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

[Massive Lee]

I have a feeling Joey contracted herpes and gave it to his girlfriend...

[Joey Link]

Dude, you're rediculous. ;)

work on the pond if you have this much free time hahaha

Get your mom to work on the pond.

I just donated your laptop to outside in, you can afford another one ;)

[Pinepig]

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

While an extremely sad thought this is the current reality we live under.

Plus fucking one, ha ha.

I like to think I have a pretty diverse group of friends, but the only people I know that agree with you and Kenny are you and Kenny :P

Side note, lookin forward to installing those shocks tomorrow. COD4 this evening?

its a little ambiguous, ill wait for the other shoe to drop as im sure you have an exact situation in mind

[h0lmes]

If it means taking money from a millionaire to pay for the health care of a less privileged individual so that they shall live, then the answer is definitely a yes.

Bill Gates can do just fine with one less Porsche in his garage. Joe Blow cannot do just fine if hes dead.

[Farbin Kaiber]

^^^ I can't agree with this.

[Joey Link]

I think I've clarified as much as I'd like. I don't see the situation in which it would make a difference which 'entity' is taking from which 'entity' without their consent, for the purpose of giving to another 'entity'. We could be talking about a red rubber ball on a school playground, foreign aid, federal welfare programs, there are thousands of possibilities. I left it vague on purpose to see where people draw the line on what I thought was a well established principle that 'thou shall not steal'.

^^^ I can't agree with this.

Then you are immoral.

Money and wealth are held very high in our society but the health and well being of the citizens of this country comes first. Human lives are priceless.

[mrsleeve]

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

how cant it be that simple

[h0lmes]

Because it depends on who you are taking from, who you are giving to as well as what you are taking and what will result from your action.

[Alkasquawlik]

No. What's mine is mine, don't fucking touch it, I earned it. If I want to give some to someone, I will do it on my own, but do not force me.

o and balloshinakus was the uninformed idiot in the Obama thread, so don't pay him any attention.

[Pinepig]

Human lives are priceless.

Bullshit, in certain parts of the world they are pretty much worthless.

There is ideology and there is reality, they don't mix.

[Joey Link]

Because it depends on who you are taking from, who you are giving to as well as what you are taking and what will result from your action.

So am I right to gather from your statements that you are OK with theft, depending on who is doing the stealing and who is benefiting from the theft?
