another ethics question

[spa ced]

Have you ever purchased anything you knew was stolen?

I need a car stereo and people keep offering me stolen ones at a really cheap price.

Now, that I probably wouldn't do. But then again many people argue that a lot of profit is "stolen money" but they buy things with it.

most of my computer but i wasn't aware of it at the time

You're only encouraging the black market to continue, and it will probably come back to bite you.

The noxious racism in this post is two-fold: with its underlying idea that black markets should die off, and with its supposition that black markets are prone to violence.

When will you people learn that black markets are just as good and smart and basically human as white markets are?

No you don't. While I realize this was simply at attempt at humor, Iraq isn't exactly exporting anything.

How would you justify the need and existence of black markets?
I mean, I'm not trying to be defensive at all. I just never knew whether to think of black markets as positive or negative so I never really took a stance on it. It's just been a gray area concept for me.
