      Yeah but we’re not talking about things here, we’re talking about people coming up and taking from you, which is an act of violence to which one should certainly expect a response. Don’t like the response? Keep your hands to yourself, simple as that.

        Theft is not violence just like property damage isn’t violence and it’s silliness to pretend they are.

          It’s one thing to have money or other items stolen but passports, phones, that can have serious consequences. Some people also have valuable photos in their wallet. Those thieves deserve a proper beating or even one or two fingers cut off. Fuck that scum.

            I don’t disagree with what you’ve said and I don’t see it as contradictory to what I’ve said.

          It is like sticking your hand up sometimes skirt or demanding someone gives you their wallet with an implied threat, or purse snatching, or breaking in whilst someone is home.

          It is imposing on the other parties dignity such that they have to accept your transgression to their own dimishment or defend themselves and said dignity.

          1. Punching is usually non-lethal.
          2. Not all Yanks are alike.
          3. Intentionally killing over things is certainly abhorrent, but physically protecting your personal property is not necessarily a bad thing. We don’t support the government conducting unlaw search and seizures, why would we accept that from individuals? Especially when law enforcement is either (a) unlikely to be successful at returning your property, especially cash money, and (b) unwilling to even try.

          Gypsies?

          Yank?

          Cry harder, Europoor

          lol j/k, i don’t care where you’re from, and Europe is largely an awesome continent full of quite lovely people. Except for you. You’re not just an ass, but a prejudiced one. Gypsies? Really? And all Yanks are murderers? It’s only mostly murderers over here

          I do agree with you on one thing though. Killing people over stuff is wrong. Thieves only deserve a beating. You just got to make them cry. Real, bubbly tears. Make em regret the decision and think harder before doing it again. Also, bring back corporal punishment in schools. And it’s pronounced “gif”
