Robin Hood, immoral scounderel
Very true. But the fact that someone steals doesn't alter their acknowledging stealing to be wrong.
Which means, in your moral system, that a starving man stealing bread from a business man who exploits society is immoral and that likewise Robin Hood is immoral. Which is a shame, I think.

Re: Robin Hood, immoral scounderel
Recently, we identified a very well dressed man who looked like he could work on Wall Street yet who steals a hundred dollars worth of product every week. I thus agree with Iano. Stealing is stealing. Sin is sin.
So, let's look at an extreme example.
A tyrannical communist government. The politicians exist on a diet of big luxurious feasts, which they cannot finish. Everybody else is near starving. A person that works for one these politicians has a sister who is very malnourished. That person steals an orange, knowing that they have vital vitamins, intending to give it to his sister.
Are you telling me that that person is immoral?
