That is ridiculous, there is no equivalency.
Yes, you are a thief.
But, if I drink a beer that does not make me an alcoholic, if I smoke one cigar a week I am not addicted to tobacco, if I play the lottery once every two weeks so I can dream about "what if" for a week for fun with my wife I am not a gambling addict, if I bungee jump once in a while at the fair because I like the thrill I am not an adrenaline junkie, and if I steal low value items or small amounts of money every now and again
consciously I am not a kleptomaniac.
If everyone who does not think like me is "bad" I am an ass.
