Face it man, you get by in life by taking advantage of people. I don't care if you've saved money, that doesn't make what you're doing honorable. I've got money in my bank account too and I am glad to know that I didn't do it by being a scumbag.

If calling someone a thief and a liar makes you feel better about your own life and your route to success than by all means do it.

I bet you're right. I'm sure Wiccan has never stole something unnecessary like an Xbox HD when he had $20,000 in the bank. Poor Ego Death. What a terrible position he is in.

Not only does he level ridiculous arguments, but he shows ignorance.
And, please learn to write words that you actually know.
ordacity = audacity. That burns my eyes.
And, clearly he's stealing the article itself. At least the real author had some semblence of vernacular and language. Spare me.

Your definitions of a scumbag clearly differ...
I think if a mans honest about his faults and actions and is willing to take the bad parts of his choices hes not a scumbag....if he tries to lie and deny any of his actions...then hes a scumbag.
Being honest, is the act of not being fraudulent. If a thief takes something from you, but does not deny it in anyway, he is still honest.
Even people who work hard for their money can be dishonest and scumbags. Most just lie to themselves first, the rest just comes like clockwork at that point.

You can be honest and still be scum. If I went and raped little boys and girls, but was up front about it, would I not still be a scumbag?

He may be honest, but he's still scum from stealing from you in the first place.

What if hes stealing food for his family to eat? or pet food for a dog he got when he was more financially well endowed? where do you draw the scumline so to speak?
Is it the motivation behind the theft itself? or is it merely the act itself?

That, sir, is what we call rationalizing.
So, if I fuck people left and right with abandon, and own up to it... I'm magically not a bad person anymore?
Right. 
Nice try though.

I don't even need to address that argument because it's not the case here. We don't have to speculate as to why he steals, he's already told us he's financially stable.

Didn't I also say:
Quote:
I can understand the needy stealing some food, but you got $20K and steal xbox harddisks.
Hmm now then..
Quote:
its rather obvious that you have either never ever been in his situation in your life
You mean his situation of having $20.000 in a high-interest account in the bank, yet he's stealing stuff?
Also, don't judge me and what I've been through either 
Quote:
your upset because hes taking a different route than you did.
I'm "upset" because he steals without need, and justifies it to himself. I use these harsh words (which are entirely correct) hoping it will get him thinking and go further along the recycling/curbing consumerism road and abandon the road of being a crook.
Stealing is wrong, especially frivolous theft. If a true hobo, a homeless person, grabs a loaf of bread and makes a run for it I will step aside to let him flee the store. But underhandedly stealing xbox harddisks? Come in!
Oh and the true hobo that steals the bread.. he will feel BAD about having stolen, not brag about it to his mates.

it took him 3 years to get that $20k, he must be spending at least half to have so little, so much for a frugal hobo

It's all in context. If someone has a job but hoards the money away or blows it on unnecessary shit and then steals thing, I think he or she is scum. The same applies if a person refuses to get a job and then claims he has to steal to survive.
There are other ways of surviving that stealing though. If you are starving, there are food kitchens that will serve you for free.

Theft is theft. The implications of fucking someone over still exist.
This is pretty simple.
The only difference in your scenario is the pity concept. The man who steals for his starving family is, in the eyes of some, worthy of pity.
But he's still a thief.

Nah, I decided I'm not going to law school. I'm in the midst of the application process to go get my Master's, though. I've been accepted everywhere I've applied so far and have a few more schools to hear back from in March.

Your logic here is a bit flawed. First off, can you show me what a "true" hobo is and what qualifies you to make that decision?>
It seems to me your trying to play the judge and jury of right and wrong based on your experience and what you deem is right or wrong?
There is no universal code that says theft is wrong, and certainly not one that says only wiccan seeker shall aprove which is correct and which is immoral.
What I am trying to say, is that by making these judgments so quickly and without proper background information, it really does show a lot peoples moral superiority complexes.

if the man goes to jail for stealing to feed his family the courts show no leniency, he still goes to jail, he now has probation, fines, restitution and supervision fees to pay... it just got harder to feed his family, now he has to steal more, the sentance will increase and his poor children may die
seems that if he's swallowed his pride he'd have what he needed and maybe been given a chance to make a better life for them
