Ok, so say that there was a modern nazi germany (in terms of the sorts of laws they would have)
Well, technically, it would be against the law to be jewish, not white, or gay, or disabled, or insane, in that nation.
So would we have to enforce rules that we wouldn't be able to talk about that sort of stuff? So what if they are stupid laws, you say; What defines a good law and what defines a bad one? Laws are arbitrary things; as much as a lot of you would just love to believe, there is nothing that is absolutely right or wrong in every situation without have picked words that intentionally refer specifically to something that is indeed non-permissable (if only due to the arbitrary nature of the words used in these languages).
Want a more relevant (to here), modern-day example?
What if the no-creating-human/non-human-hybrids bill passed? Technically it would be illegal to create that, so would certain types of furfic suddenly become not allowed?
Reason I'm bringing this up is that there are some people who think that some things are definitely wrong, without having the proof to show it necessarily is.
/IS/ it wrong to do X? Well, this law says you can't do X in place Y, but does that necessarily dictate what is right and what is wrong? No, it doesn't. It may have been based upon what one person, some people, or a majority merely /believe/ is wrong, but is it really harming anyone?
(ok, I'll be back later, likely sometime this evening)
Also:
This is probably a discussion that might push right up on the grey areas of the rules, but, considering what the discussion is about, I think it really needed to be said. Still, don't use it as an excuse to blatantly break the rules to cause trouble & such guys.
