Okay I edited it for you

Exactly what law is correct the old law the future laws or the present laws. What country has correct law can't all be correct but can all be wrong.

@Poncho69 exactly. There's no real answer and if there was, it would have to shift with public sentiment (or mass emotion).

@Tom81 emotions don't make logical ideas

@Poncho69 they don't, but they can, depending on the issue. I've been delving into psychology to understand emotions, and there is some logic behind them (even though it may be twisted, convoluted or just subconscious based on experience). Laws and ideas are also two very different things, both open to interpretation. How I interpret your question may be different to someone else's understanding - and this can be the crux of the problem. If laws are partly based on public consesus, is that not based on emotions to some degree? Certain things are illegal because society has a certain feeling towards that act. And sentencing is based on society consensus on feeling that certain acts are more horrific than others and demand harsher punishment. In general though, laws can be very arbitrary and certainly the system favours those with money or in power.
Interesting question though, a close friend of mine is studying law (we often discuss all the case studies she has to do), so by default, I'm learning about it too

@Tom81 my mum was a law teacher. My uncle a lawyer and aunt was a judge. My grandfather was a police officer and for 500+ years before that our family were all lawyers. I say we talk about 3 subjects in our family. Law religion and sports.

@Poncho69 well then I defer to your expertise . I'm definitely not an expert. From my experiences, the law isn't applied equally. Judges sometimes hand out ridiculously heavy sentences, sometimes ridiculously light, based on what?... sometimes little more than their personal views/ideas/feelings of the individual on the stand. I've been dealt a heavy sentence for something petty (possession of a BB gun) with no priors, while someone with a similar (but far worse multiple weapon) charge and a long criminal history gets off with a slap on the wrist. What's that based off other than how the judge feels?
Also, as you've mentioned, laws are different around the world - which to me demonstrates how different societies place different values based on how they feel towards a particular act.

@Tom81 yes it seems your status is biggest determining factor in sentence

I’m good with reason and logic and to hell with emotion and bleeding hearts syndrome. The law is Justice so make sure it works in the correct context. Yes I agree in cases where rights are enshrined, religious practices that are peaceful and law abiding -yes!
