Well seeing as I was scarred as a child by Christianity, I feel I have a right to say such things.
No, South Wales.
This is the second time I've been asked if I'm somone I'm not - I'm sure the moderators can check my IP address to clarify.
I am a Christian and I see no problems with pirated software if you don't profit from it. I would use it if I was into that sort of thing
Depends, I've found 2 mobiles in my life, took the sim out and used it for myself. Just good luck imo.
I won't steal from people, but I will steal from those who steal from me. And the corporations do.
Did you steal them?
Do they, what has been stolen form you by corporations?
I stole one and found the other but the reason why I stole the first one was because I got my previous phone stolen myself so I thought why not?
Officially I'm a Roman Catholic.
In reality I think both you and I know that I'm not a practicing Christain.
And what has being a Christain got to do with stealing mobile phones
I would also imagine he's referring to the daylight robbery that is price-fixing, as all music, game and film companies do when it comes to Europe.
As far as I'm concerned, for as long as these corporations continue to rip off entire continents by their price fixing robbery scheme, they fucking deserve anything that comes to them including piracy.
Perhaps if they ceased to rob us like that they would see a decrease in piracy and illegally-downloaded products :rolleyes:
Supposedly they have.
Atheists of agnostics like myself are perfectly capable of having our own morals, I don't need some raggy book to tell me how I should live my life.
I'd take it even further and suggest that atheists and agnostics seem to have a larger percentage of people with a good sense of morals amongst them than Christians do, but that's another matter...
because this thread is about a Christian wanting to justify his thieving
He brought the Christain issue in, not me or you. I don't it should be about religion, just fucking either use the pirated software or not. When I first read the thread I though "Who the fuck is this person"
Aladin. Well not sure about having better morals but generally we're a lot more open minded and ready to accept others opinions.
Yes, and that's what I'm interested in. Felix da Housecat (a Christian) says that stealing is OK as long as you don't profit from it.
I'm sure jesus would have had something to say about that.
If you download a crack for a demo, how it that stealing?
The original is unharmed. You still owe though, just from reciprocity.
Legally means fuck all. It's just someone's opinions written on paper. Yeah, yeah they have force and all that but if they said breathing was theft it wouldn't make it so.
I say follow your conscience on it. If you download something and think you would have been willing to pay for it normally, go buy one. If you don't they haven't lost a sale because you wouldn't have bought it anyway.
Yeah good point, your right. Although it's not doing anyone any harm by using software cracks or using music you've downloaded.
More opinions! Aren't they great. Everyone can have one. Pass the paper round, let's all make up a law.
