Current schmurrent.

I proposed that we make stealing from CSM legal. Feel free to filter block our activities, if you can. You're allowed.

"Nor do I see any between an activity between consenting adults and an activity that causes harm to a non consentor."

That's because you refuse to see or even acknowledge indirect harm.

I don't know why you would want to live this way. I mean, there's still no guarantees when we have laws against stealing from CSM. But you want to make it easy on the criminals because, by golly, criminals have rights too!

If you made stealing legal, then the theives wouldn't be criminals. That is where you fail to draw the parallels. You are trying to make criminals into law abiding citizens by relaxing a current law that causes harm to an actual victim and comparing that to creating a law to turn a law abiding citizen into a criminal.

"Indirect victim" - harm to society, not measurable as a direct effect of a certain behaviour, but used as a tool of the socialist. The individual must be sacrificed for the good of society.

BTW, it is already legal to steal from CSM. The government does it every 2 weeks and they steal about 30% of my earnings. Instead of doing it directly, society has chosen to use government force to take care of that task. I consider that an evil use of government force too.
