    I’m going to buy the last Ribeye steak so I can take a Huge steaming Dump on it and sell it back to the starving man who I bought it out from under.

    Who was in the wrong here?

    The man who was selling it could have done the benevolent thing and sold it to the starving man but in the end he is running a business and I offered more money.

    I could have done nothing and the man would have got a fresh clean steak with no poo on it but did I do anything wrong? Technically I did buy the steak and was free to do as I please and the starving man technically didn’t have to buy It but he was starving so he did, how is that my fault?

    The starving man could have paid more for the steak but he didn’t have any money but how is that any one’s fault? No blame can be placed on anyone except maybe himself depending on his circumstances.

    Now in the above scenario the man who purposely chose to torment a starving man was clearly in the wrong because it was out of complete malice and spite and punching down but all he did was buy a steak and take a shit on it not illegal under any justice system.

    Now I ask you who is in the wrong? The answer is us for attaching to much value to a movie that did not change the original yet we go to the trough and eat it like a starving man.

    What does that have to do with my analogy? Not much but I think we can all agree that despite Disney and Lucas doing nothing technically “WRONG” we would not feel right about the above analogous scenario.
