That's not what steal means.
- pyre 14y agoIn a world where everything ill-gotten is 'stolen' we end up with this: steal money from confused consumers If a con-artist convinces you to give him/her your money in return for something that is a lie, it's called fraud. If a con-artist gets close to you to learn the combination to your bank vault, and then absconds with your cash, it's called stealing. Sometimes it seems like we're watching the language as it spirals towards Newspeak.
