    On becoming a troll, is one entitled to a free bridge?

    Hey hey hey! Easy tiger. Doni mightn't be perfect but there's no need to call him a troll. He's admitting he steals which is an important first step towards his rehabilitation.

    Just because you shout "troll" it doesn't mean to say it's true. Pighead once found a skull in the forest with huge devil horns coming out of it. Was convinced that he had just stumbled upon probably the biggest find this world has ever seen. Shouted out "Devil skull, Devil skull, Devil skull. It's the fcuking Devil's skull!" Miss Piggy came over to investigate, seen the skull and muttered "You're a dickhead Pighead, it's a deer skull.".

    So as you can see, maybe he's not a troll. People who steal do exist and some of them even use the internet.

    Only when you steal a bra for your colleague.

    never. its stealing and thats it. if you spent 1000euro in tescos they would still expect you to pay for a newspaper so dont try it in a small shop with a much smaller profit margin.

    Don't want to be pedantic, but Tesco actually have much smaller margins than most small stores. Tesco (and dunnes and the like) make their money on cash. They buy everything on credit, sell it, leave the money in their a/c for 90 days or so, earning ridiculous interest, hnece the huge profit.

    FYI :)

    Not condoning shoplifting at all though...

    What are you going to ask next Doni?
    When is it acceptable to trip up a blind person?
    Is it ok to steal candy from a baby?

    Jesus, I'm far from a witty & interesting thread starter but even my attempts are better than this.

    Never acceptable. Such a scummy thing to do no matter how cheap the item you stole is.

    In my opinion Shoplifting is understandable in some cases but is never acceptable.


    I hate the ones who shoplift even though they have the money to pay for the good :mad:

    When I was younger, I did it sometimes- obviously not nowadays.

    I couldn't think of anything more mortifying than being nabbed for shoplifting after a certain age.

    When I was younger I used to grab an ice pop or a packet of crisps and have it eaten before I reached check out. :)

    Not really, they can buy stock much cheaper than other stores. Everything else you said is correct though.

    Is it it wrong to steal a loaf of bread to feed your starving family?

    Well suppose you got a large starving family. Is it wrong to steal a truckload of bread to feed them?

    And what if your family don't like bread? They like.. cigarettes.

    Now, what if instead of giving them away.. you sold them at a price that was practically giving them away?
