    *stealing anything. (As long as they’re stealing from a business, at least.)

    You could be holding the cashier at gunpoint and emptying out the register, and I didn’t see shit.

      You lose me at the point where you’re pointing a gun at someone that is just trying to make a living. Stuff merchandise down your pants all you want I guess, don’t point a weapon at someone making minimum wage.

      Corporation, you mean.

      The word business covers honest people making an honest living running their own thing, too.

          True, but they’re probably not ripping you off and reporting billions in profit. Corporations are almost guaranteed to be. My neighborhood gas station is not on the list.

            Nah, they’re just ripping you off and reporting thousands in profit.

            They’re doing the exact same thing, just on a smaller scale. And if you got rid of the big corpos, they’d grow to fill the void left behind and start doing it on a bigger scale.

              So every working person is an asshole and the only ethical way to obtain food is to steal it?

              Doesn’t seem too ethical to me. Sounds like a justification for being an antisocial asshole.

                Nah, most of them are just working for an asshole.

                and the only ethical way to obtain food is to steal it

                Well, you could also grow it yourself.

                But, sure, stealing is one of the most ethical ways to obtain food.
