Downloading mp3s is the same as stealing someones life savings?

This is getting boring.

And yet you contest none of it.

Taking a watch is ethics going out of the window? It's not like he rid the corpse and put it on youtube!

Technically it is the same, taking something that is not yours.

What aside from taking a watch is unethical about what happened? Taking a worthless watch? (and to me that is only marginally unethical, it wasn't a gold brick marked "for the children" was it?)

How do you know that the man he killed did not have a wife, children or friends? Perhaps his wife gave him that watch on their anniversary? Maybe he had it on as a reminder of his loved ones. Maybe it was just a piece of shit watch. Who the frig knows, and really, who cares? The point is:

Those situations are the ones that define us as people and determine our character. So to use that as a copout for doing unethical things says to me that the person doing it is not very honorable/has weak character.

He took a worthless watch from a body that would be soon getting put in the ground from a guy who tried to kill him.

You stupid ignorant people with you're stupid ignorant sugar coated formulaic arguments how about using your own mind?

Look a THIS situation not one you read about or saw on TV. Look at it from HIS point of view. I do the same for the iraqis, to be honest if it was my country I might be an insurgent.

I'm not some war loving idiot. But to jump on someone for this is frankly shameful. And some of you might want to look at your own ethics, and consider how you developed your own rigid paradigms.

dear guy,

you make good arguments, but you're letting anger take control.

You have got to be kidding me.........he tried to kill him.

As for the pious comments about stealing and mp3s being the same "let he who has not shamed cast the first stone!". What a total joke!

You people are living in la-la land. Enjoy it!
