Before we drag out the rope, lets hear back from the OP.

Because sometimes people have excellent, unimpeachable, morally sound reasons for stealing DVDs?

Much more bullshit like that goes on and they f i n a l l y f u c k i n g l e a v e

Funny, that’s *exactly *how I felt reading your retarded OP.

Oh, I think it looks bad, but perhaps it was just some hyperbole that he may have used on them or to make the story kind of funnier. Or he could very well dig his hole even deaper than before.
[QUOTE=Caffeine.addict]
This is a bit troubling. Its one thing to grab some stuff from the all you can eat buffets in the dining hall and take it for later, but stealing shoes and DVDs seems kinda fucked up.
[/QUOTE]
A bit? Kinda?

It’s all in the justification.

Its all a matter of degree, I suppose. If he stole the shoes from war orphans, that would be extremely fucked up. If he stole shoes from a dumpster than it really isn’t fucked up since they would be going to waste. However, he does state in his OP that they are $175 shoes. I wonder what kind of shoes a college student wears that cost that much. Additionally, how do you steal shoes? Do you put them on in the store and walk out, leaving your old ones?
I would like to hear his explanation for things since often times, people post an OP with all sorts of stuff without explaining things or going into details on things that could clarify the story. Either way, I would like to hear more from the OP on these matters.
I’m impressed by a campus shop that sells olives. The ones near my undergrad only sold beer and chips. I had drive somewhere to buy olives and hard liquor.

People do it all the time. As for what kinds of shoes, probably some kind of designer sneakers-have you SEEN how much those things go for?
Either way, it’s fucked up.
(Oh, and taking shoes from a dumpster doesn’t really count as stealing).

Sure. For example, you can steal as many DVDs as you want, so long as you’re doing it to STICK IT TO THE MAN!

Just wait till you get the protesters.
[/QUOTE]
Eh. Pretty much all of them can be enraged and/or dispatched by looking at the pictures on their posters and saying “Damn, that makes me hungry!”
And I would love to hear the OP’s explanation of the stolen items. Dumpster diving is one thing, but this is sounding like outright theft. As for the Campus Crusaders – grow a pair and deal with it, OP. These two seemed pretty sedate; just wait until you have to deal with a screaming preacher who hates everyone except straight white males.

We had those in when I was in college, I stayed to watch for a while. The crowd would sometimes laugh at what he was saying. Some people would egg them on a little. Some would argue with them. The best ones would actually insult the audience calling us a bunch of heathens. Those were entertaining. I can’t imagine that they got many converts though.

Wait, so it’s okay to steal things you want, so you can buy expensive stuff?
:rolleyes:

(looks like I have aquired a hate group against me)
b. If I did not steal those things then I would not spend money on a $100 hat
Yes…I know…Trouble is that for the past 6 years I have had one good friend who thought like me and we did stuff pretty much every day. I guess that I am just looking for someone to replace him. Kinda hard to find when everyone around you is talking about the beer and that chick they did last night.
I thought that perhaps the people I would like to meet would be interested in someone reading a book under a tree.
Well, I can live with it. No guilt, why shouldn’t I? Just another $20 in my wallet that I can spend on something worth spending money on.
[/QUOTE]
You know, I thought you had just poorly worded your OP, and that you just did not admit to being an asshole thief. But yes, you are a thief. I guess it *is * hard to replace “friends” when you steal from them, eh? Fucktard.
Can we ban this dude?

a. What is wrong with a fur hat???

c. This thread was for me, I dont care if someone sitting at a computer 500 miles away feels sorry for me

No, they are just a pair of nice shiny dress shoes.

For starters, can you live with getting arrested and then getting kicked out of college? That is a very real possibility with stealing shit. Why risk your future for something completely stupid. Don’t be a moron. Besides, how would you like it if someone stole your new hat? If you want nice things, maybe you could get a job on campus. That would also be a good way to meet people.
Realistically, the best way to have friends in college is to meet people. Reading a book of post-apocolyptic prose under a tree is not going to work. How many other petty thieves hang out under trees? Besides, if you want to meet like minded folk, maybe you should visit the jails.

No, I do not steal from my friends. I do not steal from individuals, I steal from big places like walmart and borders. (oh, are you trying to justify it???) yes, I am.
