Is it ok to take something without consent and give it to someone else?

[Joey Link]

I'm curious to see how the majority of you feel about taking something from someone without their consent and giving it to someone else, who didn't earn it, because you feel they need it more than the original person?

This is a simple yes or no question, because it's my poll and I don't believe the ends justifies the means (example: If I rob a bank to build a homeless shelter, it's still not OK).

I wonder where it's going... Must be about Obama... again. ;)

[Aptyp]

depends


I loved Robin Hood and Ocean's 11-13

Depends. Is that about venereal diseases?

I think this issue is a little more complicated than Yes/No can handle...

[Joey Link]

I don't understand how the scope or scale can change whether it's right or wrong...

If it's the government? Yes.
If it's you robbing a bank? No.

[Aptyp]

Because it has a lot to do with consequences. You could be saving a life or stealing.

[Joey Link]

If it's the government? Yes.
If it's you robbing a bank? No.

What else does your theory apply to?

[balooshinakus]

Well you are obviously talking about taxes, and the way it works is the rich get taxed more. Anyone who doesn't like this can suck a dick. My family is in the highest tax bracket btw. The government represents the people, you robbing a bank represents your own personal opinion and completely disregards everyone else opinion on the matter.

So because I picked ten grapes and your neighbor picked four grapes and you picked one grape, it's OK to take two of my grapes and one of his grapes and give them to you?

[Streichholzschächtelchen]

If it's the government? Yes.
If it's you? No.

Fuck the government.

Can't make a payment on a house? Lose your house and your possessions.

Government can't fill a check? Get a nice IOU, that is if you still have a job.

Fuck no it isn't. While I'm for helping people struggling I'm also for not fucking with people who git er done just to help em.

[balooshinakus]

All these threads are completely retarded. You're not changing my mind and I'm not changing yours. Nice weather today though.
