    Don’t be stupid. Theft is a crime against property, whereas robbery is a crime against a person. Nowhere in my comment did I indicate robbery, but I’m sure you knew that. You’re purposely dismissing my comment by straw manning it. Someone taking my property with or without me being present is a crime and should be punished.

        Slavery is an absurd mischaracterization and exaggeration. If someone commits a crime, they should be punished and made to repay society for their actions. If that repayment means labor (cleaning on the side of the freeway or other such labor), then I think that is entirely fair. We all know the rules of the game, but some of us choose not to abide by them. If you don’t want to be put in jail and/or forced to do compensatory labor, then don’t commit the crime, it’s truly as simple as that.

          Lol that’s a disgusting mischaractarization of slavery and you should seriously rethink your barbaric opinion. Look more into the conditions you keep your slaves in.
