I was wondering if you guys think that stealing can be morally right in some cases?

Before anyone can tackle this question you have to decide whether or not you believe in moral absolutes or that they are individual. If there are moral absolutes it is possible stealing to be morally wrong. If it is individual possibility is still there but it a little more trick because another person can't tell someone what they are doing is wrong. That would be inpossing your morals on others and it wouldn't be individual anymore.
Experience is something you don't get until just after you need it

I understand where your coming from c4iscool,I believe if you do live in poverty,3rd world country and you have a family(or by yourself) with no money or food,its only natural you have to do something to survive be it fighting or stealing.one way or another you have to provide to keep living its only natural but,if you do have money then its morally wrong.

if you are in a third world country and stealing you are probably stealing from someone else who is also poor,unless you're stealing from the government. we can justify morality all we want,but stealing is stealing. most of us would steal if we had to for survival, the problem lies in those who feel no remorse. the people who steal not to starve to death probably feel horrible to have to do it. the people who steal because they want something feel nothing at all.

I don't think stealing is ever right, regardless of what kind of situation. I'm not saying I would do it, heck If I was starving and had had no food for days, I would steal a nice cadbury's caramel :D
Or maybe a nice loaf of bread. But If I was in a 3rd world country, I wouldn't hesitate to steal to survive.

steal from big companies or the RIAA or MPAA is alright because they are cash cow.
but stealing from indivdual who's trying to make a living is dead wrong.
stop hoping, start loving.

no, someone was talking about how stealing was never right. and I started to think about. I mean if your hurting a big company does it matter or if you hurt just some guy does that play a part in if stealing is right or wrong????

I don't think stealing is right unless you're stealing from someone who is causing you trouble or is stealing from u. If you're in a 3rd world country morals don't even apply because it is a general human thing that we will do anything to surive.

Stealing is never right because you never know what that other person had to go through to get what you have stole from them! Like this girl for instance, she had to go through a lot to keep her virginity. Then here I come...no regard for her trials and tribulations! I just took it!!!
Just playing...(no offense)! But really, i believe that stealing from major corporations is ok. (i.e.)lets say a movie comes out and it makes 100 million in its first weekend...then I feel it is ok to go to your local bootlegger and get the bootleg.

Stealing is morally wrong but we tend to block it out when we feel we won't get caught or it doesn't fit the typical theft characteristics.
For example you (in general) may thin kthat stealing from a department store is wrong
But when you leave that same mall, you go home and check to see if that torrent (movie not yet released) you wer edownloading has finished.

Were all guilty of it in some shape, way, or form. Babies come out of the mommy's tummy learning. My little boy will be 2 next month and he's sneaky. Those of you with kids know what I'm talking about... We tell him NO, so he waits till were not looking and he tries to sneak and do what we told him not to. Then he laughs when we catch him.
"Internet Theft" for example is kinda the same. I know a guy that was caught up in the "make an example of me" mp3 scandals across the world. He was in Missouri, sharing files, got caught, paid a fine. Now, he's totally against file sharing amongst other things and rightfully so, I mean he got caught. how long will his fear last, who knows??
POINT ISBefore he was caught, it wasn't an issue.
