.  i've been in countries where there's a soldier on the corner with a machine gun.  yet when i have a cup of coffee with one of the locals they admit they perceive the US as a police state.  it's a quandary.  there is a lot of crime here.  the terrible thing is the more rules and laws, and the more police, the more crime.\n\nin a democracy the level of freedom is determined by voters.

Comes from the age old bell curve of society. All societies naturally strive for civilization. This is generally where the "5%" rule came in to play. The thinkers, doers, and other leaders generally amounted to about 5% of the over all population. This generates a bell curve, pulled up in the center by the three "C's", Centralist Common sense Conservatism. Half way down the curve on the right would then be the over conservatives as half way down on the left would be the moderates. At the bottom of the curve on the right were the extreme conservatives and at the bottom left, the liberals. Half way out the right wing are the ultra conservatives, (some call them neo-cons) and half way out the left wing, the progressive liberals. The two ends are where you find the fanatics, the religious fanatics on the far right and the atheists on the far left. Over time, in most countries, the conservatives are to the right and the labor party liberals to the left. When the curve slips too far one way or the other, the society generly falls. History shows this with the early Greeks, the Romans and even the Neanderthals.

You are kind of right. Our beliefs and personality are determined in where are we raised, what kind of parents we have, the political climate of our region. The culture and religion has shape the way we feel and think about social issues. This leads to action which therefore determines how our life will be like. I was raised in a pretty nothern blue state. My parens are Democrats and I grew up in a hispanic neighborhood so there was a lot of Democratic support. I also think that being Hispanic and Catholic has shaped the way I look at life which may determined how I act. So in an indirect way, our family and region determines our actions which will lead to how we control our lives.

it is because of the following.\n\n1. AMERICA thinks that they own the world\n2. They have the money and they ABUSE it\n3. They are miserable and AFRAID\n\nWell before you judge me of my answers let me explain\nTo let you know I live in Asia, the Philippines.\nAmerica thinks they own the world... -> This is true, you can se this on TV, hear it on radios.. America doing business all over the world. I mean it is not bad but because they are in the pinnacle of power they abuse it. they think they know each country, each culture. they think they are superior because they are first world, they're democratic and they are rich. But it is not all about the money or the power. Each country has its culture and its people. I can tell you that democracy is not always the best option of government. \n\nAmerica is also afraid that over the course of time, these regimes or budding power will destroy them. So what do they do?, they take actions while a growing country is still young and take them on their necks.\n\nSAD to say but its true. How you can prove it?, take away the comforts that you are in now, visit a third world country (like the Philippines, Cuba, Africa), live it, feel the culture the people and know firsthand how AMERICA destroys.

I don't think the majority of this country has a superiority complex. Government might... ha ha. Americans are self-involved and don't seem to care what goes on in other parts of the world. That might fuel the superior stereotype.

Canadians are part of the Commonwealth and so have common laws and morals with England and all the countries of the commonwealth. America just stands on there own even though there laws originated in England they have changed the laws and morals to prove they're better.

The formation of LAWS, was a way to govern, and oppress some men , while guiding and protecting the rest. There will always be those outside this BOX.\nImagine if you will, one of two societies  without laws. The first made up of equal like minded good people, (crime-less); the other made up of equal like minded criminals, ( lawless). Who would you rather live with. \nUnfortunately in a universe of balance, there is no GOOD, without Evil, and no EVIL without Good. No matter what, someone has to lose!!!
