Perhaps you should do a little more grinding, increase some more skills, and get some better items before trying again.

| Dodece said: I have every right to be sick and tired about shop lifting. The reality is it isn't harmless fun or what some would call a victimless prank. The reality is it costs me a lot of money. I have to pay more at the checkout, I have to pay more in taxes for law enforcement, I have to pay to prosecute and jail the offenders. The truth is every time someone brags about how easy it is to shoplift it encourages someone else to go do it themselves. Right now someone in this thread has read what you wrote, and said to themselves well if that person can do it seven times before they got a slap on the wrist ban. Then I can probably get away with it once. Which is probably exactly how you started shop lifting. I am sick of people abusing the system, and me being the one to pay the price. It isn't what you stole you know. It is simply the fact that you stole. It isn't that one person stole, but that there are a lot of people stealing. All that adds up, and everyone is left with the bill. Have you ever listened to Chris Rock. He has a very funny line that goes like this. "I hate the electric chair. You know why it uses electricity, and that costs money. My fifty dollars going to kill a guy that ain't worth shit." The degree of separation doesn't mean we aren't getting robbed. We are getting robbed just as surely as if you hit us over the head and lifted our wallets. We ought to be more upset not less. We are the ones getting punished while your getting away with out paying anything. You want to make it right this is what you should have done. You should have just said I got caught shop lifting. No tales of your success, or what you got away with, or how light your penalty was. The least you could is be ashamed or embarrassed by what transpired. How hard is that exactly. |
That certainly is one perspective.
Ownership is not an objective concept but one enforced by the pervasive ideology of the nation. Theft as dicussed certainly fits within that ideology because it is about individual ownership and the promotion of consumption.
I see your response as coming from that same ideology of individualised consumerism. You are at the end of a process that involves unbalanced and underpaid production, overblown and deceptive marketing or propaganda, excessive profit-making and self-interested theft. Each of them come from a morally dubious position. I see theft as no different from the other immoral parts of the process.
Anyway, that was my pretentious response to a thread about something else completely. Goes back to consuming.
Yes.

I'm not ashamed. I chose to do it, I got caught, end of story. This shouldn't continue any longer. Won't happen again, so relax. |
I worried about this answer, then checked your age, a teenager.
Ok... Eventually you'll understand later.
Stealing is LAME.

Not on topic, but I love your sig.
Anyways, K-mart sure is a credible source 
| Dodece said: The reality isn't that major retailers have bad security, or that someone is particularly good at being a thief. The sad truth is that major retailers do not want to prosecute thieves until they are quite reasonably sure that the perpetrator is pathological. Even then they will rarely go so far as to get law enforcement involved. About the only time that happens is when the theft is organized, or very heinous in its targeting. The simple truth of the matter is even a bad customer is worth more then no customer at all. What exactly happens if they catch and prosecute you. Well you are publicly shamed, and if you have any shame you will never shop at that retailer again. Perhaps your family is shamed as well especially in the case of young children, and they cannot shop at the retailer as well. That can actually add up to tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of dollars in sales in your life. Then there is the next question where do you shop now that you have been shamed. Well at the competition of coarse. For retailers it is a no win situation the act of prosecuting costs them business. Probably much more then they are losing on the occasional petty theft. They do not want to do it unless your just dead set on robbing them, or robbing them in such a way as it is costing them a fortune. The truth is you aren't half as clever as you think you are. Over ninety percent of thieves are captured on the repetition. They keep doing things in the same way they did before, and in the end someone will pick up on the pattern. Once that happens they are going to catch you. Being a thief is not something to brag about. You got caught by people that didn't even want to catch you. How fucking stupid does that make you. I hate thieves, because the retailers just pass the costs off on honest consumers. So I ask you why are you being a dick to me forcing me to spend more money. Your not hurting them your hurting me, and just about everyone else on these forums. |
WAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH.....If you're worried about having to spend more money then call your representatives and tell them to support the Audit the Federal Reserve Bill HR1207. It has passed the house but it needs more support in the Senate. Quit whining about someone stealing WOW cards.

Short answer: he doesn't know what he's talking about.
Long answer: he's only guessing and still has absolutely no idea what he's talking about.
Listen, I completely agree there's a PS3 slim coming, I just don't think there are any sitting in the K-Mart warehouse (I didn't even know K-Mart still existed!) and that there are always random things in every store computer.
| finalsquall said: Time will tell. Making sense though with all the discontinuations of Ps3 models. |
If I were to use the same mentality behind what is leading to all these slim rumors, and where they are getting them from, I would take your quote and the use it as evidence that Sony is discontinuing the PS3. Nevermind that I ignore the context of your post when doing this.

Stole a WoW 60 Day prepaid game time card. Little does walmart know, that's my 7th one. Got caught on it though. Who HASN'T stolen from walmart... seriously. |
I haven't. Never thought it worth stealing from. Also, I thought I would live the rich life by not stealing from anyone. I call it "going first class". Actually who bothers GOING IN a Walmart, unless you can't afford to shop elsewhere, or need to get something 2 am that you are out of.
