Someone posed this question to me once and I liked it so I thought I would share it with the rest of you, so here it goes:
Imagine you were able to travel back in time to 1939 Germany and you had an opportunity to steal Hitler's wallet. This will in no way change the outcome of the war, there are no important documents inside, only a few deutsche marks. However, stealing his wallet will completely ruin his evening. Do you feel MORALLY OBLIGATED to steal his wallet? Would you do it?
