    Crime (law) is a human invention.

      You are correct. And it’s a far better option than me beating you to death for taking something that isn’t yours. So… yay for law.

      Maybe so but theft has been a crime for 10,000 years. And it has been punished by beating up the thief for all of human history. If you take shit that isn’t yours, you get what’s coming to you.

        Ok, and the more you steal, the more you got coming to you right? Well who’s stolen more? The poor person trying to survive or the billionaire looting pension plans and shorting companies into the ground?
