Would it be considered theft if you are given more change back than owed at a store and you knowingly leave the store?
I would consider it theft. When I was very poor I might have forgiven myself for the theft, or more likely I would have gone back and given them the correction.I am not someone who considers theft to be always wrong, but I am not willing to lie to myself about what it is. In an extreme example, if a theft can save a life it is probably right. No need to feel guilty about it, but it was still theft.Would you be prosecuted or blamed for walking off with the wrong change? Probably not blamed and certainly not prosecuted.One factoid (*) worth being aware of is that when someone looked into this they found that people in shops are more likely to make an error benefiting the shop than the customer. Errors benefiting the shop are pretty much never rectified, so if they make a mistake benefiting you then it is unlikely to be sufficient to cancel out those disadvantaging you.(*) I can't remember where I got this factoid from. It was either when I worked dunnhumby (retail experts) or it was from Daniel Kahneman's book “Thinking fast and slow”. As both are reliable I trust it.
Ideologies: In what ways could profit be considered theft?
Without fraudulent business undertakings, it can't be. Profit is the entrepreneur's reward for:a) successfully mixing factors of production - original factors of production like land and labour plus produced factors of production like machines and tools - to create an item which consumers value more highly than they value the original factors of production separately, or combined through a separate business into a different product; andb) having a low time preference. Take building a house for example. The carpenter (an employee) wants to be paid every week, but the developer can only sell the whole house, and he can only sell it once it is complete (in say 20 weeks time). Since the carpenter wants cash up front, he must be willing to lower his price in order to entice the developer to employ his services. And it is in the carpenters interest to do so since the successful developer who makes a profit from his first house is likely to undertake another and employ the carpenter again. From the developer's perspective, why would he go to the bother of coordinating carpenters, plumbers, bricklayers .... for a period of 20 weeks if he gets nothing out of it in the end.The Labor Theory of Value is complete quackery. Value (economics) is subjective. At any one time I value water completely differently. If I'm at a restaurant, and the menu informs me that a bottle of spring water will cost $4, I'm not willing to make the purchase - I'll ask for chilled tap water. But If I'm driving across Australia, and get thirsty after 400 miles of driving, with no tap in sight, I'm quite willing to pay $4 to buy a bottle of water from the next McDonalds drive-through I see on the highway.I know this analysis introduces prices, as opposed to sticking with value, but price is a common denominator, because it represents the other things that I could have purchased, i.e. the act of paying a price for an item is an action which proves at the time my preference for the thing I just bought over anything else I could buy with that money.Also, when I think about a computer, I value the things I could do with it - do my work to earn a living, play games to recreate or read a copy of An Introduction to Austrian Economics at http://library.mises.org/books/T... I do not at all value how many hours it took someone to build the thing.
Can it be considered theft to not return loaned PPE/safety equipment from Labor Ready?
I.E. About a month ago I was sent out on a job through Labor Ready (directly employed by them as W4 employee), and the job required steel-toed boots and a hard hat. They lent me this equipment before starting the gig - which was supposed to last a week, but I burned out half-way through (3 1/2 days) and gave it up. I have yet to return the PPE (personal protective equipment) they lent me. Again, this was about a month ago. I got a call on my cellphone yesterday from the Labor Ready manager (from my local office) telling me I still had PPE equipment out and I needed to return the items (hardhat and boots). This being the first time they've called me about this... I found it astonishing to hear the man threaten to involve the police! Honestly, I had simply forgotten about the equipment (still sitting in my pack in the back of my closet) - and I truly found it insulting and on the level of a personal attack (harassment). Had he simply reminded me of the PPE and politely asked me to return them, I would have gladly drove the 7 miles to the office and dropped them off. But now... with these threats... I feel obligated to toss them in the nearest garbage bin. My question is... does anyone know if he actually involved the police in this? Considering they lent me the equipment on good-will (honor system), didn't require a deposit for the items, and I don't seem to recall signing any kind of liability contract... the worse I can see them doing is sending me a bill for the items... I just don't want the 5-0 poppin' up at my place randomly with a search or arrest warrant for theft...?
Would it be considered stealing, as in the sin of stealing, by reading manga and/or watch anime online for free? I am religious.
If you take something that doesn't belong to you without permission, then it is stealing. No matter what legal loopholes people may look for, piracy is a crime, and stealing is stealing. If the manga and/or anime are legally available for free, then that's a service being provided intentionally for you to enjoy. If you are utilizing illegally broadcasted or otherwise provided materials, you are not paying providing proper compensation for the product.I don't know any religion's stance on copright law, but most have something against theft. There are provisions for taking food in the Bible, for instance. If you and your family are starving, you are allowed to walk into a farmer's grape field and eat your fill. If you were to then try to take any with you when you leave, then it's stealing.Food used to be provided to the poor and the homeless as a matter of course in ancient times. Bread crusts and soup were made available, without people needing to be encouraged by a charity.Anime and manga are not by any stretch of the imagination a necessity for your survival, nor are they food. They are a product. If you take them without compensation to the owners in the manner and amount outlined, you are stealing.
