Thread: New Updated Arms Code 2017

you can't claim that a meeting about a publication meets that criteria.... "its a conspiracy to make public" isn't wholly logical..

we should just rename every policy meeting, strategy meeting or cabinet meeting........... a conspiracy meeting... it'd be a lot simpler.

examine if you will your reason for choosing the word... you clearly mean to imply either illegality, unethical behaviour, or some form of underhanded activity...

my point is that its not...

I am only bound by what is determined to be the law, as is the case for the police.... we might not like that they push further that we think is acceptable with whatever agenda they have got going on, but if its not illegal and its a public response, then its not a conspiracy... its clearly not secret...??

And yes for legal offences of Conspiracy... there has to be a formed intent to break the law.... what would be the point otherwise...?

"conspiracy" is one of the more misapplied words these days for the "tin foil hat brigade."

I think those bits you mentioned fit quite nicely.

You are unfortunately limiting yourself to a very narrow definition for I'd say criminal law. To restrict that for everything else is a fallacy. If you take the wider definition then yes any closed meeting to decide on anything that will favour one group and negatively impact another is by definition is a conspiracy. Note that it can be something illegal or evil. So it could be construed that from the point of view of any party that is likely to be disadvantaged by such a decision it could seen it as 'evil'.
