> You keep talking about how you can't take back killing.

Yes, which is one of the things that makes killing different from property theft.

> The thing is I don't want to take it back.

That's not relevant to the discussion here, which was one in which posters were claiming that their property represents part of their life, time they cannot get back, and thus taking it is somehow equivalent to taking a life. My point was that this is a false equivalence.

You do not appear to be making such an equivalence argument, so it's hardly a surprise that my counterpoint doesn't apply to whatever your reasoning is.

It's like jumping into an argument about which shade of green is better and saying "My favourite colour is red". Uh, good for you I guess.
