      Might be, but I guess that if you should end up in a situation where you have to starve or lack water, you wouldn't hesitate for a moment to pick up your necessities where you could.
      With or without religion, you would have good people doing good things and evil people doing evil things. But for good people to do evil things, that takes religion.

        You know what? This hurricane didn't check voter registration before it hit; but go ahead and spout that kind of garbage if you want.

        By the same token, I don't see it mentioned that any camera people, police, shopowners with guns, asked to see a voter registration either.

        YOU just made the observation, all on your little lonesome, that democrats are thieving looters.
        I would never say that, nor have I ever claimed to be republican.

        Your argument, with all due respect, is rank with error.

          Yeah, and the guys with TVs and other electronics on their backs are just trying to to catch the latest news reports on the disaster.

          I can see if you're hungry taking a can of food, or thirsty a bottle of water. Are you guys watching TV? These people are stripping the stores of everything they can carry. They are, for the most part, oportunistic thieves.

            Hell under the right circumstances, I'd probably murder someone to. That doesn't really change the nature of the action though.

                Taking TVs, etc: illegal, immoral, irreprehensible
                Taking food, other items necessary for survival: illegal, but understandable.

                    Sure it does. "Stealing" nessetieces during such as the current catastrophe can't in any way be considered looting. If not, first of all, the shopowners should be available (or at least staff), next credit card readers should work - just tell me how many of these were functioning during and after the storm.

                      Depends on what jungle you want.

                        Looting is looting but sometimes not looting might be the greater evil (like if your kid is starving).

                          So Black Cat, that means one could enter your home and refortify as required.

                            Fallen to the level of inane nitpicking have we? When can I expect the legion of civgroup icons?

                                Reprehensible. Contemptable. Nay, shall I say it? Democratic.
