Lesson... Don't Steal

[GGT]

Er, no the leap I was referring to was that not liking big federal power means disacotiate...this becoming an illegal immigrant or a thief.

Please keep em coming!!!

Disacotiate is not a real word. 'Liberal' is a real word, but just like 'theft' and 'immigration'....their meaning has a contextual basis.


So if we have a "progressive" tax code, but the only way people can use it fully is by paying a CPA or tax attorney, is it truly "progressive"? If I haven't used all the loopholes available, am I a conservative? If I use my corporate standing or LLC status to get crazy tax breaks, am I legally stealing?

if it is not the action that matters, but the foreseeable possibility of it happening which makes them guilty in this case... why not extend it to them being charged for felony murder, regardless if he had been shot or not? Because they did not shoot him, they just forgot to think about it as a plausible consequence, which they would be guilty of regardless of the outcome. Since the actual case of what happened is obviously not relevant here, all that remains is in fact, the poor risk evaluation being a crime fitting of 50 years sentence, no?

Thugs in jail longer than they otherwise would have been?

Hmm... I'm failing to see the problem. The streets in that community are safer. People's homes are safer. Everyone except the the thugs and their families came out ahead.
