5 Things EVERYONE Steals by Ptoocool(m): 9:25am On Aug 19, 2014
You probably don’t consider yourself a thief; after all, you don’t walk into stores and pick an item without paying. You don’t threaten anyone physically to give you anything. But newsflash! EVERYONE steals. Let’s list a few of the basic things, shall we?

1. Movies and music: You think movies and music just happen to appear on your computer of their own free will? Wrong! You know that movie you just downloaded illegally? Well, that’s theft, honey. And that single – no, that entire album? Hmm, I’m thinking we have a problem here.

2. Pens and pencils: Haha. This is the most common (especially in banks). Know that pencil you “borrowed” from a friend or colleague and “forgot” to return? Well, you stole it. Think about it: how many pens have you actually bought? Or do you just always happen to have one dropped off by the pen fairy?

3. Lighters: Any smoker knows that you don’t buy lighters. Lighters just always find you. They’re quite like pens, honestly. You bum a light from another smoker, and before you know it, you get home and are emptying your pockets and gasp! Is that a lighter? Thief.

4. Cashier Slipups: This is the best. You know, you’re at the checkout counter and you’re buying five lighters, *sniggers* but the cashier only rings up three. Do you say something? Do you wait to see if she notices? What if the cashier was rude to you? Atimes it miqht be an extra change (very common) don't you just ignore it?
Or maybe it’s this: you’ve got a 12-pack of drinks (wine) under the cart and you forget about it until you get to the car, do you go back? When is it stealing and when is it an oversight? Or is it just an opportunity? Meh. It’s probably just God blessing you for being so good. It’s all yours, Sticky fingers.

5. Bonus Time: You’ve got a ton of work to do, but sometime during your work day, you decide to say “screw you” and you like a few posts on Facebook or glance through α few thread on Nairaland. Are you stealing your boss’s money? Because he is paying you for hours you didn’t work. Meh. Your boss is a tool. It doesn’t count right?

grin
Add yours.

Re: 5 Things EVERYONE Steals by maestroferddi: 12:09pm On Aug 19, 2014
You take stock of your station in life.

You see blessings and endowments that you enjoy not because you are exceptional.


You go to bed and wake up to see another day.


You watch as your loved ones thrive and stay alive and healthy.


Yet you get angry with God.

You deny His existence calling yourself an atheist or an agnostic.

You perpetrate acts that spill the blood of innocent people and endanger public safety.


You treat your fellow human being less than you treat an animal.

You display unparalleled self-centredness.

What are you?

not funny............ how do you defend your number one on the list? Take a look at this fact, bro: If the website that the music or video as a subject matter has a link to download, or there is a vivid instruction that you can download it, how is that one a theft?

in fact there are tons of websites that allow you to download as much as you can..free of charge!

If you say otherwise, you are simply ambiguous in your presentation, especially number one.
Thanks.
