Quoting limited to 4 levels deepNothing

You know what else used to be a crime? Homosexuality. Yet, you won't see me trying to use that analogy for saying that someday stealing will be legal.

That's completely different from stealing, though, and don't act like it isn't. Homosexuality is completely natural. You're born gay, it's not your choice. And even if it was, no bad comes from it. Stealing, on the other hand, is a choice, and a bad one at that. You're not born a thief. And no good comes from stealing.

Now, that's my last off topic post in this thread. Let's get back on topic.

*woosh*

That's the sound of my point going over your head. Your argument against it basically can be distilled down to "it's a crime".

Ugh. See what I mean? I want to stop arguing, and you don't realize how badly I just want to ignore this, but I can't. You keep continuing the argument even after everyone else has stopped. And I can't just ignore a post like that or else it'll make me look bad, and no doubt you'll be mocking me for it. I really wish you would just stop accusing me of being a liar and acting like you know more about me than I do myself. No, your point did not go over my head. Stealing is a crime, but that's not the reason why I hate it. No good comes from stealing. It's a crime for a very good reason.

Now, can we please get back on topic, or are you just going to prolong this even more?

Yeah, that's not really something you should use as a counter-point.

It's impossible to argue with just yourself. Someone else has to argue back.

But this thread wouldn't have gone off topic if he wouldn't have started it in the first place. While it's true that I could've just ignored him, he could have just as easily not tried to cause trouble.

SHAME ON MINO FOR POSTING IN A PUBLIC THREAD, SHAME.

It's sad that people are standing up for thieves, it's bad how corrupt society is becoming.

The way I see it, if they're pirating it then they're not going to buy it anyway, so the company is hardly losing anything. If anything, they're gaining something. By pirating a game or any software, movie, etc. the person can experience it, and maybe somewhere along the road they'll feel compelled to buy it purely because they enjoyed it so much, whereas without pirating it they would have never bought it.

Sure, this isn't the case with everyone, but I would say it's a large majority. You'll always get the people who pirate everything just to save some money.

In my opinion, I agree with the person that said renting a game was worse if not the same than pirating. Instead of just giving away the game for free, they're making people pay for it for only a few nights so that they can make a profit off of it. Not only that, but the game creator doesn't make any money off of it.

If I owned a store and a hobo came in and stole food, i'd let him do it.
Unlike apparently you Tye, i'm not insensative to those less fortunate.

Becoming? It's always been corrupt sweetie.

It's sad that people are still conforming to society instead of being themselves.

Dude, thinking stealing is immoral is not "conforming to society"

Where did that thought even come from?

It is really. I'm not saying stealing is right, but not liking stealing is not some natural thought that we are born with. It is an ideal placed into our minds by society. My point is that people should create their own morals and ideals instead of what society portrays as wrong or right.
