Re: Make an example of him. do we lock our doors when we leave the house ? Because some dirtbag will steal us blind.
do we lock our doors when were at home sleeping ? Because some murderer will come in and kill us.
do we lock our cars when we leave it parked ? Because some car thief will steal it or the equipment inside.
do we lock our cars while driving? Because some lunatic will car jack us.
do we have passwords for various accounts and systems ? Because the morally defunct will steal information or money from us.
do we show ID's when entering a secure area ? Because too many psychos will do harm if given the opportunity.
do we show ID's when asked by Law Enforcement ? Because it's the law.
Once again the brilliance of the pass the responsibility shows itself again. We do all those things because some people will lie, cheat, and steal us blind if we don't. But of course those who support your opinion believe that those people are not at fault for anything.
For the thousandth time. Just because somebody doesn't put a lock on something does not mean that you or anybody else has a open invitation to use it.
While not a perfect analogy it is close enough to get the point across.
If you lose your credit card and somebody picks it up and starts an unauthorized spending spree on it the fault lies with the person who did the criminal activity. There is obviously some responsibility for the safeguarding of a credit card but that is only because the world is full of people who would willingly steal all the funds out of the account as they could get away with.
The above poster says.. "point is... if you don't want anybody on your property... don't allow them... do not leave the door wide open..."
The point is what happened to the people who had enough self respect and decency to stay out of another person's property without the need for locks. |
