Just a question. Why shouldn't you steal?
Apparently, only about 10% of the population will come up with some sort of abstract moral reasoning to explain why we shouldn't steal. The rest will say something akin to, "Because we get in trouble," or, "Because it's against the law."
Why shouldn't you steal?
Edit: I'm an ardent supporter of property rights. I'm not implying that that theft is moral.

I prefer that others respect my authority over the things I've gained through development or transaction. Reciprocating is both pragmatically and ethically the best decision. Where it gets interesting is the really muddled situations.
