It Is Not For The Taking!
I am not aware of any code of law stating that it is ok to steal. When you steal you deprive somebody of something that rightfully belongs to him.
Being in need is not an excuse to steal what somebody else had worked for. The fact that he has plenty of what you need, neither gives you the right to steal it, nor a reason be upset if he won’t share it with you. It belongs to him to do with as he sees fit.
And stealing from a large company does not make it any more acceptable for you are stealing from the employees and shareholders who are all individuals in the end. By stealing from a company you are delaying or diminishing the next pay increase of every employer of that company.
This is nothing new. A scoundrel and thief like Robin Hood had been immortalized in our literature and is being upheld as a hero to almost every child; supposedly for robbing the rich and giving to the poor. This is where the rot starts. Stealing is made to look noble to our children.
While Robin Hood may have given a bit of his loot to the poor on occasion, he mostly robbed for his own gain. The only reason why he robbed the rich and not the poor is because the poor had nothing worth stealing.
If we should continue to condone stealing as justified in certain cases, it will become the norm and chaos will follow. We won’t accept it when a woman gets raped because the rapist needed sex, so why are we prepared to justify theft because the thief needed the item.
Whether you steal a bread or a million dollars to buy bread for a life time, stealing remains stealing, no matter which way we look at it.
Enjoy the rest of your day.

Not funny at all. I will return it sometime. Believe me.
Don't know what your local time is but have a good time.
Ok, six hours the difference. Almost 6pm here.
I have very poor connectivity this time of the day.
It will only improve from between 10pm and midnight. I will look at your clip then.

Some people believe stealing is only wrong if you are caught. Regrettably not everybody share the same values.
I merely taught you how. I never implied that is was right.
But ok, you may steal a heart if you promise to look after it and you may steal a glance if you will undertake to return it no later than Thursday.

I could never betray my fellow man like that. We are already so vulnerable to the charms of a woman that any other advantage given to you will place us at the complete mercy of women who seldom have mercy on us.
Stealing can only be nullified be returning the loot. You are going to have problems with all those glances you stole if somebody is going to press charges.
I just stole a glance at the blogs. I hope not to be suspended for that.
Anyway, I'm off to cuddle with me pillow, it's 2:55AM..... night all...

A man's heart does not sit at the usual place and it is very easy to steal. It is just a matter of being dressed for the occasion.
you steal someone living by not giving them privacy, and bieng so jealous, and investigative, that they cant move, or sell their creative things. the way their personality is programmed to attract sales.
think its called character assasination.
No, we all do not steal.
Imo you cannot steal somebody's job. If you had done your job properly it would not have been given to somebody else. I was not stolen from you, rather see it as squandered.
My privacy is not compromised and I do not invade the privacy of others. Your privacy can only be disturbed if you leave it open in the public.
I'm sure that's a great comfort to all those in refugee camps, or all those who have been burgled, assaulted, tortured, or found themselves living on the streets. Etcetera.
Never mind.
Yes it is perfectly ok to steal a heart, providing that you look after it.
the world is falling apart, cause the wrong people have the jobs.
the inneficient ones.
now, the efficient ones, are made to look inneficient by the inefficient ones.
you know that, Im sure.
I mean, when there is an efficient person, he is discredited, and disturbed all the time, behind the bosses back, so he cant do his work.
now, you know that. stop fooling the people
Ok then, it is worldwide. Then whole world is falling apart because all good jobs are taken by palookas. I just wonder why the competent people are such palookas to allow palookas to do them out of a job. And I find it even stranger that an employer will kick out his best worker to make place for a palooka. Oh, maybe the employer is also a palooka?
PS
For the uninformed, a palooka is South African slang for an incompetent person.
I knew you would be back. Must be an obsession.
Yes, you have it right again. Good show! You're doing fine.
Hmm, it does, but it keeps our feet on the ground.
If we are to stop buying things because of wrongs in this world we will have nothing to eat and no clothes to wear. You are not employing child labor and you have no idea who harvested the beans in that chocolate bar or who made the garment. It would be much better to put pressure on the governments of the countries allowing such practices.
I sign petitions regularly, I do my best. Sorry, I didnot mean to highjack your blog, I apologise for that, I respect your blogs and you, and didnot mean to do that.
