Or, rather, Rex doesn't believe codified law is the only definition of theft.
The argument is precipitated on the idea that just because the government decides something is legal/illegal, doesn't change the intent of the action.
Is choosing to live here considered your consent for Trump as our president and all his racist/homophobic/sexist remarks?

"Here, at last, is the cure for texting while driving. The millions of deaths which occur every year due to the iPhone’s ability to stream the Kim K/Ray-J video in 4G could all be avoided, every last one of them, if the government issued everyone a Seventies 911 and made sure they always left the house five minutes later than they’d wanted to. It would help if it could be made to rain as well. Full attention on the road. Guaranteed." -Jack Baruth
