Stealing does not make it cost more to operate, it lowers the profit that the corporation makes. If walmart loses $500 in merchandise, their employees will not get paid any less then they are already making, which is minimum wage.

Not so much. You have no duty to rescue someone from imminent death, even if it would be super safe and easy for you to do so.
The only exceptions are when you created the hazard or if you have a special relationship with the person in peril.

If that's true, then nobody should ever try to do anything for anybody. Hell, if you tried to help an old woman crossing the street you might trip and accidentally push her into oncoming traffic. You probably won't (just as the person who develops the vaccine probably won't be in the group that is killed), but since the possibility exists, it's not your decision to make.
What part of "not your choice to make" is difficult for you? http://news.walmart.com/news-archive/2011/04/06/walmart-increases-global-giving-in-last-fiscal-year-companys-us-foundation-continues-to-take-a-leadership-role-fighting-hunger
Quote:
Overall, Walmart and the Walmart Foundation’s giving in FYE11 includes:
$732 million in cash and in-kind gifts in the U.S., up from $467 million in fiscal year ending 2010; $66.8 million in cash and in-kind gifts in international markets, up from $45 million in fiscal year ending 2010; $114 million from Walmart’s customers and associates through in-store giving programs that benefit local charities; and $913 million in total charitable contributions from Walmart, its Foundations, its customers and its associates around the globe in fiscal year ending 2011.
Last May, Walmart announced a historic $2 billion commitment of cash and in-kind gifts to hunger relief organizations in the U.S. through 2015. The company is making good on its pledge, giving 256 million pounds of food to local food banks in the last fiscal year, the equivalent to 197 million meals. The retailer and its Foundation also gave $62 million in grants to U.S. hunger nonprofits.
And you have given what?

As a note, I did post a rebuttal statement to your dismissal of Kant's philosophy regarding this. It seems to have been lost in the shuffle. Your response to Muscaria made it relevant again tho.
All you say to the axe murderer is "no Im protecting him and can't let you in."
By stealing from wal-mart not only do you violate the first principle of universality but also deny the rationality of walmart's actions regarding what they deem fit.
Don't get me wrong, I hate walmart. But for once zappa is right, simply denying them patronage is the morally upright path here. IMO, at least.

WTF? Now you're trying to equate helping someone with killing someone?
It's the old womans choice to accept the help or not. Are you going to give a choice to the 10 poor humans you'd kill to save the others?

Wrong on both.
1. Stealing means that walmart purchases items that don't get sold, this is an increase in cost to operate. 2. Wal-Mart doesn't pay minimum wage.

Luckily, you don't have to be. I, on the other hand, am entirely sure that it's true in every state in the U.S.
Even when one of the two exceptions apply, it's not depraved heart homicide. It's only a civil liability.
You might be thinking of the poorly named "good Samaritan laws." They don't make it homicide, but there is a misdemeanor for failure to seek aid in certain conditions. Nonetheless, these laws aren't enforced, and it's widely presumed that they're unconstitutional anyway.

How does one effectively steal anyway? I've stolen plenty of little things from supermarkets and stuff (and I stopped) but I can only imagine the only reason I got away with it is because no one was actually looking at the monitors.

The analogy isn't perfect, but understand the point I'm making: In no circumstances do you have any certainty that your actions will produce the expected outcomes. Any moral action at all, by anyone is playing the odds to an extent.
In our imaginary hypothetical situation, I would argue that, since you have full knowledge of the choice you are making, choosing to not kill the ten would, morally, be directly equivalent to killing the other 1,000, just as if you had pulled the trigger yourself. The decision rests on your shoulders: not if you should kill, but who you should kill. It's not fair and it's not a decision anyone should have to make, but sometimes people really do have to make difficult choices.

I can tell you this: I tried to steal a pump from Home depot and got caught. Consequences:
1. 2 years probation 2. $800 in fines 3. $600 for expungement 4. It delayed my admission to the bar for over 2 years AFTER passing the exam.
That's 2 years of lawyer pay I didn't get because of it. Your mileage may vary, but getting caught will almost certainly reduce your employability.
