Stealing is an art and props to the people that can do it and go away with it all the time. Besides stealing from a big corporation is not bad, only politically incorrect.

I just bought a pack of 4 Venus Divine blades for $13 at Wal-Mart and when I got home and opened it, there were only 3 inside.  :crankey:

I paid my money for quality blades... I wanted ALL OF THEM.

A buddy of mine got a mis-demenor and assault charge against him for "assaulting" a mall security gaurd who stopped him because he thought he stole something from an HMV. He's a big native guy who obviously kinda fitts the general description of a shoplifter. We were in high school coming back from the mall from lunch and the gaurd grabbed his arm by the shoulder (like cops do when there trying to lift a handcuffed suspect from the ground). Wasnt too smart, he got his ass kicked royally while people were freaking out and workers in the stores all started calling the cops. Finally the police came and took him in.

A week later he told me about how he tried to use the self defense tactic that he had done nothing wrong and a security gaurd assaulted and harassed him, However he still got the charges for doing it while on the mall property. :S what a fucked up world.

Thats an unpopular opinion WoodsCall.

Think of it with Robin-hood-esque nobility - Stealing from the rich, to give to the poor. Its a rejection of western globalized consumer values which we cherish unquestioningly.

NEVER EVER steal from the individual, or the individuals business - but from a multi national corporation that is decentralizing communities, lowering the poverty wage, and in general fucking the individual/community/competition with its prescense - well.. i just fail to see how it's wrong.

(this is comming from someone who doesn't have the balls to steal!)

However, i am a reader of progressive anarchist politico shit ala. crimethinc. and have lived with many of those that live the lifestyle.

Im just wondering why its wrong to steal from walmart? My friend makes bank pulling receipt scams on the same big box stores constantly, free food at many restaurants, etc.

Its not taking wages from the workers? Its infact not hurting anyone..

Mr. WoodsCall - it seems you are viewing the corporation as if they were an individual, which they are not.

THEFT does not hurt them - and if your arguing on a moral basis - you have been mislead by the social values you've taken for granted. (i know the type.)

When those buzzers go off, just keep walking.

Theoretically, if someone touches you that isn't a police officer, that's assault. You can fight back with equal force and you would be innocent.

Also, what would the corporation rather have? A $5 product loss on a steak, or the bad press of someone getting shanked in broad daylight over a piece of meat?


This is why Barnes and Noble is the best place to steal from (not that i steal anymore) When I worked there, they had NO security (no cameras, guards, alarms), and they aren't aloud to do anything if they see anyone stealing. Employee theft there is rampant. I have two friends that are currently managers at Barnes and Noble and their stores they don't do anything about theft either. And books are so fucking expensive. I stole so much shit when I worked there because I was young and whiley, and annoyed at my low pay.

It is opening to or recieving the present moment, pleasant or unpleasant, just as it is,
without either clinging to it or rejecting it.

well.. i just fail to see how it's wrong.




Do you really want every individual to decide for themselves who is an acceptable target for their crime? Stealing is a crime, regardless of moral implications.

To call a person 'noble' for jacking stuff they didn't earn, regardless of the target.. that's fucking ridiculous. Is it okay to mug someone because you believe they are a bad person? Is it ok to kick someone in the nuts because they work for a tobacco company?

Anarchy doesn't help anyone except the most evil and selfish.

LOL it always amazings me how many different technics there are to stealing shit, I don't respect people that steal from other people. person against corporation is the best. jdirty is by far the badass here, I'm gonna have to try that. I remember when I was in HS we practically made a business of stealing games from the local Blockbuster. You know how there are 2 doors to get into the store and you can't reopen those doors once closed, well one person would lay down and keep the 2 doors open at the same time while the other would grab like 10 games or movies and walk right out the entrance door. no alarms or nothin, then we would sell them in school for 1/2 off. I think 1 year we made 3g's profit. Then we all started selling weed. Good shit.

My ritual when I go buy food in S&S is to slip a nice packet of smoked salmon down my shirt, man i love that shit.

I missed this post the first time I read this thread, and I was getting pretty annoyed at how everyone seems to condone theft. Thank you Woodscall for calling these people out on their petty selfishness.

Stealing is never okay, not even from big corporations. Any time you steal, you hurt a real person who cares, whether it's a CEO, a stockholder, or a fellow shopper who now has to pay higher prices to cover the cost of what you ripped off. You thieves are rationalizing your selfishness, and doing a pretty crappy job of it.

It may be an unpopular opinion but that bothers me the least.  What I really don't understand is why people feel the urge to upset the system by petty means. 

Seriously, whatever happened to vocal activism and reformation?  That's really what gets the ball rolling in these situations. 

Awwww, are the big corporations treating you unfairly by overcharging you and underpaying its workers?  Then start your own business.  Become educated.  Build your own computers.  Grow your own produce.  Make your own clothes.  Stop being lazy.  It IS hurting others. 
Maybe I am just riding a moral high-horse :rolleyes:







Maybe not.

I call bullshit on that. First, people who have computers and can post on the Shroomery are not poor, and don't deserve to get anything for free. Second, this Western consumer culture has given you and your friends almost everything they've ever had. If that culture were to reject THEM, they would find themselves without gas, electricity, money, or any mass-produced goods whatsoever, and they would be crying to get back in.

And if you think I sound like a rich fat capitalist, you're wrong. I've been unemployed for a year and a half now. I've got no love for Wal-Mart, and you know what I do about it? I simply don't shop there. But I don't weigh down the economic system with my unproductive lazy ass, and I don't deprive real people of the money they've earned.
