What have you learned today? P2

Are you implying he stole something? That's racist.

No.

But see, you're stealing the product from someone who already bought it legally. It don't matter what your cause is. It's still hypocritical. Do you really not see the hypocrisy? This makes you even worse than the corporation you're stealing from.

Regardless of how 'hypocritical' I'm being to get what I need to do done, I think it's a pathetic cop out to consider an individual worse then a corporation.

I learned that Big John's chips aren't half as bad as they sound. A slight taste of raw fish at the end, but that's just the extra seaside touch...

I had a similar opinion of catfish, until I tried it. Deep fried, in beer batter, it's quite good, if with a hint of... fishiness at the end.

Dunno ask Gandhi

[Wilgrove]

I think Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., The Hippies, Gandhi, and that monk who set himself on fire, would disagree with the bolded.

Then you'd be wrong because you haven't got a clue about Dr. King.

How old are you anyways?

Why are you air quoting the word? It is hypocritical and hypocrisy is the highest fallacy anyone can make.

"I'm a pacifist, but I'm gonna own a shotgun and rob me a bank."
"I'm a vegetarian and I'm gonna eat meat."

Etc.

I don't consider the capitalist market legitimate.

When you steal from a place like a store, there isn't an individual you're stealing from but rather a collective pool of money siphoned off the backs of consumers and workers that is usually reserved for the big guys up top.

You could prance aroudn and whine all day about the hypocrisy of these calculated actions, it won't get anything done.

IIRC F7 posts don't count towards the total on the side thingy. He does have 5,000 posts. I have 5593 including F7. This however means that I even I have more of a social life then Chris. Seriously its taken me a year to get this high. You did it in what, 5 months?

Ah, sure.

And what do you suppose being a mindless used worker in a capitalist society will teach me in life? Other than it's all about being stepped on?

Of course, you expect me to stop caring for my fellow man and self in such a 'childish' sense by the time I'm 30.

What life experience would reverse my choice that capitalism should be militantly fought against? Is there some golden egg in this backward society that I don't know about?

I'm pointing out that you're doing the same damn thing, albeit at a lesser scale, but instead it is for your own enjoyment. Those investors lost money, because someone had stolen it from them. It is no better than pickpocketing another individual. The problem you're fighting will still exist and nothing is changed.

Trying to legitimize stealing will never work.

Grow your own veggies. Herd your own sheep to make your own clothes.

Actually, I have a good social life. I just get on here when I get home from whatever I do, whether I go to the movies or just hanging out, I'm always with friends.

Or just buy from the manufacturer. God, this is the 21st century.

Why not fight for things that actually help people? Like Universal Healthcare (or Public Option), or how about a better mass transit system in your city or country? Why not fight to inform people through education and the Internet? Fight for a stronger safety net so that poor people don't fall through the cracks? You know, things that'll actually help, because to be honest, this whole Robin Hood thing doesn't do anyone any good, and all it does is set up your eventual capture and incarceration.
