Life puts different demands on people its not something to speak on with absolutes. What if they steal from you? Two wrongs dont make a right kinda thing but I'm not so sure, there's always circumstance and situations where personal one on one vigilantism might be an appropriate resolution. You might find your in a situation someday hope you don't.

Of course life demands different pressures on people, I understand that. Ive stolen before and I will steal again, I have no illusions of cleanliness.
That being said, doing what you have to do doesn't make it right. Sometimes you have to make an immoral decision to survive but don't try to justify your wrong actions. If you tell yourself that stealing is alright in SOME circumstances you end up loving by a flimsy and meaningless moral clmpass.
Stealing from anybody is wrong. Its wrong to steal from me, you, bill gates, or fucking walmatt. When j do something wrong I admit that I failed to think of a moral solution.

People who steal individuals' personal possessions out of basic want are generally real shitbags. Usually, wouldn't mind them getting whatever comes to them.

knightron said: This is a quote from the book, The Kite Runner, that really clicked with me.
Quote:
Now, no matter what the mullah teaches, there is only one sin, only one. And that is theft. Every other sin is a variation of theft... When you kill a man, you steal a life. You steal his wife's right to a husband, rob his children of a father. When you tell a lie, you steal someone's right to the truth. When you cheat, you steal the right to fairness... There is no act more wretched than stealing
I really like this quote. Now I will have to check this book out at my library. Thanks for the recommendation.
-------------------- To love. To be loved. To never forget your own insignificance. To never get used to the unspeakable violence and the vulgar disparity of life around you. To seek joy in the saddest places. To pursue beauty to its lair. To never simplify what is complicated or complicate what is simple. To respect strength, never power. Above all, to watch. To try and understand. To never look away. And never, never, to forget. Arundhati Roy

Thieves are the modern day gollums of this world. Who likes a gollum???

I really hate thieves, if you can't trust someone to walk inside your house without them shoving something into their pocket, then they lower than a piece of dirt and should get their ass kicked.
