John steals Simon's fish.
Therefore it's okay for Simon to rob Andrew?
- pessimizer 13y agoDepends on the relationship between John and Andrew.
- johnchristopher 13y agoIf Andrew didn't help Simon taking back his fish or prevent the stealing even though he knew about it then John has to conclude it's a free for all game with stealing allowed (or not punished, which doesn't change the outcome anyway).
- eaurouge 13y agoIt may not be okay, but Simon may have no choice but to steal. Some of the things we do (in the US and other developed nations) have far-reaching global consequences, in certain cases destroying lives and livelihoods. But we're always outraged when these affected people react in ways we find uncomfortable.
- stronglikedan 13y ago> Simon may have no choice but to steal There's always a choice. Thievery is despicable.
