Theft

The citations for the lede sentence specifically mention that theft is illegal, and I've addressed your arguments on the talk page. Please don't revert again without a consensus on the talk page.LedRush (talk) 00:40, 20 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to blank out or remove portions of page content, templates, or other materials from Wikipedia without adequate explanation, as you did at Theft, you may be blocked from editing. Murder and theft are most definitely legal concepts. Please stop removing content from these articles. General Ization ^Talk 00:50, 20 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Your personal theories about what might happen if these or any other crimes were made legal does not justify your removing cited content from articles here. If you continue, you will likely be blocked from editing. General Ization ^Talk 00:53, 20 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

You may be blocked from editing without further warning the next time you remove or blank page content or templates from Wikipedia, as you did at Murder. General Ization ^Talk 00:54, 20 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

You have been blocked temporarily from editing for edit warring. Once the block has expired, you are welcome to make useful contributions. If you think there are good reasons why you should be unblocked, you may request an unblock by first reading the guide to appealing blocks, then adding the following text to the bottom of your talk page: {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}.

During a dispute, you should first try to discuss controversial changes and seek consensus. If that proves unsuccessful, you are encouraged to seek dispute resolution, and in some cases it may be appropriate to request page protection.

Your use of the word ILLEGAL to descrive an immoral action implies people like Hitler could have legalized the killing of jers and it would not longer be murder

Simply because laws do not fit what you believe they should, that does not make those laws invalid. If the state legalizes the random killing of a class of people, then those killings no longer fit the wiki claim that murder must be an illegal action.. While murder is a legal concept too, that hardly means that there are not moral or other components involved. I would hate to believe people only find murder wrong simply because some people in the government made it illegal.
