# Oh ok.
So it is more of a crime to steal £100 from someone who only has £300 in their bank account than it is to steal £1 million from someone who has tens of millions in their bank account? Fucking bullshit.

# No, but
it is more of a crime to steal $100 from someone who only has $300 in their bank account than to steal $800,000 from someone who has $14,000,000,000,000 in their bank account.

# yes
100 of £300 = 33.33%
800,000 of $14,000,000,000,000 = 0.0000057142857142857145%

# So it is simply based on a percentage?
I am sorry, but you must have kept your moral compass far too near your collection of delusion magnets.

# I think you must have kept your moral compass,
far too near to your bad-common-sense-magnets! Ha! two can play at this analogy.

# Funny kind of system.
So how does stealing $1 from somebody with $3 shape up against stealing $1 from somebody with $17,500,000?
