[QUOTE="Theokhoth"][QUOTE="harashawn"] If anyone thinks they have been saved, they probably haven't. harashawn

One of the main tenets in mainstream Christianity today is that all humans are sinners, and every one of them is going to be punished for their sins in hell, and that the only way to avoid this fate is to accept Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior and obey the commandments. This is colloquially referred to as "being saved". So no, you're not saved. :P

Anyway, I agree with the sentiment that you should just tell her no and let the chips fall where they may; as was said, if she can't accept that and leaves you, then your relationship is doomed anyway.

Everyone, if you want to see the full video and not some anti-cop biased film cutting, look here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bVwXOKZh4Os

While it still doesn't paint a pretty picture for policemen, and is still biased, at least it puts the event in the proper context.

Why do people keep thinking that. MrGeezer was making a point that I fully agree with. The author of that article has skewed the facts so much to be biased towards the girl that it almost removes all credibility. I'm not defending theft, and I don't think it was right for him to steal her bunny, but I can't make a true judgement on this considering I only have a skewed version of events that is making a point to make the man into a complete villain. Over zealous, yes, but heartless thief, that's up for debate.

Well I can accept that point cause I agree that the theft was wrong as well. But that's not the point MrGeezer, myself, and others have been trying to make in this thread. The article itself is practically worthless so while I concede that the theft was wrong, I can't make any judgement about how "cruel" or "bad" this "heartless" thief really is.

As I said before, I won't attempt to make a judgment on the thief's rational for committing the crime. So I agree with you there. And I think krustyklown would too, from what I've seen of his recent posts. But then again, I've only read his more recent posts, so I can't say this for sure. I will say both sides seem slightly confused on what the other's point is.

So....you'd seriously send your family to death to ensure you die honorably?

Are you a samurai, or something?

InEMplease

So...you'd seriously violate another person's inherent right to his property just to save your life? Is your fear of death such that you would stoop to terrorizing other people just to stay alive? History condemns the legacy of those that do wrong to save their own skins, while history honors those that sacrifice themselves for what is right.

There is no uncertainty. Stealing is wrong. It is always wrong, no matter the circumstances. The concept of justified theft is an oxymoron. It is an inherent impossibility.

If violating his right to property costs him a $1 apple or something, and was necessary for my survival, hell yes. You would be stupid not to. Survival is survival, and there are no rules in the animal world. Also, stealing an apple woudn't be terrorizing them...

I'm not telling you to go steal stuff from the grocery store because you're hungry. I'm telling you that when one is left with no other choice than steal or die, most people will go with steal, and I'd bet my left nut even you would do so, dkrustyklown.

lmao

stealing a little girls bunny. How do they not see they are the bad guys here.

MystikFollower

Yeah, yet we have several posters here trying to spin the situation into the little girl being the bad person and the thief being the good person.

Why do they have such difficulty understanding that stealing a little girl's bunny is a bad thing?
