I disagree. [/QUOTE]WTF?
So let me get this straight, it's okay to steal, but only from certain people? I can't even begin to attempt comprehension of that. [/QUOTE]Sorry. I just disagree. If you can find a way to steal back what little bit is left of all that pension money from Enron's bankruptcy, you will be my hero.
Look, two wrongs don't make a right, right? Not always. You injure me, and I have been harmed to the tune of $250K let's say. Now, I take you to court, and in order to right the wrong, the court takes $250K from you and gives it to me. The only difference had I sought the $250K from you through theft is whether it is a state-sponsored remedy or whether it is self-help.
Ask Jean Valjean if stealing is always wrong. What's a loaf of bread worth?
Your world may be full of absolutes. I live in the real world. There are no absolutes. Except to say "there is no middle ground, it is cut and dry." That is
almost always absolutely wrong.
