How about stealing a parking space and depriving funds for good causes like libraries?
Your refusal to address that point says a lot about your moral compass.
Me not giving money to you is not me stealing from you. I would actually have to take something from you.
The space was already paid for. The state might make that illegal, but the state calling something "stealing" does not make it actually stealing. Get real.
It wasn't. It wasn't even the same space.
He was trying to encourage me to steal from taxpayers.
Which part of ''minimum charge'' are you struggling to understand?
You paid for time in the parking garage. Was that time used up? No. The man asked if you'd transfer the time to him so he wouldn't have to pay and the time you paid for would not go to waste. The state made that illegal because they enjoy double charging for parking time (which arguably is actually stealing). You made the call to not violate the law.
What he asked you to do was illegal, but it wasn't stealing. Just because something is illegal does not make it immoral. Sometimes it's immoral to
not violate an unjust law. In this case, it's meh. Whatever. Pat yourself on the back for not breaking the law, but don't pretend like the guy was asking you to do something morally wrong.
