I'm not seeing the same logic you are. If someone is hungry (or pretending to be), why would they want to break into your home and sleep in your bed, rather than steal food?

- hartpuff 10y agoWell it's about as "logical" as saying it's okay to kill people while in the army, so it must be okay to kill people in any other situation too.
