IS This The correct term to use?

"what did you expect your the theif !"

messages like this make me wonder is it correct to call someone a thief cos they take your naq from you. a bit too insulting i believe. [-X

Re: IS This The correct term to use?

Well , in principle it is correct.
You STEAL their naq, so you are a thief.
But I prefer calling it "renting without repaying" :P

Blatantly someone without an education in the first place as his spelling and grammar went wayward. I wouldn't call taking naquadah thievery, more so, foraging.

Perhaps,, but I am willing to bet my bottom dollar that this individual is from a country where English is the first spoken language.

Re: IS This The correct term to use?

Naq taken on an attack is 'plundered' spoils from winning the fight, not theft IMO

Similarly, I believe that people in general are inherently flawed. Deep down, we are programmed to hurt one another; either physically or emotionally. People are naturally selfish and greedy; governed more by bestial urges than common sense or ethics. Society is a terrible thing, too. The more supposedly civilized we become, the more immorality and decadence become the main staple of our daily diet.

Before Lost concluded, my main flippant excuse for not killing myself was that I wanted to know how it ended. I will get back to you with a new one when I find it.
