Re: Should I steal this money?
[ QUOTE ]
I do not believe your last little story. The odds are getting real large on the against side about one man encountering so many moral dilemmas. It does not matter to me what a man does to get the money to play poker. I've never judged others. I used to play with a guy who stole copper, aluminum, etc. at night. He'd be around the poker joint all day. One time this Art Professor who worked in metal figures got in a discussion with this thief about melting down varied metals. They both knew their stuff. If you are going to be a thief, be a better one. Quit looking at stealing on the small and figure some better thieving. When I was really broke, we'd steal food from the richie's garage freezers. You can go into a supermarket and graze. I still do that, being cheap is my hobby. I also breeze through the Holiday Inn for free coffee, free big cookies, free apples, the Wall Street Journal and the local newspaper, herbal tea bags that I take home. If you dress nice, you can go to Happy Hours and hit the buffet and move on. At any motel that provides free breakfast, I stroll in and serve myself. If I am ever caught, I'll say I am just checking in. Around any casino, you can find food, food comps. If you are going to be broke, learn how to be broke. If you are going to be a thief, learn how to steal properly. [/ QUOTE ] Well, I'm sorry you're sceptical but it's entirely true. I could post the name of the agency and law firm... but I don't think that would be a good idea! I may be many things but I'm not a liar, and everything I've said in this thread is true. It is unusual for me to face so many ethical dilemmas in a week, but there you go, they've all happened.

In Reno, there was considerable trade in "lucky bucks" at the standard 10-cents each. I'd buy 100 or so, and go play them with a real dollar each at clubs downtown. Expected pay-off was about 38 cents each. I also trafficed in Canadian dollars, buying them from Nevada Foreign Exchange at the going rate (anywhere from 70-75% on the US dollar) and then exchanging them at gaming tables for 80-90%........... It was really cool, easy money, and besides, I was 20. Was it stealing, well, not in my book. What you do around the old town of Lubbock, TX is STEALING - and besides, geez, you're 60+. That's not cool, that's just really sad. And by the way, what about your saying of "steal big?" Stealing apples and newspapers, pathetic. Dogmeat [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]
