(tho after counting it im fairly sure it was short, likely the amount he put in, no biggie.)

This is a flaw in your argument. If OP gives back $5, $55, or $555 of the $1000 he took, does that make things right?

[ QUOTE ]
he did it bc it was right. and he could sleep better

[/ QUOTE ] he did what he felt was right to rectify the situation and get the guilt off his conscience.

so pls point out my argument.

I think that's right though.

Whilst I did post trying to justify it as 'not stealing', I guess I was just trying to morally justify the course of action I'm sure I'd take.

I think if this happened I would take the money. I'm a student and I'm far from rubusto. If this makes me a bad person, then, oh well. Having said this though I've never actually done this, and if it I did, you never know, I might get an attack of conscience!

FWIW, anytime you have to rationalize something, it's wrong. If you have to search for reasons why it's *not* wrong, then it's wrong. Take an intro class in ethics, and you'll finally be enlightened. Much props to all the sane voices in this thread that have said the same. It's great to see people in this day and age arguing for doing right.

that said this is still an awesome post

Just trying to figure out why a successful human being like yourself works SO hard to troll all my posts and comment negatively on anything I write?


[/ QUOTE ]

I don't have to work hard at all to comment negatively on the things you write, as they are typically so bad/stupid that a negative response is not only easy to come by, but also is the only option.

I think teh cage lady played this hand super poorly.

Super Crappy Casino Hand History

CageLady01 ($1950 cash)
AwesomePlayer ($950 chips)

AwesomePlayer dealt 1(rack-red)1(rack-red)

AwesomePlayer pushes $950 and is cashing out.

CageLady calls $950 and adds $1,000.

AwesomePlayer Rakes Stack of $1,950

CageLady mucks $950 in chips.

KEEP THE MONEY!!! OMFG!!!
Chip runners and cashiers try to short people all the time. It doesnt have to be crappy casinos. The worst place? The bellagio!!! I got shorted $500 bucks once at the bellagio. The next day a floor guy pulls me asside and tells me what happened and gives me $500. I give him a $5 tip and he just stands there like i spat on him, shakes his head in disgust and walks away.

This was a big eye opener and i started catching them all the time. I dont know how this can be an accident. their only job is knowing how to count! If some woman cant count and thats her job she shuld be fired. This isnt communism. And your not stealing from some mom and pop grocery store.

if you ask your mom to borrow $20 and she's old and doesn't see well and accidentally gives you a $50 bill and the next day you pay her $20 did you 'steal' $30. I think you did. BB YOU ARE A [censored] IDIOT AND SO IS YOUR IMMORAL THEIF FRIEND.
