[QUOTE]Originally posted by First of Two: [QB] [QUOTE]if you've got no intention to commit an illegal act (i.e., playing a morality game), then what are you doing illegal? Oh, nothing. Right. [/QUOTE] [QUOTE]I believe that if you're in the planning stage of something illegal [b](even if you're considering whether its possible to commit and/or get away with a crime)[/b], you're comitting an illegal act. [/QUOTE]These two statements are in conflict. Which are you going to choose to go with today? Is is possible, in fact easy, to consider whether its possible to commit a crime without having any intention of committing it. It is also possible to have intent, but never get beyond the considering phase before changing one's mind, without committing a single illegal act. Hm. Do the Snayvian Thought Police believe that you commit a crime if you consider committing a crime that is impossible? For instance, I believe that if the people who abused Julie (to use a personal example you're so fond of) were alive today, I would consider (and more) their deaths at my hand. Or how about this: I once, in concert with others and in some detail, considered an assault on a person we knew to be abusing his girlfriend. Circumstances (his arrest, her departure) caused the abortion of the plan while it was still in the consideration stage. Are we criminals? [/QB][/QUOTE]
