(26,314 posts)and giving nothing in exchange. Is the thief's life worth being made homeless? I'm going to say probably not to me, I've been there and am willing to literally fight not to have another run at it.
Is the thief's life my ability to get to work and provide for my own living? Again, probably not to me.
I guess the answer depends on circumstances and I don't apologize for saying so. Excess and insured stuff? No. The difference between the prospects of my ability to live and thrive? No and I'm not a bit sorry that I'm not going to allow food to be taken out of my mouth or to lose my shelter or what I need to make a living because some fucker just wants it and thinks they have the might or craftiness to take it for their own benefit. No one has any right to put another at risk of livelihood and home, they are surely taking their chances when their actions push another to an extreme.
This is a capitalist society, to allow someone to willfully make you destitute when you have the capability to prevent it is suicidal so one cannot be a sociopath for doing what is in their power to prevent such a pass.
