You fucking asbo twats need a slap.
nah.

I would never rack anything from a smaller business,
but think of how unnoticeable it is from say, a home depot or something.
That's bullshit

Its still stealing though, no better than some dirty crack-head.

Carry on though, what goes around comes around init.

I hope the wink at the end of your post meant everything you said was sarcastic.. but this.. this is a terribly immature mentality and justification

Just like my paycheck from my job.. cause i buy stuff... with the money i earn

So in your case mattron stop bitching about having no funds to preorder 'return II space' or wait for it to be released so you can go nick a copy

People can steal as much as they want, I don't really care. But trying to pretend its somehow ok just because its from a large company/organisation is fucking pathetic.

My brother got caught stealing a tube of toothpaste from my local Co-op a few years back. He had an unnecessarily vicious fight with the security guard that lasted about half hour until the police turned up. He went to court for it. It was in the local paper.

Not much happens in South Wales....

We also stole the big wooden Swan from our local (The Swan), and sent the landlord lovely pictures of it in various other locations. They blamed the Rugby boys, teehee!

On this whole "is stealing from a huge company ok" business, even though I haven't I don't think it's as morally deplorable as some seem to think so. I mean if we're going to talk ethics, working at ASDA is fucking rubbish and badly paid, proper casual with a high turnover of staff to make extra sure they couldn't possibly improve heir lot no matter how big the profits get - they go directly into the pockets of share holders and execs so I don't se a problem with taking a tiny fraction of THOSE thieves' profit margins. You could balance it out by showering the staff with gifts? =P

Bunch of cheap ass bitch motherfuckers.

i dont think its OK to steal anything. nore do i think its morally deplorable. i see there is a difference between mugging some old granny in the street for money for cigarettes and stealing from tesco's cuz youre skint and cant afford to eat. anybody that can't see the difference isn't living in the real world. as far as general, petty shop lifting goes, i really dont care as long as it doesnt affect me. i know thats very self centred to say, but fuck it, i'm looking out for me. its years since i stole anything from a shop (i dont begrudge people stealing from shops as long as it isnt small independent shops trying to make a go of it) but i'm not doing it myself. as far as my little indescretion at the music festival goes, i was working for 'free', getting treated like shit and the people that were running the bar were total stnuc. call morally vacuous if you like.

Is stealing essential items like food really a crime?

I've stolen food cause I was fucking hungry, and lighters just manage to make their way into my pockets when I go grocery shopping.
