PM me your address and I'll make sure I give yours a miss. My dad warned me how good Old Crusty was with a gun

If he PMs me his address then I will make sure I also bring a gun to rob him and shoot first.
After all, if he is armed then there is no point in taking chances, right?
As for "My property, my stuff"; to (bluntly) paraphrase Plato's Socrates:
The virtuous man can not be harmed by the loss of his "property and stuff" because
the only thing that matters to him is his virtue and that can not be taken or harmed.
It is my view that Stealth Hunter is more concerned about his "property and stuff" than he is about doing the right and virtous thing. |
Virtue, Virtue? Virtue is what gets people killed. No one will ever consider one virtuous if they died when they didn't have to, stupid perhaps. Be it over property or ones own life. If property is of enough value to steal it certainly of enough value to defend.
Like any use of force, overwhelming force wins regardless of virtue.
