Behind every fortune is a crime, as they say.
@Tail Depends on where the crime ocurred, some may call it a win.
@Tail For instance, if someone stole art from Nazis, or stole from Russian mobsters, or stole from Middle Eastern terrorists and took away their ability to buy weapons and terrorize people, is that a crime?
@Tail I guess maybe depends what you do with it... If you use it to buy more weapins and not support children, education, etc maybe
@Tail It's a fine line between right and wrong and often the law is not necessarily the straight line.
@Tail And religion is not much better.
@Klaatu_Veratta_Nectarine The lines are drawn to the whims of those who draw them, much to the detriment of everyone else. Also the line can be moved by them whenever they see fit to. It's their line, we just have to abide by it.
@mcfate @Klaatu_Veratta_Nectarine Nah, I'm not saying lines are bad, they're absolutely necessary. It's how the lines are reinforced I take issue with is all. Speaking in generalities, yeah, but that's the jist of what I'm getting at.
@Tail @Klaatu_Veratta_Nectarine
"Generalities" is a nice name for "hand-waving and broad-brushing".
Lines are imaginary. People are real.
@Tail @Klaatu_Veratta_Nectarine
Lines are like pockets.
If you give someone pockets, next thing they want is something to put into them.
If you give someone a line, the next thing they want is to know who's on the other side of it from them.

@Tail @Klaatu_Veratta_Nectarine
So many HUGE statements about things that are completely ill-defined.
Name a "line". Name a "religion". This is becoming nothing but unmoored polemic.
"LINES ARE BAD."
