LOL. Please explain


I'll try.

I say perhaps, because I don't know you from a bar of soap. I think we live on the other side of the world. I could be entirely wrong here.

I just cannot see any accomplishment in having successfully shoplifted a bunch of crap from the department store. I see a rather small payoff for a huge risk. And I suppose the pity would come in because if that's your idea of an accomplishment, I imagine your expectations of life are rather low. That might even indicate that you have a low self esteem.

But, I have no idea of this, I have no evidence to back up my explanation, and I could be entirely wrong about you. It's just an impression.

I opened my fat trap and said it (kind of,) so it's reasonable you should want me to explain myself.

last thing I ever stole was 4 bottles of MD 20/20 from a local store here.

it was during highschool and all the stupid kids were doing it so I figured I should get my cut too. stole from the same store for months and months, took them about a year to catch all of us, there were about 20 kids involved.

I have never even considered stealing again, having to work my way through the legal system as a result has scared me away from all crimes that don't include smoking pot and eating shrooms.

Well, here goes...

Stealing from Wall Mart is a good thing to do. Not only does it allow you to get free stuff that you wouldn't otherwise be able to enjoy, it helps other people too. By stealing you create incentive to prevent theft. Companies that make and install security cameras would fold if people suddenly became honest and nothing got stolen. Wall Mart would need fewer employees too.

Also, statistically speaking, a percentage of the merchandise stolen from Wall Mart is then sold to various small businesses that are then able to sell the products to consumers at a lower price than Wall Mart. If this were to stop, Wall Mart could feasibly move from a dominant position in the marketplace to a total monopoly, at which point they could hike prices to the point that everybody would essentially be slaves to Wall Mart.

That's right, stealing from Wall Mart helps fight slavery. 

Therefore, aside from the humanitarian aspect of it, stealing from Wall Mart creates jobs in at least 3 different areas as well as providing income/free shit to people who share it with me.


Congrats. You've just written one of the stupidest things I've ever seen.

Hope you get caught soon.

You cannot legislate the poor into prosperity by legislating the wealthy out of prosperity. What one person receives without working for another person must work for without receiving. The government cannot give to anybody anything that the government does not first take from somebody else. When half of the people get the idea that they do not have to work because the other half is going to take care of them and when the other half gets the idea that it does no good to work because somebody else is going to get what they work for that my dear friend is the beginning of the end of any nation.

explain yourself, sir. what's wrong with a newfound perspective? isn't that the reason we trip?


Hehehehe, once again, opened my mouth, so I'll do my best to explain myself :smile:.

I have no problem with anyone who doesn't want to seek enlightenment, because it neither breaks my leg or picks my pocket. I don't give a damn if their ignorance is holding them back from enlightenment, it doesn't harm me. They should have the freedom to do what they please.

I give a damn if such ignorant people actually physically prevent me from (my idea of) the pursuit of enlightenment.

The accomplishment is not going to jail. One could be accomplished in learning a new riff, or making it the NBA. I wasn't saying I'm the baddest mofo to ever steal from walmart. An accomplishment is an accomplishment...

I still want to understand you. Have ever talked to your mother?

Stealing is wrong no matter what it is or who it's from.  It's still theft.  For those that think stealing from BigBoxCo is ok, you're all so deluded into believing that thievery is just fine as long as you're stealing form a company that makes billions of dollars.  Well done.  You continue this mentality and wonder why the world is so fucked up.  Stealing is stealing.  Stealing is a crime.  Stealing is proof of the kind of person you are.  Your moral compass' are clearly broken.  Theft is not okay on any level. 

Shit by the logic going on in this thread, I guess it would be ok to rob a bank since they have so much money.  I mean, with all of those overdraft fees and interest they collect it's completely fine if I break into a bank and steal the money...?  Those fees are really unfair and I just want to boo hoo every time I'm not responsible with my account balance.  I'm going to seek moral revenge for myself and all of the other people at this bank by stealing from it.  Yeah...  that'll show them. 

Immoral people will always try to justify their actions.  "Oh it's ok to steal if it's from BigBoxCo and this is why..."  No.  Stealing is wrong no matter what. 

And I don't want to hear some bullshit about "Oh what if I need a loaf of bread because I'm hungry or I need to feed my children?"  THEN SELL YOUR FUCKING COMPUTER AND DISCONTINUE YOUR ISP IF YOU NEED MONEY!  If you're posting on here, you have resources to make money, but you rather sit on the shroomery all day and justify stealing from Wal-Mart instead of being productive and trying to find a job to earn some money.  I mean, you must have such a difficult life doing drugs and playing all day.  Man life sure is tough with all those drugs and games....  that's why you gotta steal, right?

What exactly are you having trouble understanding Koopa?

You are right though, I must concede, an accomplishment is an accomplishment. Doesn't change my position though.

Good luck to you though. May you continue to accomplish your whole life, and avoid ending up convicted of theft. Staying out of prison is a good thing.

Just remember, you may very well have to answer to god someday. I'm not trying to imply you should have any particular religious position or that your beliefs are in anyway invalid: it's just a thought. One that rings in the back of my mind anyway.
