"All I do is point it at people."
On Scott Adams' blog, he posts a hypothetical question about theft. Naturally, the commenters flip the frak out, eliciting such gems as this tl;dr, calling everyone else hypocrites, all billionaires are thieves, some nested analogies, and stealing is always wrong.

This is the deleted post people keep commenting about.

What if you and the dead billionaire were stranded on the ocean in a lifeboat with a cat and the jewel: would you use the jewel to focus the sun's rays over the billionaire's body so that you could eat his carcass semi cooked, or would you feed yourself to the ravenous cat by cutting your wrists with the jewel and letting the cat lick your wounds, risking death yourself for the welfare of another?

And either way, do the communists win?

	I think you use the jewel to send light signals to passing cormorants, which you lure in with the corpse of the cat. Then, you tie the cormorants to the boat, and fly off into the sunset. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)
