Do you think it's a bad thing to be a skeptic? Is there a reason?
Skeptical of authority, or skeptical of the law? Those are two every different things. I think we, as a society, have every right to be skeptical of authority, considering the amount of corruption that's in the mass media and fictional works all over the place. We're almost expected to be skeptical.
Being skeptical is law is just lol. Coming from a first world country, I don't know what it's like to live in a place where being homosexual or even knowing someone is homosexual is a crime and gets you thrown in jail. So really it's not okay for be laugh it off, since people have it worse off than me. But in my country, if the law was that bad and detrimental to the public, it would have been changed by now or there'd be a social movement to overthrow the government, or something like that, lol.
But really, no, it's bad. You can be skeptical of something while still accepting it and abiding by the enforcement by it or of it.
Are you a skeptic? Why or why not?
No, because I see no reason to be skeptical over something as simple (in my instance) as authority/law when there's serious discrimination of minority going on. Things are more important than worrying about something that I know society will protect me from (for context, the Fitzgerald Inquiry has pretty ended major corruption in authority, due to the social impact something like that have. It could potentially ruin a political party, and no one wants to give up something like that).
