Fraud is still taking without owning, however indirect it may be. Its dishonest and the easy way out. Thus the same thing
Again, I disagree. But if you'd do that then fine.

That is from the link I posted. Ultimately it doesn't matter on the exact figure, its not zero.
So at which point does the cost of sending someone to prison outweigh the fact that they deserve it?

You're looking at this the totally wrong way.
No one is saying we should kill at people who steal (although their is an argument there for it), people are saying that if these lot are stupid enough to steal something and die whilst doing it then they got what they deserved.

Jambo, GaryF, John and many others have said that yes we should kill people who steal (not meaning to pick on them, just ones I remembered) and that's the only sort of comments I've got any sort of problem with in this thread. It's totally fucked up thinking.
I've said I agree with the fact they had it coming - I'm a firm believer in being responsible for your own actions and that definetely applies here. But at one point I asked if they didn't die from being hit by a train, would they deserve to die and people said yes. Pretty shocking to be honest.

Alan !
At what point did I say you were trying to change opinions?
Also, you're being quite challenging, although 'you don't give a Fuck what I think', you keep asking for my opinion.
You went on to say that you don't think my opinion is mine, if I don't like something, I don't write in it, if I feel I have a valid opinion, I will say it, no matter who else agrees or disagrees. you need to pull your head out of the sand, and look what I just said. Sort your head out.

I don't think you can tell anyone to sort their head out when you say that people deserved to die for committing theft.

How do I steal a quote? It wouldnt be a quote unless I used it, it would just be a post.

When I say I don't care I mean that in the way that it's not affecting my life in any way.
Lock this thread, delete it, do whatever. I just hope that at least one person's understood what I'm trying to get at.
