[QUOTE="thisoldman"][QUOTE="Kazona"]Actually, my previous reply was meant to be ratther sarcastic, but I'll get serious this time around...
If a homeless person, who through no fault of his own, became homeless, and he has no choice but to steal food, or money to buy food, to get by, how would you justify executing that person?
Person gets laid off because the company is down sizing, tries desperately to find a new job, but can't. Can't get any help from anyone, so ends up gettign kicked out of his house and is forced to live on the street, without a dime in his name. And because of your idiot law, he'll get executed for stealing some food to stay alive. So not wanting to die that way, he keeps trying to find help. But alas, he keeps ending up empty handed, until one day, he's found lying dead in the gutter from starvation, and possible dehydration. Who's to blame for that man's death? You, for creating such a ridiculous law? Or perhaps the goverment, for failing to give that man the support he needed? Or maybe, maybe even his family for not offering him help when he needed it. If you ask me, all three are to blame. All three of you would be to blame for that man's death, so I guess we can just put a bullet through your head then as well, huh?

Capitalism is the most efficient and natural societal system of governing and practice in which poverty is an inevitable by-product. Nobody is to blame, dead homless people are written off as the cost of managing society.
So basically the weight of your wallet outweighs that of a human life? You, my friend, are a sad excuse for a human being.
Edit: ANd just so you know, capatalism is the very reason that person wound up dead. I seriously doubt you have any proof to backup your claims that capatalism is the most efficent societal system, let alone the most natural one. And considering that homeless people wind up dead because of that very system, I seriously doubt it's the most efficient.
the human sociological condition naturally gravitates towards capitalism. applying any definition of capitalism to human interpersonal behavior shows u this. ya capitalism is the reason for his death.
dude, use your brain for a second. to SOCIETY what is 1 human life worth? 1 human life is worth the total amount of $ that individual will inject into the society in which they live whether it be through labor, taxes, love, kissing babies which is all +$, positive gain, and murder, pinching babies, robbery, depriving others of stuffs, etc. which is all -$, negative "gain" aka loss.
capitalism is the economic and social system in which individuals seek to maximize profits or "positives" for themselves and minimize pain/loss or "negatives."
and
people want to be as happy as possible, and as least unhappy as possible.
see the relation?
