Laws often state that everyone is equal before the eyes of the law; they rarely state that you have to treat everyone the same.

Laws often state that you aren't allowed to abuse another person; they rarely state that you have to be polite to people.

The law specifies a bare minimum of what is acceptable brehaviour from a person, which is as I think it should be. I would not like to live in a country where it was against the law to have an argument with someone, or that I had to treat me son the same way as I treat the man on the street.
