Post your personal idiosyncratic moral values, the stranger the better. - Has the cat burglar earned what he's taken or is he just a glamorized thief?

[Daddy's Little Kitten]

Piracy doesn't exist. Copyright is retarded.

It's not wrong to tell someone to kill themselves. If they end up dead, they were gonna do it whether you told them or not.

 

[Male Idiot]

Piracy is counterfeiting. Pirated products work.

If someone magic 6d prints builds a Ferrari in his back yard, sells it to me 1000 dollars and it is exactly the same as a real Ferrari, that was money well spent.

Lets take 3 coins. Adolfcoin has 14 grams of gold in it, the rest is copper.

If le happy merchant pays me in Einsteincoin that has 14grams of gold, I wasn't ripped off. It is all good. The coin maybe counterfeit but holds the same gold.

If he pays me in Memecoin that has 14g lead and is worth nothing, I will be mati.

Stealing is taking something physically from someone that causes them to not have something they had. Like I would be mad if someone took my favourite lamp. It isn't worth much but I like it.

A talmudic stoning is a kosher and based way to deal with gyppo thievery.

 

[The Last Stand]

I don't believe in having sex with somebody unless you two are dedicated to spending your lives together. If you two end up having a child and neither of you want to be together, that can affect the child's growth. Sex used to be an intimate, beautiful connection between people, now you can just sell it off for instant gratification through lust.

 

[Gog & Magog]

Even one cent stolen is enough of a reason to kill a thief.

Theft itself isn't immoral. Who was robbed, who did the robbing, why, and the repercussions which come after, are what determine the potential immorality of it. You might think you disagree, yet in practice nobody truly disagrees with this sentiment. Of course, the roundabout way of saying this is to say; theft is immoral in general, but there are exceptions.

That enforced equality of any kind including equality of opportunity is evil.

How about enforced equality of freedom and rights?
And by that I mean maximum freedom.
That's a kind of "enforced equality" that's not evil, especially because the enforcers would need to do their enforcing in a way that's not violating that principle

 

[The Last Stand]

I was raised to never strike a woman, unless it's for self defense. Since I believe in equality, if a woman initiates violence, you have the human right to fight back IN self defense. Some double standards in terms of the fairer sex that society adopts is harmful to equality if you think about it.

 

[Nicholas Gur]

I think sexual assault especially in the formative years of someone's life imbeds a psychological cancer that can never be treated and the only acceptable measure to ensure the cycle doesn't continue is to kill both the perpetrators and the victims.

Issue is that 99.99% of the time you never know what's the situation of the person you stole from (and if you did know might as well asked him directly for money). That amount of money/item you stole might very well doomed the person.

Nuclear Proliferation is good. Nuclear weapons force other states to take them seriously.

Stealing or robbing is immoral. The word you are looking for is confiscation or legally mandated compensation. But it is less of an offense if the target isn't another person.

Stacy's kids are starving. She steals food from Mary, whose kids will starve now.

Now if she stole from Madam Betty's whorehouse, it maybe less problematic. The theft part is still bad, but there is less added harm.

But this line quickly becomes Tyrone stole your bike, he needed it more, so this is a very slippery slope. Theft isn't moral, but an emergency can excuse some of it.

Kazuma-pilled. It is wrong to hit a lady or an elder, but a bitch is neither. Just as not all men are gentlemen.

No. Mentally Ill and retards cannot understand rights and therefore cannot have them either.

Was raised never to either. I think in some sense, if someone is assaulting you- regardless of the sex, it should be understandable to strike back in a very, very limited way to get someone to stop. Maybe thats what the backhand is for I guess.

This doesnt quite get to the issue though, it doesnt escape that the morality of theft is circumstance. It just adds circumstantial context.

In some sense, we do live in a dog eat dog and survival of the fittest environment, and we have to take to survive- sometimes in a zero sum game.

The context I would add is that it takes greater strength to sacrifice yourself for others, and that in most circumstances in today's society, theft cannot be excused or justified. Most, anyways.

The same way "thou shall not murder" doesn't apply to war. Theft is understandable in times of emergency. The times it does apply are when you live in a community and there are multiple alternatives to theft. And not only Tyrone's children (if he even knows them) aren't starving (they are overweight) but he won't steal from some rich socialite but from random shmuck who also isn't very rich.

I think that words have power, and if you spend a lot of time saying bad things about people, it will eventually affect your life in some negative way.

The same applies to a lesser extent about constantly thinking negative/hateful thoughts for very long periods of time.

Maybe its schizo, and maybe I'm a hypocrite since I use this site which is essentially a glorified gossip forum...but I've seen too many instances of this in my own life, and other's lives, to ignore it.

 

[rel=alternate]

I cannot stand liars, people who are two faced.

I think it's obvious when it comes to big lies, nobody likes this. But I have a deep disdain for people who lie by omission or about small or irrelevant things.

It probably has to do with the fact that I don't do it myself. I'd almost always sooner turn an entire room against me rather than lie (although most likely I'll just say nothing out of self preservation).

I always piss people off when I say if someone is clever enough to beat an elaborate system designed to stop them they have earned what they have gained.

I can see why people would disagree with this.

If someone robs me, I am not going to be giving up my possessions because he put the efforts in. Maybe in a Hollywood scenario where you are robbing a big company and the evil insurance company needs to pay this makes sense, otherwise not so much.

I think it does not take away from having admiration for people who are a little bit of geniuses at what they do. But it's a step a bit too far to say they deserve the loot.

That's why I don't like using slurs at all. It's out of character for me to say (or even type) a derogatory term based on disability, race or sexuality. Hell, I don't even like cussing in public.

I am not against the idea of slurs, words do mean things and there is a place for every word. For me it's more about a (frankly superstitious) belief that our words and thoughts affect our reality, and "what goes around, comes around" is a real principle at a "spiritual" or "metaphysical" level of the world.

That said, I respect your position, because far too many people don't think about what they say, or what it means.

Using your phone on the toilet is decadent and shameful.

 

[Mortan Shekelstorm]

Atheists getting mad at God or the universe. Same types who will be the first to tell you "The universe is indifferent" usually in relation to accepting others sins, but get irrationally angry when you disagree with their secular world view or acceptance of sin. I call them smarter than thou's. Would be one thing if they are secure in their non belief, or even just consistent with their criticisms of faith across religions. For people who love to try and find contradictions they are blind to their own.
