The woman is Big Barda, a DC Comics character. I think the scene is from Birds of Prey #109 which came out in 2007. I found an online synopsis that stated "My personal favorite about it must have been Big Barda playing with Pokemon Cards!" for that particular issue.

I guess my argument is this ... laws are usually written (or an attempt is made to write them) in a fashion in which their violation can be determined via observation of objective factors. For example, if you take something that does not belong to you ... that is stealing. But you are arguing that certain criminal activities (e.g. violating immigration laws) is acceptable based upon the subjective intent (e.g. wanting a better life) of the violator, even though they are breaking the law. Therefore, I assume based upon your logic that is okay for people to break other laws if they believe that they have sufficient or acceptable motivation to break the law. So, if a drug dealer argues that he needs to sell heroin to pay the rent, or I steal something to pay some medical bills, that's cool? Not saying that the immigration laws do not need to be fixed. They do. Not saying I have a beef against immigrants. I don't. BTW, my parents immigrated here ... legally. Just don't like the argument that immigrating is so hard that it's okay to break the law and then violators bitch about being arrested for the violation.

But the illegal immigrants are also being hypocritical. If they are fleeing a country that is lawless or overrun by criminal elements ... then how can they reasonably ask us not to enforce our own laws against them for their criminal actions? If we didn't enforce our laws then we'd be no better than the country they just fled from.

But in your example, if you downloaded the movie and were caught you be punished accordingly. You knew the risks and accepted them. You then really can't complain when faced with arrest and fines as a result of your criminal action that you shouldn't be punished. I have nothing against immigration. I have nothing against changing immigration laws. But until the laws are changed you kind of have to obey the laws. Sorry.

Your argument appears to be premised upon the idea that it is okay to break the law provided that the offender has subjective intent of sufficient moral value. "What do you gain from stealing some bauble. A: Some bauble." Not neccessarily. Perhaps I wanted to steal the bauble in order to feed myself, pay a medical bill or pay off my mortgage. All those purposes appear to be worthwhile - sustenance, medical treatment, housing. Therefore, I should be allowed to steal provided I have sufficient moral intent.

In a nutshell, if you want something and it is too hard to obtain it legally (e.g. too expensive, takes too long) then it is okay to break the law and obtain it illegally? Is that the basic gist? I'll keep that in mind the next time I'm out at the stores and some bauble captures my eye.

How was her comment "incoherent"? I understood what she was saying and she articulated it well.
