ok, let me clarify here, because i am no kleptomaniac. i wouldnt steal a christmas tree... but if i am in a huge store like wallmart, or another similar faceless monster that takes away from small business (which is actually a reasonably big deal where i live) and they happen to have something i need... i will gladly relieve them of such an item... i refuse to contribute my money to a store like that unless i have to



What could you possibly need besides food?  Anything else is just recreational thieving, isn't it?




i mean, i dont just go in and steal candy... but if i WANT something to do something in say, my mycology hobby.... like say, some desiccant or some rubber gloves or etc.... then ill gank it



If you're too broke to buy it, it seems like you'd have bigger issues to deal with.  If you're just trying to avoid paying even though you have money that's just greed imo.  If you have something against the store, why don't you just support one you like instead?  If your position is that it’s ok since you consider them thieves, and you don’t like that, then why don’t you have a problem with doing the same thing and becoming something you don‘t like?  A thief.  Are you an eye for an eye type of person, or am I missing something?

Eh.. "right" and "wrong" are slippery slopes.

I used to shoplift here and there as a kid.. however, since turning 18 it's not something I've done.

the only thing i remember ever stealing was a thing of sour skittles when i was like 10 years old.

my friend and i sat under his bed eating those things like they were the essence of life when we got back home. :lol:

its exhilarating when youre a kid, but if youre a grown ass person and still steal shit youre a low life. get a fuckin job and pay for what you want.




Damn man, you must be pretty young.

I know they didn't have sour skittles back in my childhood, or even early adult-hood.

I used to steal. Now I mooch. Pris raises a good point about most thieves being liars, I've noticed this as well.

You took something I said... modified it... and somehow thought you had made a point of some kind?  :rofl2:

I weep for you and you thought processes. Please do not procreate. The world will be better for it.

Here, so you can try again seeing as your reading comprehension was obviously AWOL at the time:

Anyone who befriends a thief, is asking to be stolen from.

Thieves are contemptible pieces of shit.


So anyway, thanks for the laugh.

You didn't get the point then?  I'm fairly certain everyone else did.  Here let me try and explain for you...

The point was that people can become or not become anything at any moment in time.  Human beings are fluid - constantly changing.

Any human in the right circumstance can or can not be a thief, a friend, a enemy, a truck driver lol anything.  The point is you cannot label people and expect that label to hold true forever. 

A child might take a cookie once, does that mean its a thief for ever?

Someone who you love and trust may lose everything and decide to steal does that mean they suddenly become labeled and judged?

Things are not that as simple as your judging and labelling .  You cannot just box people into neat little stacks and label them because they can change at any point in time and circumstance of action always provides a different perspective on said judgement.



I'm sure you'll continue to just laugh and display your lack of insight and ignorance for everyone though.  The ego tends to drive us to do that as it can be difficult to accept being wrong for some.

I had a friend who stole 5 ounces of weed off me when we were teens.  I punched him twice and he ran away, his family left and I never saw him again. 

I saw him for the first time this year (almost 10 years after the theft) at rave in a city near me - just by chance.  I went up and said "Booo!" and then I hugged him and told him he was forgiven - he thanked me and apologised and we parted ways.

It was one of the more beautiful moments of my life.

I used to buy LSD from a guy, he always had it and was consistent with
supply, honest and great to deal with, if there was ever a problem you
just tell him and he'd make good. one day his brother came to me and some
friends with a sheet, saying it was the best ever so we bought and it was
bunk, it pissed us off and we couldnt find him so I talked to his brother
and we devised a plan


back in the 80's lakewood fair grounds was a movie lot, I'd been an extra
in a couple of films shot there and got to know several of the guys
handling props and SFX, anyway we staged a drug deal and I asked the
jackass and his brother to accompany me, that I needed someone to watch my
back. we got to the studio and I grabbed a brief case and a couple of guns
out of the trunk, we approached a dark building where the meeting was
supposed to take place, the other guys came out and wanted the cash, asked
why I had some 'goons' with me, he found it upsetting. anyway I produced
the briefcase full of cash, asked for the drugs and about a dozen people
popped up out of nowhere and started shooting. I went down as did the
jackasses brother and the jackass threw down the gun ran.

it was insanely funny, the jackass hid out somewhere for more than a week
because he though the dealers were going to come after him, a couple of
weeks after he surfaced he came up with the money to repay us for the
bogus acid and decided that he wasnt cut out for dealing drugs

Not the same - those things are out there in infinite quantity.  When you steal from a store you're taking income away from them.  They pay to stock their shelves.  Intellectual property is a different beast.  Not saying it's necessarily right to steal movies/software, but the way they're governed is very different.  Due to the infinite nature of software, selling it for thousands of dollars is retarded, and I say that being a software developer.

I used to steal alot, everytime a new game came out I wanted I would go steal it from the store. Never been caught, probably just luck though. The last time I stole I was staring to get really bold and I walked in a building with a huge tote and started putting computers laptops and projectors in it. Even talked with some employees on the way out. After getting home I felt like shit about what I did and ended up just giving everything away instead of selling it.

Psssh, you're still stealing from the developers. Fucking thieves, always finding a way to rationalize their actions.
