You may have an education but you're certainly not smart. You know why? Because you made a comparison between stealing luxury items for which there is only want -- not need -- and stealing necessities without which one may not live.

Those who steal not out of necessity but out of want are detestable low-lives that would rather resort to unjust means of obtaining their fancies than apply their resources to rightfully acquiring their wants. This is especially true for those of us living in developed societies where social and income mobility is more a meritocracy than ever before. Rest assured, there was no, as you put it, 'classism' in my words. I simply see those like you -- people with a relatively high standard-of-living who steal out of want -- as pathetic, detestable bums. Nothing against homeless people. That's another topic altogether.

The grafiti remark made me laugh. Not because it was funny or anything, but because it further illustrated your limited capacities. There's a difference between vandalism and grafiti: the latter can be appreciated while the former should be detested. Whether I appreciate grafiti or not is irrelevant.

To conclude, you are a loser. You steal because you want to live outside your means and you're under the misunderstanding that there's no other avenue for vertical mobility up the social ladder other than a false, corrupt one. In my eyes, no matter how exclusive your clothing, no matter how lavish your lifestyle, you are a bum.

I find this thread despicable as well as all the posters who've responded positively to its underlying message.

Try spending more time figuring ways of legitimately making money to spend on the goods you covet and less time scheming ways of getting things the easy, pathetic way.

I hope some of you broke, unproductive rejects of civility actually try to apply these methods, get caught, and have yourselves arrested/fined for committing a felony. Put yourselves in a several-thousand-dollar hole for trying to obtain something of cost for nothing. The only thing better would be if the store/boutique owner or personnel broke your noses for attempting to shoplift merchandise. I know I'd do it if I were part of the management team regardless of any possible battery charges that may result.

And please, if only to keep yourselves from appearing anymore lowly and pathetic, don't argue the 'but prices of such & such are over-inflated anyway/businesses factor in losses from theft into their prices/etc.' If that's truly your stance, you'd be hypocrites if you did anything less than boycott said businesses/merchandise. Don't make this into a moral discussion when the mere premise of obtaining something for nothing illegally is morally corrupt.

Get an education, get a job, f*ing bums.
