Perfect Example

Thanks, that's a perfect example of what I'm talking about. Comparing stealing medicine to save a life with stealing a textbook to save a few bucks. Using convoluted logic will never justify doing what you know is wrong.

Here's a homework assignment for you. Every time you feel yourself tempted to invent a justification; every time you catch yourself concocting analogies to justify something, stop and think about what you're doing. And especially, be hesitant to post those sorts of arguments publicly, because they look like just what they are.
