It's so easy to deal in absolutes. There are enough of people who are shoplifting not because they need to eat. As someone who was on the government support, you really should do nothing to be in need to shoplift to sustain yourself.
- pasabagi 3y agoEasy for whom? If you were a politician and said what I said, you would be called a communist. You'd be demonized in the media. You'd never get a ministerial position for the rest of your life. Yet, it's still obviously true. What is easy is to pretend that a simple issue is a complex and ambiguous one, and so, we don't need to ruffle feathers.
