In that case, yes it does.
There's no such thing as a perfect world. Every decision has positive and negative consequences. "Right" is the best decision you can make under the circumstances. 
So not only do you advocate theft, but also murder? That's nice.
How the hell did you get that out of what I said? 
Would you seriously let 1000 people die so you didn't have to kill 10? How does that make any sense at all? That would make you a murderer -- in addition to the 10 that would have died either way, you would also have the 990 that you could have saved on your conscience.

Population control. 1,000 deaths is more than 10, the math is simple and the decision is easy.

AT LEAST 10 people are going to die either way. How would letting 990 die when you could have saved them make you any less of a murderer?
If you can save someone, and choose to let them die, you are a murderer. Therefore, if you could save 990 people but let them die, you are a murderer of 990 people.

If we want to get away from the knowledge that thieves are scumbags...
What if 1 of the 10 that you kill would have gone on to develop a vaccine that prevented the next flu pandemic? Not killing him could save millions.
It's not your choice to make.

I'm not a thief, illogical moralizer. I don't shoplift. However, that's mostly because I don't actually generally go into stores that I would shoplift from, because I think supporting them and giving them business is wrong too.
Not patronizing them is entirely ethical. Advocating stealing from them is not.Quote:

I believe Wal-Mart donates quite a bit to variouis charities. I bet it is quite a bit more than you do, John Dillinger. What if someone were to decide that stealing from Wal-Mart and donating the proceeds to NAMBLA is the best way to help the world? You got a problem with that?
I would have a problem with that because donating to that organization would not fit my ethical criteria of "maximize happiness, minimize suffering."
Oh so you get to decide what is the proper charity.
Let me guess. Your charitable giving amounts to 3 figures at most.
Wal-Mart provides an extremely valuable service in that it provides the lowest prices for goods. Their profit margin is shit and poor people are the greatest beneficiaries of their existence. You're fake moralizing is inept and bankrupt.

Except it is the walmart employees who get shafted. Theft is a major problem for walmart, they don't want to eat the loss, so its part of the problem for why the workers get shit pay.
thieves suck.

a little bit off topic but im in the belief that some people don't deserve to exist--i.e. child molesters ,rapists and such---and in those cases lethal injection is just WAYYY to nice of a way for them to go out---but yet they do--such is the fucked ways of the world---and yes I agree -- it is what it is-----and rich folks are "broke" if they cant get a new Mercedes every year and eat steak for dinner every night so they start laying folks off----and walmart like most shithead companies don't pay shit so they can get a new ride every year

Why would we want to get away from the topic of thievery when the thread is ABOUT theft.
And samurai, no you don't have to let the axe murderer in your house. You tell him that you cannot reveal the victim's whereabouts because you're protecting him. I don't see the contradiction, because that response violates neither the first nor second formulation.

The workers get paid what they are willing to work for. They don't get shafted.

Do you think you would ever get hired for a job if you have a conviction of theft on your record? In this competitive job environment, you would be shit out of luck.

Bullshit. Morals are not facts set in stone, they're fluid ideas that can change over time. The fact that they can change means there's no inherent absolute correctness in them, that they're only relevant until they aren't. And I'm not going to debate this with you so say what you want.
