I also reminded people that it was a better investment to spend gov't money than to leave them alone.

*Apparently*, I was mistaken on that latter portion.

give them an inch and they take a mile

Really, LOM says it best.

Give. Them. NOTHING!

That's what charity is for.

If people didn't think big daddy gov't was there to save them, they'd give their actions a bit of thought.

Well, nature takes its course.

Maybe some clever entrepreneur invents unemployment insurance.

Or, people start saving.

Putting all these safety measures in place has *increased* the amount of risky behavior.

<@238447399951925249> Do you think it’s acceptable for someone to steal from others when they fall on hard times?

More crashes since seatbelts.

*waits for the answer to 572's question*

Or is it no longer theft, if you’re destitute?

@Five, Seven, and Two to them yes, to others no

Don’t jump ahead of my logic, it only affirms you’re not going to listen to what I say.

You're evading the question, Vodka.

But, you'll be lenient to the starving person that steals bread over the not starving person that steals a tv or car?

Whoa, there. Settle down.

You're not in a room full of women. You don't need to have the barbs up at every comment.

... You spoke for me and you’re doing so again.

It’s not an insult if you start doing exactly what I stated you might.

*Settle down.*

We're all bros here.

I’m settled, but confused.

Except for senpai autist.

And the few non-mgtows.

and roko

What's wrong with senpai? xD

Nobody likes roko

His face is a butt.

😃

“Don’t jump ahead of my logic, it only affirms you’re not going to listen to what I say.”

What did I “paint you as” with this statement?

A self-important, arrogant asshat.

I mean, it was pretty valid when Vodka evaded the question and started answering "taxes = stealing, hur dur"

👆

<@238447399951925249> No, I don’t actually think taxes are the same as stealing and that wasn’t my path of logic.

But, hey, as civilized men, we can overlook a slight logical misstep as the natural course of dialogue and move on.

I’d agree, Xy.

Shit like "trying to curtail that nonsense" isn't bloody helping!
