How do you know you're a person open to reason?

[wufwugy]

Yes, I believe the unlawful taking of another person's property is immoral.

Do you believe it is immoral because it is unlawful?

Do you believe it is immoral because it is unlawful?

No, I believe it's immoral because I respect private ownership. I understand that an item belongs to someone, and I understand that to take that item off them is to act immorally. It has nothing to do with law, and everything to do with my character. I am civilised.

I don't think smoking weed is immoral.

[wufwugy]

No

Does this mean you believe theft exists without codification by law?

Does this mean you believe theft exists without codification by law?

Of course not. Theft is a legal creation, it can't exist without law.

Taking stuff off other people exists outside of law, but the morality of it, and the ownership status, are both subjective outside of law.
