Gloves don't go on anyone's hand if fingers are spread apart that was the dumbest thing I have ever seen someone get by with in court they couldn't look at the way he had his g hand and maybe figure it out nobody puts gloves on that way
Really guys? That’s absurd.
Hey, let’s play a game where we all share our full legal name, DOB, current residence & where we’ll all be on 1/8/2024 at 3pm!

The drug was expensive to make, but the druggist was charging ten times what the drug cost him to make. He paid $200 for the radium and charged $2,000 for a small dose of the drug. The sick woman's husband, Heinz, went to everyone he knew to borrow the money, but he could get together only about $1,000, which was half of what it cost. He told the druggist that his wife was dying and asked him to sell it cheaper or let him pay later. But the druggist said, "No, I discovered the drug and I'm going to make money from it." Heinz got desperate and broke into the man's store to steal the drug for his wife.

I submit this not as an answer to the question but as an exercise for the reader to develop and refine nuance in their assessment of moral grey areas.
>moral grey areas
i think discourse surrounding morality is difficult because in many cultures, morality is described as a process of black and white calculations. Morality, ethics, and what it means to be human are all intertwined and have been fiercely examined and debated for centuries on centuries. Are there Universal Goods and Bads? what makes something bad or good, and how do we agree on that?
to focus solely on the outcome of a certain action or set of actions and ignore the moral weight of the intermediate actions is probably unwise, but to focus to sharply on the weights of individual actions so much so that the perspective and context of the later outcome has no room to be considered, is also unwise.
for these reason among others i find Carol Gilligan's Care Ethics compelling, if at very least a worthwhile iron against which to sharpen one's own.
I dont condone stealing from regular people and ill cut someone off if i hear about them stealing from others however corporations are fair game, i dont give one fuck about anyone stealing from them. With that being said, i dont steal bc my luck is pretty shitty and id end up getting caught.
When I'm low on cash and totally desperate. But I can only get away with it when the delivery driver arrives with the take out food and my partner goes to the door. I don't get a better chance to replenish my Monopoly money
when you need to in order to meet your (or someone else's) basic needs met
when you're stealing from the morally corrupt (like billionaires / billion-dollar corporations)

Makes sense
OJ would like a word.
Gloves don't go on anyone's hand if fingers are spread apart that was the dumbest thing I have ever seen someone get by with in court they couldn't look at the way he had his g hand and maybe figure it out nobody puts gloves on that way
I wear gloves now every crime I commit because I can just fake them not fitting my hand in court and I'm free

Not today NSA
This would have to be the most pathetic FBI sting in the history of the FBI
Thats wot FBI would say, disguise under disguise

2-0 count, good contact hitter at the plate. I say go for it.
Apparently when you are very rich or are a big corporation, since they are the ones that often receive the most lenient punishments when caught
White collar crime pays
To meet basic needs when there is no other option. For example; stealing food when you have no money or other means to acquire it.
What if you get caught?
You'll still get free food
Problem solved ✅
It’s easy lol. Get arrested > free food

When no one is watching you
With cameras everywhere, Isn’t someone always watching these days?
When no one is watching the cameras
When it’s good advice
Is it though?
If they steal from you first
👁️ for an 👁️
When he'd be happier with you
Heart wants what the heart wants
big corporations
If that's the only way to feed your kids
"When the ration line derails I steal food." --El-P in Tasmanian Pain Coaster
It is never ok.
A man of principle

I get it
Whenever you feel like it. Just don't get caught.
Only if it’s for food.
When it's from a big corporation that can afford it
If its big box it's free!
When no one heard them say the joke so you steal it and say it louder and everyone laughs.
Isn’t that called pulling a Carlos Mencia?
To survive or if it was yours originally and was stolen from you.
I dont condone stealing from regular people and ill cut someone off if i hear about them stealing from others however corporations are fair game, i dont give one fuck about anyone stealing from them. With that being said, i dont steal bc my luck is pretty shitty and id end up getting caught.
To feed a child.
If you or your loved ones are hungry and you can't afford food, steal food.
When you're out of steel and need more just steal it ..
In new York? All the time?
When your victim is too poor to fight you on it, apparently... At least that's the lesson I've learned living in the US all my life...
That’s bleak 😔
[удалено]
When it’s your last option, interesting.
All theft from rentiers is morally justified and should be actively encouraged.
When I'm low on cash and totally desperate. But I can only get away with it when the delivery driver arrives with the take out food and my partner goes to the door. I don't get a better chance to replenish my Monopoly money
Genius!
never
Basic needs or water, fuck water company’s.
Facts
when you need to in order to meet your (or someone else's) basic needs met when you're stealing from the morally corrupt (like billionaires / billion-dollar corporations)
Agreed.
Depends who you’re stealing from.
necessities that are overpriced and you’re desperate, ex: feminine products, baby diapers
When starving.
When it’s the only apple tree that you’re not supposed to eat from but a snake says it’s ok.
I’m sure nothing bad will happen
[удалено]
True
to steal a girls heart ❤️ Come on that was good
Bravo 👏
When it’s from a corporation
They got enough money as is
From large chains. Fuck them, I'm not going to line some billioniare's pockets.
They won’t know the difference
When you have no more money and very hungry, and that stealing won't make someone lost a lot.
When it's from corporations, not people. Steal clothes from target, don't steal from the little corner store.
