I wouldn't blame him, that's for sure.
Human life tops Economics for me. If he steals from the pharmaceutical industry, I'd even applaud him. If he would steal another cancer patient's pills, that's something else. |

It is never OK to steal from a person because you cannot know what dilemma you will cause for them.
On the other hand, there are many people and institutions who/which do steal or cheat. So if you take from them, they cannot complain really. |

I suppose some of you have already heard of the Heinz-dilemma? What do you think is right?
For those who don't know what it is. A guy named Heinz has a sick wife. She has cancer. There is one medicin that can help here but it's incredibly expensive. Heinz scrambles all his money, loans from everybody he knows but still only has half what the medicin costs. Would it be righteous to steal it?
I think this is another typical dilemma that doesn't really work in real life. There are too many holes in it for it to work. For example, I seriously contest the premise 'it is impossible for that person to raise enough money through legal ways', as well as the implied premise 'should the person decide to steal, he will raise enough money'.
Both premises don't work because the key factor to raising money is time. He will always be able to raise enough money legally, should he have infinite time. On the other hand, his wife doesn't live forever. Then again, we can't simply assume that stealing is quicker than raising in a normal way. Also, you can't steal an infinite amount of money, because there is a point when you are more likely to not raise enough through stealing because you get caught and go to jail.
I know this doesn't answer the question: the question was about righteousness, however the answer is irrelevant because i think the question is impossible in the first place |

The latter is explained by these threads:

https://www.pcmdaily.com/forum/viewthr...ost_335885
Don't know about 'cruetruefag', but I'm guessing it's a member who was once banned from the ManGame. He did create quite a lot of users afterwards, insulting various members. Will delete it now. |

FOOD!
Just wondering, what is the quintessential food you grew up with that is related to your country?
For me it's boiled cod with boiled potatos and boiled carrots 
There's a fine line between "psychotherapist" and "psycho the rapist"

I really love this Dutch meal which I can't translate to English, as there is no English word for it.
https://translate....groente%29
Maybe this should do, even though I don't think its good
Edit: Betancur'd by Luigi (yes, worse than Zabel)

2 traditional meals that i grow up with are:
Sarme
Actually it's meat (mixed and chopped) curved into carrbage. You just want to try it! 
Pasulj
Beans in thick soup with some meat. Great for winter! |

Get ready to see some delicious Hungarian food:
Spoiler For soups: Babgulyás (= goulash with beans, but you can't really translate it, it's a great combination of bean and beef)
For main courses: Pörkölt (=stew) with nokedli (those are the small noodles), this can be made out of chicken, pork or beef (but beef works best, honestly)
And for sweets I will go with the one, that has the most ridicolous name if translated: Madártej (which actually means Birdmilk ). It's obviously not the milk of a bird, but instead milk with vanilla and egg-white, and it's really delicious .
