I honestly believe that in Robin Hood's day 'stealing from corrupt, robber barons' was not considered a law or crime and that 'stealing from the poor via tax laws' was an unpopular law.

Laws changing over time is the heart of the matter.

Stealing in a democracy is a different thing from the kind of stealing Robin Hood was doing.

It interests me that all your examples of stealing involve current thefts from very well monied individuals: the President, or a CEO of a corporation. The difference between stealing from them is that they operate in a democracy, and Robin Hood did not.

I'm enjoying this discussion very much. Thank you, TheRozenQueen. -As far as anyone was concerned. It has always been like that, even in the most barbaric, savage communities. Stealing is a crime, you could ask 4000 people and they will all say it's a crime. It has been a crime since even long before Jesus was born. And it has not changed, nor has it ever changed.

-Are you a dumbass? Stealing is Stealing and Stealing is a Crime, no matter who you stole from. Steal from a beggar, steal from a noble, steal from a baker, it's a crime everytime.

-Except it isn't, at all. It's completely irrelevant, especially because stealing has never stopped being a crime.

-No it isn't. It's a crime, regardless of whether it was done in a democratic nation or not. Hell, why are you even mentioning "democracy"? It has nothing to do with the subject.

-Yes, because all nations with presidents are democratic, and all corporations work democratically. Definitely. Sarcasm aside, still completely irrelevant.

-Well, I'm not enjoying it. You're a fucking idiot, fully disconected from the world, bringing up irrelevant subjects, trying to act like a crime is not a crime and giving the most stupid reasons for it.
