What are your thoughts on morality?
Is it immoral to steal?

Years ago, I used to steal books from my public library, but I'd usually return them once I was done reading them. I just didn't want to pay the $5 fee for a card and I lived so far away from town, it would be months until I would pass by there again. I always had to pay outrageous fines for overdue books.

I mean, nearly no one in my town even reads. Is it still "theft" if practically no one's affected by it?

You should have stolen some Nietszche while you were there. Man must design his own morality. Do what you want and don't worry about it.

you can justify your actions however you want, and just so you know, all you're gonna get in this thread is an argument over whether or not morality is A. relativistic B. objective or C. a meme

It's not stealing when it's your property, mypropertyanon. Which would make your property my property!

It is definitely more morally grey than murder, or even most assaults.

I have been wrestling with a moral conundrum:
Is it wrong to watch someone die? What about a death you can't prevent, like a video of one? Is it okay to watch once but not repeatedly? Is it less wrong the fewer viewings, or is it an absolute value of wrong? Where is the line drawn?
It is one of those things I assume is wrong, but when I open my mouth to explain there are no words to accompany.

What's watching a video worth morally? Nothing.
