Would you loot if your gov't collapsed or was liberated? OR When is looting ethical?

I'd steal the sticks out of other people's asses as well.

It is interesting what people really do when they are not sitting behind a computer thinking about what they think they would do. I must admit that I have been very poor during periods of my life and I did steal. When you are hungry morality seems to conviently adjust to the circumstances. Even the Bible says that "no one despised a thief if he is satisfying his hunger". Too bad that we often confuse greed and avarice with real needs.

Theft implies ownership. Such will not be the case.

Is that the best argument you could muster?

I rise to the level of my oponent.

I think you are both sinking.

I rise to the level of my oponent.

I love the misspelling of "opponent." A very subtle thing that accentuates the insult...

Snooze. More empty rhetoric.

Food is one thing...

Desks and chairs are another. Looting usually implies the latter and not the former.

I would loot places I absolutely hate, like the building where the Republican party is based (if there ever is a revolution in the US I believe it would be Neo-con policies that tip people to revolt). I would also loot office buildings of the evil big bussinesses.

I'd loot a gun shop and then spend a few hours picking off all the hippies trying to loot the local Republican Party headquarters. Now, I have no love for the GOP, but I really can't pass up the chance to show some peaceniks just how misguided their beliefs are...
