First of all, I'd like to apologise to the OP and others here who have posted on the original topic, which although in a way serious I think should have been taken a little "tongue in cheek" and not have been lowered to the point it has seemingly by offense being taken to things I've said by people who cannot just ask me to elbow ate or ask specific questions about why I have any opinions I may have stated..
Surely that is the wrong way around? Anyone that can afford a Rolls can obviously afford the minor increase in insurance premiums as a result of having it stolen off the driveway, whereas the manufacturer may become unprofitable if one too many of the product gets nicked and subsequently they call in the administrators, resulting in factory closure and immediate unemployment of the workforce, plus a slow and gradual knock-on collapse of related support industries, also leading to further closures and unemployment.
You have obviously never had your own, privately owned business. I have, and I can assure you that you are talking utter ballcocks! Theft is theft and it can hurt emotionally, financially and psychologically regardless.
If I took a pick'n'mix from Woolworths without paying I would be under no illusion that I was doing anything other than stealing!
If anybody has different opinions to me then that's fine, maybe I think your opinions are bolloX. I don't see what your points are here? I don't own a business, so should I not have an opinion, or not voice it, or ?? I also don't own my home, so does the same count for that?
I believe that anodes home should be a safe place where they are able to shut their door and be able to ignore the outside world if they so wish, I believe anybody that is willing to force way into another's home with bad intents wet her stealing or to hurt someone or other reasons is not a very nice person, and I'm sure there's instances where no bad intent that this could still happen, and I still think that's bad, and says a lot about the people willing to do it. The saying an Englishman's home is his castle etc.. I don't believe that anybody willing to steal from a home would see anyone there with more respect than a commercial or industrial setting.. I believe that breaking into someone's safe place where they live eat sleep with their family/children shows extra disrespect and ignorance to anyone involved, I could come up with numerous scenarios where I believe that the same crime could and probably would cause more hurt and non physical/non monetry ill effects.
I think to ignore any of these effects or to say they don't matter or are irrelevant is ignorant, and would seem to me that anyone saying so would mean they're saying that any crimes that don't include any loss of property/money or physical damage are irrelevant and not real crimes, many of such crimes cause people to get so low they commit suicide..
I think if people have a problem with what I say, then it's probably just the way in which I have written my comment and I will always answer any questions - but those questions would need to be asked rather than coming up with silly scenarios or calling me names or such.
Here are some questions which could help me see what anyone is trying to say when they disagree with me saying how I see circumstances behind a theft/crime and where those crimes are committed can change my opinion on how bad said person is/ how much I would look down at said person.
-do you believe all crimes are equally as bad as each other?
-do u you believe that all instances of any type of crime are equally as bad as each other?
-do you believe it's possible some people commit crimes out of desperation?
- if yes, can this affect how bad you see the person as being?
-can someone's actions, not causing monetary or physical implications still be criminal (better watch this answer)
- can someone actions if not causing damage or breaking a law still be bad where you would deem them as bad people?
Answer these and ill answer any back as to what I have said, I stand by it, I don't believe all stealing or criminal es of any nature are equal, I think private residence is a worse place to commit a crime than an commercial/industrial/workplace given the crime was to the same intensity..
If I haven't put this correct or missed something/ been unclear then ask or debate - no reason why anybodies opinion is any less important or need to say silly things..
