Dare I hope for a reliable answer? Oh, what the hey, let’s go for it!
VCO3, why do you really no longer work in a restaurant? If I were a betting man, I’d go with “The boss took pity on you and decided to only fire you and not have you arrested.”
For what it’s worth, I don’t think VCO3 is generally an asshole or a troll. It seems to me that at one point, he stayed in a job past his ability to perform it consistently in a professional manner, and he eventually recognized that and moved on.
The only things I see to take issue with would be the actions he took to express his frustrations, and his statements that he still believes these actions to have been justified. The former is, IMO, forgivable as long as there’s self-awareness and an honest attempt to improve one’s shortcomings…and, since he’s more or less withdrawn the latter during this course of this thread, I see no reason not to just let whatever happened in the past stay there from now on. It didn’t happen to us, he doesn’t do it anymore, he no longer seems to believe he was right to do it in the first place, and, well, fuck judgmentalism altogether.
Beyond that, sure, he’s started some goofy-ass threads, but goofy-ass threads are the currency of entertainment around here. If he has a tendency to state things a little bluntly, I’d chalk it up half to hyperbole and half just not giving a fuck what anyone thinks, which, when done on the up-and-up, I can absolutely respect. Personally, I like the guy overall.
Jodi: It’s justice for me and that’s all I need re: justice.
And cowardice? Nah, just a compromise. I don’t want to lose my job.
I guess my cat analogy fell through. All I meant to say with that is that I don’t need the comprehension of the target to feel good about the revenge.
As far as committing crimes and feeling superior. I define for myself what is a crime. Who doesn’t feel superior or justified when they feel they’ve acted correctly?
PunditLisa: I couldn’t care less about felonies in the moral sense simply because they’re defined as such.
Are you a sociopath?
Quoting Jodi form the other thread: “Of course you don’t see it as cowardice. You couldn’t justify it if you did. But it is. And I would not want to run the risk by eating in your restaurant, thanks.”
Even if I viewed it as cowardice I would still do it. But I don’t view it as cowardice.
It’s only risky to eat where I work if the diner is an ass.
VCO3 Would you put Thetans into my food?
What’s your definition?
I’ve alrady responded to this; you haven’t said anything new.
Yeah, that’s the part that makes it so pathetically small.
Defining what is or is not a crime is not your perogative; an action either is or is not criminal and your opinion on it is irrelevant. And the only way you could possibly feel you have acted correctly by doing this sorts of vindictive piddly shit is if you don’t really have much of a sense of what “correct” behavior actually is.
An ass IYO. Who the hell would want to leave that up to your judgment, you who apparently have literally no sense of decent behavior? Seriously, if I knew where you worked I would never eat there. I would never let anyone I knew, much less liked, eat there.
Good evening, I’m The Punisher and I’ll be your server tonight, you cocksucking lowlife invertebrates. You’re a cancer on society, and tonight I exact my vengeance. Would you like to hear tonight’s specials?
I used to keep quarters in my ass, but I was so tight they kept turning into dimes. And that’s not cool.
I don’t share your assessment
It’s not my prerogative? Says who? The ‘Law’? Pffttt…
To generalize, just because something is a law doesn’t mean it’s ‘good’.
I write my own laws. It just so happens that the vast majority of them coincide with those of society in general.
Ok, fair enough. I have provided no frame of reference. You have no way of knowing that I don’t act “horribly” all day long.
I don’t do it very often, maybe I dunno, once a month or so? But I don’t strive to meet a quota…
You gotta be pretty bad. I’m sure you’re safe.
In general, this is true.
In the specific, laws against serving people contaminated food are a good thing, and you’re an asshole for breaking (or even advocating breaking) them.
Although I suppose if your sense of self worth has been so completely erroded that the only way you can get a whiff of superiority is by spitting in someone’s Grand Slam breakfast, I mostly feel pity for you. Well, maybe not “mostly.” Call it half and half with contempt.
Who cares?
Y’know, I’ve met lots of people who think they make their own laws, but they don’t. In reality that’s just some bullshit thing they tell themselves to make themselves feel bigger or better. But the truth is that when they’re own personal “laws” conflict with the laws of society, the real law runs them over, chews them up, and spits them out.
The law that matters is the law that can be enforced. That isn’t whatever bullshit you consider your personal “law.”
LOL, that’s pretty funny 
I’m not. I wouldn’t trust you as far as I could throw you. I wouldn’t intentionally eat at any restaurant you worked at.
If I were a waiter I’d jizz in your food on general principle Monsieur Porthos. Your do-gooder scorn offends my delicate sensibilities!
Of course I’d rather work in a food coop insulting Maryland Zionists than deign to be a waiter.
Ok, well, whatever. Can we ATD on this one?
No, I really do make my own laws. Sure, they’re just personal laws, but I live by them. Of course, when societies laws conflict with my laws, society “wins”. They’ve got guns and fast cars and judges and everything… I do my best to avoid such conflict.
But I have to ask: are you telling me that you blindly follow every and all laws written for your society? All of them? If so, I’d say that’s pretty silly and naive.
What I’d like to know is-why hasn’t someone banned this fuckwit yet?
