I don’t see exceptions to crimes, to me stealing is never okay. There’s no buts.

I dont understand..stealing is stealing. Those companies still have to hire workers, the parts cost money, theres so much that goes into getting an item regardless of where it's from.

Ive been robbed of so many of my valuables I could never even steal a little piece of candy from a store. Taking something from someone that doesnt belong to you is extremely hurtful and has repercussions whether it's financial or emotional. What makes you think you have a right to steal from a big company. I guess like i said i just dont understand the logic here and how so many people think stealing is ok!!!! Thank God I dont know some of you in real life cuz wtf lol

I have a lot of feelings on stealing from big corporations in the US. If you can do it without causing harm to the workers, I see no issue with it.
Corporations steal from the people. They steal millions from their workers. They exploit people working in sweatshops. They don’t pay their taxes and then when they get into trouble the government helps them with our tax dollars. They support legislation that makes them richer and keeps workers underpaid.
Imo, fuck them. But also be careful cuz you might get caught.

I think stealing is universally always bad. However there are instances where I can be compassionate and understanding of stealing.

Wage theft out does probably any other type of theft so I don’t care if a person steals from corporations.

Honestly, I used to have very sticky fingers and that’s how I justified it, cuz they’re rich and powerful. Now I just think that no matter what, karma will come around.

Yes it is. You will fit what you get you don't steal. It makes the cost of things go up for the honest people that buy what they need.

It doesn't hurt the company or hurts the people that pay for their stuff.

Stealing is stealing end of. What sort of example are you setting for your children if you tell them something is wrong but actually it’s okay if x y and z.

Something being legal or illegal doesn’t inherently make it right or wrong to me. Theft from a small business? Feels wrong. Walmart? Not as wrong.
