Means: only actions that *you* consider stealing are stealing? Fyron, there *are* other opinions than yours, and they are at least equally right or wrong

Well I'm not the first to think of the words "self-centered" and "stubborn" I guess

Umm... that had absolutely nothing to do with "my opinion". It was a simple statement of the fact that only an action that is stealing is stealing... I fail to see what it could possibly have to do with opinion. Of course, what is stealing could in some convuluted way have to do with opinion, but what I said had no opinion in it at all.

Of course, if people would actually look at the definition of "steal" that I posted, they would see that a lot of these actions do indeed qualify as stealing... nothing to do with any opinion, but with cold hard fact of the language. "steal" is a much broader term than some people think it is.

If the majority of people are commiting morally wrong acts. Perhaps it is not morally wrong anymore.

So if the majority of people start killing their neighbor, does killing your neighbor stop being morally wrong? If a majority start killing off their firstborn child, does that make killing off your firstborn no longer morally wrong? (not talking about abortion here, talking about wacking the little tike some time after birth)
