Does it matter if the law is "okay?" Do they ask for your approval?
They should ask my approval! Unjust laws are unjust regardless of what country their originate from or even the means that the laws come about, democratic or by the decree of a dictator. Capital punishment for an act that harms no one but the person doing it is unjust.
Mind you I'm not replying to you. It's more in reply to people giving the predictable reply 'well you go to their country you have to obey their laws!" I would do that out of self interest but that in no way means that the people being executed somehow deserve their fate, as some people seem to be implying. Would they deserve it if they were in the US or Europe? Of course not. Thus the invisible line we call a border isn't that important to me when it comes to what is just or not.
