examination of reality is in order. This question is to Perspective. When is it okay for government to steal? . I'll answer that one. It is never morally okay. There you go again confusing morality with legality. I have been over this with you folks many times. Got it, now? When is it okay for government to steal? It is never morally okay. I didn't qualify morally or legally. Is there a reason you want to split this particular hair? You state: There you go again confusing morality with legality. Does this mean its okay for the government to steal "legally"? Ok, If you need me to spell it out for you.... Is it moral to consume alcohol? Is it legal? Is it moral to consume marijuana? Is it legal? Is it moral to have an abortion? Is it legal? Get it now? That's a nice song and dance distraction. You didn't answer my question so I'll ask it again: Does this mean it's okay for the government to steal "legally"? If you fail to understand the difference between legality and morality, I can't help you any further. You might try asking your mother or a member of the clergy. I didn't ask you the difference between legality and morality. I asked you: Does this mean it's okay for the government to steal "legally"? The answer is either yes or no. Either you believe it is okay for the government to steal "legally" or you do not believe it is okay for the government to steal "legally". Which is it? I answered your question already and you failed to comprehend. Do you have your mother to ask? Either you believe it is okay for the government to steal "legally" or you do not believe it is okay for the government to steal "legally". Which is it? Perhaps the reason you can't answer is because you don't comprehend what I mean by "steal". American Heritage says: steal v. stole, sto·len, steal·ing, steals. --tr. 1. To take (the property of another) without right or permission. 2. To get or effect surreptitiously or artfully. When is it okay (legally or morally) for the government to steal? |
