Second base.
... All the things you guys described consciously stealing make me cringe. If I can't afford to pay for it I'll try to do without it. As for mistakes in my favor that isn't stealing it's neglecting to correct a mistake.

In high school we used to steal those street barricades with the cool flashing orange lights on them. One particular night after a rather good haul of barricades we were heading to my house with a back seat full of flashing orange lights and barricades, some sticking out the window, we had so many orange lights flashing I could barely see to drive. You could see us coming from a mile away. And yes, of course, we attracted the attention of a passing cop. After several attempts at trying to explain away the barricades our parents were called and we had "Alot of splaining to do". That was a 3 month grounding. *sigh*

LOL some of my friends got drunk one night and went and stole mailboxes of all things. The next morning they awoke to cops banging on the door asking if their parents if they knew how like 20 mailboxes ended up in the bed of their children's truck. That was particularly swift of them, leaving the evidence lying around. If you aren't aware that is a really big bad offense, seeing as you could potentially be stealing someone's mail when you take the whole mailbox.
When I was 19 I was a crackhead... I am embarassed to say if something wasn't chained to the ground I stole it. It was 9 months of pure hell and a lot of people never forgave me for it, can't say I blame them. I never stole anything before or after that little 9 month window. I supported my habit mainly by stealing Toyotas. The 1988 SR-5 twin-cam Coralla came with racing seats and a blaupunkt car stereo and helped support my up to $500 a day habit.

Cringe all you want but you're stealing if you gain from someone else's mistake and, I might add, in many businesses the practice is to dock the employee's wages for his/her mistake. You seem to feel morally superior but stealing is stealing, even if it's only a pen.
It's not a matter of being able to afford something. It's the fun!
We have a winner.
Perhaps you should find another hobby if you steal for fun.
Maybe you should kiss my ass and take the utility pole out of yours. Just an idea...
So sorry. Why should I bother to read as much as might be relevant before making a conclusion? You don't.
Put me on ignore with etay. I can live without the ignorance and hubris of a 20 something.People without minds don't matter, and minds without people are just matter...
Skeebo did you steel from friends? That must have been awful!
I had an addict friend steal from me. She's still a friend but I don't leave anything too tempting around when I invite her for dinner.
Maybe you need to pick better friends, if I invited someone into my home, and they stole form me, I wouldn't call them a friend ;)
I had a friend that stole from me when he was using drugs and addicted . I trust this friend now that he is sober and know he wont do that to me again .
I make jokes about my past drug use but its not something I'm proud of and certainly not the sum of who I am now . I wouldn't want to be judged for the rest of my life for things that I did long ago .
My addicted friend is a good soul and trying to do as well as she can in a very rotten situation.Perhaps you can help her by pointing her into a rehab-recovery-program, to help make her rotten situation a lot better, if she is indeed a friend, that's if she really wants any help at all ;)

Boo:
What is up with you, man? Your retorts are becoming increasingly acerbic and abusive and the moderator reports are now arriving at a steady clip. You're still on post-ban probation. If you really do care about this place and want to stick around, please curtail the nastiness. I went out on a limb and allowed you to come back -- please don't make me regret this.

To answer your question Mecch, they were friends who were once strangers.
I am adamantly against consciously stealing anything or lying.
The way you prance around these forums on that high horse of yours, I'm quite amazed that you're HIV+. I mean, you know how it goes, you commit one sin, you've pretty much fucked yourself with all of them.
yeah, stealing is pretty shitty. i haven't gotten my 5 finger discount on in years and here is a story.
being black me and my white friends would use our races to our advantage. as teenagers we'd have to figure out how to get cigarettes. we'd go into gas stations and us black folk would go to the far corners of the station and rummage through stuff.
One Traffic Pylon from the autobahn in Germany, in 1969. Still have both the pylon, and the guilt. If I ever get to return to Germany, the pylon gets replaced right where it came from in Hockenheim. Sorry.
P.S. It was after a racing weekend, and I was on Acid. Sorry again for the immaturity.
