Stealing food

the grocery stores around my town don't have cameras. my friends always steal bottles from the liquor section (not me, i'm smart enough to buy my alcohol) and we alwasy used to steal beef jerky when we had the muncies.
 
I had a friend in h.s. get arrested for stealing $10 worth of cheese. They will arrest you for little things.

I think there are tons of other ways to get food before resorting to stealing it, however you rationalize the theft. Most churches and community centers have a pantry that is just there for people to come ask for food. The church I grew up in would give away a bagful to anyone coming to ask for food, all kinds of canned goods and other non-perishables and whatever. They also helped out with money and fresh foods on occasion.
 
The way I see it, stealing, like all things, is only immoral when it affects somebody in a negative fashion. Stealing food from a corporate behemoth like, say, Walmart, I think, is not immoral. Most of those corporations are so despicable in their business practices and employee treatment, if anything, you're going to be earning positive karma by stealing from them.

I could have sold the drugs I had bought from the Ghetto to someone but didn't want to face the legal consequences of this (I bought the drugs before I ran out of money). It wasn't a case of me spending the last of my food money on drugs!
 
I steal drugs from my dad, who is a pharmacist. Is this immoral? He basically pays for the drugs I use (it's not as if I'm depriving anyone of their medication).

I've stolen:

Methadone,
hydromorphone (I assume this is an opioid),
Xyrem (GHB),
Diazepam

and codeine.
 
a lot of you seem to rationalize stealing from big corporations because you believe that they are immoral in their practices. two wrongs dont make a right.
 
I'm with chrissie...I don't quite understand that mentality. Somewhere down the line you are hurting someone. That big corporation that's losing profits doesn't just eat it up...it raises the prices, or lays someone on the lower levels off, both of which hurt your peers in some way.
 
I think it might even be a matter of pride. I think if I had to choose between stealing and begging, I'd choose stealing. Atleast then, you rely on your own prowess and you're taking risks.

Begging requires no skill and is humiliating. Stealing atleast has a nice ring to it.
 
Both are illegal, and you have greater chance of getting caught begging, as in you are on the side of the street. Although there are pan-handlers in my area that gross a million a year. We have a lot of rich people here.
 
I just mean stealing seems so much more adventerous than begging. I guess I'm thinking about those cool underground operations you see in the movies where they heist diamonds and large amounts of cash.

Bullshit. Ever hear of Ghandi? Or World War 2? Maybe Allied soldiers shouldn't have shot those nice Germans running the concentration camps.

The only real crime is getting caught.
